COURSE REQUIREMENTS

Greetings to All:

        I'm still working on the course requirements at Blackboard.  I ask for a little patience.  For now, this course has four Units (or Learning Modules), identified as:

UNIT 1: NATURE OF THE INTEGRAL HEALTH
UNIT 2: STRESS AND ITS EFFECTS ON HEALTH
UNIT 3: THEORETICAL FOUNDATIONS OF A HEALTHY NUTRITION
UNIT 4: THEORETICAL AND PRACTICAL FOUNDATIONS OF PHYSICAL FITNESS AND RECREATION

        It is important that you download the class textbook, which is:

       As mentioned in the previous communication, all this information will be located under the section labeled as [Content].  This component represents a green colored button located in the vertical menu on the left of your screen, from the course Main Page.  All course requirements will be placed within the [Evaluation] folder, which is located under the [Content] section.  Other folders will be inserted in this folder, which are: [Exams], [Assignmente] and [Laboratories].  The detailed activities of each one are mentioned below:

        Please send an electronic communication to your professor of the selected chapter. You have until the last day of class to upload this report (Friday, February 17, 2022).  This is uploaded to its corresponding repository at Blackboard.  Presentations submitted by email are not accepted.  This electronic presentation must follow the requirements that are detailed below:

1. There must be a minimum of 30 slides.  There can be more, if desired.

2. It requires inserting important images that the chapter exposes in the Power Point.  This includes:

a. Photos (example: illustrations of exercises), including any other important images belonging to the chapter.
b. Also, if applicable, it is vital to insert any available xy-graphs (example: statistical illustrations in the form of bar or pie charts) and tables.

        For this purpose it is recommended to use the tool known as Snipping Tool, from Windows Window 10-11.  For the MAC computers, there is an equivalent tool for Print Screen.

3. It is required to insert in one or more Power Point slides core concepts and abbreviations associated to the selected book chapter.  This requires requires that:

a. Define each of the terminology presented in the chapter
b. Apply the concept within a context or scenario of your profession or daily living activities.
c.  Include abbreviations, and their meaning, used in the chapter

4. The type of font incorporated in the Power Point must be:

a. Fairly big: 32 points or higher
b. It must be a font type without tails.  In other words, it must be sanserif, such as, arial, verdana and similar ones.

5. It is important that there is a good contrast between the color of the letter (font and background). This means that if the font color is dark, the background should be lighter, and if the background is dark, the font color should be lighter.

6. Insert  4 to 5 short bullets, not more. Each bullet must be explained.

7. The last slide must include three questions associated with the presentation.
