Chapter Study Guides |
|
| |
Chapter Study Guides are designed to help you identify key concepts and prepare for the unit exams. The Chapter Study Guides are not required but I strongly recommend that you do the Chapter Study Guides. You may earn bonus points if you complete the Chapter Study Guides! Bonus points are added to the corresponding test score for each chapter.
In order to receive the bonus points, you will need to turn in the Chapter Study Guides either before or on the day that we cover the chapter as a lecture topic. This means you must read the chapter before I cover the material in class!
I know from experience that students who do the Chapter Study Guides receive better grades in the class. These students generally earn an “A” in the class. This should not surprise you. It is simply a function of “time on task” and coming to class prepared for the lectures.
Students who do the Chapter Study Guides are familiar with the topic(s) that will be covered in the lecture. If they read something in the text book while doing the study guide and don't understand the subject, then they know to ask a question during the lecture to clarify the topic.
By doing the Chapter Study Guides, you are prepared to participate in the class. This will make the classroom experience more rewarding for everybody, both the instructor and the students! |

| Health Topics |

The U.S. spends twice as much as other industrialized nations on health care, $8,160 per capita. Yet our system performs poorly in comparison and still leaves 50.7 million without health coverage and millions more inadequately covered. |
Greg Silver, MD |

This is because private insurance bureaucracy and paperwork consume one-third (31 percent) of every health care dollar. Streamlining payment through a single nonprofit payer would save more than $400 billion per year, enough to provide comprehensive, high-quality coverage for all Americans. (Visit PNHP's Web Site) |

| Sick Around the World / FrontLine |
|
| |
"In Sick Around the World, Frontline teams up with veteran Washington Post foreign correspondent T.R. Reid to find out how five other capitalist democracies --(United Kingdom, Japan, Germany, Taiwan and Switzerland) -- deliver health care, and what the United States might learn from their successes and their failures." April 15, 2008 This is a must see for anyone interested in health care. |
