What would you say is the most unusual/obscure term in your subject area?

The most usual and obscure or difficult term could be , which in science, medicine, and other professions is used with rather different meanings and in different contexts. It is a good example of a polysemic term. The current edition of the dictionary offers more than 60 definitions of rate and related terms (e.g. , , and ). Some of such definitions have changed not only in the past 30 years, but in several of the six editions of the dictionary since 1983.

Welcome to class

Hello class and welcome to the class and I will be your instructor for this course. This is a -week course and requires a lot of time commitment, organization, and a high level of dedication. Please use the class syllabus to guide you through all the assignments required for the course. I have also attached the classroom policies to this announcement to know your expectations for this course. Please review this document carefully and ask me any questions if you do. You could email me at any time or send me a message via the “message” icon in halo if you need to contact me. I check my email regularly, so you should get a response within 24 hours. If you have not heard from me within 24 hours and need to contact me urgently, please send a follow up text to

I strongly encourage that you do not wait until the very last minute to complete your assignments. Your assignments in weeks 4 and 5 require early planning as you would need to present a teaching plan and interview a community health provider. I advise you look at the requirements for these assignments at the beginning of the course and plan accordingly. I have posted the YouTube link that explains all the class assignments in detail. It is required that you watch this 32-minute video as the assignments from week 3 through 5 require that you follow the instructions to the letter to succeed. Failure to complete these assignments according to instructions might lead to a zero. After watching the video, please schedule a one-on-one with me to discuss your topic for your project by the second week of class. Use this link to schedule a 15-minute session. Please, call me at the time of your appointment on my number. Please note that I will NOT call you.

Please, be advised I do NOT accept any assignments by email. If you are having technical issues with uploading an assignment, contact the technical department and inform me of the issue. If you have any issues that would prevent you from getting your assignments to me by the deadline, please inform me to request a possible extension. Note that working fulltime or overtime is no excuse for late assignments. There is a 5%-point deduction for every day your assignment is late. This only applies to approved extensions. Late assignments will not be accepted.

If you think you would be needing accommodations due to any reasons, please contact the appropriate department to request accommodations.

Plagiarism is highly prohibited. Please ensure you are citing your sources correctly using APA 7th edition. All assignments including discussion posts should be formatted in APA with the appropriate spacing, font, margin, and indents. Any papers not well formatted would be returned back to you, hence, I advise you review APA formatting style. I have attached a sample paper in APA format and will also post sample discussion responses in subsequent announcements.

Your initial discussion post should be a minimum of 200 words and response posts should be a minimum of 150 words. Be advised that I grade based on quality and not necessarily the number of words you post. A minimum of TWO references should be used for your initial post. For your response post, you do not need references as personal experiences would count as response posts. If you however cite anything from the literature for your response post, it is required that you cite your reference. You should include a minimum of THREE references for papers in this course. Please note that references should be no more than 5 years old except recommended as a resource for the class. Furthermore, for each discussion board question, you need ONE initial substantive response and TWO substantive responses to either your classmates or your instructor for a total of THREE responses. There are TWO discussion questions each week, hence, you need a total minimum of SIX discussion posts for each week. I usually post a discussion question each week. You could also respond to these as it would count towards your required SIX discussion posts for the week.

I understand this is a lot of information to cover in 5 weeks, however, the Bible says in Philippians 4:13 that we can do all things through Christ that strengthens us. Even in times like this, we are encouraged by God’s word that we have that ability in us to succeed with His strength. I pray that each and every one of you receives strength for this course and life generally as we navigate through this pandemic that is shaking our world today. Relax and enjoy the course!

Hi Class,

Please read through the following information on writing a Discussion question response and participation posts.

Contact me if you have any questions.

Important information on Writing a Discussion Question

• Your response needs to be a minimum of 150 words (not including your list of references)
• There needs to be at least TWO references with ONE being a peer reviewed professional journal article.
• Include in-text citations in your response
• Do not include quotes—instead summarize and paraphrase the information
• Follow APA-7th edition
• Points will be deducted if the above is not followed

Participation –replies to your classmates or instructor

• A minimum of 6 responses per week, on at least 3 days of the week.
• Each response needs at least ONE reference with citations—best if it is a peer reviewed journal article
• Each response needs to be at least 75 words in length (does not include your list of references)
• Responses need to be substantive by bringing information to the discussion or further enhance the discussion. Responses of “I agree” or “great post” does not count for the word count.
• Follow APA 7th edition
• Points will be deducted if the above is not followed

• Remember to use and follow APA-7th edition for all weekly assignments, discussion questions, and participation points.
• Here are some helpful links
• The is a great resource

What do you believe is the most common misunderstanding in your field?

Perhaps epidemiology exclusively investigates disease epidemics, despite the fact that it has long been demonstrated (and acknowledged by practically everyone in touch with science) that epidemiology analyzes all diseases.

a) researches the occurrence and distribution of any type of health-related event, state, or process in specific populations, including the study of the ‘determinants’ (biological, clinical, sanitary, sociocultural, and political) that influence such processes; and b) researches the occurrence and distribution of any type of health-related event, state, or process in specific populations, including the study of the ‘determinants’ (biological, clinical, sanitary, sociocultural, and political) that

b) it uses this information to address significant human health issues.

Many of us believe that today’s rigid ‘insular’ views of disciplines make little sense, either scientifically or socially; on the other hand, epidemiology and many other health, life, and social sciences connect and collaborate in amazing ways. Because of the porousness and fluidity of the disciplines, vast areas of the present scientific world are open and interconnected – considerably more creative, relevant, efficient, and intriguing.

Today, both ‘inside’ and ‘outside’ epidemiology, research methodologies with strong epidemiological foundations, dimensions, and qualities are successfully utilized. In the later decades of the twentieth century, there was a positive blurring of the boundaries of epidemiological research methods, such as the incorporation of population thinking and group comparison into clinical and public health research. It is particularly notable because this effect has spread to other scientific domains (e.g., ‘-omics’ disciplines). This growth of impact differs from what occurred as a result of clinical epidemiology and, later, evidence-based medicine (and today evidence-based health care). In clinical medicine, the hypotheses at stake are frequently quite different from those in, say, molecular biology or proteomics. Today, epidemiological thinking and reasoning continues to create new approaches, research designs, strategies of analysis, and ways to assess causality for such (micro)biological, clinical, and (macro)social disciplines, largely because of this ontological fact, because biotechnologies generate and drive different types and amounts of information and research, and for other reasons.

Which historical figure from your field would you most like to invite to a dinner party? What would you ask him/her if you had the chance?

She isn’t yet a part of history, but some of us believe she will be – or that she already is. She’s that young student or professional you know who excels at combining science and human impact, theoretical knowledge and practice, biological mechanisms and the clinical, social, and environmental dimensions of health, methodological rigor and creativity and relevance, moral courage, elegance, compassion, and political boldness… She also has a lot of fun on top of it all. ‘How come you have so much fun?’ I’d ask her, smiling.
