Health Course Reflection

If I were to describe this course to a friend I would say this class is more than what anyone expects and is extremely eye-opening. It is not like a normal studies class, where it has boring content. It has content that is insightful and allows you to really think about the issues at hand. I would encourage a friend to take it because it is not only a fun class but very informative. I would prepare them for the reality of this class. This class does not just touch the surface of issues we have in society, but it goes much deeper.

I liked everything about this course. The seminars, study plans, and the weekly discussions help

In summary, this course has really educated my view of being a teacher as well as being able to interact with today’s diverse and fluctuating educational setting. Therefore, the discussions were very good ways in understanding how

I believe this course is going to be an enrinched experience for us all. Good job to us all for taking the steps in adding another degree to our walls or desks in order to accomplish our career goals. I  understand this is a large but I do hope to speak, even better, network with the majority of you. I wish you all the best on your educational voyage.

In order to answer this question, I am firstly going to describe, in detail, the Biomedical and Social Models of Health. The 2 approaches are very different, and from a caring perspective, are both as important as one another when putting a care plan in place for service users such as Trevor .

We feel it is important that students come together and have their voices heard, in the midst of setbacks within class. We have come together to highlight the benefits and challenges we have faced in this course. Although we acknowledge the negative experiences faced by our peers, we feel the need to also share our point of view. We acknowledge that many of our peers have felt ridiculed in the classroom, however we feel it was a matter of constructive criticism.

From day one, I noticed the relative ease of the course. The two friendly instructors welcomed the entire class, and they presented the material in a simple and comprehensible manner. My seven classmates and I bonded immediately. I recall

I think what I enjoyed the most about this course was the fact that I got to learn about all of the different factors that impact or are relevant in order to really understand diversity. I also founded interesting how much understanding this concept really affects your life and those that surround you. I really also enjoyed how we were able to comment on each other’s post, and give our own opinion or feedback on the discussion of the week. I think that this was a great idea because we saw who had similar points of views, who agreed or disagree and some even gave us some words of encouragement. It was just good to communicate with others on the topics of discussion for the week, and after all it was necessary since the main focus of this course

As part of the year 10-health studies class, in the last unit, the class has made a recommendation to improve the situation related to the health issues. In the present unit it is required to implement an issue. As a class one environment that the class has in common is Macgregor SHS. Assigned to groups of 5, the members are to identify a health problem within the physical environment. The physical environment affects one’s health because it can facilitate or discourage interactions and may subsequent benefits of social support. An example is that an inviting environment around the school would encourage more students to enjoy and have comfort around the area. Another reason why it can affect student’s health is it could be an influencing factor

I personally have enjoyed this course. I was very nervous the first few months trying to make sure I didn’t miss any assignments and understood the reading material. I learn a lot about inequality, social injustice, social structure, social identity, and how to view things through a sociological perspective. This course has prepared me to observe various issue in society in a whole different way. We must educate ourselves about our history to know the differences, if not we will become a product of our environment. Therefore, “it’s easy to slide into the belief that things have always been the way we’ve known them to be” (Rosenblum & Travis, 2012, P.503).

For the most part I enjoyed my time spent in that course. I definitely plan on attending future screenings, as a community member. However, I do feel that the course has some room for improvement. My first suggestion would be opening to the public at a later time because it was distracting having other people in the room, holding conversations, while you were giving us feedback or instructions on assignments. Another suggestion would be possibly providing your students with examples of “A” worthy reflections because half of the time did not know what you were expecting of us and anything that came to mind while writing these critiques sounded like a research paper. In addition to examples of well written reflections, adding more detailed comments

Overall, I see myself doing well in this program, however there are some areas that I need to improve upon. I anticipate some challenges in organizing, structuring long documents and critical thinking. The idea of having time to sit for a period of time to focus on my writing is difficult. Most of the time I have a wealth of ideas but I need to organize them in a cohesive outline. If I rush through an assignment, I make too many mistakes and that is frustrating. My approach to tackling frustration is to start early. Finishing early allows me the time to go back and check my work. This also works to my benefit because I will stay up late and put in many hours to make sure my work is correct. My philosophy, when it comes to education,

As I mentioned previously, I expected more out of it but I was able to learn an abundance of techniques on how to work with others. I also learned about my flaws and strengths when working in a group. As for professor Glumac, I would suggest using Blackboard. The constant printing and “turning in” process was very high school to me and paperless trails just work best, in my opinion. Also, often times the lectures were a bit of bore, staying awake was troubling most times. Since the class was three hours long, I feel as though more media could have been incorporated to fill the time instead of reading or stretching out presentations. This is a great class for those who want to work with people in the future, I would it suggest to those seeking any classes that relates to communication but for me it was not that

I would describe the dynamics that I observed from the class on Wednesday mornings as informative, educational, and very enjoyable to learn about others. I noticed that at the beginning of the semester everyone was at the Group sessions, but the further we got into the semester, the class started to get smaller and smaller.

In this week’s assignment we as a group, were to watch the two videos “Planning a Playground” and “Politics of Sociology”, discuss them as a group and write a summary. Being that this is my first online class that I have had to work with a group in I was very nervous about it. When doing discussions online, without prior physically meeting and getting to know one another, things can always take a turn that is not intended or needed. My team/group was great! Not only was the intent of our discussion clear but I also liked how we all posed questions within our discussions that made you really think. We challenged and
