Weekly assigned homework was a consistent requirement, encompassing tasks from the PUBH dual enrollment course. Students were expected to participate in weekly virtual homework sessions to collaboratively address any questions. These sessions were mandatory to ensure that each student diligently worked towards completing all three dual enrollment courses to earn college credit.

In addition to the virtual sessions, various resources were available to support students, including access to online libraries, study guides, and tutoring services. Instructors were also available to answer any questions, and students were encouraged to contact them via call, text, or email.

In our PUBH 2181 course, students were assigned weekly homework that included a significant portion of the coursework. To ensure students' success, virtual homework sessions were held every Thursday evening, where students could work through questions and challenges together. These sessions were mandatory, as they provided a vital opportunity for students to receive support and guidance from their peers and instructors. Instructors were always available to answer any questions or concerns via email, creating a supportive learning environment that helped students successfully complete the course and earn college credit.

Daily case studies were included throughout the program, featuring applied problems that integrated multiple statistical concepts. Participants also completed two take‑home assignments. In addition, one final project was submitted at the end of the program, serving as a practical application assessment in which students identified a problem and analyzed real health data.
