About the Appetite and Obesity course

‘Appetite and Obesity’ is an elective course from the Honours Medical biology programme in the School of Biomedical Sciences at the University of Edinburgh, UK. The overall theme of the course is the study of the body homeostasis and the epidemiology of obesity with a focus on understanding current trends in obesity research.

Project Description

This Eduzendium project is the first of four components of a multi-genre research and writing project (described in full here). In addition to writing encyclopedia articles about individual interest groups, POL 214 students will write opinion essays that use their peers' encyclopedia articles as a research springboard, letters to the editor that respond to their peers' opinion essays, and compositions that reflect on their research and writing process. Grant funding to develop this project was provided by the Center for Teaching, Learning, and Technology at Illinois State University.

What We'll Be Working On

The following is a list of articles that the members of POL 214 will be working on during the Fall 2009 semester. These articles will be closed to editing by other citizens until after the conclusion of the course, though we'd appreciate hearing any comments or suggestions you might have on their respective talk subpages.

For each of the articles you plan to have your students work on, please add a line of the form {{r_EZ|Title of your course's article 1}}, which will display as





etc.


Once the articles have been created, they will be listed here in the following formatting:
