This does not mean that students are not communicating on a weekly basis. This is not an electronic correspondence course where you are allowed to set your own pace. We have target dates that have to be met in order to receive credit. Each week there will be chapter readings and I have presented my lecture notes for assistance. If you are not prepared to participate in such activities on a weekly basis you should consider taking this course from another instructor. I have attempted to structure this course to foster a sense of community and to make this course a rewarding experience for students who are willing to participate in intellectual stimulating activities. Your progress in the course will depend on your participation to assigned tasks in a timely fashion COURSE PREREQUISITES: None TEXTBOOKS, SUPPLIES, & OTHER RESOURCES: Title: FOUNDATIONS OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION, EXERCISE SCIENCE, AND SPORT Edition: 17th Author: WUEST, D AND FISETTE, J.

COMPUTER USAGE: Access to computer resources is a privilege granted to all Tulsa Community College students. The use of TCC computing resources is limited to purpose related to the college’s mission of education, research, and community service. Student use of technology is governed by the Computer Services Acceptable Use Statements/Standards found in the TCC Student Code of Conduct Policy Handbook. This handbook may be obtained by contacting the Student Activities or Dean of Student Services Office. READING, WRITING, AND MATH TUTORING SERVICES: The Technology Learning Center’s Reading and writing service helps students build analytic reading, solid research and effective writing skills. The Mathematics Service helps students develop a strong foundation in mathematics and overcome math anxiety. Check the library and math lab for a schedule. EVALUATION TECHNIQUES: Grading Scale: All points are cumulative throughout the class. The final grade is determined from the following scale: Points Grade 320-288 A Page 3 287-256 255-224 223-192 191-000 B C D F Course Assessments: Points are broken down in the following manner: 1. Tests: There are 15 chapter tests. Each one has 10 questions related to each chapter. You will need to read the test format about how tests will be conducted. Chapter 1 10 pts Chapter 2 10 pts Chapter 3 10 pts Chapter 4 10 pts Chapter 5 10 pts Chapter 6 10 pts Chapter 7 10 pts Chapter 8 10 pts Chapter 9 10 pts Chapter 10 10 pts Chapter 11 10 pts Chapter 12 10 pts Chapter 13 10 pts Chapter 14 10 pts Chapter 15 10 pts ***See dates below in course schedule Test Format: All tests must be completed during the allotted dates. If a test is not completed during the posted date above, a score of zero will be awarded. There is a one week window for tests to be completed, so no makes-ups will be allowed. Do not wait to the last minute to take the test in case of Blackboard malfunctions. You are also allotted a 30 minute time limit. For every 1 minutes beyond the allotted time, 1 points will be deducted from your total score. For example: 1 minute equals 1 point, 2 minutes equals 2 points, and so on. After 15 minutes beyond the time limit, a zero will be awarded. When taking a test and get “knocked off” the system, relog in and continue with the test. Do not stop taking the test for any reason, because your time is still counting in the system. So be prepared for the test, eliminating any potential distractions during the test. If a test needs to be reset, you will only be allotted 1 reset. A reset can not be used for a make-up. None beyond the 1 allotted. I recommend that you save each question as you test or every few Page 4 questions. If not and you get “knocked off” the Blackboard sit, you will have to start from the last question saved. In worst case scenario, could have to start over at question 1. It is not recommended to take the test on a dial-up network. If you are on a dial-up network, I recommend that you take your test at any of the Tulsa Community College Computer Labs. Dial-ups are slow and may extend beyond your time limit. 2. Discussion Board/Forum: After students have read the assigned readings for the current week, viewed each lecture for the week, the student will then participate in the weekly discussion board activity. I will post questions and students will respond to the question with an articulate answer. Students will also have to respond to a minimum of four postings by classmates on the discussion board for that week. The maximum score for a discussion board assignment is 120 points. We will have 12 discussions, each worth 10 points. Please note a response that merely lists the wording presented in a lecture (i.e., copy and paste) without evidence of critical thinking will not receive a passing grade for the assignment. Each discussion board assignment will have a listed due date. Students who do not respond to the discussion board assignment prior to the due date will receive a zero point assessment for that assignment. The breakdown is as follows: Total Posts: 5 Worth: 10 points Total Posts: 4 Worth: 8 points Total Posts: 3 Worth: 6 points Total Posts: 2 Worth: 4 points Total Posts: 1 Worth: 2 points Total Posts: 0 Worth: 0 points 3. Assignments: Each assignment will be described in the unit it represents. Assignments will have due dates associated with each Unit. You can work ahead within the unit and submit them early. Clinical Observation Form 10pts Clinical Observation Summary 10pts Research Paper 30pts LATE ASSIGNMENTS AND MAKE-UP WORK: All decisions regarding this course are at the discretion of the instructor and are not subject for debate. Students will not be permitted to make-up any missed exams, discussion boards, and assignments. Late work will not be accepted or tolerated. If an assignment is submitted, but not completed correctly, a student will have 3 days to complete the assignment correctly or a zero will be scored. Course Withdrawal : The deadline to withdraw from a course shall not exceed 3/4 the duration of any class. Check the TCC Academic Calendar for the deadline that applies to the course(s). Begin the process with a discussion with the faculty member assigned to Page 5 the course. Contact the Advisement Office at any TCC campus to initiate withdrawal from a course ('W' grade) or to change from Credit to Audit. Withdrawal and/or change to an audit from a course after the drop/add period can alter the financial aid award for the current and future semesters. Students may receive an outstanding bill from TCC if the recalculation leaves a balance due to TCC. Students who stop participating in the course and fail to withdraw may receive a course grade of “F,” which may have financial aid consequences for the student . COMMUNICATIONS: Email: All TCC students receive a designated Outlook email address (ex: jane.doe@tulsacc.edu). All communications to you about TCC and course assignments will be sent to your Outlook email address; and you must use Outlook email to send email to, and receive email from, the instructor regarding this course. Inclement Weather: TCC rarely closes. If extreme weather conditions or emergency situations arise; TCC always gives cancellation notices to radio and television stations. This information is also posted on the TCC website (www.tulsacc.edu). GENERAL EDUCATION GOALS: General Education courses at TCC ensure that our graduates gain skills, knowledge, and abilities that comprise a common foundation for their higher education and a backdrop for their work and personal lives. TCC’s General Education goals are: Critical Thinking, Effective Communication, Engaged Learning, and Technological Proficiency. CLASSROOM ETIQUETTE: Open and mutually respectful communication of varied opinions, beliefs, and perspectives during classroom or online discussion encourages the free exchange of ideas that is essential to higher learning and to the ability to learn from each other. Use of any electronic device is at the discretion of the instructor. I assume every student is a mature individual who will interact with others in a mature fashion. Students are required to respond to other students postings on the course discussion board. Such responses must concern the ideas presented. Comments should encourage intellectual dialog and critical thinking. All comments should be respectful of other individuals. Students are also encouraged to e-mail me and each other about topics related to the course. I will attempt to answer e-mail within 24 hours of receipt of the email. Students should refrain from actions that are disruptive to the learning environment. Comments about the author’s demographic background or I.Q. would be examples of FLAMMING. Such comments are inappropriate and will not be tolerated. Students who are disruptive will be informed of their unacceptable behavior and the student will have to acknowledge that such behavior was inappropriate. If a student is disruptive a second time the student will be required to meet with me in person concerning the disruption of the class and the student may be permanently dismissed from the course. SYLLABUS CHANGES: Occasionally, changes to the syllabus may be necessary. Students will be notified of any changes to the syllabus in writing. Page 6 DISABILITY RESOURCES It is the policy and practice of Tulsa Community College to create inclusive learning environments. Accommodations for qualifying students in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act are available.

ACADEMIC DISHONESTY: Academic dishonesty (cheating) is defined as the deception of others about one’s own work or about the work of another. Academic dishonesty or misconduct is not condoned or tolerated at campuses within the Tulsa Community College system. Tulsa Community College adopts a policy delegating certain forms of authority for disciplinary action to the faculty. Such disciplinary actions delegated to the faculty include, but are not limited to, the dismissal of disrespectful or disorderly students from classes. In the case of academic dishonesty a faculty member may: Require the student to redo an assignment or test, or require the student to complete a substitute assignment or test; Record a "zero" for the assignment or test in question; Recommend to the student that the student withdraw from the class, or administratively withdraw the student from the class; Record a grade of "F" for the student at the end of the semester. Faculty may request that disciplinary action be taken against a student at the administrative level by submitting such a request to the Dean of Student Services. INSTITUTIONAL STATEMENT: Each student is responsible for being aware of the information contained in the TCC Catalog, the TCC Student Policies & Resources Handbook, and semester information listed in the class schedule. All information may be viewed on the TCC website: www.tulsacc.edu TENTATIVE COURSE CALENDAR: *** Please work ahead of the schedule. Assignments will have due dates in each Unit.
