Course modules will be made available to students on Sunday of each week. Class work must be completed before the following Monday. Students will not be able to work ahead of the class although reading assignments will be made available in advance.

Graded assignments will consist of one quiz for each module and participation in at least two class discussions. Students should provide at least 4 contributions to the class discussions each week to gain the maximum points.

Students learn more and learn better when they discuss the topic at hand. For that reason, I consider the regular weekly discussions to be even more important than the weekly quizzes.

Your overall grade in the course will be determined by the total number of points you have accumulated on quizzes and assignments.

STUDENT REVIEWS

"Risk management and problem solving may seem like it would be obvious information but this course really helped breakdown all aspects and how to properly identify and handle. I also really gained a realization of how important risk management is on the job site – mostly from reading classmate’s stories of real life situations where injury occurred and the overall costs of that injury."

"This course was actually one of the more informative classes that I have taken since starting school again. I enjoyed all of the feedback from everyone that was taking this course and learned a lot from everyone. I learned that you always need to communicate with your coworkers and try to come up with the best solution for a problem and that not one person will always have the right answer. Communication is key!I learned that a crisis management plan is needed on every job site. Anything can happen at any moment and having a plan in place can help save someone’s life."

"One new thing I learned, and the most valuable lesson I took from this class, was how to break down a project for risk assessment and how to trace back issues to their source. This kind of critical thinking and logical process, to me, is invaluable as a step-by-step method for analysis and makes tackling a large problem more manageable."

"The proactive problem solving module was especially important for me. I (and probably most people) prefer to be proactive in their approach to a project. I doubt anyone likes to always be on their heels, running around on a fire drill, it makes life extremely stressful and burns you out quick. "
