Transcripts
hello everyone welcome to ethical issues
in healthcare I'm your professor Dr Jada
tweet strabbing I wanted to just make
this short introductory video so that
you could put a face to the voice that
you'll be hearing on the narrated
PowerPoint lectures I also wanted to go
over some syllabus highlights with you
okay so first of all by way of
introduction again I'm Professor straing
or Dr straing you can call me either one
I've been teaching at Wayne State for
six years and I've really enjoyed it
here I really love Detroit I have three
young kids that keep me very busy I also
love music get particularly dancing and
singing and um I love basketball I used
to play college basketball so there's
just a little bit about me I'd be happy
to um hopefully get the chance to meet
some of you I know that's hard in an
online asynchronous course but please
know I'd be very happy to meet you in
office hours and get to know you and
talk with you and if you have any
questions at all I'm more than happy to
help you throughout the course whether
that's understanding course content or
whether you need um an extension on
something or whatever it is um I'm more
than happy to help you throughout the
course and the same goes for the two Tas
that are in this course so we have um
Dominic colaluca and lean Ross and
they're both here to help you as well so
two Tas and so you can email all three
of us at once or you could just choose
to email one of us and we'll get back to
you as quickly as we can we prefer to be
emailed right to our Wayne State email
address rather than through canvas
because um we just get notifications so
much more quickly if it goes right to
the Wayne State email address and for
the fastest response please email all
three of us at once we also have a
grader in the course Adeline Navaro so
she um has a different role than the TAA
so she's just in responsible for some
grading but you'll see her name on
canvas as well so yeah so that's just a
little bit about the instructional staff
of the course I will be hosting office
hours on Thursday from 10:00 a.m. to
11:00 a.m. over canvas so again please
come and talk to me meet with me um I'm
happy to help you in any way that I can
so let me just quickly go over a few
syllabus highlights so as I mentioned on
the announcement all readings will be
provided through PDF on canvas you can
optionally buy the textbook if you
choose um and the you know you'll be
able to find that on canvas as well on
the syllabus in terms of evaluation
there are four um basically four parts
part of the evaluation all worth 25%
there's a midterm exam a final exam
reading quizzes and discussion board
posts and each of those things are worth
25% let me say just a little bit about
reading quizzes first because that will
help me explain the structure of the
course so the course is broken up into
topics and within topics it's broken up
by weeks um so you'll have a whole week
block to do work typically you'll have
two reading assignments two um articles
within a particular week and each
article will have a corresponding
reading quiz so on Monday morning
basically Monday at at midnight right
when it turns Monday uh the readings
will open up for the week two readings
typically and then you'll read those and
you'll do the reading quizzes sometime
during the course of the week those are
due on Sunday at midnight once the
reading quizzes close the lectures for
those articles open up and so then you
can watch the lectures and then after
you've watched the lectures you'll have
the chance to redo the reading quiz if
you need to do it if you redo the
reading quiz I will average the original
score and the redo score so basically
again you have a whole week to do um
readings and reading quizzes Sunday at
midnight the reading quizzes close the
lectures open up and then the redo
lectures also open up and then of course
the new set of readings for the next
week also open up so everything's
basically due Sunday at midnight and I
drop your three lowest reading quizzes
as well so keep in mind you have the
redo option where I average the score
but you also get three reading quizzes
dropped um so if you don't do as well
one week you can just you know not even
worry about that um discussion board
posts they are not due weekly they're
due on average every other week they go
by topic you have um discussion board
posts due for each topic they're also
due Sunday at midnight and they're due
Sunday at midnight one week after we
finish a particular topic you have to do
an original post and then once you do an
original post you'll be able to see
other people's posts and you have to do
one reply post so I explain that more
thoroughly um you know on the canvas
site and if you have any questions just
let me know there's also a discussion
board rubric that you can follow um this
is a very big class so you are also
broken up into dis smaller discussion
sections so hopefully you'll be able to
get to know each other a little bit that
way um please be warned too about
plagiarism or about using AI do not use
AI to write these discussions board post
we will be checking and if you use AI
you'll get a zero on the discussion
board post so just please avoid it all
together they're meant to be very
straightforward in fact after the first
week they should be pretty interesting
because they'll be uh on particular case
studies you get to choose a case study
and then have a discussion board um Post
in response to that um the way that I've
set it up is that you do a particular
case study and you should reply to
someone else who does a different case
study so that way you're engaging with
two case studies in your discussion
board posts
exams you'll I'll give you more
information closer to the midterm exam
but basically each exam the midterm and
the final they're composed of two parts
a multiple choice section and an essay
section and um again I'll tell you more
about the exams when the time comes
please do not use AI or or plagiarize in
the essays or again um you risk getting
a zero on the exam I just want to say
about um plagiarism or about cheating AI
I know if you're very stressed it can be
tempting but I'm very generous about
giving extensions so if you're really
behind if you're sick um if you just
have a lot of things do at once it may
be tempting to cheat but please don't do
that just please come to me and ask for
an extension I want you to be able to
put your best foot forward so if you
need an extension if you need help
please don't hesitate to reach
out oh and the exams are not
cumulative okay so that's um that's
basically all I had in terms of syllabus
highlights the thank you so much for
watching this video I look forward to um
to talking with you over the course of
the semester please reach out if you
have any questions or any concerns thank
you so much
