University policy requires that experiences equivalent to three hours each week must be completed. In order to fulfill the time requirements students are expected to attend all three-hour class meetings or complete equivalent online assignments. HLTH 205_01_2011– Health & Wellness Pag: 081011 2 Fall 2011 106755842 FOUR IN CLASS EXAMS (400 points): There will be four tests, including the final, worth 100 points each. See the class calendar for the Chapters of the required text and reading assignments. Each test may include a mix of a.) multiple choice, b.) true/false, c) listing, d) matching, and e) short answer. Online quizzes will provide examples of pools of questions that will be used in these tests. ONLINE QUIZZES (240 points): As part of the online course, students have been assigned reading in addition to that schedule for review in class. Quizzes must be completed by the date they are due (Saturday). Twenty-four quizzes worth ten points each will be completed online based on all assigned weekly readings. These coincide with the topic/s being reviewed in-class during the assigned week. One quiz is provided for each of the twenty-four chapters included in the text. Each quiz will only be available for completion during the period prior to and on the date scheduled for the quiz and is timed to allow 20 minutes to complete ten or more True-False and Multiple Choice Questions. Quizzes will not be reopened after the due date unless the student provides a written explanation of the absence. Students are encouraged to complete these quizzes using the text and other available resources to insure accuracy. It is expected that you will complete this activity independent of other classmates. Each quiz will be scored online and available for you to review immediately. ASSESSMENTS (100 points): Ten assessments are to be completed during this period. Each will be worth 10 points. Two will be required; eight will be your choice. All assessments (Wellness Worksheets) are to be accessed using the Blackboard link (see the Assignments Folder) or the assigned connect web link link: http://connect.mcgrawhill.com/class/p_gapinski_section_1_mwf_1-150_pm Each chapter will have up to three assessment (Wellness Worksheets) choices to select from. (See the list below, p. 5) Each student may select from any of these activities and complete it within connect as identified in the course schedule during the grading period. The deadline for final submission of all internet-based assessments is November 14, 2010. Each will be graded using the following rubric grading system: Completed as Required (10-9 pts.)

This paper can be submitted at any tie but no later than November 19, 2011. COMMUNICATION SKILLS PRACTICUM (Substitute for November 6, 2011 meeting date). One Communication Skills Practicum experience is tentatively scheduled for Thursday, September 22, 2011, 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM or Saturday, September 24 2011, time to be determined. This class meeting will replace November 11, 2011 class meeting. Participating in this three-hour experience will provide participants an opportunity to practice communication shills that will be modeled in class. The proposed date and time will be confirmed during the second week of class. Sixty points will be awarded for attendance and participation in all sessions of the practicum. Spouse or friends are invited to attend. No children or cell phones, please! ATTENDANCE: Attendance will be recorded each session and students are expected to attend all classroom classes. For this 16-week class, you cannot miss more than four (4) class meetings during the semester. Students are encouraged to attend all class meetings. Any student that misses more than 4 classes will receive one letter grade lower for each absence than the computed average for the final grade (e.g., five absences – one letter grade lower). Should the need arise for a student to be absent from class the student is responsible for the material covered in class as well as any assignments due on the day he/she was absent and on subsequent class meetings. If HLTH 205_01_2011– Health & Wellness Pag: 081011 3 Fall 2011 106755842 25% of the scheduled classes have been missed for excused or unexcused absences during the entire course, an “F” will be given. An absence must be considered excused if it is for one of the authorized activities listed in the "Longwood Attendance Procedures" and the procedures detailed in that section have been followed. An absence may also be considered excused if deemed so by the instructor. A typed memo/letter (including supporting documentation) should be submitted to the instructor (not by email) within one week of the absence. Students are responsible for obtaining material presented during the missed class. Makeup for missed exams and assignments will not be allowed unless prior permission for the absence is provided and approved. In the event of a missed exam the student must notify the instructor within 24 hours of the completion of the exam or the student will receive a zero. BLACKBOARD: This course is considered a hybrid using Web-based software, which integrates course materials with Blackboard communication tools. Blackboard will allow students to access all information related to this course including: grades, attendance, course syllabus, online quizzes, internet assessments and the ability to communicate with other students on topics identified by the instructor. Throughout the course announcements and discussion topics will appear on the Blackboard. Students are responsible to check for these weekly. These features will be discussed in class during the first and second class meetings. COMMUNICATION BY EMAIL: Students are encouraged to utilize electronic mail as the primary mode of communication during this course. However, two very important points must be made regarding email communication. First, all communication should take place using the email address provided to you by the university. Second, all email communications to your instructor should include the following information within the subject heading: Course Name, Course Section, Student's Last NameFirst Initial, and Content of Message (e.g., HLTH20501_GapinskiP_Question About the Syllabus). CLASSROOM BEHAVIOR/DECORUM: Student behavior that interferes with either the ability of the instructor to conduct class or the ability of students to benefit from instruction is not acceptable. Examples include routinely entering class late or leaving class early, use of cell phones and other electronic devices, repeatedly talking in class without being recognized, talking while others are speaking, or arguing/commenting in a way that is perceived as crossing civility lines. The classroom is not a place for children. If children require care, the student is expected to provide that care in an environment other than the classroom. ACADEMIC MISCONDUCT: The academic community relies on a high standard of integrity. One of the most important aspects of this integrity concerns the just measure of each student's academic accomplishments, typically evaluated through written examination or submitted work. It is essential that instructors be assured the work used to evaluate a student's performance is genuinely his/her own. Cheating on exams, attempting to benefit from the work of another student, or other behavior that defeats the intent of an exam or assignment is unacceptable. These offenses include plagiarism, improper acknowledgement of sources, the submission of a paper or project in more than one course without permission, or failing to complete work as assigned (e.g., individually). Penalties for academic misconduct are serious and include receiving an F in the course and referral to the Honor Code Board. Special Educational Needs and Accommodations: “Any student who feels s/he may need an accommodation based on the impact of a physical, psychological, medical, or learning disability should contact Dr. Sally Scott, Director of the Office for Disability Services (103 Graham Building. Phone: 395-2391) to register for services.” HLTH 205_01_2011– Health & Wellness Pag: 081011 4 Fall 2011 106755842 HS 205-01_2011F - Health & Wellness - Class and Assignments Schedule Week 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 11 12 13 14 MWF Dates: 8/22 & 24/11 8/26/11 8/29/11 8/31/11 & 9/2/11 9/5/11 9//7/11 9/9/11 9/12&14/11 9/16/11 9/19/11 9/21 & 23/11 Times 9-9:50 AM Meetings #1& 2 Meeting #3 Meeting #4 Meeting #5 & 6 Chapters Reviewed in Class Introduction, Chapter 1, p.1-28 Chapter 2, pp. 33-59 Chapter 2 (Continued) Chapter 3, pp. 63-90 LABOR DAY Meeting #7 Meetings #8 Meetings #9 & 10 Meeting #11 Meeting #12 Meetings #13 & 14 NO CLASSES Chapter 3, (Continued) Chapter 4, pp. 95-120 Chapter 5, pp. 123-151 Chapter 6, pp. 155-186 Chapter 6, (Continued) Chapter 7, pp. 189-202 9/26/11 9/28 & 9/30/11 10/3/11 10/5 &7/11 Meeting #15 Meetings #16 & 17 Meeting #18 Meetings #19 & 20 Chapter 8, pp.205-234 Chapter 18, pp. 540-567 Test 1 (Chapters 1-8, 18) Chapter 9, pp. 237-249 10/10 - 11/11 10/12 & 14/11 Meetings #21 & 22 10/17/11 10/19 & 21/11 10/24/11 10/26 & 28/11 Meeting #23 Meetings #24 & 25 Meeting # 26 Meetings #27 & 28 10/31 &11/2/11 11/4/11 11/7/11 11/9/11 11/ 11/11 11/14/11 11/16 & 18/11 Meetings # 29 & 30 Meeting # 31 Meeting #32 Meeting # 33 NO CLASS Meeting #34 Meeting #35 & 36 Chapter 14, pp. 407-439 Chapter 15, pp. 441-470 Chapter 15, (Continued) Chapter 16, pp. 476-504 VAAHPERD Conference Test 3 (Chapters 13-16) Chapter 17, pp. 507-536 Meeting #37 Chapter 20, pp. 599-628 15 HLTH205-01_2010F PAG: 081810 11/21/11 Outside Class/Online Activities Assessment: Complete #1 (Required) Assessment: Complete #2 Choice Online Quiz #1 – Introductory Quiz Assessment: Complete #3 Choice Online Quizzes 2 & 3: Chapters 1 & 2 due 9/3/11 Online Quizzes #4 & 5: Chapters 3 & 4 due 9/10/11 Online Quiz 6: Chapter 5 due 9/17/11 Assessment: Complete #4 (Required) Online Quizzes 7 & 8: Chapters 6 & 7 due 9/24/11 Required Communications Skills Practicum 9/22/11 2:00 PM -5:00 PM or 9/24/11 Time to TBD Online Quizzes 9 &10: Chapters 8 & 18 due 10/1/11 Extra Credit - Library DVD Viewing -In the Womb due 10/2/11 Assessments: Complete #5 & 6.
