METHOD OF EVALUATION
Laboratory Assignments
20%
Laboratory assignments reinforce the topic of the unit, and are listed in two locations: the
individual Unit folders under Course Content, and under the Assignment tab. Ensure that you
check both locations for assignments. This is an “all or nothing” grade. Each lab will be graded
individually; however, all labs must be completed in order to have the potential to receive the full
20% lab grade. It is not a “pick and choose which lab I want to complete” grade option. Labs not
submitted in Blackboard Assignments will not receive credit, thus losing the possibility of the
20% point value. Please read lab instructions carefully; labs completed incorrectly will not receive
full credit. If you have trouble submitting your lab assignment, call the 24-hour Blackboard
support phone number immediately for assistance. Waiting less than two hours before the
assignment deadline to call for support may result in not receiving credit for your assignments.
Submit labs early to avoid losing points. You will not be allowed to fax labs or drop labs off to the
instructor’s office. Make sure you are aware of the assignment due date, which is listed on the
assignment. LABS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED LATE.

Discussions
10%
Students will have the opportunity to participate in Discussion Postings. During the
course of the semester, each student will respond to the first discussion topic, “Introduce
Yourself.” Thereafter, the student will choose five discussions in which to participate. The
requirements are as follows: three of the posting submissions must happen before October 23,
2014; and at least one of the postings comes from Unit 6 (you have three choices for Unit 6 –
Part I, II, or III). Once the Discussion Assignment period opens, the student will have 48 hours to
respond to the topic posted by the instructor. In order to receive full credit for your posting: (1)
your answer must be specific to the topic, (2) be thorough to defend your position, and (3) must
be based on material you have read, heard, or watched. Discussions are available at 9:00 a.m.
and are due at 9:00 a.m., on the specified date. Choose you discussion participation carefully.
Do not post more than five (5), as your gradebook will record the first five ONLY (not including the
Introduction). If you post more than five (5), you are not able to follow the guidelines listed above.

Written Review
5%
Each student will prepare a written review on a selected piece of literature. The student
will research and read an article of their choice concerning issues or information about health,
wellness, or fitness. The student will then type a one page summary of the article. A conclusion
paragraph should be included at the end of the summary stating the student’s personal opinion of
the article and the relevance to the walking class. This assignment listed under the “Assignment”
tab in Blackboard, and complete instructions for this assignment may be found here.
Assignments may be turned in any time before due date. Deadline: BEFORE October 8, 2014.
Workout Log/Attendance
25%
Each student will complete a record of their physical activity (both resistance and cardio).
These logs are found from a printout on website (resistance log) and page 143 of the lab manual
(cardio log), and will serve as a reflection of your attendance. In order for the student to receive
credit for attendance for this hybrid course, the student must participate in two and one-half hours
total (50 minutes on-site; 50 minutes off-site [any day of the week]; 50 minutes every other
Wednesday on-site; and 50 minutes every other Wednesday off-site), per week, in resistance and
cardio exercise bouts. The on-site 50 minutes will be on Mondays, from 11:00 a.m. – 11:50 a.m.;
and every other Wednesday, 11:00 a.m. – 11:50 a.m., beginning the first week of school (a
discussion on this topic is later in the syllabus). The off-site time may be accumulated per week,
but, at the end of the week, the on-site and off-site time must total two and one-half hours per
week. This activity is to begin the first week of school, and you will be responsible for recording
on your log the first week of school. Please make extra copies of these logs, as there may not be
enough copies in the lab manual to last you the entire semester. If total time per week of physical
exercise does not total two and one-half (2 ½) hours, points will be deducted. On-site absences
will be reconciled during the last log check period.
After each exercise bout, the student will record the following information on their logs:
Resistance Log (assignment tab attachment): weight, sets, reps, and total time. The
total time you invest in resistance will be recorded in two places: (1) at the bottom of the
vertical column, on specified date, on your Resistance Log (printout); and, (2) on your
Cardio Log, in Column #7. Add this time to your cardio time for weekly totals.
Cardio Log (p. 143): the activity and the total cardio time invested. This time will be
added to the resistance time to have a total physical activity time to record on the cardio
log in the “Totals” column.

**All dates are subject to change.
The goal will be to post all grades on quizzes, assignments, discussions, etc. within a 48-hour
period from the time the assignment was due.
It is highly recommended that each student set up their own, personal calendar under the
“Calendar” tab in Blackboard. This allows students to keep track of due dates, assignments, etc.
ON-SITE CLASSROOM POLICY
Dress:
Appropriate clothing for weight training is required. This would include non-restrictive
workout clothing and proper footwear (warm-up pants, shorts, t-shirts, and tennis shoes). No
jeans, slacks, cutoffs, belts, boots, or sandals will be allowed. If proper attire is not worn, you
may not participate, and you will be marked absent from the class. Tennis shoes are
MANDATORY.
Supplies:
Workout Towel – MANDATORY each day
Pocket Folder with pencil inside pocket – MANDATORY each day
Water bottles, watches, gloves, belt, etc., are optional
* The absence of supplies and proper clothing will impact participation grade.
Daily Sign-in Policy
Attendance is taken at the beginning of each class, and you will be expected to sign the
attendance sheet at that time. Upon entering the classroom, sign the attendance sheet and take
personal folder. You are allowed to sign in only when you are ready to begin your workout.
When class time begins, a “tardy line” will be marked, and all names below the tardy line will be
counted late.
Tardy Policy
Class begins promptly at the scheduled time. If you arrive 1-10 minutes after scheduled
class time, you will receive a tardy. After that time, the sign-in sheet will be taken up, and the
student will be counted absent for that class period. Three (3) tardies will equal one (1) absence.
Attendance, Participation, and Punctuality
This course is designed as an activity class. The class structure is designed to allow for
active participation by each student. If you attend class, you are required to participate. Lack of
effort, enthusiasm, or desire to improve, will result in a deduction from the attendance grade. Do
not attend class if you are not prepared to participate.
Attendance is taken at the beginning of each class and you will be expected to sign the
attendance sheet at that time. If you arrive to class one to 10 minutes beyond the scheduled
starting time, you will be marked tardy. Three (3) tardies result in one (1) absence. The sign-in
sheet is taken up at that time, and arrival any time beyond the ten (10) minute tardy time, you will
be marked absent.
In order to receive attendance credit for the day, you must stay for the entire class. If for
any reason you leave and do not finish the allotted time period, you will be marked absent for the
entire class period.
This portion of your grade is included in the 25 points that may be earned as described
under the “Workout Log/Attendance” on-line section of the syllabus. Classes that meet on-site
one (1) time a week will have one (1) “free” on-site absence. This absence may be used at the
student’s discretion. Thereafter, absences numbers two (2) and three (3) will result in 5 points
each being deducted from the 25 point total. With the fourth absence, regardless of make-ups,
the student will not receive credit for the class and will receive a grade of “F.” In addition, the
student will have the opportunity to make up one (1) on-site absence. Please see the instructor
to schedule a time and day. Make-up deadline is November 18, 2014.
You may repeat this course only once after receiving a grade, including a “Withdrawal”
grade.
Electronic Devices
Absolutely NO electronic devices allowed in class.
Upon Review of This Syllabus
You Should
1. DESIGN PERSONAL CALENDAR - Enter activities and dates on Calendar offered within
your Blackboard course.
2. Read it again thoroughly. Make sure you are clear about the expectations of the course
and are willing to put in the time necessary to do well. Late assignments or excuses will
not be accepted. Remember, you are completing the same amount of work as the onsite classes. Time management is essential. You are required to use a scanner to

submit some portions of your work. In the beginning, this takes a lot of time. If you
are not familiar with using a scanner, get familiar ASAP or consider an on-site class.
Develop an emergency plan for submitting your work. Find out campus library hours in
advance so that you can use campus computers or scanners if you run into problems.
Know where the closest Fed-Ex Office is in case the campus libraries are closed. Identify
someone who will be willing to assist you if you are not familiar with word documents,
scanning, or Blackboard. Computer problems are no excuse! All work must be
submitted inside Blackboard in the correct format for credit. Submit work early to ensure
you won’t lose points.
Print a hardcopy of the syllabus. Keep it in a place you can refer to often. Highlight
discussion & assignment due dates. Be sure to download an updated copy inside
Blackboard once classes start.
Purchase the required text for the course (see page 1 of syllabus).
Make sure your computer is ready to work! If you have pop-up blockers, you will want to
disable them. If you need further instruction, call the Distance Learning Dept.
Complete the Medical History Form inside Blackboard. The front and top half of the back
side must be submitted BEFORE any other assignment is accepted. If a physician’s
approval is needed, I will advise you of that necessity. You must complete the form &
physically initial/sign where required. Scanning this document is a requirement. If
you do not have access to a scanner, feel free to use the LRC on any of the 3 campuses,
go to Fed-Ex Office (or a similar place), or borrow. The medical history form will only be
accepted inside Blackboard in Assignments. Please do not send an e-mail with your
form attached inside or outside of Blackboard. Be sure to physically sign & initial the
required spots!
Complete the Course Agreement, located in Unit 1, and submit.
