materials will be made available within the Canvas course

module for which they are assigned.

WHY IS HSC 4713 A MUST? The ability to plan, implement, and evaluate programs is

essential for health education specialists at all levels. Toward

this end, the purpose of HSC 4713 is to provide you with the

necessary comprehensive background and application

HSC 4713, Section 14466 (UFO) Spring 2020

2

information needed to plan, implement, and evaluate health

promotion programs in a variety of settings and populations.

Moreover, HSC 4713 is one of three required internship

preparation courses in the Health Education and Behavior

degree program. Past students who have done well in this

course have gone on to secure highly coveted internship

positions.

INSTRUCTIONAL METHODS: This online course has been designated a

“High-Quality Course” by UF + Quality

Matters program for its use of a variety of

learning modalities – lectures, applied

activities and discussions, and exams –

receiving 143 out of a total 149 points in a

quality review of instructional methods and

materials. You should use your Canvas account to access course

materials (http://elearning.ufl.edu/).

COURSE POLICIES

TECHNOLOGY: This online course uses the Canvas course management system, which employs

several tools to facilitate both individual and group communication within the course, as well as

manage the submission and grading of assignments. You are expected to be proficient in

working in Canvas. Several video tutorials on how to use the various tools within Canvas are

available for viewing through the Help Center in Canvas. Note: Links to video tutorials also are

available in the Start Here module of the course website. You are encouraged to become

familiar with the Canvas course tools to ensure the best experience possible from this online

course. Note: Faulty Internet connections will not be accepted as an excuse for any missed

assignments, activities, and/or exams. Nevertheless, if a technical problem does occur that

prevents you from timely submission of an assignment, you should first contact the UF Help

Desk at 352-392-4357, [email protected], or https://lss.at.ufl.edu/help.shtml. Any

requests for makeups due to technical issues must be accompanied by the ticket number and

the message resolution (email) received from LSS when the problem was reported. The ticket

number will document the time and date of the problem. You must contact me within 24 hours

of the technical difficulty if you wish to request a makeup.

COMMUNICATIONS: You should make a point to regularly check for course-related notices via

the Announcement tool on the Canvas course website. To “regularly check” means as often as

possible, typically at least two times a week. If you fail to keep up with posted Announcements,

you risk missing important information related to the course, including possible changes in

assignment due dates.

As many of you may have the same or similar questions, for example, how to access

assignments or PowerPoints that appear to be locked, please use the designated Course

Questions Discussion forum for all class-related questions. I will respond as needed within 24

hours on weekdays and 48 hours on weekends. I also strongly encourage you to read and

respond to these questions, as appropriate. By doing so, you can help each other troubleshoot

and resolve problems. Note: Don’t be shy about asking questions in this forum. If you have a

question, chances are that one or more of your classmates may be wondering the same thing!

For personal communication outside of meeting with me in office hours, you should send

messages using the Inbox tool on the Canvas course management system. Appropriate personal

communication with me includes to ask questions related to grades and missed assignments, as

well as to inform me of an emergency that may prevent you from submitting assignments in a

timely manner. Email inquiries received Mondays through Fridays will usually receive a reply

within 24 hours of receipt. Messages sent after 4 p.m. on Fridays and/or during the weekends

will most likely receive a reply the following Monday. Note: If you send messages directly to my

UF email address ([email protected]), you may have a longer wait for a response because of

the high number of emails I receive in my UF Inbox.

Inappropriate emails or messages that lack proper etiquette and/or a subject heading will be

returned with a suggestion to revise and re-send. Note: All messages should include an

appropriate subject line/heading. Messages without a proper subject line may not receive a

response because they can be easily overlooked, or may go to a Spam/Junk folder.

RECOMMENDATIONS: I will consider preparing recommendations for graduate programs,

professional schools, internships, scholarships, and jobs if and only if you meet the following

requirements:

You are willing to waive your right to review the letter of recommendation.

You make your recommendation request in person* at least two weeks before the

submission deadline if I have written a letter for you in the past OR at least four weeks

in advance of the letter submission deadline if this is the first time you have requested

a letter from me. *Note: If you are an online student, you should request your letter in

a personal phone call to me during office hours.

Additionally, you should be prepared to provide the following information when making a

request for a letter:

The deadline for submission.

A copy of your résumé or CV and an unofficial transcript.

If you have taken a class with me, the semester and the grade that you earned.

To ensure we cover all the bases, a version of a reference letter that you write in the

third person. I will then adapt and rewrite to my style. Include what it is you are

applying for and why you’re a good fit for the position. Summarize why your background



4

has prepared you well for the position you are applying for. Include any information

about qualifications and experience you think might be helpful. For example, if you are

applying to nursing school or a graduate program, describe what interests you about

nursing or the graduate program.

Finally, you must meet with me in person* to discuss your interests when you ask for a

letter. *Note: If you are an online student, you may meet with me by phone during

office hours.

ALLOWABLE LATE ASSIGNMENTS AND MAKEUPS: All assignments should be submitted by or

before the time and date listed in the Course Syllabus. Nonetheless, I recognize that life happens

and challenges may arise that prevent you from completing an assignment on time. In these

rare instances, you may (no guarantee) be given an opportunity to submit after the deadline

only after you provide an acceptable, University-approved reason with proper documentation

for missing the deadline. Among the reasons missed assignments may be considered excused

by the University are the following:

Participation in an activity appearing on the University authorized list

Death or major illness in a student’s immediate family (mother, father, sister, brother,

etc.)

Illness of a dependent family member

Participation in legal proceedings or administrative procedure that require a student’s

presence

Observance of religious holy day

If an emergency arises that causes you to miss an assignment deadline or an exam, you must

contact me within 24 hours of the missed deadline and provide formal documentation of the

reason by email within 48 hours so that you may have an opportunity to make up what was

missed. I encourage you to communicate with me immediately if you miss a submission

deadline, or beforehand if you know that you will be unable to meet a submission deadline. The

longer you wait to communicate a difficulty, the less likely a makeup will be possible. Decisions

to allow makeups will be made by me after consulting the university-wide attendance policies

specified in the UF Undergraduate Catalog (https://catalog.ufl.edu/UGRD/academic-

regulations/attendance-policies/) and in accordance with course policies in this syllabus.

EXAMS: All exams in this course are time-limited and open book, open notes. You are

responsible for completing all exams by the stated time and due date listed in the Course

Syllabus. Thus, you must take the exams before the stated deadlines to receive credit. If you are

taking an exam when the due date passes, your score up to that point of deadline will be

automatically submitted – regardless of whether the exam is completed – and the grade

recorded only for the completed portion. Therefore, you should arrange to complete your

exams with ample time before the stated deadline time and date. Note: Except for medical or

immediate family emergencies, no makeups of exams are allowed. Any student with an

acceptable excuse and appropriate documentation who misses a regularly scheduled exam

https://catalog.ufl.edu/UGRD/academic-regulations/attendance-policies/

https://catalog.ufl.edu/UGRD/academic-regulations/attendance-policies/


5

will be given a cumulative makeup exam during finals week. The cumulative makeup exam

may not be used to substitute for a low score on one of the regularly scheduled exams. The

cumulative makeup exam is strictly for those students with documented, approved absences

for one of the three regularly scheduled exams.

QUESTIONS ON EXAMS: All inquiries regarding exam questions will be fielded following the

initial grading of each assessment. Note: The initial grading of assessments takes place

immediately after your completion of the exam, before the assessment closes for all students.

If you have questions about specific exam questions, you should:

(1) Describe your concern(s) in writing to include any justification and/or documentation

(from lecture and/or readings) to support your concern.

(2) Formally submit your inquiry to me in a message using the Canvas Inbox tool.

You must send an email with any specific exam-related questions within 24 hours of

completing the exam. I will evaluate the validity of each concern and take appropriate action as

needed (e.g., send a written response of clarification, modify the grade if the inquiry is found to

have merit). Also note: A message simply stating that you have a concern without a valid

reason or support will not be sufficient to merit a review. You must demonstrate that you have

an understanding of the concern in question to receive consideration (e.g., page number of

textbook or slide number from video lecture and a statement of your understanding of the

material). Please also know that exam questions are randomized, meaning the order of exam

questions is not the same for all students. Thus, you should provide the full text of the question

when expressing concerns and not simply give a question number. A screenshot of the

question is not acceptable. Never post a question on exams to the Course Questions Discussion

Forum.

COURSE GRADING AND ASSIGNMENT POLICIES

GOALS AND OBJECTIVES: The goal of HSC 4713 is for you to demonstrate high-level

understanding of the frameworks, principles, and strategies for planning, implementing, and

evaluating health promotion programs through activities designed to promote critical thinking

needed for the development of an effective and feasible health education/health promotion

program. By the end of this course, you will be able to:

1. Identify the determinants of health outcomes and the ecological factors that influence

behavior.

2. Identify components of several comprehensive planning models.

3. Assess components of a program rationale and identify areas for improvement.

4. Write a program rationale for a program plan.

5. Analyze secondary data sets to identify a community need.

6. Demonstrate the steps in conducting a needs assessment.

7. Demonstrate how to incorporate health behavior theory into the planning process.


6

8. Construct realistic and measurable program goals and objectives.

9. Identify advantages and disadvantages of using multiple strategies for reaching and

facilitating participation among priority populations.

10. Identify community and health education planning resources.

11. Explain the elements for marketing a health education/promotion plan.

12. Address ethical, safety, medical, and legal concerns associated with program planning

and implementation.

13. Differentiate between the types of evaluation outcomes and evaluation methods and

strategies and the ways to the evaluation.

14. Create a program plan using a logic model to demonstrate mastery of principles of

planning, implementing, and evaluating health promotion programs.

YOUR SUCCESS DEFINED: Online learning can present significant challenges, particularly to

individuals who are not self-starters or those who do not possess good time-management skills.

The online classroom is available 24 hours a day. Unlike traditional instructional settings in

which each student gets the same class, the online setting means that every student will

participate in the course that he/she chooses to experience. In theory, this type of instruction

should be more adaptable to a variety of learning styles. However, in practice, some students

seem unwilling (all are believed to be able) to create and actively take part in their own virtual

classroom. This often results in procrastination and low-quality performance. Everyone learns

differently, so prescribing a “best” approach is difficult.

Still, you should note that this course is not self-paced. You are expected to adhere to the

course calendar and timeline. All assignment submissions must be turned in on or before the

scheduled date and time, as specified in the Course Syllabus. All assignments are to be

completed and submitted by individual students – no group work is allowed. You should not

submit the work of another person – student or otherwise – at any time for any reason. No

excuses for late submissions based on computer or Internet access issues or errors in uploading

assignments will be accepted. Note: Before you come to me with any excuses, please be

advised that I am able to track your course activity – for example, time and date of course

logins; time spent on the course website, including length of time spent on each course

module; and number of times you view assignments and module materials, including lectures.

Moreover, if you understand and perform the following actions, you have the most potential for

achieving success in HSC 4713:

1. Ensure you have reliable high-speed Internet access.

2. Use a word processor when posting discussions and other assignments instead of typing

them directly into the course website. This will enable you to save your work in case of

any unexpected technical glitches. You also will be able to use the spelling and grammar

checkers before you submit your work. Note: Some assignments in this course require

the use of Microsoft Word document (.doc or .docx). Submissions made with other

tools such as Google docs will not be accepted. UF offers students steep discounts on


7

Microsoft products, including Word. Contact the UF Computing Help Desk for

additional information.

3. Be an active participant in class discussions and activities. Take notes on each resource

and refer to them when completing your assignments and discussions. This course is

one of the foundational courses for your required internship in the Department of

Health Education and Behavior. Your notes will be helpful not only in completing your

assignments but also as you encounter these topics in the future.

4. Keep up; it’s easy to ignore online course requirements until it’s too late. Make a

notation in your calendar of all assignment deadlines to be sure that you don’t overlook

an assignment.

5. Plan to spend at least five to seven hours a week on this course. Schedule time to work

on your course(s). Be sure this is a time in which you can work without interruptions.

Check in to the course website at least two times a week.

6. Complete assigned textbook readings before a module opens and view lectures as soon

as a module opens. In doing so, you will be familiar with the material and better able to

contribute to discussions and complete activities.

7. Strive to make assignments meaningful and relevant to your context.

8. Inform me whenever a problem related to the course arises, whenever you feel the

need to clarify questions, or whenever you desire to further explore the topics of

particular interest.

9. Respect my viewpoints and contributions, as well as those of your fellow classmates.

Note: Be sure to read the Netiquette guidelines in the Start Here module of the Canvas

course website.

Note: HSC 4713 is one of three required internship preparation courses in the Health Education

and Behavior degree program. Students who do well in this course typically go on to secure

highly coveted internship positions. The course is rigorous out of necessity to meet

departmental internship and accreditation standards. You are encouraged to keep this

necessary rigor in mind when balancing your course loads against work and family

obligations.

ASSIGNED WORK: You are expected to do your own original and best work. The grade at the

end of the semester is the one you have earned. No extra credit opportunities, additional

assignments or opportunities to revise assignments will be provided.

All assignments are due at the times and dates listed in the Course Schedule. If you experience a

technical issue submitting your assignment, you must contact the Help Desk (see “Technology”

under Course Policies heading). Activity assignments are accepted within 24 hours of their due

date. Late activity assignments will incur a 50% deduction in points earned on the activity. No

late submissions of exams or discussion assignments are accepted. Late exams and discussion

assignments will receive a zero (“0”) in the gradebook.


8

Except for medical or immediate family emergencies, no makeups or late assignments (beyond

24 hours for activities) will be allowed. Proper documentation is required in the case of medical

or family emergencies. Documentation should be given in a timely manner for consideration of

makeups or late submissions. “Timely” will be defined by the nature of the circumstances and

the ability to obtain appropriate documentation given the circumstances. Note: See additional

information under “Allowable Late Assignments and Makeups” heading under Course Policies.

Detailed descriptions and instructions for each course assignment may be found under the

Assignments tab on the Canvas course website. Note: You should review all assignments as

soon as modules open to ensure you understand all instructions and requirements for each

assignment. If you have questions about any assignment, you should post to the Course

Questions Discussion Forum. The following table gives a brief overview of assignments on which

course grades will be determined:

Breakdown of Assigned Work (Weighted Assignment Groups)

Assignment Groups % of Final Grade

Activities (5 at varying points) 20%

Discussions (5 at 10 points each) 15%

Quizzes (2 exams, 1 Syllabus Quiz) 10%

Final Project (Skills Mastery: Logic Model, peer review) 55%

Total 100%

GRADING SCALE: Assignment of final course grades will be made based on the scale that

follows. No extra credit assignments or points will be given in this course. That means that if, at

the end of the term, your final course percentage totals 89.99999999999, your grade equals a

“B+” for the semester.

Final Grading Scale (Percentage)

A 100.0-92.0 B+ 89.9-88.0 C+ 79.9-78.0 D+ 69.9-68.0

A- 91.9-90.0 B 87.9-82.0 C 77.9-73.0 D 67.9-62.0

B- 81.9-80.0 C- 72.9-70.0 D- 61.9-60.0

E 59.9-00.0

GRADING DISPUTES: If you believe an error has been made in the grading of an assignment, you

should (1) review the assignment instructions and rubric carefully, and then (2) check relevant

policies on the syllabus. After doing these two things and you still believe an error has been

made, you should (1) state the problem in detail in writing and (2) follow up with me during

office hours. Note: You are expected to review my feedback given on each assignment within

24 hours of the return of an assignment. If a grade input error occurs, you should notify me

immediately. I will examine the Canvas grade to determine whether a calculation error has

occurred. If an error occurred, the grade will be adjusted accordingly.

GRADE ADJUSTMENTS: It is unethical and in direct violation of the UF Student Honor Code to

request an unjustifiable grade adjustment (UF Student Honor Code: “Conspiracy to Commit

Academic Dishonesty”). Examples of unjustifiable grade adjustments include requests for extra


9

credit, to revise and resubmit assignments, and to round up grades. Under no circumstances

will I ever “round up” a student’s grade, nor will I offer extra credit or allow an assignment do-

over.

If you have questions following the posting of final course grades at the end of the term, you

should present your concerns in person or by phone during finals week or at the beginning of

the next semester, as appropriate. I will not respond to emails regarding final grades. Note: As

stated earlier, you are expected to review each returned assignment immediately and bring

any concerns to my attention within 24 hours of release of the returned assignments. No

grades will be reviewed after that 24-hour period.

COURSE SCHEDULE

ACTIVITIES: Course activities are designed to apply and/or reinforce skills and

knowledge required of health education specialists working in the field

of health education and promotion. The points for these activities will

vary, depending on the amount of work required for the completion of

each activity, with all activities accounting for 20 percent of your final

grade. Due dates for each activity are final. Activities submitted within

24 hours of their due date will incur a 50% deduction in points earned

on the activity. No submission will be accepted after the 24-hour grace

period and will receive a zero (0) in the gradebook. No late or makeup

assignments will be accepted without appropriate documentation of a

medical or family emergency. The deadline for Activities is 11:55 p.m.

on the due date listed in the course schedule.

DISCUSSIONS: Course discussions are key to being an active participant in this course.

You are expected to engage in discussions by responding to specific

prompts and giving feedback on posts made by your classmates. Posts

should be thoughtful and not simply a restatement of what was read. In

other words, use critical thinking skills and cite course material and/or

readings when developing personal posts. Additionally, a thoughtful

response to at least one (1) of your class peers is required. Note: A

thoughtful response is one that goes beyond simple “I agree” or “I

disagree” statements. My advice in responding to peers is to treat your

response as if you were speaking in class to help advance the

discussions and not repeat what your peer or you have already said.

Original discussion posts are due at 11:55 p.m. Sunday, with peer replies

to the original posts due at 11:55 p.m. the next day on Monday.

Although discussion forums remain open past the due date of the

original posts to allow for peer replies to original discussion posts, any

student who posts an original discussion after the Sunday deadline

will receive a zero (0) in the grade book for that portion of the


10

assignment. Additionally, any student who fails to post peer replies by

the Monday deadline will receive zeros (0s) in the grade book. No late

assignments will be accepted without appropriate documentation of a

medical or family emergency. All deadlines for posting and responding

to discussion prompts must be followed to receive credit for the

discussions. Discussions account for 15 percent of your final grade.

QUIZZES: This course comprises a syllabus quiz and two open-note, open-book

exams, accounting for 10 percent of your final grade. Exam 1 will cover

material presented in the Introduction Module and Modules 1-4 (Chs 1-

5) and Exam 2, Modules 5-7 (Chs 6-9). The exams may consist of essay,

short-answer, matching, multiple-choice, and/or true-false questions.

Exam questions may be adapted from module activities and discussions.

The learning objectives provided in each module are useful as study

guides for the exams.

Exams will open at 6 a.m. on Thursday of the week in which the exam is

scheduled and close promptly at 11:55 p.m. on Friday of that same

week. Note: This is a 36-hour open window. You will have 75 minutes

to complete each exam. You must complete each exam by 11:55 p.m.

on the Friday of the week the exam opens to avoid the timed exam

window closing. This means you should plan to begin each exam no

later than 10:30 p.m. Friday to ensure that you will have ample time to

complete the exam before it closes.

FINAL PROJECT: You are expected to demonstrate your knowledge of the principles and

frameworks used in planning, implementing, and evaluating health

promotion programs in an applied end-of-term activity that entails the

development of a logic model for the creation of an intervention to

address a specific health issue. For this Skills Mastery activity, you will

be assigned a health topic on which you will create a logic model that

demonstrates your mastery of the complex process of planning and

evaluating health education programs. Additionally, you will be required

to provide a peer review of one of your classmates’ logic models. Note:

This assignment accounts for 55 percent of your final grade and is an

assessment of your skills mastery. The expectation is that you will put

forth your best effort so that you fully comprehend the principles of

planning, implementing, and evaluating health promotion programs.

If you are eligible for graduation with Honors, you may wish to

consider this assignment for inclusion in an Honors portfolio as a

demonstration of your proficiency and professionalism as a health

educator. I would be happy to serve as chair of your Honors portfolio

committee if you are actively involved with the course and you make


11

an effort to engage with me during office hours throughout the

semester.

COURSE OUTLINE: The course outline that follows represents my current plans and

objectives. As the semester progresses, those plans may need to change

either because of unforeseen circumstances or to enhance the class

learning opportunity. Such changes, communicated clearly, are not

unusual and should be expected.

Also note that assignment due dates are posted in many places

throughout the Canvas course site, i.e., Syllabus tab, Assignment tab,

and Canvas Calendar. Before sending a private email to ask about an

assignment deadline, please take the time to search for answers

yourself. If you are unable to locate a specific deadline, then you should

post a question to the Course Questions Discussion forum before

sending me a private email.

the Dean of Students Office (DSO) (http://www.dso.ufl.edu/drc/). The DSO will provide

documentation to the student who must then give this documentation to the instructor when

requesting accommodation. Students must submit their documentation to the instructor before

turning in assignments or taking exams. Accommodations are not retroactive; therefore,

students should contact the DSO as soon as possible in the term for which they are seeking

accommodations. UF has zero tolerance for sexual discrimination, harassment, assault/battery,

dating violence, domestic violence, or stalking. Students are encouraged to report any

experienced or witnessed occurrences to law enforcement and/or one of UF’s Title IX

Coordinators. Students can report incidents or learn more about their rights and options by

contacting Student Conduct and Conflict Resolution at 202 Peabody Hall, 352-392-1261, or visit

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

1. Do I need to watch the lectures? YES. Quiz and exam questions may be taken straight from lectures that may or may not be highlighted on the PPT slides. Quiz and exam questions are derived from the textbook, PowerPoint slides, and lectures. Viewing lectures, reviewing PowerPoint slides, and critically reading the assigned chapters is encouraged.

2. Do I need to read the textbook? YES, you need to read the textbook. As noted in the response to Question 1, quiz and exam questions may be taken from the textbook. Thus, critically reading assigned chapters should help you in completing assignments to include the quizzes and exams.

3. Do I need to comply with the course schedule or can I work ahead? Modules are set to open on Sunday of each week in the semester and close on the following Saturday. The Welcome and Course Introduction Module and Module 1 will open the first week of the term, with one module opening weekly beginning in the second week. This means that you may work one module ahead of the recommended timeline on the syllabus. However, please note that all quizzes, discussions, activities and exams must be completed by the date and time listed on the syllabus and course website. I believe that the recommended course schedule will keep you on a reasonable pace to successfully complete the course (i.e., not too fast and not too slow).

4. What will the exams look like? The exams are multiple choice, true/false, matching, and short answer. You may use your textbook and notes in completing the exams. However, the exams are timed (75 minutes) and will automatically submit once the 75 minutes are up. If you fail to complete the exam in the allotted time frame, your score up to the end of time will be recorded in the gradebook. You are NOT permitted to work with your classmates or share questions/answers during/after the completion of your exams.

5. Will you provide a study guide for the exams? The exams are open book/open notes; thus, a study guide will not be provided for each exam. Please remember that everything you will need to succeed has been made available to you on the course website. Please note that exam questions will come from the video lectures and material from the textbook (not just the bulleted material on the PowerPoint slides that accompany the video lectures).

6. Will extra credit opportunities be available? No opportunities for extra credit are available in this course. To ask for an opportunity for extra credit or to revise an assignment is a violation of the UF Honor Code.

7. Can I still submit an assignment if I miss the submission deadline? With the exception of discussions and exams, you may submit an activity up to 24 hours after the submission deadline. A 50% grade deduction will be assessed on any activity submission made within the 24-hour grace period. Thus, you should strive to submit all of your by or before the stated deadline to avoid a late submission penalty.
