Course Requirements

 

> Class Participation

Students are expected to complete required reading prior to the appropriate session. Students will be assessed on both active participation and listening throughout the duration of the course.

> Written Questions

Students are expected to generate five questions for each of the four guest lecture panels based on the required readings. Students will be assessed on their depth of understanding of the readings and their ability to create analytical questions to be used during guest lecture panels.

> Panel Moderation

Students will be assigned to small multi-disciplinary groups to moderate one of the four guest lecture panels. Groups are expected to work with the teaching assistant to combine individual written questions in an effort to facilitate the guest lecture panels. Students are also expected to moderate guest lecture panels by asking questions, helping to facilitate panel discussions and fielding additional questions of classmates.

> Poster Presentation

Students will be assigned to small multi-disciplinary groups to create visual and oral poster presentations. Groups are expected to create a poster presentation addressing an adolescent health concern using guidelines similar to those given at professional conferences. Groups are also expected to give a 10 minute oral presentation of their poster during the poster presentation session and be available to answer questions during the session. Individual students are expected to participate in small group discussion regarding material covered in posters immediately following the poster presentation session.

  • Clearly define the adolescent health concern.
  • Describe the magnitude of the adolescent health concern.
  • Utilize a conceptual framework to address the key determinates of the concern.
  • Employ evidence-based literature and use only primary sources as references.

The term paper can be any length as long as it meets the previous criteria and does not exceed 15 pages.
