MAJOR REQUIREMENTS, DEMONSTRATION OF MASTERY AND EVALUATION
Assignments: There will be six (6) graded assignments throughout the semester. Information on
each assignment will be posted on blackboard in a folder under Assignments. Students will be
REQUIRED to type and print out assignments on the due date. No late work or last minute
email will be accepted. After all, you’re in college now!
1. Heart Rate Activity Sheet- Practice different exercise activities and intensities to indicate
various heart rate responses. You will do this at the REK center (see syllabus).
2. CFD (Karvonen) Sheet
3. Pre- Fitness Assessment (There will be 2 Fitness Tests; Pre & Post)
4. Post-Fitness Assessment
o 1.5 Mile Run Test: You will be tested over your 1.5 mile run 2 times (Pre & Post)
throughout the semester to measures your cardiorespiratory fitness. Heart rate will
be recorded at rest and after completion of exercise.
o Muscular Endurance: Students muscular endurance levels will be evaluated with a
push-up and sit-up test.
o Anthropometric measures: Students height, weight, waist and hip circumference,
and body mass index (BMI) will be measured.
o List 5 Fitness goals
o ALL SCORES must include categories under which the individual falls under.
5. Fitness Log- All students will be required to log exercise done in and out of class. There
will be access to a template online in which students are required to fill in all information
listed. Students are encouraged to add additional tabs, but NOT exclude items listed. This
will result in point deduction. Students can include other workouts they may do, but MUST
include in class activities. This log MUST BE TYPED or will result in 10 points off! We live in
technology savvy generation now!
6. Video Clip- Each group will be required to work on short video clip to the class
based on a basic warm up, cool down, stretching, and how to monitor Heart Rate.
The video should be no longer than 5-7 minutes long and must include the specific
guidelines as listed below. Detailed instructions will be given.
Exams: There will be two exams for this course and will be taken as per scheduled time. There will
be no make-up for those who fail to take the exam at its scheduled time because they forgot. Each
exam is worth 100 points.
Make-Up Exams- If a student has a valid excuse a make-up exam will be given. If at all
possible the student must provide written notice of missing the exam at least 48 hours
prior to the scheduled exam. Students must make up the exam within one week of the
scheduled exam.
Attendance: Class attendance and participation is mandatory. When you are absent, no
matter what the reason, it will be recorded as an absence and 5 points will be deducted from your
staring grade, which is an A. Please keep in mind that 2 absences are still considered an A for the
course; therefore you basically have 2 absences to use, whether it is an illness or emergency.
Therefore, 2 absences= A, 3 absences= B, 4 absences=C, 5 absences= D, and 6= F for the final
course grade.

students who are experiencing difficulty with their courses. Satisfactory Academic
Progress (Sap) is based upon two components: GPA of 2.0 or higher and successful course
completion of at least 70% of course work attempted. Students remain in good standing
with the university and Financial Aid when both criteria are met. Students who do not
maintain these required minimum standards will be placed on probation or suspension as
appropriate. The complete Satisfactory Academic Progress policy and the Undergraduate
Satisfactory Academic Progress for Financial Aid policy can be found in the current
Undergraduate catalog. For more information, please visit http://blue.utb.edu/vpaa/sap
SCHOLASTIC DISHONESTY
Students who engage in scholastic dishonesty are subject to disciplinary penalties,
including the possibility of failure in the course and expulsion from the University.
Scholastic dishonesty includes but is not limited to cheating, plagiarism, collusion,
submission for credit of any work or materials that are attributable in whole or in part to
another person, taking an examination for another person, any act designed to be unfair
advantage to a student, or the attempt to commit such acts. Since scholastic dishonesty
harms the individual, all students and the integrity of the University, Policies on scholastic

university shuts down as a result of a hurricane or any other natural disaster.
The university will use MyUTBTSC Blackboard to post announcements notifying faculty
members and students of their responsibilities as a hurricane approaches our region. If the
university is forced to shut down, faculty will notify their course(s). To receive credit for a
course, it is the student’s responsibility to complete all requirements for that course.
Failure to access course materials once reasonably possible can result in a reduction of
your overall grade in the class.
To facilitate the completion of class, most or all of the communication between students
and the institution, the instructor, and fellow classmates will take place using the features
in your MyUTBTSC Blackboard and UTB email system. Therefore, all students must use
Scorpion Online to provide a current email address. Students may update their email
address by following the like titled “Validate your e-Mail Account” in MyUTBTSC

and faculty must make every effort to access an internet-enabled computer as often as
possible to continue the learning process.
