You are expected to be here every day.  This course will involve lecture and fitness activities.  You are expected to participate in the day’s activities.  Participation means actively taking part in the activity (not watching).  There may be an occasion when a person has an injury that may prelude them from active participation (this does not exclude you from class).

Attendance Policy:  SEQ CHAPTER \h \r 1The ETSU Department of Physical Education, Exercise and Sport Sciences requires that students must attend a specific portion of all scheduled class time in that course to receive course credit for an Active Lifestyles and Wellness (AWL) program class. Students are expected to attend all scheduled class meetings and attendance may be taken for each class. ALL absences, minutes late, or minutes left early count as such. Excused absences (as specified in the ETSU Undergraduate Catalog) are allowed as long as the student does not equal or exceed the maximum number of absences (Please see examples below.). With proper verification or documentation as determined by the instructor, students may be allowed to make up work from a class absence. However, the portions of time in the classes missed (excused and unexcused) remains counted as being absent, late, or leaving early.

 Class attendance and participation may be considered in the final grade evaluation. If a student is tardy or leaves early, it is the student's responsibility to speak to the instructor during that class to be sure the student’s portion of attendance is recorded. Students are responsible for all work missed during their absences.

 Attendance Guidelines:  Courses meeting twice (2) per week for each class meeting:

Students who miss 6 (six), or the equivalent to 6 (six), class meetings will receive a failing (F) grade in the course. For this example, if a student misses 5 classes (3 excused & 2 unexcused), and the total minutes of classes missed due to being late and leaving class early are equal to or more than another full absence, the student will receive a failing (F) grade in the AWL course.

 Make-up Policy:   Each student is expected to be present for all assigned exams and field trips.  If a student is absent, he/she will receive a grade of “F” or zero (0) for the exam or field trip missed.  Documentation is expected for excused absences.   At the discretion of the course instructor, an absence may be excused in which case a make-up exam or alternate field trip will be allowed.  However, such cases are very rare and must involve extreme circumstances.

 Tobacco and Drug Use Policy:  The use of any tobacco products or drugs, including alcohol, will not be permitted during this course.  Any student who uses tobacco products during or attends class under the influence or appears to be under the influence of drugs, including alcohol, will be dismissed from that class and counted absent for the day.

 Plagiarism and Academic Integrity Policy:  All work submitted in this course is expected to be that of the student or students assigned to a project work group or to be appropriately documented according to APA format recognizing the source of the material.  Any student involved in cheating on exams or assigned projects in this course will receive a grade of “F” or zero (0) for course and will be dealt with according to University policy.  Any project work group involved in plagiarism in this course will be given a grade of “F” or zero (0) for the course and be dealt with according to University policy. 

 Important Notes:  The syllabus is as accurate as possible, however, Kristie Coleman, reserves the right to change any provision of the syllabus with actual notice if considered necessary.  You will be advised of changes during class announcements, email, blackboard etc.  You are responsible for knowing if any changes have been made to the syllabus and for completing alterations to assignments or course work according to those specifications.

 Blackboard:  Blackboard is key factor for communicating course information, course documents assignments, grades, and announcements.  You will be responsible for all information posted on blackboard.  If your blackboard or email is encounters problems contact the Office of Information Technology (OIT) for assistance.  Any assignments that are turned in electronically should be placed in the BLACKBOARD DROP BOX by 4:00 p.m. on the assigned day.  The inability to log onto your blackboard account is not an acceptable excuse for late assignments.
