General Information: Issues in Sport is an Internet and/or TeleWeb
course focusing on major social and ethical issues relating to sport. There
are no class meetings. Course content comes from weekly television
broadcasts (or through viewing the programs on available DVDs), and from
the required textbook, study guide (E-copies of both books are on the
Issues in Sport web site on Blackboard) and accompanying
tutorial/supplemental DVD, web site and interaction with Mr. Mertzman and
classmates via the internet. On-line quizzes, participation in internet
discussion areas, on-line activities with assessments and on-line final
exam make up your grade. Mr. Mertzman and the staff at academic
computing will be available to help you get started if you should have any
problems.
How the course works: Only Hillsborough County students who have
Bright House cable television can watch weekly broadcasts of Sports and
Society Video Programs on by the Education Channel. The schedule is
Tuesday 1:00 PM – 2:30 PM.
If you want to have all the video programs you can purchase the series on
DVD alone from philosophylab.com or the series comes with all the other
class materials in the Issues in Sport Autonomy Pack (cheapest way to get
all the material for the class). Both are available from the publisher at
http://www.philosophylab.com, or you can rent the series in VHS from
http://www.rmimedia.com.
The video series used in this course is entitled Sports and Society: Ethics,
Management and Decision Making. It, consists of 26 half-hour programs
focusing on Issues in Sport. The video series takes the approach of a
student participating in a conference with experts from many fields as they
discuss issues in sport. The accompanying textbook and study guide are
linked closely with the video programs and the web site. The web site
integrates information from the study guide, text and video programs plus
recent developments and is the main source of interaction in this course.
Note that the web site provides additional testable information regarding
issues discussed as well as not discussed in the other course materials.
Course Objectives:
1. Explore major issues in society by comprehending how sport is
organized and how sport provides both positive and negative outcomes for
individuals and society.
2. Understand the contradictions, paradoxes and myths that surround the
phenomenon of sport.
3. Explain how and why sport has changed throughout history.
4. Identify how evolving attitudes about sport have influenced our national
values, socialization processes, economy and mass media.
5. Appreciate the historical and culturally related accomplishments and
achievements of women and minorities in sport.
6. View sport from a new angle, one that results in new interpretations and
insights into the experience of sport.
7. Examine and discuss ways in which the organization of sport might be
changed to benefit a larger number of players, coaches and spectators.
8. Critically think about issues in sport and society and apply ethical and
sociological concepts in a systematic way to the issues discussed.
IMPORTANT NOTE about the pace of the course and the course
materials: This course can be completed as a self paced internet course
with DVD support providing you have access to the Sports and Society
Video Series. The series is located on each campus offering the course
and is included in the Autonomy Pack course materials package listed

lead to various components of the course: the syllabus, discussion pages,
grades, and module work (labeled Module #). You should logon and get
familiar with submitting your work.
Grading Policy:
How Is My Grade Determined?
The first step is to register your Issues in Sport Web Access Code. You
must send an EMAIL with the Issues in Sport access code along with your
name and your course section number addressed to
mycode@philosophylab.com. You will need to do this to be fully cleared for
access to all e-materials and a final grade can be awarded to you for your
work in the course. You must have your code on file to receive a final
grade for the course. ALSO, you will need to put the code into the
Blackboard class web site when you first access the content areas of the
course.
There are five elements of your grade. PLEASE READ CAREFULLY.
Note: if your quiz or final allows the option of saving it, the timer does not
stop when you save it. All quizzes, web assessments and the final are
timed so be sure you have time to do the entire assessment when you
begin.
1. There are 12 on-line quizzes (weeks 1 through 12). Each quiz is worth
20 points. All twelve quiz scores will count for a possible point total of 240.
There is a 15 minute time limit for each quiz. The quiz does not shut down
at the end of the time limit so you must submit your quiz before the time
limit is over. Otherwise you may incur a penalty of one point per minute or
part of a minute over the time limit. (I will allow a minute over the time limit
without penalty to allow for slow computers or network.)
2. You must make a minimum of seven position posts (defined below) on
the class discussion boards on the class web site. There are three required
position posts (weeks 1, 7 and 13) and opportunities each of the other
weeks to present a total of four other required position posts. Two of these
other posts should occur in modules 2,3,4,5 or 6 and two should occur in
modules 8, 9, 10, 11, or 12. In other words, you are required to post
acceptable position post messages in a minimum of seven of the course’s
weeks to earn the maximum 70 points. A maximum score of 10 points for
each of the 7 position posts earns 70 points. Additional posts are
encouraged but not required. Please list each of your posts as Position
Post #1, or Position Post #6 based on the number of posts you have done.
Also include in the title a brief topic description to help others who may be
interested find your post.
3. There are opportunities to make response posts based on the position
posts of others in modules 2 through 12, with a response post required in
module 7. You are required to make a minimum of 5 response posts during
the course and each is worth six points for a total possible 30 points. Two
response posts must be made before module seven and two response
posts after module seven.
4. There is an on-line final exam for the course worth 100 points. It has 100
questions and a one-hour time limit. The exam is located in the Module 13
web page and is to be taken at the completion of Module 13. The final is
available from the first day of class until the class closes.
5. There are 3 web-based activities. Each web activity has an assessment
quiz relating to the information in the web activity that you will find at the
end of the web activity. The activity quizzes are worth 20 points each for a
total possible 60 points. Each web activity quiz has a time limit from the
time that you begin the test. The time limit for the assessment is posted on
the web activity
No extra credit is currently designed for this course. If it becomes available
then it will be posted as an announcement on the class web site.
OVERTIME PENALTY NOTE: Going over the time limit by over one
minute on any assessment will result in a penalty. We allow one minute
over the time limit for slow computers and we assess a one-point penalty
for every minute after that. There is a one-minute warning before the end
of each time limit but the test will not stop you. You are responsible for
watching your time and completing your assessment on time.
TECHNOLOGY WARNING; Sometimes technology does not work. It is
your responsibility to check and see if your grades for your module
quizzes, web activities and final are recorded in the Tools section. If it is
not then you will need to do the assessment again. Completing your work
early will assure that you get credit for the work you do. The points earned
for the discussion board postings are not recorded in the Tools section but
are added into your grade at the end of class.
The grades are determined as follows:
A=500-461
A-=460-451
B+=450-441
B=440-410
B-=409-400
C+=399-390
C= 389-360
C-=359-350
D=349-340
F= 339 or less
To earn an A you must successfully complete all five elements of the class.
Keep track of your 400 points you can earn from your objective testing in
the Tools section of the web site. The other 100 points you can earn is
from the discussion board posts are these points are not determined until
the posts are graded after the class closes.
Academic Dishonesty:
Academic dishonesty and disruption of the academic process are serious
matters. They will be understood and dealt with strictly in light of current
Undergraduate Bulletin guidelines. With specific reference to this course,
submitting any work that is not your own, and/or printing or using any
written aids (including texts and/or notes) while taking quizzes will be
considered academically dishonest actions. Any attempt to crash, hack, or
otherwise adversely affect the operation of the course website or its
security provisions will be considered a disruption of the academic
process.
The Quizzes, Web Assessments and Final:
All 12 quizzes, three web-based assessments, and the final can be taken
only once. If you went overtime there is an ! in the Tools section where a
grade will be once the grader sees if an overtime penalty is appropriate.
The assessments are multiple choice or true/false questions and they are
timed.
How should each Position Post be written?
Students are expected to put before the online class their position on an
issue related to the video programs, readings and/or web-based
information assigned for that week.
Each acceptable position post is a short essay and must be at least 150
words or more and contain the following features:
1. Respond directly to the question in the discussion board by clearly
stating a non-trivial position regarding an issue in sport related to the
module’s topics.
2. Provide good reasons why you hold this position. It must be based on
more than just feelings or unsupported claims.
3. Advance the discussion by using related references to any of the
following: the study guide, the textbook, the video programs, websites
including the class web site, newspaper or another source of reliable
information. Be sure to identify the sources clearly in the post.
You should write your posts in a word processing program, and then copy
and paste it into the Blackboard submission space. That way you have a
copy in case the submission does not work properly. Be sure to spell
check and grammar check your submission. Attachments are not accepted
as posts. The message must be directly readable when opening the post.
How should Response Posts be written?
You may choose to make a response post based on a position post of a
classmate. Each response post should point out important missing
information in the original post, or errors (excluding grammar or spelling
errors), or you should discuss additional stakes or stakeholders related to
the position post. No set number of words is required.
Grading Position and Response Posts: Each message must contribute
to the discussion in a meaningful way by following the instructions above.
Posts should not duplicate the content of prior posts. Frivolous or
inappropriate messages will not be counted and particularly offensive or
inappropriate messages may result in a reduction of your grade. Following
all the above directions correctly for position and response posts will earn
full credit. Correct spelling and grammar are two important aspects of a
proper post.
The grades for the posts are not made available. The posts are treated
together as a major essay handed in on the last day of class. The points
earned from the discussion board posts are added to the points listed in
the Tools section in order to determine your final grade.
If you want a particular post or two evaluated to help you get going just
send the post directly to me, Bob Mertzman, at the email at the beginning
of the syllabus. Be sure to include your section number in the email.
Incomplete Grades:
A grade of Incomplete will only be granted under exceptional
circumstances, and only to a student with a passing grade. This requires a
contract between instructor and student.
EXTREMELY IMPORTANT REPEATED WARNING: Students are
encourage to pace themselves through the course and are encouraged not
to let all the work accumulate toward the close of the class. THERE WILL
BE NO EXCUSES (excepting certain medical emergencies befalling
students who have worked diligently on the course throughout the
semester) FOR NOT GETTING THE WORK DONE BY July 20th by 5
(FIVE) PM. You must complete your objective testing by July 13th so that
any technical problems that may occur can be addressed and resolved
without harm to your grade. If getting a good grade is important to you,
then you must attempt all the objective testing by July 13th and also get all
your assignments successfully completed and recorded by the Blackboard
before July 20th by 5 PM.
