Any announcements about class will go through the Campus Student Email Policy. Student Email Policy: Dakota College at Bottineau is increasingly dependent upon email as an official form of communication. A student’s campus-assigned email address will be the only one recognized by the campus for official mailings. The liability for missing or not acting upon important information conveyed via campus email rests with the student. Title IX: Dakota College at Bottineau (DCB) faculty are committed to helping create a safe learning environment for all students and for the college as a whole. If you have experienced any form of gender or sex-based discrimination or harassment, including non-consensual sexual intercourse, sexual harassment, relationship violence, or stalking, know that help and support are available. DCB has staff members trained to support survivors in navigating campus life, accessing health and counseling services, providing academic and housing accommodations, and more. The College strongly encourages all students to report any such incidents to the College Title IX Coordinator. Please be aware that all DCB employees (other than those designated as confidential resources such as advocates, counselors, clergy and healthcare providers) are required to report information about such discrimination and harassment to the College Title IX Coordinator. This means that if you tell a faculty member about a situation of sexual harassment or sexual violence, or other related misconduct, the faculty member must share that information with the College’s Title IX Coordinator. If you wish to speak to a confidential employee who does not have this reporting responsibility, you can find a list of resources on the Title IX website . www.dakotacollege.edu/student- life/safety/title-ix Tentative Course Outline Week 1-4 Syllabus overview Chapter 1 - Achieving Personal Health Chapter 2 - Mind-Body Communications Chapter 3 - Restoring Mind-Body Harmony Chapter 4 - Mental Health and Awareness Week 5-6 Chapter 5 – Choosing a Nutritious Diet Chapter 6 – Managing a Healthy Weight Chapter 7 – Movement and Physical Activity for Health Week 7-11 Chapter 8 Sexuality & Intimate Relationships Chapter 9 Understanding Pregnancy & Parenthood Chapter 10 Choosing a Fertility Control Method Chapter 11 Protecting against STD’s Week 12-13 Chapter 12 Reducing Infections & Building Immunity Chapter 13 Cancer: Risks & Prevention Week 14 - 16 Chapter 14 Cardiovascular Diseases Chapter 15 Heredity & Disease Chapter 16 Using Drugs Responsibly Chapter 17 Eliminating Tobacco Use Chapter 18 Using Alcohol Responsibly TBD Chapter 19 Making Decisions About Health Care Chapter 20 Exploring Alternative Medicines Chapter 21 Accidents & Injuries Chapter 22 Understanding Aging & Dying Chapter 23 Violence in Our Society Chapter 24 Working toward a Healthy Environment
