What HLTH 380 covers
Robnett and Chop's Gerontology for the Health Care Professional is the course text, read one or two chapters a module/week with recorded presentations and four open-book tests, two of which include an essay question.
Each forum asks for a thread of 300 words or more and two replies to classmates of 200 words or more. Applied projects carry most of the grade: a one to two page article analysis with two added references, two website evaluations with a one-page narrative each, three interviews summarized in five to six pages, a ten-slide presentation on a long-term care facility tour and a two to three page belief statement.
The study of the process of aging and the interrelationships among the five dimensions of health as they relate to aging. Emphasis is placed on health promotion and disease prevention at all ages as the path to living a full life in later years.

Where HLTH 380 papers lose points
HLTH 380 work loses points when interview summaries list answers instead of comparing the three age groups, when website narratives describe the site without saying how it would help an older person, when the facility presentation repeats a brochure rather than what the student learned and when the belief statement skips one of its three required perspectives.
Using a HLTH 380 sample well
Each sample ties one assignment to the five dimensions of health and to evidence about older adults, then draws a practical conclusion for health promotion. The interviews and facility tour use composite people and places, so use the structure with your own interviews and visits.
