What HLTH 350 covers

McKenzie, Pinger and Kotecki's An Introduction to Community Health is the course text, read one to three chapters a module/week with a presentation and, in most weeks, an assigned article.

Initial forum threads of at least 350 words are due Thursday and three replies of at least 100 words are due Monday, each post with one citation. Four article reviews of 450 to 500 words summarize an assigned peer-reviewed article and suggest ways to address its problem, citing one supporting source. Grades also come from a pair of short quizzes and two longer exams, all open book, with the final exam alone in the last module/week.

Liberty's 2026-2027 catalog describes HLTH 350 Introduction to Public and Community Health this way:
An introduction to public and community health issues or problems at the local, state and national levels.

Where HLTH 350 papers lose points

HLTH 350 work loses points when initial threads miss the Thursday deadline, when one of the three replies lacks a citation, when article reviews summarize without offering suggestions to address the problem and when reviews stray outside 450 to 500 words.

Using a HLTH 350 sample well

Each sample states the problem with a number, explains it with the chapter's framework, reports what a study found and offers a community or policy response. Carry the same habits into your own forums and reviews, and keep the deadlines for initial threads and replies in view.
