Exams: There will be four exams and all exams will count equally towards the final grade. There will be three exams during the semester that will be announced at least one class day before the exam. There will be a final exam during the scheduled final time for this course. Exams can include multiple choice, true/false, fill-in-the-blank, short answer, essay, etc. Exam material will be derived from lectures, additional lecture notes provided that are not covered in class material from the text and any additional materials that may be provided during the semester. Quizzes/Assignments: Quizzes or assignments can be given at any time. The quiz/assignment average will constitute 15% of the total course grade. Further directions for quizzes and any assignments will be given later. Laboratory Grade: The score earned in the lab section of the course will count as 25% of the final course grade (refer to Assessment of Laboratory Experiences for additional information). Late and Missed Exams: Any student late for an exam will not be allowed to take the exam after the first person has finished. Any student missing an exam must submit an acceptable written excuse to the instructor the first day of return. Failure to submit a written excuse with proper documentation or failure to make up the exam will result in a zero for the exam. Acceptable excuses are discussed in the Academic Operating Policy and Procedure Manual. Acceptable absences include, but are not limited to: participation in an activity appearing on the university s authorized activity list; death or major illness of a student s immediate family, religious observance; and, personal sickness that is too severe or contagious for the student to attend class as determined by the Health Center or EP 3304 Exercise Physiology Revised Spring

9 off-campus physician. A written excuse with proper documentation must be submitted to the instructor prior to the next scheduled lab meeting. Late Assignments: Failure to complete an assignment on time will result in a zero for the assignment unless an acceptable written excuse is submitted to the instructor, similar to the policy for exams above. Attendance: Regular class attendance is expected; the instructor maintains an attendance record. The student is responsible for all material missed regardless of whether the absence was excused or not excused. Any student who accumulates more than 2 unexcused absences will receive a half letter grade deduction for each absence past the second one. Students are expected to be on time for class. Tardiness will not be tolerated, as it disrupts the learning of those who were respectful enough to be on time for class. A tardy will be counted if you are more than 5 minutes late for class. Each tardy will count as 1/3 of an absence. Acceptable excuses are discussed in the Academic Operating Policy and Procedure Manual (refer to Section 12:09: Class Attendance and Reporting Absences, Acceptable absences include, but are not limited to: participation in an activity appearing on the university s authorized activity list; death or major illness in a student s immediate family, religious observance; and, personal sickness that is too severe or contagious for the student to attend class as determined by the Health Center or off-campus physician. For excused absences, a written excuse including proper documentation must be submitted to the instructor on the first day back to class. Assessment of Laboratory Experiences: The final laboratory score is 25% of the final grade for EP 3304, and is determined by weekly quizzes, lab reports and final lab exam. Quizzes: A short quiz will be given at the start of each lab period on the material for that day s lab. Students should prepare for each quiz by reading the lab that will be completed that day. Quizzes will constitute 20% of the laboratory grade. Lab Reports: Laboratory reports are due at the beginning of the next lab session. Failure to submit lab reports on time will result in a zero for the assignment. Lab reports are 40% of the final lab grade. Lab reports will consist of completed data sheets and lab questions. Final Lab Exam: There will be a lab final during the final scheduled laboratory session of the semester which will constitute 40% of your laboratory grade. The lab exam will consist of a practical portion (demonstration of skills and knowledge) and a written portion consisting of multiple choice, short answer and EP 3304 Exercise Physiology Revised Spring

10 calculation questions. The written portion of the lab final exam will constitute 30% of the overall laboratory grade and the practical portion will comprise 10%. Attendance & Participation: Attendance and active involvement at all laboratory activities is expected and required. There are no scheduled opportunities to make-up a missed lab. If you know, beforehand, of a conflict that you have with your regularly scheduled lab time, consult your lab instructor about scheduling to attend a different lab section for that day s lab. If it is not possible for you to attend an alternate lab session, a written excuse with proper documentation must be submitted to both your course instructor and your lab instructor in order to not have the missed laboratory counted against you. In the event that a lab is missed because of an excused absence, the student s lab grade will be averaged on one less total number of labs. Other Laboratory Information: Students are expected to bring to class each week, in addition to the lab manual, pen and paper for taking notes and a calculator. Students need to come to lab dressed appropriately for exercise. This entails wearing appropriate clothing, such as t-shirts and shorts or warm-up pants, and sports bras for females. Footwear should consist of tennis shoes with closed toes and an enclosed heel (you must be able to run and jump in the shoes without them falling off) and socks. For certain labs, other instructions may be given regarding attire. Bibliography: Baechle, T.R., & Earle, R.W. (eds.). (2000). Essentials of strength training and conditioning, 2 nd ed.
