LATE ASSIGNMENT POLICY
All assignments are to be handed in at the start of class on the date specified in the syllabus or specifically
announced in class by the instructor. Assignments handed in any later than the start of class on the same day
will lose 10% off the assigned mark. The mark will be deducted an additional 10% for each day after the due
date until it is received by the instructor. Marks will only be deducted up to 50% off. From there, no further marks
will be deducted for lateness as long as the assignment is in by the end of the semester classes. Students who are
handing in a late assignment when the instructor is not in the office should give it to Rita Holte (Office Assistant to the
Dean of the School of Human Kinetics) or one of the gym staff and ask him/her to sign & date the assignment and
place it the instructor’s mail box. In cases of printer issues or other computer problems, students are permitted to
email the assignment to the instructor along with an explanation as to why it was not possible to hand the assignment
in on time. If the instructor receives the email before the start of class and the same hard copy of the assignment is
submitted the following class, the student will not receive late marks. Students should not expect to get assistance
on an assignment on the night before the assignment is due.
ASSIGNMENT QUALITY
As this is a 2-credit class, the amount of work is less than a 3-credit class. However, the quality of all
assignments should meet university standards. All assignments (unless otherwise specified in the syllabus or by
the instructor) are to be typed, 12 font size, New Roman Times font (or equivalent size), double spaced with 1-inch
margins and looking professional. Students are expected to include title pages for all their assignments. Marks will
be deducted for messiness and/or poor printing quality. All multi-page assignments are to be stapled or bound.
Spelling, grammar and sentence structure will be marked as they would in any other class. Follow the specific
guidelines for the assignment given in class, via email or in the syllabus. Students who do not complete
the assignment as specified in the syllabus will not be given an opportunity for a re-write. Students who
need help with grammar or with proof reading should visit the writing centre on campus. Please include your
“preferred name” as well when handing in your assignments.
HKIN 190 TIPS FOR SUCCESS
Although this is a class on health & fitness and not calculus, it does not mean that all students should expect to get an
“A”. Here are some tips that will assist students who desire to earn a good grade:

Attend every class and arrive before the start of class

Stay focused during lab & lecture classes, avoid computer social networking during class

Record all important dates (e.g. assignments due, exams) in one’s day planner immediately

Carefully read the instructions from the syllabus for each assignment and make sure that nothing is missing –
this is one of the most common ways students lose marks

Do not leave things to the last minute

Stay open to learning new things and new twists on old things. Do not assume there is nothing left to learn.

Be ready for quizzes by keeping up with readings and lecture notes.

Do not miss labs!

Ask lots of questions – the more one asks the more one will get out of this course!
INSTRUCTOR-STUDENT COMMUNICATION
STUDENTS ARE TO CHECK THEIR STUDENT EMAIL ACCOUNT DAILY! Announcements, course information, marking
sheets, updated course outline changes, and other important course information will posted on the mycourse site.
These will often be posted in Microsoft word format, so students are to ensure they have appropriate software to have
access ™ (or equivalent to open and print these files). Some communication will occur through email consequently
students should pay attention to their TWU email account. Students who do not like to use their student email
account should set the account up so it forwards emails to their preferred account.
