We recommend students have a good grasp of the English language, so that they will be able to complete textbook readings, interpret research articles and write research papers (NUTRI 310, 322, 340). We recommend that students have basic math skills, as they will need to calculate ratios and percentages, perform unit conversions, and costs estimates. Students should be comfortable with computers in order to use email, diet analysis software, word processing software and the Internet. For online classes, students will be required to assess their skill by completing the following quizzes: Technical Skills Quiz and Student Skills Quiz at http://www.cvc4.org/student_prepare/survey2confirmation.asp Students with a total score of 75 or less should be advised to enroll in HCD 320, Skills for Online Student Success in order to successfully navigate the online Dietetics program.
