COURSE OBJECTIVE

The primary emphasis of this course is to present an overview of normal human physiological function and how it is altered and restored in response to exercise and training. Students will learn to assist individuals in the development of a healthy, active lifestyle in which the benefits of physical activity are understood, valued, and integrated into daily life.

ATTENDANCE POLICY AND DEFINED EXCUSES

Attendance is expected and will be recorded. Provision can be made for occasional conflicts (e.g., participation in university sponsored events), but students are requested to bring such activities to the attention of the instructor IN ADVANCE and as soon as possible. In case of illness or other unavoidable reason for missing class, it is the responsibility of the student to contact the instructor within 24 hours and be able to document the reason for being absent. We will not allow a student to make-up an exam because of forgetfulness, colds, headaches, hangovers, etc. Only one make-up exam will be given to a student during the semester. Medical excuses need not have the specific condition identified for reasons of privacy. Absences will not be used to compute grades unless mandated by campus or system administration. However, attendance records will be reviewed prior to student counseling, submission of D/F midterm grades, requests for withdrawal or incompletes, and assignment of final grades. It is the responsibility of the student to find out what announcements were made, to obtain lecture notes, handouts, etc., if a class is missed.

NO EXTRA CREDIT assignments will be given.

MAKE-UP EXAMS AND QUIZZES will only be scheduled upon presentation of verifiable documentation for an excused absence (university-sponsored event, severe illness, death in family). It is the student's responsibility to report their absence to the instructor within 24 hours. No student will be allowed more than one makeup exam/quiz per semester. Again, verifiable documentation must be provided within 24 hours. We will not allow a student to make-up an exam or lab because of forgetfulness, colds, headaches, hangovers, etc.

Special Needs Statement

We at UW-Waukesha are here to help all students succeed. All reasonable arrangements will be made to accommodate a student's special needs in order to successfully complete this course. Students who take their exams through DSS need to make arrangements with Judith Becker (521-5210) as early in the semester as possible and to remind me before each.

Religious Beliefs Accommodation

Board of Regents policy states that students' sincerely held religious beliefs shall be reasonably accommodated with respect to scheduling all examinations and other academic requirements. Students must notify the instructor, within the first three weeks of the beginning of classes of the specific days or dates on which they will request accommodation from an examination or academic requirement.

Academic Misconduct

The University believes that academic honesty and integrity are fundamental to the mission of higher education and of the University of Wisconsin System. The University has a responsibility to promote academic honesty and integrity and to develop procedures to deal effectively with instances of academic dishonesty. Students are responsible for the honest completion and representation of their work, for the appropriate citation of sources, and for respect of others' academic endeavors. Students who violate these standards are subject to disciplinary action.
UWS 14 defines academic misconduct as any "action which a student: 1) seeks to claim credit for the work or efforts of another without authorization or citation; 2) uses unauthorized materials or fabricated data in any academic exercise; 3) forges or falsifies academic documents or records; 4) intentionally impedes or damages the academic work of others; 5) engages in conduct aimed at making false representation of a student's academic performance; 6) assists other students in any of these acts." UWS 14 allows for disciplinary sanctions that range from an oral reprimand to suspension or expulsion from the University. A copy of the full academic misconduct policy is available through the Student Services office.
