Welcome Letter:

Welcome to HEED 204.  Over the next 9 weeks I will be your guide to exploring what constitutes health and understanding more about the process of your own personal health as well as that of our country.  You will find HEED 204 to be very educational but it is also challenging.  You are required to complete all course work and are more likely to be successful if you are organized and diligent in your study habits rather than simply being a good test taker.

Diversity Statement:

Inclusion, diversity, and equity are hallmarks of a safe, supportive, and educational classroom environment. Part of my objective for this course is to create the safe space that enables all students to engage openly, respectfully, and equally with their classmates, and their instructor, for their education. Please help me create this space with your own positive actions towards others as well.

Course Expectations:

Expect to complete 12+ hours of work on this course, weekly. Please see the course calendar for required weekly quizzes, assignment submissions, discussion forums, video presentations, course lectures, and the opportunity to review Power Point slides and complete reading assignments. My goal is to provide all required study materials to you, the student, at the beginning of the term and to have you complete them on a week by week basis.  You can work ahead in this course, but you can't fall behind.  Please recognize this is a goal and not a requirement of me. Be patient with the process as I am working as diligently and efficiently as I expect you are.  Additional details concerning the course can be found on the Syllabus.
