which are Psychology and Physical Education. In my majors I will be expected to teach learners about nutrition therefore if I acquire a lot of knowledge about nutrition then I will be able to deliver a lesson that will be educational in a way that firstly I will be teaching teenagers who tends to be obese and during their lunch break they eat a lot of junk which is sold in their tuck shops therefore I will extend their knowledge whereby they will be taught on how to take care of their health and what certain foods can affect one’s health.

Expectations from this MOOC I intend to learn more about nutrition, so that I could be able to understand the scientific basis of human information and gain the skills to evaluate nutrition information from various sources and also to be able to apply the knowledge that I have acquired to make informed choices about my own lifestyle and also be able to teach my learners about nutrition and how to take care of themselves.
