Assignments for the Week

  1. Take quiz in D2L (open Monday, Sept 22 @ 12:01 until Sunday, Sept 28 @ Midnight).  The quiz will cover Chapter 13 and concepts presented this week on protecting yourself. 
  2. Complete the Lifescan Question Set Page. Due Monday, Oct. 6 at noon.  Staple a cover page to the analysis and the computer print out of the results and submit it to THE BOX.

    Students will complete the Health Risk Analysis tool, "Lifescan," for another adult 20-30 years older. If the student is forty or older, they can do a peer, spouse, or parent. The assignment consists of 1) conducting a Lifescan assessment on the chosen subject, 2) printing out the results, and 3) TYPING a two-page paper that includes the following:

    • Before giving the subject the questionnaire, ask them what they believe a) might be their likely cause(s) of death and why, b) are behaviors that might increase their chance of dying of those causes, and c) are protective behaviors might decrease their chances of death from those causes.
    • Complete the Lifescan assessment with the subject. If you and the subject can sit at a computer together, then you can complete the assessment directly on the Lifescan website. If you will be talking to the subject on the phone or will not have access to a computer when you do the assessment, you can print out the questions before you meet with your subject. You can ask the subject to provide you with the answers necessary to complete the Lifescan assessment and enter the answers on the website later. See the Lifescan Question Set Page for the question set you will use.
    • Print out the subject's results and share the results with the subject. Your paper should include some direct quotes of the subject's reactions to the results.
    • What behaviors do you think the subject should change to increase useful life expectancy?

    Attach a cover page with your name, id #, section # and assignment title with both the 2-page paper and the computer printout of the Lifescan results and place the assignment in The Box by Monday, Oct. 6 at noon.  The Lifescan results and paper will be placed in your personal folder and can be given to the subject at the end of the semester.

  3. Optional extra credit: Do a Lifescan assessment and 2-page paper on yourself as well (500 extra credit points). Attach all the same materials including a cover page and place it in THE BOX as well, but do not attach it to the first document.
  4. Start reading Chapter 5.
