You will examine and apply fundamental health promotion concepts in this unit. Models of health and health promotion are identified and analysed as to their impact on the development of the health promotion discipline. In particular, determinants of health, models of sustainability and change are considered. You will examine the role of partnerships within health promotion, with a particular focus on styles of leadership within teams. Partnership and leadership skills will be developed through a small group work project. Information literacy skills are developed and integrated into the unit activities.

Every unit is reviewed for enhancement each year. At the most recent review, the following staff and student feedback items were identified and recommendations were made.

Feedback from Phone call with non-engaged students

Some students did not participate in the class activity because they were working full-time and had no time to complete their activities

Remind students about the time commitment required to complete this unit successfully. The class activities will also be reviewed to ensure that they can be completed in a timely manner.

Feedback from Reflection

Due to the small number of enrolled students, working in groups has been a challenging task in this unit.

Consider designing a different assessment instead of asking students to complete a weekly bibliography post. Alternatively, each weekly bibliography should have some grade incentives attached to allow students to complete the activities. If there are no incentives provided, students may choose to give priority to other tasks instead of these activities.

Feedback from Reflection

The fact that only a few students are enrolled in this particular unit is a matter of concern as it could have many implications, such as limited opportunities for peer-to-peer learning, a lack of diverse perspectives in class discussions, and potentially less interaction between students and instructors. This low enrolment could also impact the unit's sustainability, and if this trend continues, it could lead to the unit being cancelled altogether.

It may be helpful to make this unit appealing to students and increase the number of students enrolled. For example, enrolment could be improved by making this unit more appealing to students by identifying the key benefits of the unit to students in other courses and communicating these benefits through effective marketing and outreach efforts. Highlighting the unit's unique strengths and advantages will increase students' enrolments, leading to greater student engagement and academic success.
