Unit 4

Overview

Now let's pause to reflect on our learning about adult aging and begin to make some connections between ideas before we move forward to our exploration of nutrition and wellness.

You will spend considerable time this week in 'conversation' with your colleagues. The work this week is to post your reflections and then engage with your colleagues.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this unit, be comfortable in your ability to:

• Use the concepts and perspectives you've learned about healthy adult aging to construct a provisional focus for your final project.
• Identify key take-aways from your learning in the first three units of this course, particularly their relevance to your own life.
• Participate in a collaborative process with your colleagues of pausing, reflecting and connecting.
• Identify new, emerging questions about the connections between positive adult aging and nutrition.
