Quality of Explanation of the Subject Matter: Strong (2)

While the subject matter is explained well, some items that that are important for a deeper understanding of the material have been left out. For example, when discussing Body Mass Index, there is no mention about the problems associated with using BMI. While BMI is great for making large scale generalizations when describing a population, there are some disadvantages in using BMI as a diagnostic tool for the average person. BMI does not take into account muscle, so a person who is extremely muscular, may have a BMI score that shows that he or she is overweight or obese.

Opportunities for Deeper Learning: Strong (2)

In the mental health and stress chapter, no suicide hotlines or text lines are listed anywhere. Since suicide is now the second leading cause of death for young people ages 15-24, it is important to provide resources for getting and receiving help for suicidal ideation, depression, and feelings of hopelessness.

Great interactive activity included for body image. However, videos are not captioned for all students.

Utility of Materials Designed to Support Teaching: Strong (2)

Some of the diagrams and figures used in this course are outdated. For example, the obesity graph is from 2014. Unfortunately, we have even greater numbers of obesity currently.
