Attending live Seminars is highly recommended, as it is important to your academic success. The Seminar allows you to review the important concepts presented in each unit, discuss work issues in your lives that pertain to these concepts, ask your instructor questions, and chat in real-time with your fellow classmates. In this course, there are graded Seminars in Units 1 through 9. You must either attend and participate in the live Seminar or complete the Seminar Alternative Assignment in order to earn points for this part of the class.
Healthy Habits
It is not easy being a small child in today’s world of consumerism. In order to prepare for Seminar, complete one of the three activities found in the B section of the “Chapter Review” in your text (Chapter 16). Come to the Seminar prepared to talk about your activity and to respond to the following:
Think about the health habits of the children you know. What are the most frequent food choices of these children? Why? How could you help improve their eating habits?
