6.0Course Requirements:

6.1Students will jog/walk at their own pace and are not required to run certain times. This is not a race training course. Students will be divided into groups based on their exercise pace. Each group will have a set distance to cover such that it will take each group approximately 20-30 minutes to complete. The distances and the course will be determined by the instructor. Warm-up exercises will be performed (crunches, pushups, and a light jog or walk). After completing the prescribed distance, a cool-down will be performed which will also be crunches and pushups and a light jog or walk. Students will be required to write the distance completed, time, heart rate, and # of crunches and pushups on a daily basis.

6.2Regular attendance is required along with running shoes and appropriate running attire. Wearing shoes not made for running greatly increases the chances of injury. Running shoes should be discarded after no more than 500 miles of usage. Students should always dress to run outside regardless of weather. Jeans or dress pants are not allowed. Failure to dress appropriately will result in a zero for the class and you will be sent home. Headphones are never permitted.

6.3 Daily Schedule

10 minutes: stretching

10 minutes: warm-up (crunches, pushups, light

jog/walk)

20-30 minutes: jogging or walking activity

10 minutes: cool down (crunches, pushups,

light jog/walk)

6.4 Academic Honesty: “In cases of academic dishonesty or severe or repeated disruption of class/lab activities the instructor may handle the matter by invoking a maximum sanction of immediate expulsion from the course with a failing grade.” (Code of Student Conduct, p.9). Examples of academic dishonesty in this class include cheating on exams, copying assignments without permission, and / or plagiarizing an authors work. First offense, zero on assignment and work cannot be made up; Second offense, immediate expulsion from course with a failing grade.

7.1 Grading: Grades are based on accumulation of points obtained throughout the term. Participation in the lecture, warm-up, and cool-down activity is worth 120 points. One point from arriving to class on time and three points for completing the required activities. If a student misses a class, written documentation must be provided otherwise points will be lost. There will be plenty of opportunities to obtain additional points throughout the term. Twenty points will also be obtained from accurately completing the fitness assessment sheets that will be done at the start and finish of the term. A thirty item multiple choice test will also be given at the end of the term. Students will be tested on their knowledge of the material given in class and in lectures.
