How is this course organized: |
|
|
|
Course Learning Outcomes (in the Syllabus) are the major purposes of
this course and what you are expected to be able to do by the end of the
course. 2. Weekly Focus (in the Assignments area, in each weekly folder) break
the Course Learning Outcomes down for each week. This is a preview of what to
learn in the chapters, videos, and discussion for the week. Read the Weekly
Focus carefully so you will know what to concentrate on. 3. Weekly video. These videos have been carefully selected to introduce
and further explore certain health topics. And hey, who doesn't like a movie
once in a while! These videos are well done, so grab a cup of
coffee or tea ☺, relax, and watch the movie. 4. Weekly 5. The Additional Exploration section is not optional. The
information provided here is for you to read and review (and hopefully print
and keep). Some of this information may end up on the test, so if I suggest
reading certain things, it is a hint. 6. Weekly Assignments, reinforce material in the textbook, gives you
opportunities for discovery and provides a practical
side to your personal health education experience. There as five of these. 7. Online Weekly Discussions demonstrate your critical thinking based on
knowledge gained from videos, lectures, chapters, your own experience, and
others' experience. Your participation counts toward final grade. There are
six formal discussions. The last week (week 7) is optional but much
appreciated (and worth 4 points extra credit on your 3rd exam) 8. Weekly Project Activities prepare you for the Semester Project which demonstrates your critical thinking
based on knowledge from the chapters, videos, research and hands-on
experiences (the most important kind sometimes). Project counts toward final
grade. In a seven week course it is important you dedicated every week to the
project, and these activities will help |
