| What aspects of
the teaching or content of this course do you feel were especially
good?
Fall 2003 letter from student
- Dr. Aud, I wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed gerontology
this
semester. I felt that you really conveyed how much you care
about
aging adults and their wellbeing. I can honestly say that
I always
enjoyed elderly people before, but I had not considered
gerontology as
a career. Now, it is a strong contender to the NICU as a
potential career path for me.
Winter 2004 (accelerated option students)
- The teaching not only provided factual information, but
it also challenged us by addressing moral and ethical issues.
- Although I was hesitant about spending an entire semester
on geriatric content, I have really enjoyed the content
and have learned a great deal from guest speakers and clinical
site staff, all of whom are so passionate about the field.
I appreciate the exposure to geriatric assessment; this
population deserves our best, so we must be able to assess
their symptoms properly. I thank you for the course's organization
and well thought out lesson plans.
Winter 2004 (generic BSN program students)
- I enjoyed talking to my long-term care resident and felt
good that I made her day by coming to visit her.
- Great course - I now realize the need for improved care
of the elderly.
- I especially loved the video on the centenarians -it created
the perfect mood.
- The course content helps us in both inpatient hospitals
and nursing homes.
- Guest speakers told stories that were helpful in explaining
concepts.
- Course instructor is passionate about gerontology. She
has a caring personality for the older adult.
- Course instructor always demonstrated a positive attitude
and enthusiasm about course content.
- I thoroughly enjoyed the end of life video.
Fall, 2004 (generic BSN program students)
- I really like gerontology now. I enjoyed the senior home
care visits because we got the chance to talk with patients
and to learn from our nurse mentors.
- I really enjoyed the visits to the retirement apartment
community. Its healthy, active residents show us the positive
side of aging.
- The visits to the retirement apartment community helped
dispel our aging stereotypes.
