Community Health Fall 12

I can't believe this starts in justs over a week. Anyone else in for this one?

The music class includes the elements of music (sound, rhythm, harmony, etc), and the different periods of music, ie. music in the middle ages, the baroque period, classical period, etc. There were about fifteen quizzes and you can retake unlimited amount of time. I think there were four tests, not bad mostly questions from the quizzes. Listening assignments for each section. I worked ahead and finished the class in four wks.

Ok so, has anyone received instructions from their TA yet about how long this community organization paper is supposed to be? I'm assuming the typical 3-5 page rule applies here!

What community organization paper? .. is that the one we are supposed to find that connects to the Healthy Peoples objective we picked? I didn't get that it was a paper, I thought it was a DB... I guess I better re look at it.

I emailed my TA about the vulnerable popluations assignment b/c it says 3 different things and she emailed me back taht she didn't know and they were supposed to have a meeting of TA's today and she would let me know. If the TA can't figure it out, how are we supposed to?

Nothing from my TA. The instructions say "Write a two page paper to summarize the findings". The rubric does not state how long the paper needs to be.

OK so I relooked at it and found number 4 says"After you complete the website visit, write a two-page paper to summarize the findings"

Oh goodie.... an APA formatted paper, just what I wanted to do this week after I have oral surgery...

I feel a lot of fluff coming on.

I am so glad I caught this because I totally missed it as well. I thought we only needed to do a DB post this week. And yes, the directions say a 2 page paper. 2 pages isn't too bad, but I wasn't planning on a paper.

Between this class and my statistics class....I am spent, and ready for a break!! LESS THAN 2 WEEKS TO GO!!

Uh oh, I already posted my vulnerable people DB. Was there confusion about it? I have to say mine was really long and I apologize to those who will be reading it. I work with the homeless and other vulnerable people so I had a lot to say. I mentioned numerous resources within my area and touched on the strengths and limitations.

I am confused about this week's DB. Are we supposed to provide ALL the services available under ALL categories?

My county's Department of Social Services lists all the services available to the vulnerable populations - but there are pages and pages of services. And that doesn't even cover all of the services in my county (church communities, grass roots organziations etc.) - I just read someone else's post and it was only two paragraphs. Am I missing something?

After doing so many DB's in this class, a paper doesn't seem too bad. But I wonder if I will be dinged if it is over 2 pages. I have 2 1/2 pages not including references. I did my header page too so that makes 5 pages in all.

I would say 2 pages without references and cover, so you should be ok.

]If anyone else was confused about the vulnerable people assignment, I sent my TA this question

"In the overview for week four, it says that students will gain understanding of mentally ill, homeless, and immigant populations. The assignment says locate and veiw services for homeless, disabled, and domestic violence victims. The directions says to look up services on vulnerable populations.

I am unclear if we are to be general in our search and look for vulnerable populations as a whole, or are we to pick one of the areas mentioned, or are we to search info for all of them.

Please clarify."

This was her response

"][COLOR=black] you can use the homeless, disabled, or domestic violence victims. You can do all 3 if you wish

but only need to pick one. We used to have the assignment set up for only

homeless so we decided to broaden things a little and add the vulnerable

population. "

You are braver than me. WhenI took stats I was signed up to do Family, and I dropped Family, stats took all my time. Good luck with the next 2 weeks.

Our TA said that she will not take off if the paper is up to 3 pages, but if longer she will take points off.
