  1. Dear Professor:

    My name is Jenny and I am an undergraduate Business Administration major; I just added this course and was wondering if there are any assignments or exams in order to receive a pass in this course?

    Hope to hear from you soon.

    Thank you!

    Jenny

    1. Hi Jenny, in addition to class participation, all students are expected to complete a course project describing or demonstrating a specific intersection between information and health or healthcare. This can take the form of a blog, wiki, infographic, app, etc. If you have further questions, please feel free to email me or ask questions after lecture next Friday.

      Best regards,
      Sean Hennessey
