A world view is a fundamental or basic orientation of thinking – like a mindset – which guides a culture and / or a person’s life. Like a point of view, it can be built of concepts, ideas, values, emotions, and ethics. “Weltanschauung” is the German word for this idea. Your goal for this course is to understand the world views of these various religions. In order to prepare you for your final assignment, you will outline the world views of various religions in the chart below, adding to it each week.

 

For this assignment, students will complete the weekly area of the chart, filling in the aspects of each religion as it is presented in the readings and resources. This chart, when complete, will be the starting point for the written assignment, due in Week 10.

 

For each weekly submission:

 

Review the weekly lectures and supplemental materials provided, then complete the chart by elaborating on each section related to the weekly content.

 

Identify key details and examples from the weekly resources to serve as a basis for the content being recorded in your chart.

 

Write clearly and coherently using correct grammar, punctuation, spelling, and mechanics.

 

The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:

Discuss project management tools that will help you accomplish this task and conduct a risk analysis of what can go wrong during a healthcare information system acquisition.

 

College Level Learning and Your Learning Autobiography

 

Think back to your first week at a new job. Reflect on the entire experience from training, interaction with coworkers, adjusting to a new environment and anything else you remember. Write a one paragraph autobiography about your first week.

Describe the specific skills, knowledge, and abilities you learned and demonstrated during that first week.
