Discussions
The "Discussion page" of online classes takes the place of traditional
ground discussions.
After reading Chapter 9, "Personal Wellness," a ground class would probably define stress, discuss its and discuss the stress management strategies listed on pages 268 & 269. Students would probably be asked which stress management strategies work best for them....
An online class, however, would have the discussion online. The following cell typifies an online posting assignment:

Lesson 1:
Personal
Wellness
Objectives:
Lesson 1
Your
mind and body may seem like two independent parts, but research has
caused us to dismiss this idea and instead realize that the mind and
body work in sync. For example walking as a means of physical exercise
often helps the mind with thinking clearly. Nutrition, Stress, and
Mental Health are topics worth discussing for college students.
What are your ideas on maintaining a
healthy body and nurturing a healthy mind? For example, do you believe
stress is an everyday part of life or is it something that can be
avoided? How do you deal with it?
Depression is an illness that is more
and more common. Are you aware of the signs of depression? Are you or
anyone you know affected by it?
How do you take care of yourself with
all of your responsibilities? Do you have special tips to offer others
to "keep it together?"
Has going to college helped or hindered
your health? Do you tend to skip meals? Eat more? Sleep less?
Post your thoughts on any of the diverse
topics within the categories of nutrition, stress, and mental health.
Remember that a posting consists of at
least 3 full sentences. |
