JoinIntegrating Experiential Learning into the Study of Nutrition: Weighing the Dietary Habits of Students at Maryland's Goucher College
Experiential learning allows students to apply knowledge learned in the classroom to real life problem solving and decision making.

The aim was to make the course as interesting as possible so that students would learn by doing and not be intimidated by nutrition science.
