Notes on participation
1. Attendance is mandatory and participation in class activities is part of your grade. There are no excuses for missing class!
2. Class will meet every day that it is scheduled to meet. Don’t call the Department of Kinesiology and ask if and where the class is meeting. Just meet me at our planned location and I will plan the activity for the day.
3. My cell phone number is -- and the SIUC Police number is 618-453-2381. Please put these numbers in your phone and bring your cell phone with you to class.
4. Class will not be affected by the Fourth of July holiday. Class will meet on the Thursday before and the Monday after the holiday.
5. I will begin to take roll at 7:30 (201) or 8:30 (202) and use the next 5 minutes to get the class organized and make announcements. Class will typically finish by 8:20 or 9:20.
6. You must be prepared to exercise during each class. If you are not prepared then you will be marked absent. Males and females must wear at least a t-shirt, shorts, and shoes. No lewd or crude t-shirts will be allowed. Backpacks must be put in a locker or left at home. No headphones may be worn in class.
7. From Davies Hall we will walk around Campus. Here is a plot of the typical course, http://treksee.com/p/9t8. We will be walking outdoors. You are responsible for walking the assigned course.
8. If you are AWOL from a workout, the incident will be treated as academic dishonesty. Academic dishonesty can result in automatic failure of the class. At the least, academic dishonesty will result in the reduction of your final grade by one letter e.g. A to B.
9. The class will gather together again after each workout.
Evaluations
1. Attendance will be graded on a prorated basis. For example, if you miss 3 classes, 3 will be subtracted from the total number of classes and then divided by the total number of classes to arrive at your grade.
2. The instructor will qualitatively determine your participation grade. It will be combined with your attendance grade to determine 60% of your final grade. Attendance will be 80% and participation will be 20%.
3. The midterm will be given on July 2. It will cover the first 5 chapters of the book and anything I have spoken about in class. The final exam will be given on Aug 6 at 8:00 for 201 and Aug 6 at 10:00 for 202. It will cover the last 3 chapters of the book and anything I have spoken about in class since the midterm exam.
4. If you miss the midterm or the final exam, your grade will be recorded as a “0”.
5. Students who do not officially withdraw from the course prior to the University deadline for dropping classes will be issued a "F" grade for the course.

Emergency Procedures: Southern Illinois University Carbondale is committed to providing a safe and healthy environment for study and work. Because some health and safety circumstances are beyond our control, we ask that you become familiar with the SIUC Emergency Response Plan and Building Emergency Response Team (BERT) program. Emergency response information is available on posters in buildings on campus, available on BERTs website at www.bert.siu.edu, Department of Safety website www.dps.siu.edu (disaster drop down) and in Emergency Response Guidelines pamphlet. Know how to respond to each type of emergency. Instructors will provide guidance and direction to students in the classroom in the event of an emergency affecting your location. It is important that you follow these instructions and stay with your instructor during an evacuation or sheltering emergency. The Building Emergency Response Team will provide assistance to your instructor in evacuating the building or sheltering within the facility.
