            <p>Navigating the landscape of academic research is a critical foundational skill for first-year undergraduate students in the Bachelor of Food and Nutrition program. This course provides a comprehensive framework for understanding the research lifecycle, beginning with the fundamental steps of planning and selecting a relevant, manageable topic within the dynamic field of nutritional sciences. Students will learn to transition from broad areas of dietary interest to formulating clear, focused research questions using structured models such as the PICO framework. By establishing a robust research plan early on, students can effectively manage their time, streamline their literature reviews, and significantly improve their academic outcomes in university-level studies.</p>

<p>Beyond the initial planning stages, this curriculum emphasizes the critical evaluation and systematic organization of scientific literature. Students will develop the ability to distinguish between primary, secondary, and tertiary sources, and apply rigorous evaluation criteria, such as the CRAAP test, to identify credible, evidence-based nutrition information while recognizing potential biases, commercial conflicts of interest, or pseudoscience. Furthermore, the course instills essential practices for organizing research materials and upholds the highest standards of academic integrity. Through detailed instruction on proper citation practices, including the application of standard academic formats such as APA style, students will understand how to ethically report scientific information, avoid plagiarism, and contribute responsibly to the academic discourse in health and nutrition.</p>
