DescriptionThis course will meet the Health requirement for graduation and is designed to provide the same level of instruction that students receive during the school year. The health course will focus on eight major topics of concern today: nutrition, community, personal and environmental health, human anatomy, safety, and first aid (including CPR), mental health, drug abuse, and sexuality. Additional topics may be covered at the instructor’s discretion. Each subject is pursued with peer group reflection, when applicable, on the benefits of choosing a healthy lifestyle as well as the hazards of living a non-healthy lifestyle.
Students who take the summer course will be required to complete an equivalent of 60 hours of work to satisfy the semester requirement. The course will span eleven weeks from May 27th - August 8th. Students who take the summer online course are required to attend an on-campus orientation on the last day of semester exams, May 21st at 10:45 AM. A course syllabus will be provided at orientation.
Students are expected to successfully complete all course requirements by the last day of the course to receive credit for the course.
Please note: Students who will be out of town for more than two weeks should NOT take a summer course.
