Course Description: PRINCIPLES OF HEALTHFUL LIVING
(UC:CSU) 3 UNITS Prerequisite: None | Lecture 3 hours
Implements the World Health Organization’s definition of health that Health is the state of physical, mental and social well being, not merely the absence of disease.
Student Learning Outcomes : Upon completion of the course students will be able to:
· Identify and explain in writing the dimensions of health and how they relate to total wellness
· Analyze 'overall wellness' and what one can do to maintain and improve it
Expectations:
Attendance and Participation Policy
You will be expected to participate actively in class discussions and activities. It will be to your advantage to log in to the class website at least 3-4 times a week to check on discussions and to work on activities. If you will be traveling or otherwise unable to access the class website for a period of more than a few days, drop me a note and let me know so that I won't wonder where you disappeared to!
Office Hours
I maintain virtual office hours: Wednesdays from 1:00-2:00 P.M. This means you can reach me using your computer and a telephone at this time. Here is where you can get a response a little more quickly. Typically I will respond within 24-48 hours to most questions. To access the virtual office hours you go to www.cccconfer.org and log in. I have created a link under the Communication Tools to take you there directly. There is also a document I created titled "How to Use Virtual Office Hours." This document is listed under Important Class Documents and will give you directions on how to use the virual office hours
Contact Instructor
If you are going to have serious problems that prevents you from completing assignment or quiz on time, you must let me know PRIOR to missing the assignment. I prefer you send me email to: <font color="#3f87f3">heubanks@sierracollege.edu.
Dropping the Class
Circumstances may arise that will keep you from completing the course. If this is the case, drop the class. As a policy, I do not exclude students.
