This should be a commentary/reflection on what your group gained from the experience of working with this community partner, including what you learned about
  1. yourselves
  2. the community you worked with, and
  3. what it’s like to ‘do’ nutrition education in the community (250 – 350 words). Please send this report to your community partner by April 11, and cc me on the email message in which you provide the report to them.
3. Optional additional appendices: You may also include a maximum of 3 pages of additional appendices, if necessary. The format for the appendices is flexible. No particular formatting guidelines must be followed, but they must be easy to read.

Style

The report should be written in paragraph form with bulleted lists as appropriate, and properly referenced according to the style used in the Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior (as described here: http://www.jneb.org/authorinfo).

Deadlines

There are two submission deadlines related to your written report.

Three sections (those indicated above in blue) must be submitted before 11:59 PM on March 10: the Introduction, Situational Analysis and Planning Framework, and Project Goal(s) and Objective(s). Those sections will be graded (that initial submission will contribute 10% to your overall course mark) and you will receive formative feedback to assist you with writing the remainder of your report.
Your final complete report (containing all sections listed above) must be uploaded to Connect before 11:59 PM on April 11, 2014 [2015 date needed]. If you were satisfied with the grade received on the three sections submitted on or before March 10 [2015 date needed], you do not need to change the text of those sections and they will not be remarked. However, if you would like to incorporate the feedback received on those sections into revised versions of those sections included in the final report, you may make changes and those sections will be remarked when the complete final report is marked. You must indicate on the title page of your report whether you wish to have the Introduction, Situational Analysis and Planning Framework, and Project Goal(s) and Objective(s) remarked with the final submission.
