  7. Strategies for Success

  8. Curiosity & Honesty • A genuine curiosity in exploring Issues in Public Health will serve you well, both in life and in academic studies of other disciplines. • Honesty is assumed. • Your personal integrity is too valuable to jeopardize, therefore be honest at all times in the work you produce and in your communications with your teacher and fellow students. • Refer to your student handbook to read about the school’s Academic Integrity and computer use policies.

  9. Be Proactive & Disciplined • Be proactive. • If you are confused, raise your hand, ask your questions, seek extra help. • Above all, take responsibility for your work and your learning. • You will succeed in this class to the degree that you wish. • Discipline yourself to stay organized and to manage your time for study. It is the key to collegiate success!

  10. Stay Organized! • Keep all of your work, journals, research and corrected work in your binder. • Regularly check the on-line homework page. • All work will be announced first in class, and will also be posted to the on-line homework page a week at a time. • It is suggested that you check the on-line homework page when you have been absent.

  11. Active Reading • Actively read your handouts. • You may underline/ highlight/annotate but only as a means to help you recall . • Jot down words and make notes for yourself in your notebook. • If there is something you disagree with, do not understand or find particularly helpful or insightful, note those things. • Scanning or “looking it over” does not constitute “active critical reading”. • Remember note taking/highlighting is useful only if it can be understood and used by the student. • In short, don’t take notes for the sake of taking notes, but to the purpose of how it can help YOU personally.

  12. Levels of Performance • “A” work for this course means “exceptional mastery of the learning outcomes, work which demonstrates higher levels of critical thinking, exceptionally insightful, very thorough, extraordinary!”. • “B” work is very good work, above satisfactory, work which shows evidence of effort and contains some levels of insight. • “C” work is satisfactory work, work which demonstrates that the learning outcomes have been reached, but lacking the criteria mentioned for A or B work. • “D” work is work which is unsatisfactory, and which fails to demonstrate that the student has learned the required outcomes.

  13. No textbook…but many resources! • Google books • Questions/quiz will follow readings • Articles • Read in class & analyzed at home
