So I really like Asher and I think he's a great guy and very intelligent. He came and co-taught in Global Health last semester with Joe and he definitely knows his stuff in terms of his dissertation and global health policy. I do not know, though, how the heck his lecture pertains to our class. He also came and spoke in 662 and the connections felt a little weak there, too. Policy is obviously important for health reasons; many times we can make the biggest strides in a certain health area by changing laws and policy. Smoking is a perfect example. I feel, though, that what would be more important than understanding the structure of which organizations inform which institutions that inform which policies, etc, is knowing how to communicate with the groups that would make the most impact in our area, etc. Again, I really like Asher and I think his information could be relevant to what we are learning but for this lecture there was a disconnect.
I found this site (and I emailed it to everyone as well) which is interesting and might give us some ideas in terms of our project: http://lifestyle.msn.com/your-life/more-time-for-me/staticslideshowinstyle.aspx?cp-documentid=23809701>1=32052
I'm glad we were able to narrow down our choices for a low and high involvement ad and I'm excited to see what our interviewees/focus group attendees have to say about it all. I kinda want to hear what they have to say about the vomit picture! I think Tuesday will be interesting to see what everyone else has done.
One thing I do have to say, it is so unclear when a module ends that I'm never sure when I'm supposed to comment on what I've learned previously or not. And with so many student presentations I feel that half the time we don't cover information from the module so I don't know what I'm supposed to say I "learned". I'm confused. Anyone else have any suggestions?
