课程概述

In this course, we’ll look at the facts and misconceptions around obesity and discuss key physiological and psychological concepts around the brain’s control of appetite and body weight. We’ll consider the biological and environmental pressures that make it easy to gain weight (and hard to lose it!). Most importantly, we'll give you the opportunity to reflect on your own knowledge and assumptions around the subject. We deliver course materials as a mixture of videos, audio-only MOOCcasts, and a selection of short readings. There are short weekly quizzes, a peer-reviewed exercise, and discussion activities on the forum. These will help you prepare for the final project. In it, you are invited to demonstrate your evidence-informed understanding and express how you'll develop it beyond the course. The course features Citizen Science projects. We'll collect data from you (anonymously, of course) and use it to drive participant-led discussions of controversial ideas. In this way, we hope to explore ideas around diet and obesity. These projects also give a taste of how scientific evidence is collected and interpreted by scientists, and give some indication how much there still is to discover and understand....

The course opens the door to a better understanding of obesity, through a simple but evidence-based explanation. It is highly recommended for anyone wishing to learn about obesity without bias.

I was disappointed with the content of this course and its clarity of getting the information accross. I would have like to see more direction and more information on earing real foods and the avoidance of ultra processed foods, I found it a very light touch but overall I enjoyed the course. Well done for putting it out there for free, I would not have done it otherwise.

A Good Introduction to the field, certainly easy to absorb informative and short enough to establish the current areas of interaction in the realm.

I recommend.

I am very glad for participating to this course. Because I could get more and more helpful, necessary, needful pieces of information which changed my mind absolutely about obesity. As we know, obesity has been a global problem for all countries for more than decades. So that, I understand people who have this problem immediately should work with themselves. Because it is quite possible that the result of obesity can lead to various bad things. For instance, can cause several different diseases like heart attack, high blood pressure, diabetes, and especially can cause chronic diseases. So that we need to take care of our health! One more thank you for oraganising perfect, wonderful, helpful course like this to the wise, sensible, hardworking students like me!

It is very informative about the health problems caused by unhealthy eating and explains in an understandable manner. By the end of this course, you are guaranteed to have the right concepts of obesity and a healthy life in your head. It is also very easy to understand, anyone above the age of 14 could do this course! This is definitely a must-learn!

This course is very rich in content and the analysis on obesity is quite deep. I learned a lot from this course and got many new insight on obesity from many experts during this course. It's worth to spend some time to take this course. Special thanks to professor John Menzies.

I learned a lot about the psychology of obesity and weight loss, as well as how our parents and caregivers can have an impact on our relationship with food. This is a great beginner class with lots of very good information.

A real eye-opener. I had different views on the matter. It certainly cleared up the difficulty we all-even they the scientists-have on grasping the concept and dealing with obesity as a social phenomenon.
