COURSE INTERACTION

The course aims to provide a great deal of interaction among the faculty, students, and teaching assistants. On-line discussion begins for each unit with the instructor posing 2-3 questions per unit. Students are also encouraged to post questions or comments about any topic in the course or the field in the general discussion forum at any time. The instructor aims to guide and fill in details of the discussion but not dominate it.

EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES

The course is taught via distance learning. Teaching modalities include:

• Access to the entire course via the OHSU Sakai system
• Voice-over-PowerPoint lectures 
• Handouts of PowerPoint slides and cited references
• Reading assignments in the form of PDFs
• On-line multiple-choice homework assignments
• On-line discussion in the Sakai forums

COURSE PROJECT

The course project is a term paper. The goal of the term paper is for you to explore a topic of interest beyond what we cover in class. Therefore, you should pick a topic that interests you, search for information about it in reputable sources, and write it up in a coherent and readable manner. You must not simply re-hash material we cover in class.

One of the big challenges students face with this assignment is an appropriate level of focus. You may need to do some searching to determine what that level of focus is. You want a topic that you can reasonably describe, not necessarily in exhaustive detail, in 10-15 pages. If you have questions about appropriate level of focus, or any other questions, do not hesitate to email the instructor. He and you can even talk by phone if necessary.

Some logistical details about the paper:

• It should be 10-15 pages double-spaced, including tables and figures but not title page or references, with one-inch margins.
• It should have a title page, which is not included in the paper page count.
• References can be in any format (e.g., APA, Vancouver) as long as they are consistent and have enough information for them to be located, and are not include in the paper page count.
• The text should be your own words and not copied and pasted from other writings. (An on-line plagiarism-checking tool is used.)
• It should be typed into a Microsoft Word document. Other word processor formats or PDF are not acceptable.
• The file name should begin with your last name, e.g., Hersh-BMI510.docx, and be uploaded to the Submission site on Sakai (do not email it).

The rubric for grading the paper is as follows. Grading for the paper is a letter grade based on all of the following criteria (percentage for each criterion):

• Title that briefly describes what paper is about (5%)
• Introductory 1-2 paragraphs that describe what will be covered in the paper (15%)
  • Provide clear and complete definition of the problem or issues of interest
• Body of paper that provides (35%)
  • Literature and perspectives relevant to background of the clinical, system, or organizational problem, and/or ethical, or policy issue
  • Discussion of issues and implications reflecting integration and analysis
  • Potential solutions/approaches/strategies/services/programs
  • Approaches and solutions grounded in the scientific literature or credible technical reports
• Concluding 1-2 paragraphs that review what was covered and provide any conclusions (15%)
• All writing in concise and grammatically correct English (20%)
  • Body of paper appropriately segmented by headings covering the main aspects of the paper
  • Text should be readable narrative and not a series of lists or bulleted items
  • All facts should be appropriately cited with the full reference in the Reference section at the end of the paper
• References can be in any format (e.g., APA, Vancouver) as long as they are consistent and have enough information for them to be located (which the instructor occasionally does, since you may pique his interest!) (10%)

FINAL EXAMINATION

BMI 510/610 requires a final exam. The exam is open-book, so students may access books, notes, lectures, and the Internet but may not contact or communicate with other humans. The exam consists of about 8 general questions, each with sub-questions, for a total of about 33 items to answer. The items require a short answer, typically less than a sentence. The coverage of items is similar to what is covered in the weekly quizzes, with the aim of applying the information that has been learned. The exam is administered via Sakai during a one-week period the day that Unit 10 is posted.

It is OHSU policy that any exam offered online and worth more than 10% of the final course grade must be virtually proctored. In this course, we will be using the services of Examity, a remote proctoring services company. You will be required to schedule your exam three (3) weeks ahead of time. There is no cost to the student. More information will be provided to you regarding setup, scheduling, and requirements in the Course Materials.

Student grading is based on the following:

• On-line multiple-choice homework assignments - 30%
• Term paper - 30%
• Final examination - 30%
• Class participation in discussion forums - 10%

The course is graded on a curve, but usually adheres to the following distribution:
