Dear Students, Welcome to Health 11: Principles of Healthy Living for Spring 2012, Session B. This course will provide a comprehensive overview of the key health issues that affect human individuals and populations. We will also deepen our understanding of healthy choices, and develop practical tools to apply health information to our daily lives. In our time together, we'll be covering a breadth of important material. This term will be very fast paced and challenging. I encourage you to keep an eye on deadlines and participate actively in our discussions, both online and during our weekend meetings. All materials, including schedules and resources needed for the course is located on the ETUDES website at https://myetudes.org/portal. As part of your introduction to this course, I would like you to go to "Discussions and Private Messages" on the website and answer Discussion Topic #1, “Self-Introduction.” It will ask you to introduce yourself to the class. Tell us something about yourself. Why you are taking this course? What are your educational goals and what are your plans for the long term? Is there other information you are comfortable sharing with the class? As part of this assignment, you will need to reply to two other students and welcome them into the class. This will help us all get to know one another a little better before the class actually begins! The website will open for preview on April 2, assignments begin on April 9. The first week ends on April16; I strongly encourage your immediate participation in Discussion Topic #2, “Changing Health-Related Behavior” on the web site. Through group participation in the discussion topics each week, there is an opportunity to experience the multiple perspectives from your classmates (and to some extent from myself) and to listen to one another about important topics related to this course. Also, to get started you should: Purchase the textbook, Essential Concepts for Healthy Living, 5 th Edition (2011 Update) by Sandra Alters and Wendy Schiff, ISBN 978-0-7637-8975-6. Contents of this textbook are used extensively throughout the course; successful completion of the course will require access to the textbook contents. To prepare for the lecture on April 14 & 15 and Quiz 1, read Chapters 1 and 2. The Human Condition Study Guide, 5 th Edition (2008) by Sandra Alters and Wendy Schiff, ISBN 978- 0-7637-6376-3 is optional for purchase. This workbook complements the textbook and contains practice exercises and tests to help you succeed in the course. Select a method to view The Human Condition video series. The videos are a compelling series that explores the major health concerns and issues that we face at the beginning of the 21 st century. The videos are a valuable part of this course content and material from the series is included in various assignments and tests during the term. Download the syllabus from the ETUDES web site under the “Syllabus” icon at the upper left of the home page. Locate the Syllabus Quiz under the “Assignment, Tests, and Surveys” Tab, also at the left of the home page. Be sure to read the Syllabus carefully so that you understand what is expected of you during this course and so you can earn maximum points on the Syllabus Quiz.
