Course Objectives
1. To understand basic cardiovascular physiology.
2. To recognize basic cardiac arrrhythmias.
3. To understand 12 lead ECGs.
4. To understand and apply the art of exercise prescription.
5. To understand the principles of exercise testing.
Course Evaluation
1. Calculation of final grade:
|
1 Cardiovascular Physiology Test |
10% |
|
2 ECG Tests |
20% |
|
3 ACSM Book Tests |
30% |
|
Case studies |
20% |
|
Final Exam |
20% |
2. All case studies are to be completed on your own and without the help of any kind. The case studies are due at the beginning of class, 1 week after they are handed out, unless otherwise noted. If you have problems, there will be ample time for you to meet with me and get your questions answered. Please write and sign the following pledge on the cover sheet of each case study: “Help was neither given nor received in the completion of this case study.” Your paper will not be graded unless you include this on the cover sheet. Also, you are required to type your case study reports, neatness counts.
3. If you miss a Test or the Final, or fail to turn in a case study, your grade will be recorded as a “0”.
4. Attendance will be taken before each class.
5. For the Final Exam, there will be one 12-lead ECG to interpret, an exercise prescription case study, and 50 multiple choice questions from the ACSM Book.
6. The tentative grading scale will be as follows:
|
90% and above |
A |
|
78 - 89% |
B |
|
65 - 77% |
C |
|

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 BERT’s website at www.bert.siu.edu, Department of Safety’s 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.
