EDU2041 Lifestyles for Learning

This course explores current scientifically-based information about health and wellness issues relevant to the college student, from the individual to the more global perspective. The course introduces health education content specifically confronting college-age adults, including mind/ body health, sleep, diet and nutrition, and models of resilience. Students will be provided opportunities to research, apply and practice various models related to course themes, and will ultimately complete a Personal Health Toolkit. This wellness course focuses on the relationship between lifestyle choices and the learning process, asking students to reflect on how their personal choices can affect their academic achievement. Students explore course themes through assigned readings and discussion. The course will incorporate a seminar format when students are expected to engage in an on-going written reflection of how the seminar theories, activities and readings, coupled with their direct experiences, are informing their understanding of the course themes related to healthy lifestyle choices that positively impact the college student. In addition, students will share their reflective writing and thoughts with the other seminar participants. Each student develops a research question to study throughout the course, and is expected to integrate their research findings into the Personal Health Toolkit that they ultimately create, as well as the culminating group project. Students cannot receive credit for both EDU 1041 and EDU2041. Credits: 3.000
