Recent Courses Taught

Health Promotion.  IPH 331.

More Details:

I have developed this course that has as its objective to teach students to plan, implement, and evaluate health promotion programs. This goal is met through problem-based learning and group project work. I continue to revise the course; the emphasis this year was to continue to use statewide health statistics from the Michigan State Health Department and to use new government-based web sites to secure national health statistics. For case-study work, students were responsible for locating the health promotion literature that corresponded to their ongoing project topics and for presenting the information to the class.

 

Since 2010, Alma College has added new majors in anthropology, new media studies, biotechnology, health care administration and environmental studies. The College also has completed several campus enhancements, including the Hogan Center, Art Smith Arena, Eddy Music Center and College Corner Coffee and Books.
