Grading Scheme
Final grades will be based on attendance and participation.
Grades to be given for activity classes: Pass (S); Fail (E)
Course Policies
Attendance Policy: There are NO excused absences in Physical Education classes because they are graded as pass
or fail and based solely on attendance. Students may miss three (one hour sessions – MTU’s 50 minute sessions)
and still pass the class. If students miss more than that they will fail the course. The exception to this is if the
student has an extenuating circumstance that has been documented through the Dean of Students’ Office. In those
cases, a plan to make up the missed sessions will be developed by the course instructor.
In the case of 2 hour classes, students can only miss one session.
It is strongly recommended that students not waste their allowable absences!
Medical Attention Policy: It is the policy of the Kinesiology & Integrative Physiology Department that if a student
needs medical attention during class, it is the responsibility of the student to seek medical attention. In case of
serious injury, we will call an ambulance (8-911) and Public Safety (123). If you have any physical conditions that I
should know about, i.e., diabetic, asthma, heart condition, injuries, please let me know. Confidence will be
maintained.
Collaboration/Plagiarism Rules
Not applicable to PE activity courses. However, cell phones, Blackberries, iPods, PDAs, or any other electronic
devices are not to be used during class periods.
University Policies

handled in accordance the University's policies.
