a) This course will be taught as a participatory seminar.  The instructor will present brief  lectures to introduce conceptual material using the Supercourse lecture (each lecture will take approximately 30 minutes).  Students will be expected to read the assigned materials and review appropriate weblinks and be prepared to discuss them with the instructor during the class.  These can be part of in-service activities. Because of the quality and timeliness of the lectures, they can be taught by members of the health department.

b)Supercourse lectures can be independently reviewed by those employed in the Health Department or the general public by using Internet connection or DVD.  Lectures selected for this course have links to various useful online sources that students can independently review and pursue additional information.
