GCH 195Global and Community Health Communication
Focuses on enabling students to assess and communicate their learning in global and community health (GCH) using an iterative process of writing, review, and website development. The e-portfolio webpages students complete by the end of the course will together comprise their capstone ''GCH e-Record'' designed to communicate their disciplinary and interdisciplinary learning in their degree to a specific audience beyond the university. These written reflections, in turn, involve meta-learning about how expert knowledge moves between different communities, and about how audience expectations and writing conventions condition communications about health expertise in particular.
Prerequisite(s): GCH 1, and satisfaction of the Entry Level Writing and Composition requirements. Enrollment is restricted to seniors majoring in global and community health.
- All students - If you met the prerquisites or request an expception to the restriction, please reach out to GCH Advising, gchbaadv@ucsc.edu.
- From the Instructor: This course will be split between weekly synchronous zoom meetings (attendance required for all) and asynchronous lectures online.
