Course Study: Classes

SPRING 2020 TERM - ONLINE

Listed below will be the classes that I will be taking for the Spring 2020 term at EOU.

IS 401 - CAPSTONE SEMINAR

This is the culminating course for the Integrative Studies program. This course applies the principles of integrative learning to complex questions through an exploration of theories and methods from two or more fields of study, and documents the student’s learning.

3 Credits

HWS 350 - BEHAVIOR CHANGE THEORY

The purpose of this course is to increase students’ understanding of the complex nature of human behavior; to provide students with information and experiences that will enhance listening and communication skills; and to provide students with basic strategies for facilitating changes in behavior that are conducive to health while recognizing professional limitations and the need for coordination with other health care professionals.

3 Credits

HWS 413 - HEALTH PROGRAM EVALUATIONS

This course will familiarize students to health promotion program evaluation, including needs assessment, formative research, process evaluation, monitoring of objectives and outputs, impact assessment, and cost analysis. Students will develop basic skills
in a variety of approaches to evaluation, including techniques that are particularly suitable for evaluating health promotion and community health improvement. Course learning will be synthesized through designing an evaluation framework and methodology for a relevant program. Students gain practical experience through a series of exercises involving the design of a conceptual framework, development of indicators, statistical analysis, and the development of an evaluation plan to measure impact.

3 Credits

GEOG 106 - PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY

An introduction to physical geography and its approach to the analysis and understanding of the physical environment. The course covers the atmosphere: weather and climate; the lithosphere: geomorphology, landforms and tectonics; the hydrosphere:
oceans and coastal environments; and the biosphere: ecosystems, biogeography, and biodiversity conservation.

5 Credits

HWS 317 - GLOBAL HEALTH

Today’s world has shrunk due to the ability of individuals to travel rapidly from place to place. This has created a world where health issues are no longer confined to a limited region, but can
potentially affect the entire planet. This course will examine global health issues, including historic impacts of advancing civilization on health, HIV/AIDS and the distribution of antiretroviral (ARVs),
Pandemic Flu and other infectious diseases such as malaria and tuberculosis, health care, chronic illness, and other issues.
