Gerontology summer 2013

Published

Anyone taking Gerontology summer semester? Any insight what I should expect? I just took Global Health and spent 25 hrs a week on a 3 credit hour course. Hoping for a whole lot less work.

Thank you all for your help. This group and board rocks! Nice fuzzy feeling when people are willing to help. NOW this first paper looks like a time consumer and worth 40 points,

My TA posted a nice suggestion announcement for the paper.

I'm struggling with the direction of this paper? I'm looking for ideas concerning connecting the QaPI and quality improvement?

I am with you healthlink97. I am going all over the place with this one. I can't seem to come up with a comprehensive theme.

Doesn't happen very often, but I'm completely lost with this week 1 paper.

I feel the same way. I had to cut a lot of stuff to fit everything into 5 pages. I think the week 2 paper is more clear and interesting. The funny thing is that 5 pages for week 1 worth only 30 points and 3-4 pages for week 2 worth 50 points.

Is it wrong that I'd be happy with a 15/30 on this first assignment?

I was just lost grasping for straws through this entire assignment. Probably one of the wost papers I've ever written. Although I felt that way on ever paper I wrote for 4510 and I did okay in that course. Week 2 seems more straightforward.

As an aside is your blackboard a mess too? There are like 2 or 3 of the same discussion boards for each week on mine. People are posting everywhere.
