Personal and Community Health Welcome to Personal and Community Health offered online through Illinois Valley Community College Distance Learning. I am your instructor, Julie Sherbeyn, and am very excited for this opportunity to increase your health awareness through this innovative medium. The goal of this course is to encourage you to consider your personal health behaviors relative to current health information. You will have the opportunity to evaluate your current lifestyle and identify alternative options to improve your overall wellness. This a fast-paced sixteen-week course with no classroom meetings; therefore, it is imperative you are aware of the course requirements and corresponding timeline. This course is totally asynchronous (on your own) to allow for flexibility in your personal schedule while earning college credit. Content: The course consists of utilizing the text, taking chapter quizzes and unit exams, and completing assigned labs. (Please see the Course Timeline for an outline of course content and corresponding deadlines.) You are required to contact the instructor at the beginning of the course to confirm expectations (please refer to Instructor Contact Information). You must include your full name and course number (HPE 1003-100) in the subject line of all email contact with your instructor. You will not receive any response and your concerns will NOT be addressed if the appropriate format is not followed. Contact the instructor with a valid email account after you: register for the class through IVCC. obtain your class materials. self-enroll in the course within Blackboard (see instructions below).

QuizzesAfter comprehensive study of each chapter, you will complete a ten point multiple choice quiz. The quizzes are located in Blackboard under Course Documents and are available beginning Thursday, January 15. There are deadlines for completing each quiz, therefore you will not be awarded a grade if you fail to meet the mandatory timeline (see the Course Timeline). There will be absolutely no make-ups allowed on quizzes. You can work ahead, so plan according to your schedule to complete assessments before deadlines and avoid receiving zeros. You will have fifteen minutes to complete each quiz; after which, it will be scored and your results posted immediately. I have allowed for multiple opportunities to take the quizzes for Chapters 1 through 5 to enable you to get used to testing online and to maximize your points for those quizzes. However, you will have only one opportunity to complete the quizzes for Chapters 6 through 17. It is imperative that you have a thorough grasp of the information prior to taking each quiz as the fifteen-minute time restriction will not allow time to look up answers during the quiz. Once you open a quiz online, you must complete the assessment in its entirety or a grade will not be scored for the attempt. No extensions or make-ups will be allowed for quizzes, however, two of your lowest quiz scores will be dropped at the end of the course. Exams There are five, forty-point tests consisting of multiple choice, short answer, and essay questions. The tests cover the textbook material from the designated chapters and the corresponding video segments; therefore, I suggest taking notes while thoroughly studying the material. Each test is of equal weight in determining your final grade. The tests are moderately difficult college-level exams. There are deadlines for completing each exam, therefore you will not be awarded a grade if you fail to meet the mandatory timeline (see the Course Timeline). There will be absolutely no make-ups allowed on exams. You can work ahead, so plan according to your schedule to complete assessments before deadlines and avoid receiving zeros. You will have fifty minutes to complete each exam. Your score will be available after the instructor has had adequate opportunity to review your exam. Again, tests must be taken according to the deadlines listed in the Course Timeline to avoid receiving a zero for the exam.
Lab AssignmentsYou have five assigned labs located in the back of your text or online at: http://highered.mcgraw-hill.com/sites/0073404616/student_view0/index.html. Click on the appropriate chapter and then on “Labs (Add It Up)”. All labs are due in the instructor’s office on or before Friday, August 7.

No grades will be awarded for late assignments, so you may want to turn in assignments early to avoid last minute emergencies including possible technology failures. Withdrawal Policy: If you find you are unable to continue this class, YOU must contact the instructor to complete the necessary paper work. If you stop participating in the class and don't officially withdraw, you may receive an "F" at the end of the semester.

This will include students who are not meeting time requirements for the course.

Notice that multiple assignments may be due on one day. I suggest you are active in the class daily to keep up with all required timelines and grading opportunities. Again, if any assigned deadline is missed, no points will be awarded for that grading opportunity. Course Timeline Textbook Chapters Assignments Time Requirements
