and physiological and kinesiological functioning
2. Student will kinesiologically analyze real-life examples of movement
3. Student will recognize and analyze key elements in combinations of motor skills,
demonstrations of agility and balance, and dance steps and sequences
4. Student will comprehend and apply mathematical, physical, and mechanical
principles that relate to kinesiological analysis
5. Student will apply kinesiological principles to design, adapt, and modify activities
that promote cardiovascular endurance, flexibility, posture, and improve muscular
strength and endurance
6. Student will analyze and synthesize selected topics through laboratory experiments.
7. Students will recognize characteristics and elements of locomotor, nonlocomotor,
body control, manipulative, and rhythmic skills
14. Attendance Requirements:
A. Students should make every effort to attend all class meetings. Any student who
misses twenty–five (25%) or more of the regularly scheduled class meetings will
receive a grade of F for that course.
a. Tardies: Roll will be taken at the beginning of class. If you walk in late and
attendance has already been taken, you must make a point to see the professor
after class so that you are marked off as being at class, however, you will be
counted as tardy. Failure to see the instructor after class if you missed roll call
will result in being marked as absent that day. NOTE: *2 tardies = 1
absence!*
B. Work due when a student is scheduled to be absent for any reason should be turned-in
before the class meets. LATE WORK WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED FOR PLANNED
ABSENCES, INCLUDING ATHLETIC EVENTS. If you are ill or have an
unplanned absence, all work must be turned-in BEFORE the next class meeting.
15. Disability Statement:
In compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA), it is the policy of
Wayland Baptist University that no otherwise qualified person with a disability be
excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subject to discrimination
under any educational program or activity in the university. The Coordinator of
Counseling Services serves as the coordinator of students with a disability and should be
contacted concerning accommodation requests at (806) 291-3765. Documentation of a
disability must accompany any request for accommodations.
16. Course Requirements and Grading Criteria:
A. Enigmas – will assess competencies 1, 4, 5, & 7
a. Given at the start of the class (usually Wednesdays)
b. Cover concepts from reading that was due
c. May only be made up before graded enigmas have been returned to class
d. Will work in groups and may use any available resources except instructor
e. 10, worth 10 points each
i. If more than 10 are assigned, only the best 10 grades will be counted
B. Lab Participation – will assess competencies 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, & 7
a. Friday Labs
b. Must be submitted no later than the scheduled start of the next class meeting
following the lab date
c. 12, worth 40 points each
C. Examinations – will assess competencies 1, 3, 4, 5, & 7
a. 3 Unit Exams, worth 100 points each
b. Final worth 120 points
D. Extra Credit – may be awarded at the instructor’s discretion for course-related
activities that are beyond the mandatory elements of any concurrent course or activity
a. Student must pre-approve extra-credit opportunity and confirm possible points
b. Up to a maximum of 50 points
c. 2 suggestions:
i. “My Muscle Book” – you can compile a notebook for ALL of the
muscle diagrams completed through the course’s weekly labs. This
would be an excellent study/reference guide
ii. “Nerve Map” – you can draw a roadmap for all of the nerves. This
would include the vertebral roots, branches and bundles, and muscle
fiber innervations. This would be a great help in any of the therapy
sciences – especially when diagnosing neural problems.
d. Must be completed and submitted before the scheduled start of the final
regularly scheduled class meeting.
E. 1000 Total Points Possible
A: 900-1000 pts
B: Fewer than 900 points
C: Fewer than 800 points
D: Fewer than 700 points
F: Fewer than 600 points, or absent more than 25% of class time
F. Grade Appeals: Students shall have protection through orderly procedures against
prejudices or capricious academic evaluation. A student who believes that he or she
has not been held to realistic academic standards, just evaluation procedures, or
appropriate grading, may appeal the final grade given in the course by using the
student grade appeal process described in the Academic Catalog. Appeals may not be
made for advanced placement examinations or course bypass examinations. Appeals
are limited to the final course grade, which may be upheld, raised, or lowered at any
stage of the appeal process. Any recommendation to lower a course grade must be
submitted through the Executive Vice President/Provost to the Faculty Assembly
Grade Appeals Committee for review and approval. The Faculty Assembly Grade
Appeals Committee may instruct that the course grade be upheld, raised, or lowered
to a more proper evaluation.
