Program outcome 3: Demonstrate writing and communication skills required for effective health professionals.
This is a short writing assignment that is an example of most of the technical writing that I completed in the class discussion boards. The class discussion boards were the primary way to communicate with the instructors and fellow students. With this health sciences degree being completed only on line, the only way for a student to effectively communicate, is in the written form. An added bonus i found for myself is that while using the discussion boards, is that you have to communicate well and clearly with a huge variety of people, mostly from the health care fields. I do not think I encountered another Occupational Therapist in my journey for this degree. This assignment demonstrates clear thought, and convincing argument for the subject matter. The post is about organ donors and if they should receive financial benefit for giving up of their body parts. I argued that people should be compensated for the donation of their body parts. One of my ideas for bringing some real life activity to the communication boards for some classes would be for students to hold live lectures or video their communication on a given subject matter. I am participating in more voice and video conference calls to bring my ideas to the table or receive needed information for my employment. This would fuse both the writing and verbal communication that is so critical for management in health care. To view the paper that goes with this activity, Please click here. Activity 3.3
