If you miss material that will affect your grade, you must show written documentation on your first day back to class. If no legitimate evidence is provided, you will receive a zero on the missed assignment. For all laboratory exercises, you must dress appropriately or half of your lab points will be lost.

University policy requires attendance to be taken. 6.8 Students are expected to perform their own work and will receive a zero for any work completed dishonestly. Responsible Leaders Engaging in Professional Practice - 7.0 -3- Methods of Evaluation and Grading 7.1 Group presentation: Students will work in groups of 2 or 3 and select a journal article on an athletic injury from either the Physician & Sports Medicine or the American Journal of Sports Medicine that deals with a particular area of the body which will be assigned in class. The group will present to the class important findings of the article, and will use a visual aid such as the skeleton during the presentation. The group needs to explain how the injury occurred, what was damaged, the relevant bony and muscular anatomy, and the method of treatment. The group also needs to be prepared to answer questions about the injury. Allow approximately 15 minutes for presentations. Presentations will be made during midterm exam week. Evaluation: Candidates will be graded on Visual Presentation {Powerpoint} (1-5 points), Content Knowledge (1-5 points), Injury and Anatomy Explanation (1-5 points), and Ability to Answer Questions (1-5 points). 7.2 Movement Analysis: The students will be required to film a sport movement in both an expert and a novice form. Each group will have to identify the muscles used, the muscles involvement in the movement, the movement directions required for successful execution, and the differences between a novice performer and an expert performer. Each group will be required to present their findings and the digital tape to the class. Each presentation should last about fifteen minutes and about 5 minutes should be allowed for questions. The group will have to turn in a report of their findings on the day the final exam is scheduled. Students must pick a sport where the performance outcome is measurable quantitatively. Each group must pick a separate sport skill that is complex and discrete and not continuous. Presentation of the movement analysis will be done during the final exam time and/or the preceding class. Some sports that can be filmed include: tennis, volleyball, softball, basketball, football, baseball, golf, badminton, or track (throwing or jumping events). Other sport movements may be allowed. <digital video camera, Pinnacle software> Evaluation: Candidates will be graded on Biomechanical Explanation (1-5 points), Ability to Determine Differences Between Elite and Novice (1-5 points), Quality of Filming (1-5 points), Ability to Answer Questions (1-5 points), and the Report (1-10 points). 7.3 Laboratory Exercises: Laboratory exercises will be assigned during class that will coincide with information given in class. Students are required to attend labs to receive all the points. Laboratory assignments must be turned in on time to receive full credit. 7.4 Worksheets at end of text – will be due on the first test day 7.4 Grade Scale: (90-100%) (80-89.9%) (70-79.9%) (60-69.9%) (<60%) A B C D F Responsible Leaders Engaging in Professional Practice - -4- 8.0 Bibliography 8.1 Text Abbott, A.V. & Wilson G.W.

Conceptual Framework: Programs of study in the College of Education are grounded in the Conceptual Framework of “Responsible Leaders Engaging in Professional Practice.” Candidates are prepared in the core knowledge and skills needed to become responsible leaders engaging in professional practice. The core components educate candidates to develop and maintain the dispositions that promote positive change in the community and profession, who are open to diversity and innovation, and who are culturally responsive. The College’s core components and dispositions represent the University’s commitment to transforming the lives of students by working to ensure that all students become successful life-long learners. Academic Grievances: The proper procedure for filing grade appeals or grievances related to academic matters is listed in Section 5 of the Code of Student Conduct and at the following link: http://www.nicholls.edu/documents/student_life/code_of_conduct.pdf. Continued Learning following an Extreme Emergency: In order to make continued learning possible following an extreme emergency, students are responsible for: ● reading regular emergency notifications on the NSU website; ● knowing how to use and access Blackboard (or university designated electronic delivery system); ● being familiar with emergency guidelines; ● evacuating textbooks and other course materials; ● knowing their Blackboard (or designated system) student login and password; ● contacting faculty regarding their intentions for completing the course.
