In some cases, solutions to homework assignments, quizzes and exams are only discussed and presented in the classroom, and not made available in print or electronic format to JHSPH students--or to the worldwide community of visitors to the JHSPH OCW website. In other cases, the instructors plan to re-use the assignments, quizzes and exams in their JHSPH classrooms, and so do not wish to widely publish their solutions.

Because JHSPH OCW is not a distance-learning or degree-granting initiative, there is no registration process required for users to view course materials. JHSPH OCW is a publication of the course materials that support the dynamic classroom interactions of a JHSPH education. JHSPH OCW is available on the Web, free of charge, to any user anywhere in the world.

JHSPH OCW can be considered a large-scale, Web-based publication of the course materials that support a JHSPH education. Educators are encouraged to use the materials for curriculum development, while students can augment their current learning by making use of the materials offered, and self-learners are encouraged to draw upon the JHSPH OCW for self-study or supplementary use.

Although video lectures are useful for students, JHSPH OCW does not include video lectures in every course for several reasons. First is the issue of bandwidth. We are very much focused on making JHSPH's course materials as accessible as possible to users all over the world, including the developing world.

JHSPH asks that any JHSPH OCW materials translated into other languages from the original English be accompanied by the following disclaimer: "These JHSPH OpenCourseWare course materials have been translated into [YOUR LANGUAGE] by [YOUR INSTITUTION].

JHSPH OCW course sites work on both the Macintosh and Windows platforms. Although higher-speed connections are preferable, slower connections, such as 28K modems, should allow users to view most materials on the sites. However, downloading materials may take somewhat longer. JHSPH OCW has tested the course sites with Netscape version 4.75 and Internet Explorer version 5.5 browsers.

No. Participation of JHSPH faculty in JHSPH OCW is voluntary; however, judging by the number of JHSPH faculty who already actively use the Web in their teaching, we expect that within 10 years virtually all JHSPH courses will be available on the JHSPH OCW website. Professional Web design and production resources are available to JHSPH faculty to develop and maintain the JHSPH OCW course sites, and JHSPH is committed to the long-term support of the JHSPH OCW educational environment.

Although JHSPH OCW cannot answer all Web enquiries, we encourage users to provide feedback on the site and the published course materials. The comments and constructive criticism of users will help the JHSPH OCW staff improve the site and published course materials as the OCW project continues to evolve during the early phases of this initiative.

Metadata is, literally, "data about data." Metadata can be better understood as information that describes other information. For example, this Web page of FAQs for JHSPH OCW has an author, a title, a date of creation and a unique Internet address; this information constitutes the metadata about this page. Working with the JHSPH Libraries, JHSPH OCW has implemented a strong set of metadata, enabling sophisticated, powerful and accurate searches across course content materials.

Each course has one or more module assessment exams that are an "open book" set of questions you must answer online before receiving your certificate. Move at your own pace and review the lectures and study guide materials as many times as you want. The materials are yours, so take your time!

Enabled by Internet technologies, JHSPH OCW is building a new electronic publishing model for educational materials. While JHSPH OCW's published content is already providing value to users, over the next 5 to 10 years, the published content, technology and processes will become increasingly more robust. JHSPH OCW is built on a single, searchable organizing structure with technology that is scalable to include virtually all JHSPH's graduate- and undergraduate-level courses.

JHSPH is committed to JHSPH OCW remaining a free and openly available publication of the course materials that support the dynamic Web site interactions of a JHSPH education. Even as we continue to grow and evolve, our OCW materials will always remain free and open to all.

Because JHSPH OCW is not a distance-learning or degree-granting initiative, users do not have to register to view course materials. There are also no prerequisites for users who want to use JHSPH OCW course materials in their own learning. If you would like to read about the prerequisites that JHSPH students must have completed before taking individual courses, please visit the online JHSPH Catalog.

The underlying premise and purpose of JHSPH OCW is to make course materials used in JHSPH courses freely and openly available to others for non-commercial educational purposes. Through JHSPH OCW, JHSPH grants the right to anyone to use the materials, either "as is," or in a modified form. There is no restriction on how a user can modify the materials for the user's purpose.

If you choose to reuse or repost JHSPH OCW materials, you must give proper attribution to the original JHSPH faculty author(s). Please use the following citation: "This material was created by, or adapted from material created by, JHSPH faculty member (Name), (Title), (Year). Copyright © (Year) (Faculty Member's Name)."

The intent of JHSPH OCW is that our website should reflect the course materials that are being taught at JHSPH. The reason for this policy is that the materials presented on the JHSPH OCW site are authored by members of the JHSPH faculty; therefore, our faculty will take final responsibility for these materials. It would be difficult for JHSPH OCW to guarantee the accuracy and originality of materials we received from outside sources.

The JHSPH OCW technology solution supports a complex publishing process. This is a large-scale digital publishing infrastructure that consists of planning tools, a content management system (CMS), and the JHSPH OCW content distribution infrastructure. The current solution uses a four-person technical support team managing all aspects of this infrastructure.

The fonts and style of the JHSPH OCW website have been specifically selected to meet certain design and accessibility standards. The JHSPH OCW team has tested both the site and these standards across a wide variety of browsers and platforms. However, some users may still find that their browser configurations continue to display too-small text. You can change the displayed font size by using your browser's View menu. In Netscape 7, there is a "VIEW - Text-Zoom" selection (try 120%).

It is generous of you to offer a financial contribution to support JHSPH OCW. This is a wonderful endorsement of what we hope to achieve. If you wish to make such a donation, please use the "Giving to JHSPH" website. Use the site's secure, online giving form at http://www.jhsph.edu/Giving. When filling out the gift form, the JHSPH OCW fund name is "OpenCourseWare."

There will be one exam while we are in Europe. We will have an exam on Monday 14 May before we leave on Tuesday 15 May.

With four disciplines each having about three exams, multiple quizzes, several benchmarks, and written work, it is impossible to evenly spread the work across the weeks in the semester. We do have empathy and try to avoid direct major conflicts, if possible. We also recognize that spreading the load is largely your responsibility. It is your job to read the material as assigned, to study as the course progresses, and to divide the work into manageable amounts.

I will post on the web the solutions to quizzes. I don't have any printed solutions to the suggested assignments or to the unit tests. You may see me during my office hours to discuss your solutions to these problems. No, your computer is fine. Graphs are extremely difficult to draw in the typesetting program (it's called LaTex) that I am using to prepare these solutions.

Prior to making any course materials publicly available, the JHSPH OCW team extensively reviews all materials to determine the correct ownership of the materials and obtain the appropriate licenses to make the materials openly available on the Web. We will promptly remove any material that is determined to be infringing on the rights of others. If you believe that any portion of the JHSPH OCW materials infringes on another's copyright, please fill out our feedback form.

The information we learn from visitors helps us improve the JHSPH OCW site, and assists our foundation sponsors in evaluating the usage, access and impact of JHSPH OCW on the worldwide educational community. JHSPH OCW collects the following information from visitors: Information You Provide: We receive and store any information you enter on our website or give us in any other way.

The best way to study is to (i) be able to do all of the assigned homework and (ii) have a general conceptual understanding of the material (i.e., definitions and interpretations, not just numerical computations). First, try to do the problem yourself, using only what you would normally have at your disposal on a quiz or an exam. If you get stuck, consult the textbook and your notes. You, of course, are welcome to come see me for more thorough assistance.

This Traffic School course is designed in 6 sections. Each section has a 10 question practice quiz (multiple-choice and true/false). In each section there will be a KEYWORD which you should write down when you come across it in the section chapter text, because you will need to answer the KEYWORD question correctly prior to beginning each quiz. The final exam consists of 25 questions taken directly from the chapter quizzes. You must pass the final exam with a score of 80% or higher.

A.This is absolutely essential as this is the only way you can check yourself. Also through this means we would understand your needs, and thereby upgrade ourselves, solving every tiny query you may have. These assignments are graded and will be checked by the expert. It is only after he has accepted them, that you will receive the certificate from us.

All exams and quizzes can be done in the student’s home community (including practical exams). Please note, however, that students residing in the St. John’s area will complete their practical exams with their instructors at the Prince Phillip Drive Campus unless other arrangements are made).

JHSPH OCW differs from other institutional Web-based education offerings because it is free and accessible to all, because of its depth and breadth, and because it takes an institutional approach to online course publication. JHSPH OCW is not a distance-learning initiative. Distance learning involves the active exchange of information between faculty and students, with the goal of obtaining some type of credential or diploma.
