STATEMENT OF ACADEMIC INTEGRITY
Students are expected to practice the highest standards of
ethics, honesty, and integrity in all academic coursework. Any form of
academic dishonesty (e.g., plagiarism, cheating, or misrepresentation) may
result in disciplinary action. Possible disciplinary actions may include
failure for part or all of the course, as well as suspension from the
university.
SPECIAL ACCOMMODATIONS
The university offers a variety of accommodations to assist
students with their academic work (e.g., priority registration, note-takers,
out-of-class testing, taped readings). Students needing special
accommodations should contact the instructor.
EVALUATION AND GRADING: Grades will be based on total
points earned. Points will be distributed between labs, exams,
assignments and in-class activities.
Grades will be
assigned on a percentage basis as follows: A= 90% or more of the total
points, B = 80-89%, C= 70-79%, D= 60-69%, and E = 59% or less of the total
possible points

EXPLANATION OF GRADING PROCEDURES
1. Lab reports will be due the Wednesday after the
lab is done. Late labs will have 10% of the points deducted per day.
2. Exams will be fill-in-the-blank, matching and
multiple-choice exams with questions from class presentations and
demonstrations. Missed exams may only be made up with prior
arrangements. In the event of illness students are expected to contact
the instructor prior to the time of the exam to make arrangements to take the
exam at another time.
3. Quizzes will be given in class and students will
be expected to write the quiz on the day it is scheduled unless they have a
University sponsored event or a documented absence.
4. Students will be expected to read two articles
from journals in the BSU library
a. The first article must come
from the Strength and Conditioning Journal (not the Journal of Strength
and Conditioning Research). It is due November 1.
You do not need to submit a copy of the article, just OUTLINE the key points on
one page with enough detail that another person can understand the important
points of the article. Be sure to give a complete reference (title,
author, journal title, volume, issue and pages). The subject of the
article must be related to material covered in class prior to November 1, 2005.
b. The second article must be on
the topic of obesity, inactivity, blood sugars, hyperlipidemia, type 2 diabetes
and/or metabolic syndrome. It must come from a journal, or website that
ends with .org or .gov. The format and instructions for this are
the same as above. Due date is December 11, 2006.
5. Graduate Students only. Graduate students
enrolled in PHED 5300 must complete one of the following assignments.
For students enrolled in PHED 5300 (graduate
credit), select one of the following:
a.
Write a research paper (literature review) on an exercise
physiology/nutritional topic of your choice. Ten references should be
used, 6 of them should be original research (primary references) the remainder
may be reviews or books.
b.
Or, conduct an exercise physiology pilot research project. This must
include an introduction, methods, results, and a discussion.
c.
Or, prepare curricular materials that would be used to satisfy the a elementary,
middle, high school, or college physical education or health
curriculum.
This
assignment is worth 50 points.

Subpart 3 A 4 health-enhancing dietary practices |
1. Final written exam that includes questions
about: a. macro nutrient diet composition such as
consuming dietary fats as less than 35% of calories b. the role of fruits and vegetables in preventing
disease by supplying antioxidants and phytochemicals c. the importance of minerals to prevent disease
such as anemia and osteoporosis d. the role of dietary fiber in reducing blood
cholesterol e. how to balance caloric intake with physical
activity to maintain a healthy body weight 2. Assignment of diet planning using MyPyramid to
verify that the plan meets RDA/DRI's and Dietary Goals |
1. 70% or better on the exam 2. 70% or better on the assignment |
Subpart
3 D1 the short-term and
long-term consequences of positive and negative health choices |
1.
Final Exam with questions about a. the
importance of diet and exercise in the prevention of Type II Diabetes,
Osteoporosis and Coronary Heart Disease. b. the importance
of fruits and vegetables, fiber and monounsaturated fats in preventing
cancers 2. In class
activity with a focus on obesity, physical fitness and the risk of
cardiovascular disease. Students will exam a graph from the textbook
that shows the risk of CVD for underweight, normal weight, and overweight fit
and unfit people. They will draw conclusions about the importance of
"fatness" and "fitness" and lifestyle choices that can be
made. 3. Students will
bring an article about the metabolic syndrome, a cluster of risk factors for
cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes and risk factors for chronic
diseases. They will share information with other students and have a
discussion about the metabolic syndrome, lifestyle choices and risk factors. |
1. 70% or better
on the exam 2. successful
completion of questions with 80% of points are better. 3. completion of
assignment with 80% of points or better |
