About the Appetite and Obesity course

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.

The following is a list of articles that the members of POL 214 will be working on during the Fall 2009 semester.
