COURSE ASSIGNMENTS

Course assignments include laboratory activities, a behavior modification plan and occasional progress updates, brief chapter quizzes and discussion board posts.

Lab Activities (LA): You will complete twenty-five (25) lab activities from the textbook. These activities will be completed using Cengage MindTap – a digital online learning tool. You will be graded based upon completion and effort and not assessment or judgement of your wellness or fitness.

Behavior Modification Plan and Reflection Paper: Using laboratory activities 2.1 and 2.2, you will choose a behavior that you wish to modify to improve your health and/or wellness over the course of the semester. At the end of the semester (see topic schedule for date), you will complete a 2-3 page reflection paper on the outcome of your behavior modification plan. This assignment will require you to identify and reflect upon the challenges and barriers faced when implementing behavior modification, the successes and outcomes experienced as a result of the behavior modification process, and an overview and critique of the strategies utilized when addressing behavior modification steps and goals. This reflection paper must be submitted as a Word document (.doc) and uploaded to the Brightspace course website. Please follow proper writing mechanics and formal writing style (Spelling and Grammar check is encouraged). A rubric for the assessment of this Plan Reflection will be provided. Five times throughout the semester you will provide a brief update of your progress on your behavior modification plan.

Chapter Quizzes (CQ): You will complete a 10 question, multiple-choice quiz based on content learned from the assigned readings in each chapter of the textbook.

Discussion Board Posts (DP): Over the course of the semester, you will participate in a variety of discussion board posts with peers and the instructor to reflect upon the content in the textbook, lab activities, or other wellness and fitness related topics. You will be asked to provide an original response to the discussion board prompt. Although it is not a requirement to respond to peer’s (other students) posts you are encouraged to do so. Your post will be graded upon completion and effort/depth.

PARTICIPATION IN DISCUSSION

This course occasionally uses online discussion to document understanding of material and facilitate interaction and idea sharing. Typically, participation in online discussions is based on posted responses and replies (Dawley, 2007). A response is a discussion board posting that addresses the specific discussion topic and a reply is a discussion board posting that addresses a posting of another student or the instructor. For this course, responses are required. Replies are not required but encouraged. Participation points for responses are assigned as follows:

Full credit (10 points): responses and replies thoroughly addresses each part of the discussion instructions or question; are effectively organized; display correct grammar and spelling; show evidence of critical thinking; and meet the required deadline. Partial credit (1 - 9 points): posting is complete but does not meet the full credit requirements. Zero credit (0 points): no posting (participation) on the assigned discussion topic by the due date.

ONLINE GUIDELINES

There are unique responsibilities that come with participating in a course with an online component.

Electronic or equipment failure: It is your responsibility to maintain your computer and other equipment needed to participate in the online component of this class. Equipment failures will not be an acceptable excuse for late or absent assignments.

Netiquette: Our text-based communication is vital in this course since it is the primary - and possibly only - way we will connect with each other. Please be careful and considerate in all your communications with each other and your instructor.

The online medium is poor at conveying tone. Consider what you are saying and remember that your intent might not be inferred by your readers (fellow students and instructors). Take a moment to re-read everything you write: assume that it will be taken in the worst possible light. And extend courtesy to others: assume the most charitable light possible. Both of these steps will make communication easier and far more civil.

Classroom equivalency: Online communications, including e-mail, discussion threads, and chat room participation are equivalent to communication in a physical classroom and are subject to the Student Code of Conduct. Specifically:

Posting photos or comments that would be off-topic or offensive in a classroom are also off-topic in an online discussion thread.
Off-color language (swearing) is never appropriate.
Using angry or abusive language is called "flaming", and is not acceptable.
Do not use ALL CAPS, except for titles, because it is the equivalent of shouting online. Avoid overuse of certain punctuation marks such as exclamation points (!!!!!) and question marks (?????). Multiple punctuation marks used occasionally for emphasis is acceptable.
Online communications, including e-mail in Brightspace are University property and subject to GRAMA regulations. Privacy regarding communication in Brightspace must not be assumed unless mutually agreed upon in advance.

As with assignments, the instructor will respond to email in a reasonable amount of time (usually with 48 hours). Use the maine.edu email address as the preferred means of communication. Note that content may be shared with the class when there are valid teaching/learning reasons for doing so and mutual privacy agreements for the communications have not been previously made.

TECHNOLOGY REQUIREMENTS AND ASSISTANCE

Brightspace Technical Requirements: D2L recommends having the latest version of whatever browser is being used on any computer or mobile device. Brightspace works very well on mobile Apple and Android devices via web browser. The Brightspace Pulse app in the Apple App Store and Google Play also allows you to receive notifications regarding your courses on your device.

The following Online course guidelines apply:

It is your responsibility to maintain your computer and related equipment in order to participate in the online component of this course.
Equipment failures will not be an acceptable excuse for late or absent assignments.
You are responsible for making sure your assignments, including attachments, are received before the deadline.
You are responsible for submitting assignments with the required naming convention, correct file extension, and using the software type and version required for the assignment.
Your instructor may elect to use a plagiarism detection service in this course, in which case you may be required to submit your written work to such a service as part of your assignment.

Resources for technology related questions include:

Instructional Technology and Media Services: ITMS provides the University of Southern Maine community with access to instructional and multimedia technologies and support for the use of technology in the classroom.

Statement on Academic Honesty

Cheating will not be tolerated. Any evidence of cheating will be fully investigated and the maximum penalty will be applied under the circumstances. The Student Academic Integrity Policy specifies students’ rights and consequences of conduct involving cheating, plagiarism, collusion, fraud, theft, etc.

Wherever the ideas or words of others appear in your work they must be properly cited. Failure to make clear the sources of any outside material that you incorporate in your work constitutes plagiarism and is against University policy.

It is the responsibility of faculty to enforce responsible classroom behaviors and manage courses in accordance with policy outlined in the Faculty Handbook (https://usm.maine.edu/provost/faculty-handbook).
