This week we had Asher lead our class. I've actually had a class with Asher so it was great to see someone that I went to class with now teach the class. It makes me remember why I'm in the program and want to push to complete it. He knew the material well and incorporated his interest in Public Health into the material he lectured on. He sort of lost me when he was discussing the politics of Public Health and agenda setting. I realized I need to brush up on a few things and be more informed on what is going on in our country and outside of our country. When I read the Community Stakeholders and Marketplace Advocacy: A Model of Advocacy, Agenda Building, and Industry Approval by Miller I got a better understanding of how marketplace advocacy influences Community Stakeholders. I liked the example in the article about Friends of Coal and how they impact the coal industry through campaigns.
Our fellow classmates also did a good job on their presentations. I'm pretty sure I've never had a class with so many presentations, by the end of this we should all be better guest speakers.
On another note, our group is really powering through Project 2. Way to go girls. I'm glad we got it all done with having to redo our interviews : )
