Blended Course Map: NUTRI SCI 379 — Introduction to Epidemiology

Blended Learning

This blended course map was created by a participant of the Blend@UW Course Design Series. It represents an example of how activities could be designed for one unit of a course to achieve the course and unit outcomes.
