What This Document Is
This is the official course guide—a syllabus—for Holistic Health (HED 3200 02) at Kean University for the Fall 2022 semester. It’s designed for students enrolled in the course and provides essential information for successful participation.
Why This Document Matters
Students registered for HED 3200 need this document to understand course expectations, grading policies, required materials, and the schedule of topics. It serves as a contract between the instructor, Rita Jain-Mehta, and the students, outlining the course structure and requirements. It’s used throughout the semester as a reference for assignments, due dates, and instructor contact information.
Common Limitations or Challenges
This syllabus provides an overview; it does not contain the full course content, lecture notes, or detailed assignment instructions. It’s a roadmap, not the journey itself. Students will still need to actively engage in class, complete readings, and refer to the Blackboard platform for detailed assignment submissions.
What This Document Provides
The guide includes: course description, program and course learning outcomes, instructor contact information and office hours, a list of required textbooks (including ISBNs and price match information), details on open educational resources, a week-by-week topic schedule, and assignment due dates. It also outlines the instructional techniques used in the course—lecture, discussion, and Blackboard activities—and emphasizes the importance of in-person attendance and pre-reading.
