Course Overview: Epidemiology Essentials

"Epidemiology Essentials" is a four-week, intensive online course designed to introduce high school students to the fascinating world of epidemiology. This course is structured to build upon knowledge progressively, starting with historical perspectives and moving towards contemporary issues and data analysis in public health. Here’s what parents and students need to know about the curriculum and the teaching approach:

Learning Style: Hands-on learning through data manipulation and analysis tasks, culminating in a practical project that simulates real-world epidemiological work.
Interaction and Teaching Approach:

The course is designed to be highly interactive. Each week, students will have the opportunity to engage with the material through:

Lectures and Video Clips: To introduce and explain complex topics.
Interactive Quizzes and Problem-Solving Exercises: To reinforce learning and ensure comprehension.
Discussion Boards: To foster a community learning environment and allow students to query concepts and ideas in real-time.

This course not only equips students with a fundamental understanding of epidemiology but also enhances their analytical and critical thinking skills. It's perfect for students interested in a future in health sciences, public health policy, or any field that values analytical thinking and an understanding of global health dynamics.
