Goals and Learning Objectives
The goal of this course is to allow you to develop a user-friendly portfolio of health topics and issues. These topics and issues will be researched dynamically on the Internet and shared with your peers both formally and informally. To facilitate your achievement of this goal, the following are the course learning objectives. By the end of this course you will be able to:
1.Present to the instructor a comprehensive portfolio of the covered topics and issues. This will be in either the form of a Blog or in hard copy.
2.Demonstrate dynamic research by showing documentation for the information you have gathered on a topic. This should be in the form of a bibliography and citations.
3.Demonstrate that you have shared information formally and informally. Formal sharing will be accomplished by either presenting copies of your research to your peers by letting them copy and paste from your Blog or by handing out hard copies of your report to your peers. Informal sharing will be accomplished by class discussion.
4.Demonstrate your knowledge of subject matter by doing a reflective write up on information covered in class. This can be accomplished in your Blog or in written form.
