HLTH-6005 Perspectives of Health

Module 1 Discussion

Why did you decide on a career in a health field? What do you envision as contributions you will make to your community (or to society) as a health professional? What other types of professionals do you expect to collaborate with as you deepen and broaden your perspectives on health education? These are some of the questions you and your classmates will consider as you participate in this module’s discussion. Through the discussion, you will get to know your colleagues, and they will get to know you, as you share with each other your health-related interests and vision.

MODULE RESOURCES

TO PREPARE:

Reflect on your motivations for pursuing a graduate degree, health-related interests, and your personal vision as a health education professional. Also, be sure to pay careful attention to the components that are to be included in your discussion and to the various deadlines for posting to the discussion board.

Note: In grading every required Discussion, your Instructor uses a Discussion Rubric. Review the Rubric prior to completing your Discussion.

BY DAY 3 OF WEEK 1

Start the Discussion, introducing yourself. Specifically, do the following:

Share whatever personal information you are comfortable with, such as where you work, where you reside, information about your family (people and/or pets), what your undergraduate degree is, and whether you have taken an online class before.

Briefly describe why you have decided to pursue a master’s degree, what areas of health you are most interested in, and what contribution(s) you hope to make to your community (or society in general) after you have earned your degree.

Lastly, tell your classmates two things about yourself (e.g., a place you have been, something you have done, a talent you have, an unusual pet, etc.). However, one of these things is to be true and the other fictitious. Do not give away which is true just yet. Your colleagues will guess which of the two “facts” about you is not true.

BY DAY 5 OF WEEK 1

Read what your peers/colleagues have posted and respond to at least one of your colleagues by commenting on what they have shared about themselves and/or share any related personal or professional experiences and insights you may have. Also, make your best guess as to which provided “fact” you believe is not true.

BY DAY 3 OF WEEK 2

Continue the Discussion. Respond to at least one additional colleague by commenting on either what they posted to you or what they have shared about themselves. ALSO, reveal what “fact” about you was not true.
