This courseware evaluation rates the Nutri-Calc |
|
microcomputer program developed by CAMDE of Tempe, |
|
Arizona. (The program--not included in this document-- |
|
consists of Nutri-Calc, which calculates total |
|
nutritional intake and Recommended Daily Allowances, and |
|
Calorie-Magic, which calculates individual ideal caloric |
|
intake.) Part A describes Nutri-Calc in terms of subject |
|
area (food and nutrition) and hardware requirements (IBM- |
|
PC or XT, Apple II, MacIntosh, or TRS80) and indicates |
|
its suitability for use with students in grade 11 and up. |
|
Listed next are accompanying materials (manual) and time |
|
estimate (30 minutes). Availability information includes |
|
cost ($99.95), policies, and contact address. Part B |
|
contains the evaluation criteria in eight categories; |
|
reviewer ratings appear as yes, somewhat, no, and not |
|
applicable, with explanatory comments. Part C summarizes |
|
the evaluation. This program could supplement a nutrition |
|
class, but classroom discussion is needed. Instructors |
|
were found to be difficult to follow and unclear. |
|
Moreover, some program commands do not work, it is |
|
difficult to exit, and the manual is not clearly written. |
|
A summary section shows that this courseware received |
|
overall ratings of "yes" for subject matter and |
|
application programs; "somewhat" for technical |
|
presentation, student interaction, and documentation; and |
|
"not applicable" for program interaction, student |
|
evaluation, and work behaviors. The program can be used |
|
to supplement class material, with help from the |
|
instructor. (SK) |
