Hi
I was just wondering what the diet analysis component of life science 2N03 was about? Also, does it count for marks? Thanks

And here I thought it was a "Please analyze my diet to see if I can improve my health"

Its an optional assignment where you track what you eat, how much you eat, what time you eat and the macronutrients and micronutrients of what you eat (same for drinks). Then you analyze the data based on the Canadian food guide and with what you learned in the course. It's pretty straight forward if you start early. You don't have to do it for example if you score really high on the midterms then you don't have to worry too much about it. It's defiantly there as an option if you need it. It also has the advantage of taking 5% weight off each midterm (2 midterms) and the exam so 15% total. The exam was pretty straightforward so its your call as to if you would want to do the assignment. -It is possible to score better on the midterms and exam than the assignment without putting a huge amount of time into the course.

I noticed it's part of the textbook package at titles, but can you get it used? Also, is it a type of program where you record the data online or was it something you physically had to hand in?

Last year it wasn't maybe this year it is. Last year you did have to hand it in physically. Don't worry too much about it because the class averages for the midterms were around 80 and 89%. So the people who fall way below those averages usually do the assignment.
