Homework 3 - Your Well-Being

Due: Monday October 10, 2011 at 3:00pm

Create a group of up to 4 students. Each group will only need to submit one write-up. Turn to page 47 in Runner Life and complete the following three activities:

  1. Staying in College - Choose one of the four clusters that lead to students dropping out: adjustment, difficulty, incongruence, isolation. Brainstorm, discuss, and evaluate various strategies to help overcome your chosen cluster.
  2. Physical Health - Choose a location on or near campus where a student can exercise or eat a healthy meal. Research the specific details of that location (which can include photographs).
  3. Emotional Health - If a student is experiencing stress, besides going to the Counseling Center, what else can he or she do to help him or her deal with this stress? Choose a location on or near campus where a student can ease stress. Research the specific details of that location (which can include photographs).
Instead of a presentation in front of the class (as indicated on page 47), write up a small report (1-2 pages) about what you have discovered for each activity. One student from the group will email that report to me, making sure to CC all of the students in the group.
