IHS 2210: Introduc on to Global Health Summer I 2023-2024, 5/13-6/29/24

Instructor: Paige Klunk, MA, MPA

O ce Hours: Via Teams Only
By Appointment Only
Email: [email protected]

Facilitators: To ensure the best possible learning experience for you, we have carefully selected quali ed
facilitators to work with me to guide your learning experience in this course. Your facilitator is the rst person
you should contact with course-related ques ons. Facilitators are assigned groups as follows:
Group 1: Paige Klunk ([email protected])

Communica on: This course is divided into mul ple small groups. Each group has a facilitator who is responsible
for grading. Your rst point of contact is your facilitator. You may copy your Instructor on this ini al email. If your
facilitator cannot address your ques on, then contact your Instructor. When you send an email, please send it
from your OU email address. Always indicate your group number in your email subject line. We frequently post
announcements and emails. It is your responsibility to read these announcements and emails. In most cases, your
instructors will respond within 24 hours, however, there are occasions when this will not be possible.
ALSO NOTE: DO NOT USE THE BLACKBOARD APP ON YOUR PHONE.

Credit: 3 credit hours

Note: Please note that this is an asynchronous course conducted completely via Blackboard. Each module opens
weekly, and it is completely self-guided. This class was always asynchronous even prior to the pandemic, so there
are no online mee ngs.
Es mated Engagement Time: This is an online course. However, please note that this is NOT an independent
study/correspondence course. Our expecta on is that you will engage with your instructor, your facilitator, and
your peers on a weekly basis per the learning objec ves, ac vi es, and assignments that will be made available
each week. Plan on alloca ng four to ve hours per week per credit hour (12 to 15 hours a week) to derive
maximum value from this learning experience. Remember this course is a full course in seven weeks, so it is
important to stay ahead of the course and check the due dates.
Course Descrip on: This course provides a broad overview of global pa erns of disease and the factors that
in uence health. Students examine how culture shapes health behavior, health interven on and health policy.
Students learn about di erent health systems and regional health indicators. Students evaluate the role of
culture in health interven on through a variety of case examples from di erent countries. In doing so, the
course exposes students to issues rela ng to social, cultural, and environmental determinants of health.
Note on Course Content: Global Health is a discipline in the social sciences that relies on data and peer
reviewed studies to iden fy health needs and appropriate health interven ons. IHS-2210 Introduc on to Global
Health serves both as a general educa on course and a prerequisite for advanced courses in the study of Global
Health as part of the Global Health Cer cate. Thus, the course introduces both the basics of the discipline of
Global Health as well as the sills needed to appropriately cite the data and other sources used in iden fying
health needs and interven ons. This includes instruc on on what cons tutes plagiarism, when to use cita ons,
and use of APA style, a standardized format used for in-text cita ons and reference lists. While the focus of

 grading this course is on the content, you will also be assessed to a lesser extend on the skills related to ci ng
data, sta s cs and the outcomes of peer reviewed studies. Those in clinical health science posi ons may never
need these skills, but anyone in a managerial or other role that involves evidence-based prac ce, repor ng on
research studies, wri ng grant proposals, or proposing new health programming will bene t from knowing
when and how to cite sta s cs, results from external studies, or other informa on documents. Proper cita ons
allow others to verify the reliability of the evidence used in decision-making and research. Cita ons also
acknowledge the intellectual contribu ons of others promo ng ethical scholarship.

Course-Level Learning Goals

1. Describe the cultural, social and environmental determinants of health.
2. Explain how the principles and measurements of global health demonstrate the connec on between health
dispari es and development.
3. Describe the impact of social policy and health systems on healthcare delivery and health outcomes across the
globe.
4. Evaluate the rela onship between economies, social and cultural environments and pa erns of health and
disease.
5. Analyze the roles of individuals, the community, non-governmental, governmental, and interna onal
agencies in health promo on, disease preven on, and epidemic management.
6. Demonstrate openness, curiosity and empathy towards people from cultures from their own in the
context of health behavior, prac ces and environment.

 Descrip on of Course Assignments
Orienta on Quiz: To ensure everyone that everyone understands the format of the course, we are
requiring that you complete a course ‘orienta on quiz’ due the rst Wednesday of the course. Unlike
other quizzes in this course, you can only take this quiz once. There are 10 ques ons derived from the
course syllabus and Blackboard pages. Before taking this quiz, please make sure that you have
completed the following tasks:
• Reviewed the syllabus
• Clicked on each available blackboard course page and can describe what content is available
on each page.
• Can see your group assignment on the main blackboard menu. To
see your group assignment, you must scroll down the screen
below the link to view your grades in the course, and there should
be a header tled, “My Groups”. Under this header, you should
see a group number assignment (see the screenshot on the right
for an example). If you do not see a group assignment on the main
Blackboard menu, please contact the Course Instructor and ask to
be assigned to a group.

Plagiarism Tutorial Assignment: In past classes, we have had numerous cases of plagiarism. To make sure
that everyone is clear on the de ni on of plagiarism and appropriate paraphrasing, we are requiring that all
students complete this plagiarism tutorial from Ohio University Alden Library: h ps://
libguides.library.ohio.edu/plagiarism. Go through the tutorial and complete the ac vity at the end of each
sec on to get your nal results. At the end you will receive a cer cate of comple on that you can print, e-
mail or make a PDF. As instructed by the tutorial, either e-mail or save your results to PDF and upload to
Blackboard.

The tutorial was updated in May 2021. If you completed this tutorial for another course and you s ll have a
copy of the nal results, you may submit this as well as well as long as you have a passing grade of 80% or
above. In all cases, please review the module and write the statement in the textbook, indica ng that you
have reviewed the module.

Introduc on: During week 1, you will introduce yourself to your group; the following weeks, you will discuss
the course content with your classmates. Prior to comple ng the introduc on post, review the global health
milestones videos. In your introduc on, you should discuss: 1. Your major; 2. Your previous experience with
global health and 3. Your favorite video from the milestones folder. Why was it interes ng? How does it
relate to the de ni on of global health. In your response, you should select someone who chose a di erent
video and compare your video to the one in the original post.
Classroom Chats (CC): Classroom chats are due each week. CC provide an opportunity to share
re ec ons about assigned videos, readings and presenta ons/lectures in the week’s module.

CC are a place for you to share your personal experiences as it relates to the course content. You are expected to write
at least one well- developed paragraph (6 sentences) that refers to the course content for the assignment module. In
other words, you are expected to discuss the course content (i.e., videos, readings, presenta ons/lectures, course
concepts) from each week in your chat. You are expected to write well and in your own words. Copy and pasted
material from other sources will not be accepted.

You will be expected to have a total of 2 classroom chat posts in a week; both the ini al post and the response posts
are due on Friday. We encourage you to ques on your classmates and push them to think of issues in depth and with
complexity. We will be doing this too. With that said, make sure you post in a way that is respec ul of others. While
this is more causal wri ng, you should s ll have a well-developed theme in each post, rather than a collec on of

 random thoughts.

Original CC Post: To get full credit in your classroom chat post should 1) be at least 6 sentences, 2) discuss at least one
of the course materials in rela on to either a) a personal or clinical experience, b) another course resource or c) a
resource outside the class, 3) provides a re ec on on what you have learned.

Re ec ve wri ng is a response to new informa on you gained through learning. It is not summarizing or regurgita ng
informa on; rather it is re ec ng on what you learned from the informa on. Re ec ve wri ng is an ac vity that
includes descrip on (what, when, who) and analysis (how, why, what if). It is an explora ve tool o en resul ng in more
ques ons than answers.

Response CC Post: Your response should 1) respond to one of your peer’s Original CC post 2) be at least 5
sentences, 3) be about a di erent topic than your Original CC post 4) compare or contrast your peer’s Original post
to a) personal or clinical experience, b) another course resource, or c) a resource outside the class.

To complete all discussion board assignments:

• Locate your group discussion board in the Groups area of the course naviga on on the le .
• Enter Your Group and then enter the Group Discussion Board.
• Locate the speci c discussion board for this assignment.
• Your original post and response(s) to a colleague will be graded according to the rubric.

A er your post, the submission will link to the gradebook. Please note, if your facilitator does not nd a
post a er the due date, you will be given a zero. If you submit late, it is your responsibility to inform your
facilitator and your assignment will be subject to the late policy outlined in the syllabus (1 point deducted
per day late; no post accepted a er 5 days). CC posts are worth 20% of your grade.

Weekly Homework Assignments (HW): Each week, you will be asked to complete a homework worksheet.
Weekly HW relate to key concepts and ideas introduced in the module lectures and readings. The HW are a
way to demonstrate your understanding/comprehension of the major concepts. Most of the HWs will ask
that you include data or work with data tables. Global health is a scien c eld that uses data to help form
policy, keep an eye on health issues in communi es and worldwide and allow us to evaluate e ec veness
of health systems and interven ons. Make sure to follow instruc ons carefully as the assignments will di er
week-to-week. HW is due every Saturday. When you submit homework, the le you upload should be
named with your last name and HW number (e.g. KlunkHW2.doc). You must submit the homework as a
word le. Homework not submi ed by the due date, will be given a zero. If you submit late, it is your
responsibility to inform your facilitator and your assignment will be subject to the late policy outlined in
the syllabus (1 point deducted per day late; no submission accepted a er 5 days). Please do not edit the
homework template. It is meant to be a worksheet for you to complete.

Module Quizzes: Quizzes are based on informa on and data from the current edi on of the required textbook.
They are open book. You will have three a empts to take the quiz, although the ques ons will change each me.
Quizzes are med: you have 20 minutes to complete the quiz and quizzes that go over that me will not be
recorded for a grade but will be considered one of your three submissions. (1 point deducted per day late; no
submission accepted a er 5 days).
Your highest score for each quiz is recorded in the gradebook. At the end of the course there is a
comprehensive nal exam with ques ons from each module. You will have three a empts to complete the
nal. It will be due on the nal Saturday of the class. No late nals will be accepted. Quizzes and the nal
example make up 30% of your grade.

 assignments, and par cipate in course ac vi es. Ques ons and disagreements concerning points/
grades on assignments must be raised with the faculty instructor prior to the end of the course.
All par cipa on will be electronically monitored. Late assignments may be penalized 1 point for
every day late a er the date and me due, unless prior arrangements have been made with the
instructor of record/faculty.
As a Tier 2 class, this course does not follow the grading system of the RN to BSN program. You need a
D- to pass regardless of your program. Grades with a nal percentage of 0.5 will be rounded up to the
nearest whole number. No late assignments will be accepted a er the last day of class unless
provided permission from the instructor of record/faculty.
Grade breakdown:

94 to 100% = A 83 to 85% = B 73 to 75% = C 63-65 = D

90 to 93% = A- 80 to 82% = B- 70 to 72% = C- 60-62 = D-

86 to 89% = B+ 76 to 79% = C+ 66 to 69% = D+ 0-59 = F

Incomplete Grades: Grades of incomplete are NOT automa cally given when there are missing
assignments at the end of the quarter. A student must discuss with the faculty of record for the course the
reasons that an incomplete grade is being requested. This discussion must occur as soon as the student
recognizes that a problem exists. Faculty members are not obligated to grant the use of an incomplete
grade. With no prior discussion of the need for an incomplete, students not comple ng the required
ac vi es will receive the grade for the course based on the percentage of the required material submi ed.

Grading turn-around: Quizzes are graded immediately upon comple on. Your score will be based on
your highest score. Your facilitators will provide you with Rubric Scores and feedback on the HW
assignments and CC that you post on the discussion board. Grades may take up to 7 days to complete. If
we no ce universal issues with the assignments, we will send a general email with feedback to the en re
class or your whole group. Unless told otherwise, you should assume that this feedback is relevant to
you and you should u lize it while preparing your next assignment.

Course Policies:
This course follows all policies found in the Ohio University Student Handbook found at:
h p://www.ohio.edu/students/handbook/

1. Students with documented special needs or a disability may request special services. The student should contact
the instructor upon enrollment in the course for making special needs arrangements. Students may contact the
O ce for Accessibility Services for more informa on: (740) 593-2620, h ps://www.ohio.edu/university-college/
student-accessibility-services Faculty will need a copy of the documenta on that details the accommoda ons for
which you qualify. Failure to no fy faculty in a mely manner may result in a loss of points for the course
requirement.

 2. Full class par cipa on is essen al. You are responsible for comple ng all course work within the
meframes given. Late work will result in a reduc on of points (one point for each day the assignment is
late). You may make prior arrangements for late assignments with the instructor; however, acceptance is
up to each individual instructor. To facilitate equity, a “no-fault” exam a endance will be followed. The
Ohio University Student Code of Conduct prohibits all forms of academic dishonesty. These include
chea ng, plagiarism, forgery, furnishing of false informa on to the university, and altera on or misuse of
university documents, records, or iden ca on. If a student engages in course-related academic
dishonesty, his or her grade on the work in ques on or in the course may be lowered by the instructor.
Any student wishing to protest the instructor's ac on has recourse to the established grievance
procedures, star ng at the department level. (See the Undergraduate Catalog or Student Handbook or
contact University Judiciaries for further informa on.) Instructors may also report cases of academic
dishonesty to the Director of University Judiciaries for further ac on; however, by so doing, an instructor
does not in any way relinquish the right to assign a grade in a course. The student may appeal the grade
through the appeal-of-grade procedure of Sec on IV.C.3. Any student accused of academic dishonesty by
University Judiciaries is en tled to no ce of charges being made against him or her and to a full hearing.
If suspension or dismissal is recommended, the student is further en tled to appeals procedures and will
not be suspended or dismissed from the university while appeals are in process. For more informa on on
appeals, please see the following link: h ps://www.ohio.edu/chsp/chsp-grade-appeals-policy.

3. Reasonable Religious Accommoda ons: In addi on to par cipa on/a endance/absence policies already
listed, students/you may be absent for up to three (3) days each academic semester, without penalty, to
take me o for reasons of faith or religious or spiritual belief system or to par cipate in organized
ac vi es conducted under the auspices of a religious denomina on, church, or other religious or
spiritual organiza on. Students/You are required to no fy the instructor/me in wri ng of speci c dates
requested for alterna ve accommoda ons no later than fourteen (14) days a er the rst day of
instruc on. These requests will remain con den al. For more informa on about this policy, students/
you may contact the Director and Title IX Coordinator, Equity and Civil Rights Compliance, Lindley Hall,
006, 740-593-9140.

4. Academic integrity and honesty are basic values of the university. Students and student organiza ons
are expected to follow student code of conduct standards of academic integrity and honesty. The
university community is an open forum involving the free exchange of ideas and opinions. For
exchange to occur there must be a con nuous professionalism, acceptance of freedom of ideas and
expression and civility in disagreement.
5. Right to revise: I reserve the right to make changes in this syllabus and course to improve your
learning experience.

Course Evalua on:

Formal evalua on of the course and the instructor occurs at the end of the quarter. You will receive
instruc ons at your Ohio University email address about how to complete the course evalua ons
online. If you have ques ons about the evalua on process, please contact Sally Marinellie
([email protected]). Your ra ngs and comments are sent to a computer not connected to your
department and faculty members do not receive the results un l a er they have turned in course
grades.

On Diversity & Inclusion:

Ohio University is commi ed to suppor ng inclusion of diverse people and popula ons within and
beyond our campus community. It is crucial that we commit to learning from one another in our
classroom and provide an environment if something is occurring that prevents us from being able to
succeed, we talk about it and address it. Discrimina on has a nega ve impact on one’s learning, and my

AI Policy for IHS-2210

The most important policy regarding using CatGPT or any other AI applica on in this class is that you
may not present is work as your own wri ng, your own (independent) research, your thoughts and
insight, or your own argument in discussion boards or submissions. Doing any of these is academic
dishonesty in the context of this class and may be reported to Community Standards. You may use it as
an assistant in researching, genera ng topics, and organizing your thoughts, if you are transparent
about how you have used it.

Examples of appropriate use:

1. You can ask ChatGPT factual ques ons about an author or about the history of cri cism for a text/
ar cle. You can also ask it to generate cita ons to back up its asser ons or to generate a reading list.
Because ChatGPT is AI it will create non-factual cita ons and informa on thus you are always
responsible for checking its work.
2. You can ask AI to check spelling, grammar, and references but not cita ons.
3. You can tell ChatGPT to generate poten al topics about a given text or author.
4. You can tell ChatGPT to come up with objec ons to an argument that you want to make to test the
strength of your document/paper/re ec on/submission.
5. You can give ChatGPT a topic and a list of arguments to support the topic and tell its to organize
those ideas into an outline for a presenta on or paper.

Examples of Inappropriate use:

1. You MAY NOT rely on ChatGPT to nd resources without checking them yourself or without using
another research tool such as Ohio University Libraries/Ar cles Plus, Google Scholar, etc.
2. You MAY NOT tell ChatGPT to generate a paper/document/submission based on a topic or
observa ons about the text/ar cle/discussion/scenario.
3. You MAY NOT submit material wri en by the ChatGPT or paraphrased from ChatGPT as your own. In
order to cite ChatGPT in APA, the content needs to be inside quota on marks or as a standard APA
block quote format as a cita on.

Cita on Example:
OpenAI. (2023). ChatGPT. (Mar 14 version) [Large language model]. h ps://chat.openai.com/chat.

There may be mes throughout the course where I or your facilitator may ask you to explain how you
have used ChatGPT or any other AI. I may use AI detec on at any me on any submission. You are in a
healthcare related course which is an area where AI cannot be used to cri cally think through pa ent
treatments, planning, care, and communica on thus you must be able to apply the course materials
posi vely impact pa ent/client outcomes and this requires a human.

Note about the Presenta ons/Lectures: We!ve provided most lectures in mul ple formats to
accommodate di erent learning styles. Ideally, you will listen to the instructor give the lecture while
reviewing the PDF version of the presenta on. We!ve also provided separate mp3 and notes les if you!d
prefer to review the content that way. Please note that quizzes are based on updated informa on and
data from the textbook. Data presented in lectures may vary from that presented in the textbook.
