๐Ÿ—“ week in review – spring 2025, week 1

I’ll try to do this series as time allows, but I’m excited to share how my first week back in graduate school has gone, so here goes:

what did I do this week?

  • Met with a program advisor
  • Wrapped up 2 classes and completed all assignments on time
  • Finished module 1 readings, videos, and lectures
  • Reached out to a public health leader for a qualitative methods assignment
  • Started my Zotero library to collect articles I learn about in class and those I find for my thesis project

what worked?

Starting early (prepping notes, completing required readings, etc.)

what didn’t work?

Wrapping assignments up on Sunday

what can I do to improve or will try to improve?

Do daily check-ins and work on my required readings and setting my notes and assignments early, submitting by Saturday

what did I listen to, to get through the week?

what interesting article or quote did I come across?

“What we, as a society, do collectively to assure conditions in which people can be healthy” (IOM, 1988). A well-known (though not the oldest) definition of public health.

To your salud & success,
