Week 6 iLab Grading Rubric


In this week’s iLab, you will explore your own body and your knowledge of over the counter medications. I am not sure why these two things are grouped together in this iLab but they are!

There are 3 sections to this iLab assignment. First, you will define what the term “BMI” means and then, you will calculate your own value and show the math work (or at least, explain how you arrived at your value). You will then, compare your individual BMI value to the standard tables and write up a short essay interpreting your value and defining whether you are underweight, normal weight or overweight. Once you have identified your weight status, you will then, detail an action plan for yourself, based on your values and your individual goals. Basically, depending on where your BMI values fall, you will write up a diet and exercise plan that helps you either gain weight, maintain your weight or lose weight. Plan must include both a dietary and physical activity component (3 sections of the iLab so far).
