GRADING PROCEDURES AND POINT VALUES
1.
LABORATORY ASSIGNMENTS
Max Value
20 points
Laboratory assignments reinforce the topic of the unit, and are listed in two locations: the
individual Unit folders under Course Content and, under the Assignment tab. Ensure that
you check both locations for assignments. This is an "all or nothing" grade. Each lab will
be graded individually; however, all labs must be completed in order to have the potential
to receive the full 20% lab grade. It is not a "pick and choose which lab I want to
complete" grade option. Labs not submitted in Blackboard Assignments will not receive
credit, thus losing the possibility of the 20% point value. If you have trouble submitting
your lab assignment, call the 24-hour Blackboard support phone number immediately for
assistance. Waiting less than two hours before the assignment deadline to call for support
may result in not receiving credit for your assignments. Submit labs early to avoid losing
points. You will not be allowed to fax labs or drop labs off to the instructor's office. Make
sure you are aware of the assignment due date, which is listed on the assignment.
2. On-line Discussions
Max Value
5 points
Students are required to post a response to each of the on-line discussion questions.
Students will have the opportunity to participate in Discussion postings. During the course of the
semester, the student will participate in discussions. The requirements are as follows: five of the
posting submissions must happen before October 18th , 2013. Once the Discussion Assignment
period opens, the student will have to respond to the topic posted by the instructor. In order to
receive full credit for your posting :(1) your answer must be specific to the topic, (2) be thorough
to defend your position, and (3) must be based on material you have read, heard, or watched.
Discussions are available at 9:00 a.m. and are due at 11:59 p.m., on the specified date.

research and read an article of their choice concerning issues or information about health,
wellness or fitness. The student will then type a one page summary of the article. A

Each student will complete a record of their walking activity. This log is found in the
back of the textbook or you can use the walking log in the forms, or use an on-line
tracking log such as run keeper. This will serve as a reflection of your attendance. In
order for the student to receive credit for attendance for this on-line course, the student
must participate two hours per week in aerobic/physical exercise. This should be spread
out over two or more days. After each exercise session the student will record the
following information on their activity log: the activity, total time, distance covered and if
using a pedometer the number of steps taken. There will be three log checks. The

Written Review (Due 11/17/2013)
5%
Each student will prepare a written review on a selected piece of literature. The student
will research and read an article of their choice concerning issues or information about health,
wellness or fitness. The student will then type a one page summary of the article. A conclusion
paragraph should be included at the end of the summary stating the student’s personal opinion
of the article and the relevance of the walking class. This assignment listed under the
“Assignment” tab in Blackboard, and complete instructions for this assignment may be found
here.
Review the following:1.
Read it again thoroughly. Make sure you are clear about the
expectations of the course and are willing to put in the time necessary to do well. Late
assignments or excuses will not be accepted. Remember, you are completing the same
amount of work as the onsite classes. Time management is essential. You are required to
use a scanner to submit some portions of your work. In the beginning, this takes a lot of
time. If you are not familiar with using a scanner, get familiar ASAP or consider an on-site
class.
2. Develop an emergency plan for submitting your work. Find out campus
library hours in advance so that you can use campus computers or
scanners if you run into problems. Know where the closest Kinko's is in
case the campus libraries are closed. Identify someone who will be willing
to assist you if you are not familiar with word documents, scanning, or
Blackboard. Computer problems are no excuse! All work must be
submitted inside Blackboard in the correct format for credit. Submit work
early to ensure you won't lose points.
3. Print a hardcopy of the syllabus. Keep it in a place you can refer to often.
Highlight discussion & assignment due dates. Be sure to download an
updated copy inside Blackboard once classes start.
4. Purchase the required text for the course (see page 1 of syllabus).
5. Make sure your computer is ready to work! If you have pop-up blockers,
you will want to disable them. If you need further instruction, call the
Distance Learning Dept.
6. Complete the Medical History Form inside Blackboard. The front and top
half of the back side must be submitted BEFORE any other assignment is
accepted. If a physician's approval is needed, I will advise you of that
necessity. You must complete the form & physically initial/sign where
required. Scanning this document is a requirement. If you do not have
access to a scanner, feel free to use the LRC on any of the 3 campuses,
go to Kinko's (or a similar place), or borrow. The medical history form will
only be accepted inside Blackboard in Assignments. Please do not send
an e-mail with your form attached inside or outside of Blackboard. Be sure
to physically sign & initial the required spots!
7. Complete the Course Agreement, located in Unit 1, and submits.
8. To locate your course offered in Blackboard, please go to
