Structure: During this course, you will rotate through three sections
in order to experience the three sub-disciplines of kinesiology (sport, dance,
and exercise). The rotations are five weeks in length, and during each
rotation, you will participate in the associated lecture and laboratory. Each
faculty member will explain the requirements, evaluation and grading procedure
for that section. Please note that the rotation starting dates below:
August 23 (Thursday): First day of rotation 1
September 27 (Thursday): First
day of rotation 2
November 01 (Thursday): First
day of rotation 3

General
Course Objectives (Integrated Departmental):
1. Demonstrate an
understanding of the multi-disciplinary and integrated nature of kinesiology.
2. Apply,

knowledge across diverse settings and populations to enhance quality of life
and encourage adoption of healthy lifestyles.
3. Apply
innovative technology to understand and enhance human movement.
4. Demonstrate
reasoning, problem solving, critical thinking, and reflective strategies in the
pursuit and application of movement related knowledge.
5. Articulate and
apply basic theoretical concepts of the sub-disciplines of kinesiology to the
acquisitions of appropriate and skillful performance behaviors in the movement
forms of sport, dance and exercise.
6. Demonstrate an
awareness of and ability to access the research basis for theory in the
sub-disciplines of kinesiology.
7. Recognize

Section Objectives (related to each sub-disciplines of
kinesiology):
Dance:
1. Recognize dance
as an art form with its own body of knowledge and its relationship to other art
forms and sport.
2. Develop an
understanding of time (beat, rhythm, accent), space (level, direction,
pathway), and energy (flow, weight) as basic elements of all movement forms.
3. Explain and
demonstrate through dance basic biomechanical concepts/principles.
Sport:
1. Identify and
describe conceptual nature of games and sport
2. Demonstrate
basic movement patterns that are fundamental to performance in sport activities
3. Demonstrate an
understanding of the relevance of the sub-disciplines of kinesiology to

Course
Policies:
Each of the three instructors will discuss the specific requirements and
attendance policy for that section during the first day of rotation. Following
requirements apply to all sections:
Time Elements
Class begins promptly on the scheduled hour. If you are absent you will loose
one scaled point or one percent of your total grade for each absence.
Exams: There will be exams associated with
each section of the core. Each instructor will determine the content and type
of examination for that section. In case of a medical or a family emergency, a
make-up exam can be scheduled only if the professor is notified prior to the
class meeting. This requires that we meet and discuss the issue, it is agreed
that your reason for missing the assignment is valid, and we excuse you from
the exam. You well receive a 0 (zero) for the exam if this procedure is not
followed.
1. Students will not
be allowed to leave the room during exams. Please attend to any personal
needs before the exam. Personal communication devices may not be used as
calculators during an exam.
2. Make-up exams
will be considered only under exceptional circumstances. (Note: "I
overslept", "I'm tired", "I'm not prepared", etc. are not
exceptional circumstances!)
3. Any student who
fails to contact the instructor prior to any missed exam may not be
allowed to makeup the exam.
4. Absence for
medical reasons requires written verification by a physician.
5. Exams will not
be rescheduled based on a student's personal work/school schedule. Please
plan ahead.
6. Questions/concerns
regarding grading for any exam must be resolved with the instructor within one
week of the date graded-exams are returned to the student.
7. All exams are
non-circulating.
Assignments: Those turned
in one day late will receive 50% credit. After one day, no credit will be
given.
Academic Dishonesty: Cheating and
plagiarism
will not be tolerated. Any student engaging in academic dishonesty (e.g.,
cheating, fabrication, facilitating academic dishonesty, plagiarism) is subject
to discipline Severe penalties will be imposed including an F on the exam, and
potentially and F in the course, and may also be subject to more severe
discipline by the University. Cheating or plagiarism
in connection with an academic program at a campus is listed in Section 41301,
Title V, California Code of Regulations, as an offense for which a student may
be expelled, suspended, or given a less severe disciplinary sanction. Any student
caught being dishonest will automatically fail the examination, assignment, the
course or may be subject to more severe University discipline. See
university catalog for details on academic dishonesty, cheating, fabrication,
facilitating academic dishonesty, plagiarism and faculty policy on academic
dishonesty.Please
review the Student Conduct on Academic Dishonesty in the current Schedule of
Classes and in the University Catalog. Each student is expected to be familiar
with, and abide by, the conditions of student conduct, as presented in the CSUN
Catalog (Appendix C), with emphasis on sections: Student Conduct Code, Academic
Dishonesty, Faculty Policy on Academic Dishonesty, and Penalties.
Personal Communication Devices: All personal
communication devices (i. e., pagers, cell phones, etc.) must be turned off and
put away while in class. This policy may be modified on an individual basis, if
the need is warranted. Personal communication devices may not be used as
calculators during an exam.
Behavior: Treat other
students and the instructor with respect and civility. Free discussion,
inquiry, and expression is encouraged in this class. Classroom behavior that
interferes with either (a) the instructor’s ability to conduct the class or (b)
the ability of students to benefit from the instruction is not acceptable.
Examples may include routinely entering class late or departing early; use of
beepers, cellular phones, or other electronic devices; repeatedly talking in
class without being recognized; talking while others are speaking; or arguing
in a way that is perceived as “crossing the civility line.” Eating food
or chewing ice during lecture or discussion time is unacceptable. Turn-off
cellular phones and other communications electronics.
Students
with exceptional needs: This instructor,
in conjunction with California State University Northridge, is committed to
upholding and maintaining all aspects of the federal Americans with
Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of

should be made as early as possible. Any requests for accommodations will be
reviewed in a timely manner to determine their appropriateness to this setting.
Attention:
Usually, Last-day-to-drop is Friday of the 2nd week of classes,
but check Schedule of Classes for specific day
.
Course
Grading:
