- Class Description:
- PubH 6320, Fundamentals of Epidemiology, is a one-semester, introductory course designed for graduate students who are not majoring in Epidemiology. In this course, we hope to provide an understanding of the basic methods and tools used by epidemiologists to study the health of populations. As you will soon discover, we define health very broadly and the types of questions we try to answer are infinitely varied. This happens as new health conditions arise (e.g., SARS), new methods are developed to better elucidate mechanisms by which disease occurs (e.g., genetic and molecular epidemiology), previous health conditions take on new importance (e.g., tuberculosis and antibiotic resistance, obesity) or epidemiologic methods are applied to problems in the domain of other disciplines (e.g., violence prevention). This variety is what makes Epidemiology an exciting and useful endeavor! We will cover all the same topics as the course taken by Epidemiology majors (PubH 6341), but in somewhat less depth. We would encourage those who think they may be serious about epidemiology to consider taking PubH 6341, available in fall semester. Alternatively, if PubH 6320 whets your appetite for the discipline, you may take PubH 6342 (Epi Methods II) if you earn at least an A- in PubH 6320 and at least a B- in a Biostatistics class. If you think you might want to continue with Epi Methods III and IV, you will need to take Biostats II (PubH 6452). This is an introductory course, it cannot be all things to all students. Some students have considerable experience upon entry, others have none. If you have little experience, you will particularly benefit from reading several texts. If you have considerable experience, and find yourself bored, I recommend you read in more depth than is required. This course has two components?lecture and lab. In addition to a lecture style of teaching, I am interested in trying out new techniques to foster learning in this course. These techniques may be new to many of you, and will include (but are not limited to) small group cooperative problem-solving during the lecture, use of the one-minute paper, and frequent course evaluations to help us improve the course as we go along. Lab sessions will primarily utilize a cooperative learning teaching strategy. In cooperative learning, students work as a team to discuss topics and improve their understanding of material. Each team member is responsible for learning what is taught and helping their fellow teammates learn. Working as a team is relevant to your training because tackling public health issues and problems frequently involves working as a team to arrive at a solution. The TAs will provide assistance as needed and facilitate discussion for selected problems.

- Class Description:
- Fundamentals is an introductory course designed to provide graduate students who are not majoring in epidemiology with an understanding of the basic methods and tools used by epidemiologists to study the health of populations. The class will cover all the same topics as the course taken by epidemiology majors, but in somewhat less depth. PubH 6320 or an equivalent is required for obtaining an MPH in the School of Public Health or for obtaining a public health certificate in core concepts. Although you may not want to become an epidemiologist, we hope that by the end of this course, you will have developed an appreciation for the relevance of epidemiology to your own discipline and to everyday life. This class is online with no scheduled in-person sessions. The same class is taught during spring and fall semesters in both an online and in-person class. Before registering for the summer session, please carefully consider whether or not the online format is the best for your learning style. Also note that the summer course covers all of the material in the full semester course, but in only 10 weeks. There are specified dates for all assignments and quizzes and the schedule is fast-paced. Unlike some courses, this is not a "work at your own pace" class. Do not sign up for this course if you know you will miss a substantial portion of the summer session. The instructors provide incompletes only for illness and family emergencies. Students need to be competent in basic algebra to be successful in this course. There is a short online math review that is free to anyone with an x500 id number (http://cpheo.sph.umn.edu/cpheo/courses/math.html). If you do not feel comfortable with this material, the instructors advise you to refresh your skills or consider taking a basic algebra review class. Fundamentals of epidemiology consists of 14 online lessons. There are reading assignments, written lectures and practice problems for each lesson. Audio lectures are available for most of the lessons. There is a required textbook, and a number of online resources, including optional readings, resource links, and short graphic animations. It is estimated, based on the credit load and student experience, that this class requires about 13 hours a week during the semester and about 17-20 hours per week during the summer session.

- Class Description:
- PubH 6320, Fundamentals of Epidemiology, is a one-semester, introductory course designed for graduate students who are not majoring in Epidemiology. In this course, we hope to provide an understanding of the basic methods and tools used by epidemiologists to study the health of populations. As you will soon discover, we define health very broadly and the types of questions we try to answer are infinitely varied. This happens as new health conditions arise (e.g., SARS), new methods are developed to better elucidate mechanisms by which disease occurs (e.g., genetic and molecular epidemiology), previous health conditions take on new importance (e.g., tuberculosis and antibiotic resistance, obesity) or epidemiologic methods are applied to problems in the domain of other disciplines (e.g., violence prevention). This variety is what makes Epidemiology an exciting and useful endeavor! We will cover all the same topics as the course taken by Epidemiology majors (PubH 6341), but in somewhat less depth. We would encourage those who think they may be serious about epidemiology to consider taking PubH 6341, available in fall semester. Alternatively, if PubH 6320 whets your appetite for the discipline, you may take PubH 6342 (Epi Methods II) if you earn at least an A- in PubH 6320 and at least a B- in a Biostatistics class. If you think you might want to continue with Epi Methods III and IV, you will need to take Biostats II (PubH 6452). This is an introductory course, it cannot be all things to all students. Some students have considerable experience upon entry, others have none. If you have little experience, you will particularly benefit from reading several texts. If you have considerable experience, and find yourself bored, I recommend you read in more depth than is required. This course has two components?lecture and lab. In addition to a lecture style of teaching, I am interested in trying out new techniques to foster learning in this course. These techniques may be new to many of you, and will include (but are not limited to) small group cooperative problem-solving during the lecture, use of the one-minute paper, and frequent course evaluations to help us improve the course as we go along. Lab sessions will primarily utilize a cooperative learning teaching strategy. In cooperative learning, students work as a team to discuss topics and improve their understanding of material. Each team member is responsible for learning what is taught and helping their fellow teammates learn. Working as a team is relevant to your training because tackling public health issues and problems frequently involves working as a team to arrive at a solution. The TAs will provide assistance as needed and facilitate discussion for selected problems.

- Class Description:
- Fundamentals is an introductory course designed to provide graduate students who are not majoring in epidemiology with an understanding of the basic methods and tools used by epidemiologists to study the health of populations. The class will cover all the same topics as the course taken by epidemiology majors, but in somewhat less depth. PubH 6320 or an equivalent is required for obtaining an MPH in the School of Public Health or for obtaining a public health certificate in core concepts. Although you may not want to become an epidemiologist, we hope that by the end of this course, you will have developed an appreciation for the relevance of epidemiology to your own discipline and to everyday life. This class is online with no scheduled in-person sessions. The same class is taught during spring and fall semesters in both an online and in-person class. Before registering for the summer session, please carefully consider whether or not the online format is the best for your learning style. Also note that the summer course covers all of the material in the full semester course, but in only 10 weeks. There are specified dates for all assignments and quizzes and the schedule is fast-paced. Unlike some courses, this is not a "work at your own pace" class. Do not sign up for this course if you know you will miss a substantial portion of the summer session. The instructors provide incompletes only for illness and family emergencies. Students need to be competent in basic algebra to be successful in this course. There is a short online math review that is free to anyone with an x500 id number (http://cpheo.sph.umn.edu/cpheo/courses/math.html). If you do not feel comfortable with this material, the instructors advise you to refresh your skills or consider taking a basic algebra review class. Fundamentals of epidemiology consists of 14 online lessons. There are reading assignments, written lectures and practice problems for each lesson. Audio lectures are available for most of the lessons. There is a required textbook, and a number of online resources, including optional readings, resource links, and short graphic animations. It is estimated, based on the credit load and student experience, that this class requires about 13 hours a week during the semester and about 17-20 hours per week during the summer session.

- Class Description:
- PubH 6320, Fundamentals of Epidemiology, is a one-semester, introductory course designed for graduate students who are not majoring in Epidemiology. In this course, we hope to provide an understanding of the basic methods and tools used by epidemiologists to study the health of populations. As you will soon discover, we define health very broadly and the types of questions we try to answer are infinitely varied. This happens as new health conditions arise (e.g., SARS), new methods are developed to better elucidate mechanisms by which disease occurs (e.g., genetic and molecular epidemiology), previous health conditions take on new importance (e.g., tuberculosis and antibiotic resistance, obesity) or epidemiologic methods are applied to problems in the domain of other disciplines (e.g., violence prevention). This variety is what makes Epidemiology an exciting and useful endeavor! We will cover all the same topics as the course taken by Epidemiology majors (PubH 6341), but in somewhat less depth. We would encourage those who think they may be serious about epidemiology to consider taking PubH 6341, available in fall semester. Alternatively, if PubH 6320 whets your appetite for the discipline, you may take PubH 6342 (Epi Methods II) if you earn at least an A- in PubH 6320 and at least a B- in a Biostatistics class. If you think you might want to continue with Epi Methods III and IV, you will need to take Biostats II (PubH 6452). This is an introductory course, it cannot be all things to all students. Some students have considerable experience upon entry, others have none. If you have little experience, you will particularly benefit from reading several texts. If you have considerable experience, and find yourself bored, I recommend you read in more depth than is required. This course has two components?lecture and lab. In addition to a lecture style of teaching, I am interested in trying out new techniques to foster learning in this course. These techniques may be new to many of you, and will include (but are not limited to) small group cooperative problem-solving during the lecture, use of the one-minute paper, and frequent course evaluations to help us improve the course as we go along. Lab sessions will primarily utilize a cooperative learning teaching strategy. In cooperative learning, students work as a team to discuss topics and improve their understanding of material. Each team member is responsible for learning what is taught and helping their fellow teammates learn. Working as a team is relevant to your training because tackling public health issues and problems frequently involves working as a team to arrive at a solution. The TAs will provide assistance as needed and facilitate discussion for selected problems.

There is a short online math review that is free to anyone with an x500 id number (http://cpheo.sph.umn.edu/cpheo/courses/math.html). If you do not feel comfortable with this material, the instructors advise you to refresh your skills or consider taking a basic algebra review class. Fundamentals of epidemiology consists of 14 online lessons. There are reading assignments, written lectures and practice problems for each lesson. Audio lectures are available for most of the lessons. There is a required textbook, and a number of online resources, including optional readings, resource links, and short graphic animations. It is estimated, based on the credit load and student experience, that this class requires about 13 hours a week during the semester and about 17-20 hours per week during the summer session.

- PubH 6320, Fundamentals of Epidemiology, is a one-semester, introductory course designed for graduate students who are not majoring in Epidemiology. In this course, we hope to provide an understanding of the basic methods and tools used by epidemiologists to study the health of populations. As you will soon discover, we define health very broadly and the types of questions we try to answer are infinitely varied. This happens as new health conditions arise (e.g., SARS), new methods are developed to better elucidate mechanisms by which disease occurs (e.g., genetic and molecular epidemiology), previous health conditions take on new importance (e.g., tuberculosis and antibiotic resistance, obesity) or epidemiologic methods are applied to problems in the domain of other disciplines (e.g., violence prevention). This variety is what makes Epidemiology an exciting and useful endeavor! We will cover all the same topics as the course taken by Epidemiology majors (PubH 6341), but in somewhat less depth. We would encourage those who think they may be serious about epidemiology to consider taking PubH 6341, available in fall semester. Alternatively, if PubH 6320 whets your appetite for the discipline, you may take PubH 6342 (Epi Methods II) if you earn at least an A- in PubH 6320 and at least a B- in a Biostatistics class. If you think you might want to continue with Epi Methods III and IV, you will need to take Biostats II (PubH 6452). This is an introductory course, it cannot be all things to all students. Some students have considerable experience upon entry, others have none. If you have little experience, you will particularly benefit from reading several texts. If you have considerable experience, and find yourself bored, I recommend you read in more depth than is required. This course has two components?lecture and lab. In addition to a lecture style of teaching, I am interested in trying out new techniques to foster learning in this course. These techniques may be new to many of you, and will include (but are not limited to) small group cooperative problem-solving during the lecture, use of the one-minute paper, and frequent course evaluations to help us improve the course as we go along.

- Fundamentals is an introductory course designed to provide graduate students who are not majoring in epidemiology with an understanding of the basic methods and tools used by epidemiologists to study the health of populations. The class will cover all the same topics as the course taken by epidemiology majors, but in somewhat less depth. PubH 6320 or an equivalent is required for obtaining an MPH in the School of Public Health or for obtaining a public health certificate in core concepts. Although you may not want to become an epidemiologist, we hope that by the end of this course, you will have developed an appreciation for the relevance of epidemiology to your own discipline and to everyday life. This class is online with no scheduled in-person sessions. The same class is taught during spring and fall semesters in both an online and in-person class. Before registering for the summer session, please carefully consider whether or not the online format is the best for your learning style. Also note that the summer course covers all of the material in the full semester course, but in only 10 weeks. There are specified dates for all assignments and quizzes and the schedule is fast-paced. Unlike some courses, this is not a "work at your own pace" class. Do not sign up for this course if you know you will miss a substantial portion of the summer session. The instructors provide incompletes only for illness and family emergencies. Students need to be competent in basic algebra to be successful in this course. There is a short online math review that is free to anyone with an x500 id number (http://cpheo.sph.umn.edu/cpheo/courses/math.html). If you do not feel comfortable with this material, the instructors advise you to refresh your skills or consider taking a basic algebra review class. Fundamentals of epidemiology consists of 14 online lessons. There are reading assignments, written lectures and practice problems for each lesson. Audio lectures are available for most of the lessons. There is a required textbook, and a number of online resources, including optional readings, resource links, and short graphic animations.

As you will soon discover, we define health very broadly and the types of questions we try to answer are infinitely varied. This happens as new health conditions arise (e.g., SARS), new methods are developed to better elucidate mechanisms by which disease occurs (e.g., genetic and molecular epidemiology), previous health conditions take on new importance (e.g., tuberculosis and antibiotic resistance, obesity) or epidemiologic methods are applied to problems in the domain of other disciplines (e.g., violence prevention). This variety is what makes Epidemiology an exciting and useful endeavor! We will cover all the same topics as the course taken by Epidemiology majors (PubH 6341), but in somewhat less depth. We would encourage those who think they may be serious about epidemiology to consider taking PubH 6341, available in fall semester. Alternatively, if PubH 6320 whets your appetite for the discipline, you may take PubH 6342 (Epi Methods II) if you earn at least an A- in PubH 6320 and at least a B- in a Biostatistics class. If you think you might want to continue with Epi Methods III and IV, you will need to take Biostats II (PubH 6452). This is an introductory course, it cannot be all things to all students. Some students have considerable experience upon entry, others have none. If you have little experience, you will particularly benefit from reading several texts. If you have considerable experience, and find yourself bored, I recommend you read in more depth than is required. This course has two components?lecture and lab. In addition to a lecture style of teaching, I am interested in trying out new techniques to foster learning in this course. These techniques may be new to many of you, and will include (but are not limited to) small group cooperative problem-solving during the lecture, use of the one-minute paper, and frequent course evaluations to help us improve the course as we go along. Lab sessions will primarily utilize a cooperative learning teaching strategy. In cooperative learning, students work as a team to discuss topics and improve their understanding of material. Each team member is responsible for learning what is taught and helping their fellow teammates learn. Working as a team is relevant to your training because tackling public health issues and problems frequently involves working as a team to arrive at a solution. The TAs will provide assistance as needed and facilitate discussion for selected problems.

- Fundamentals is an introductory course designed to provide graduate students who are not majoring in epidemiology with an understanding of the basic methods and tools used by epidemiologists to study the health of populations. The class will cover all the same topics as the course taken by epidemiology majors, but in somewhat less depth. PubH 6320 or an equivalent is required for obtaining an MPH in the School of Public Health or for obtaining a public health certificate in core concepts. Although you may not want to become an epidemiologist, we hope that by the end of this course, you will have developed an appreciation for the relevance of epidemiology to your own discipline and to everyday life. This class is online with no scheduled in-person sessions. The same class is taught during spring and fall semesters in both an online and in-person class. Before registering for the summer session, please carefully consider whether or not the online format is the best for your learning style. Also note that the summer course covers all of the material in the full semester course, but in only 10 weeks. There are specified dates for all assignments and quizzes and the schedule is fast-paced. Unlike some courses, this is not a "work at your own pace" class. Do not sign up for this course if you know you will miss a substantial portion of the summer session. The instructors provide incompletes only for illness and family emergencies. Students need to be competent in basic algebra to be successful in this course. There is a short online math review that is free to anyone with an x500 id number (http://cpheo.sph.umn.edu/cpheo/courses/math.html). If you do not feel comfortable with this material, the instructors advise you to refresh your skills or consider taking a basic algebra review class. Fundamentals of epidemiology consists of 14 online lessons. There are reading assignments, written lectures and practice problems for each lesson. Audio lectures are available for most of the lessons. There is a required textbook, and a number of online resources, including optional readings, resource links, and short graphic animations. It is estimated, based on the credit load and student experience, that this class requires about 13 hours a week during the semester and about 17-20 hours per week during the summer session.
