Assessment:Component 1: Two Lecture Exams40%
-The first two exams are each worth 20% of the final grade.
Component 2: Labs15%
-Labs will be evaluated based on quality and completeness of work.
Component 3: Project25%
-Students will work in groups of two or three. Each group will perform an anatomical analysis of a specific movement.
Component 4: Final Exam20%
-The final exam is not comprehensive in nature.
Brief Description of Course:
The course is designed to develop a fundamental understanding of the anatomical, neuromuscular and mechanical principles of human movement. Application of these principles and methods of analysis covered in this course will enable the student to evaluate human performance in ways that will enhance the safety, effectiveness and efficiency of the performance.
Final Grade: Letter grades will be assigned based on the following percentages.
