This course aims to develop knowledge and understanding of multi-disciplinary approaches to community health promotion.
This course aims to develop knowledge and understanding of multi-disciplinary approaches to physical activity, exercise and nutritional behaviour change/health promotion in communities and populations. Critical reflection of evidence and ﾠreal-life issues ﾠwithin the field will be a major component of the course and you will be encouraged to apply theory ﾠto practice, while reflecting on potential career and practitioner pathways. The course will examine national and international perspectives and you will be asked to consider holistic health issuesﾠ from education, exercise science, and nutritional contexts.
HPRM2000 is delivered through whole group lectures, small group workshops ﾠand a series of independent portfolio tasks which allow students to further explore key course topics. A Blackboard site has been developed providing access to key learning resources which provide a platform for additional literature. The weekly contact is approximately 2.5 hours consisting of a 1.30 hour lecture and a 1.0 hour workshop. A range of independent study tasks are also set, which link to the materials delivered in lectures and workshops.

Task description
You are required to complete five independent tasks, released across the course, linked to specific health promotion issues and topics. Each task will be used or linked to workshop activities, and is to be submitted via Blackboard, at specified time points. Each task is pass/fail and worth 2% of your final mark (10% in total). Your workshop leader will review your submission to check task engagement, and has the remit to fail your task submission if they feel engagement is poor. Appropriate task engagement and a high level of exploring and research for each task will in turn provide an excellent set of resources for final exam revision.

Artificial Intelligence
The assessment tasks in this course have been designed to be challenging, authentic and complex. ﾠWhilst students may use AI technologies, successful completion of assessments will require students to critically engage in specific contexts and tasks for which artificial intelligence will provide only limited support and guidance.
