Statement Regarding Students with Disabilities "Accommodations are collaborative efforts between students, faculty and Disability Access Services (DAS). Students with accommodations approved through DAS are responsible for contacting the faculty member in charge of the course prior to or during the first week of the term to discuss accommodations. Students who believe they are eligible for accommodations but who have not yet obtained approval through DAS should contact DAS immediately at 737-4098."

DIVERSITY STATEMENT The College of Public Health and Human Sciences strives to create an affirming climate for all students including underrepresented and marginalized individuals and groups. Diversity encompasses differences in age, color, ethnicity, national origin, gender, physical or mental ability, religion, socioeconomic background, veteran status, sexual orientation, and marginalized groups. We believe diversity is the synergy, connection, acceptance, and mutual learning fostered by the interaction of different human characteristics.

EXPECTATIONS FOR STUDENT CONDUCT The Student Conduct Code establishes community standards and procedures necessary to maintain and protect an environment conducive to learning, in keeping with the educational objectives of Oregon State University. This code is based on the assumption that all persons must treat one another with dignity and respect in order for scholarship to thrive. For the full Student Conduct Code see http://oregonstate.edu/studentconduct/

Academic or Scholarly Dishonesty is prohibited and considered a serious violation of the Student Conduct Code. It is defined as an act of deception in which a Student seeks to claim credit for the work or effort of another person, or uses unauthorized materials or fabricated information in any academic work or research, either through the Student's own efforts or the efforts of another. For Student Conduct and Community Standards see http://oregonstate.edu/studentconduct/http%3A/ %252Foregonstate.edu/studentconduct/faculty/facacdis.php

RELIGIOUS HOLIDAY STATEMENT Oregon State University strives to respect all religious practices. If you have religious holidays that are in conflict with any of the requirements of this class, please see me immediately so that we can make alternative arrangements. In addition to the material above, PAC Course Outlines must include:  Instructor Information including office space and phone, office time, e/mail address, and the link to the PAC Homepage or directions on how to get there.  Specific Course Policies. Any assignment that will require the student to pay for something must be clarified. Also identify if students are to purchase anything for the class. Give suggestions on where these items can be purchased and prices.  Required Statement on Late Adds: (cut and paste) Students who add this course during the first two weeks of the term will not have absences for the first two classes count against their final grade.

PAC Connection to the Baccalaureate Core Fitness Requirement: All PAC course outlines must now include the following statement. Please see the course outline example (end of document) for the format for including this information. You should cut and paste:  (cut and paste) PAC COURSE OUTLINE GUIDELINES

The Fitness requirement of the OSU Baccalaureate Core specifies that students take HHS 231, Lifetime Health and Fitness, a 2 credit lecture course. In addition students must take a 1 credit lab and may choose from HHS 241-248 or any PAC class. A previously taken PAC class will satisfy this Fitness requirement. The following learning outcome is being assessed in accordance with this requirement: Through regular and sustained engagement, demonstrate the knowledge, skill, and ability to participate in a selected physical activity for health, fitness, sport, or recreation.

Additional Information on Assessment of Student Performance:  Active participation may be used as part of the final grade. A maximum of 80% of the grade may come from participation; however, it is preferred that the weighting of participation be lower. Full participation includes being on time and staying for the entire class. You may allow a few minutes leeway. Full participation may reflect appropriate behavior, but the course outline must specify how and for what reasons points may be deducted.  You may allow ‘free’ absences where students will not be penalized for missing class for any reason. The maximum that you can allow is 10% of the total possible points. E.g. If there are 19 or 20 classes, you may allow up to 2 ‘free’ classes. If there are 13/14 classes, you can really only allow 1 ‘free’ absence. If there are only 10 classes, you may allow only 1 ‘free’ class.  Dates that assignments are due should be included, but a statement on the instructor policy for late assignments is required. If dates are not stated in the Course Outline, they must be provided in writing by some other method. There is a calendar available on Blackboard.  Do not include make up opportunities. Instead, you may design extra credit opportunities up to 10% of the total possible points in class. If your total assessment equals 200 points, you may allow up to 20 extra credit points. Extra credit opportunities must fit within the measurable learning outcomes and/or the course description. A good opportunity is to allow points for participation in campus sponsored event such as the PAC 12 Challenge, Beaver Strides, or sponsored runs. Students may attend other sections of the activity that you teach. If other instructors give you specific permission to allow students to attend, you may list these classes as extra credit. If you feel that a student would benefit from attending another one of your classes in a different but related activity, and the student can safely participate, you may allow this as extra credit. An example would be for a high level swimming student in Lap Swimming participating in Swim Training Workout.  It is recommended that assessment be on a point basis as this is easier to translate to students on Blackboard. There are other methods, however, that are just as effective in assessing student performance. They may require some creativity in posting on Blackboard.  The grading scale is to be provided. If the instructor chooses not to use the +/- system, a statement as such must be included. It is recommended that, if instructors choose not to use +/-, that they also include a statement such as: “+ and/or – grades may be used ……” [include circumstances where this might occur]  It is best to provide the number of points for each assessment item and the percentage of the total grade that the points represent.  You might include the PAC Website: http://health.oregonstate.edu/pac Additional Required Statements: (cut, paste, add the paragraph specific to your activity) Risk, Responsibility, and Fees - Risk is associated with many of life's activities including the OSU Physical Activity Course (PAC) Program. The College of Public Health and Human Sciences and the Department of Nutrition and Exercise Sciences will minimize these risks by providing safe activity areas, adequate equipment, and capable instruction. It is highly recommended that you give very serious consideration to providing yourself with a student health/accident insurance policy. These are available through the University, private carriers, or in many cases, through a family policy. If uninsured, relatively minor accidents and/or health problems can lead to great PAC COURSE OUTLINE GUIDELINES expense. If you have a condition that might affect or be affected by participation in this activity class, please inform your instructor either verbally or in writing. If you have a condition that might require special accommodations or concern, please indicate this to the instructor immediately. If you become ill during class, please notify the instructor immediately. Please do not leave class before doing so. Should you become ill or get injured and not be able to fully participate in classes, there are alternatives to allow you to still get credit. One option is to attend PAC 100, Adapted Physical Activity. This can be arranged through your instructor; please communicate with them if you have a problem during the term. [Paragraph specific to activity. Example -- Bowling is not a high risk activity, but muscle and joint injuries can occur with improper technique or overuse. Because a weighted object is being used, lack of attention to safety precautions can cause injury. Some bowlers use wrist/finger braces, but this should not be necessary at the beginning level.] Because of the high cost of the program and the lack of full funding from University resources, there is a PAC fee charged for all PAC classes. The fee helps support all aspects of the program; it is not necessarily connected 100% to the specific class. Refunds of the PAC fee follow the University guidelines for refunds. Some courses have additional course fees that are directly linked to costs associated with the course. Refunds of the additional course fees may need to be adjusted, depending on when the course was dropped. All fees have been approved by the University Fees Committee and are billed to student accounts upon registration.

Optional Material to Include on PAC Outlines:  Additional Course Information: Include the days of the week, the time the class will begin and end, what is expected at the beginning and end of the class, the location and any special information about where they will meet or the facilities,  Deadlines: Deadlines for assignments must be in writing, but this could be on the written guidelines and not on the Course Outline. Putting it both places is preferred. (See note above regarding guidelines for late assignments. This is required on the course outline.)  Syllabus: Providing a day to day description of what is covered is helpful, but not required.  Assignments: Complete written information on assignments is required but can be provided in a separate document on Blackboard. Your policies on late work must be on the written guidelines for the assignment or on the Course Outline.  Course Policies: If you have particular standards for conduct, it is best to present this in writing, but that does not preclude the instructor implementing these policies. An example might be the use of headphones during a running class. Another example might be appropriate attire such as wearing a cap during class or text messaging during class.

EVALUATION OF STUDENT PERFORMANCE: 1. Participation: 81 points (52% of the final grade) 3 pts. per class will be awarded for attending and participating in each class. Students will be allowed to miss 3 classes during the term without penalty. Points for attending all classes and not using the ‘free’ days will count as extra credit points. Point deductions can be made for tardiness, leaving early, not assisting with class equipment duties or unsportsmanlike conduct. Students who add this course during the first two weeks of the term will not have absences for the first two classes count against their final grade. 2. Goal Write Ups: 10 points (6% of the final grade) Students are to complete 2 goal reports: #1 includes: Your name (1pt.), why you took the course (1pt.), your experience with triathlons (1pt.), what you hope to accomplish in the course (1pt.), and one other student’s name and interesting fact about them (1pt.). This will be due on the 1st Friday of the term. #2 (SMART) includes: your test out times/projected goal times (must be specific to your test out times in class or used from a recent race, projected run time for 5K can be found using the runners world calculator found in external links tab, projected biking can be found in test out times excel document, and a swim estimation will be decided by you, 2pts.), and overall future goal (whole time for triathlon including transitions between legs of competition, 3pts). This will be due on the 2nd Friday of the term. 3. Video Analysis: 10 points (6% of the final grade) There will be a video analysis of your swimming technique, you must compare and write about how your style compares to what we have taught in class and what the videos on blackboard describe. The specific positions you must discuss are: PAC COURSE OUTLINE GUIDELINES a) Your arm entry into water, (Is it out away from your head? Where are you starting your stroke?) b) Your angle of body in water, (Do you form a wedge? Are you like a sailboat or a barge?) c) Your leg/kick mechanics, (Are you following the beat kick mechanics? Does your kick start at your hip?) d) Your head position in water, (Is your head down, where is it when you go to take a breath?) e) Your breathing technique/rotation. This must be completed prior to the 7th week of class. 4. Outside Workout Log: 10 points (6% of the final grade) Students will select whichever leg of the race they feel they need the most work in and over the weekends of week 2,3,4,5 they will create a planned workout and complete it. This will be turned in on Friday of the 7th week. 1) Select the leg you need to work on (running, biking, swimming) 2) Select what about that leg you need to work on (endurance, speed, technique, and plan a workout around that element). Endurance: work on increasing mileage by slowing your pace (this is often the most difficult for individuals you believe going all out during your workout will make you better in everything) Speed: work on working out at your goal pace (set the mileage you would like to do and break it down into increments that you can maintain that pace, taking breaks in between sets. ex. I want to run 3 miles at 7:00 minute miles, I am going to break the run down into 6 3:30 minutes half-miles with 1-2 minutes of rest in between) Technique: select a specific skill that you need to work on and frame your workout around that (ex. swimming I want to focus on breathing, take time to warm up, then drill specific drills for breathing, then swim your harder sets incorporating this drill, then back to slow drilling, this will help you focus on your skill even when you are tired) The log needs to be specific including: what your workout is (2pts), the volume (distance or time, 2pts), intensity (how hard, 2pts), when it is implemented (weeks, 1pt), and what you hope to affect with the training selected (3pts). 5. Mock Training Plan: 25 Points (17 % of the final grade) Students are to complete and turn in a detailed mock training plan. This must include: a. The timeframe of your training and what event you will be doing (ex. 10 weeks of running training) b. Your goal for the race (specific pace, finish time, just to finish, top 1/3, etc) c. The volume (distance or time but not both), the intensity (how hard, this must be acknowledged if percentages are done, 50% of your projected race pace or 50% of total run speed effort?), and the total workload (volume x intensity, units for the week) for each of the required 10 week trainings d. Include one cross training activity and why you are including it and when during the training (can be anything, but must justify why you are using it, training similar muscle, cardio pathway, increasing flexibility or core strength) e. The plan must also follow the progressive overload theory of training as demonstrated in the handout in class (3 up 1 down) Three portions of this assignment will be due and built upon during the course. The first portion of this assignment will be due on the Friday of the 4th week. This will include: The event and cross-training sections of the rubric. The second portion of the assignment will be due on the Friday of the 6th week, and will include: Weekly totals, Progressive Overload Theory, and Intensity Progression. The final portion of this assignment will be due on the Friday of the 8th week, and will be a final submission of the plan. Only your final submission PAC COURSE OUTLINE GUIDELINES of your plan will be due the 8th week. Feedback will be given for both submissions on the 4th and 6th week, points are associated for on time submission of the assessment. See grading rubric for further grading criteria. *For those that have completed this assignment in prior classes, you will be given an alternative assignment that helps to develop your instructional skills, event planning, or participant orientation development. These will be decided on a case by case basis and are only offered to students who have already completed the training plan in a prior Triathlon Training Class. 6. Competition & Write Up: 20 points (13% of your grade) 10 pts are given for participation in the event and 10 pts are given for the event write-up. Students who participate in the final event must complete a detailed report. These items are required: weather conditions, the time that it took for you to complete each leg and transition, energy level at each leg, how you felt during the race, and a discussion of the goal you set and your accomplishments. If you have already competed in the class or another triathlon discuss more on how this triathlon compared to previously competed in triathlons. This will be due the Sunday 11:59 pm after the Final Race. 6. *Students who are unable to compete may volunteer and include a volunteer write up. Details will be provided and are dependent on the circumstances.

Approximately 156 Points: Grading Scale: 89.5% and up = A, 87% = B+, 83% = B, 80% = B-, 77% = C+, 73% = C, 70% = C-/S, (below 70% = U), 67% = D+, 63% = D, 60% = D, below 60% = F.

RISK, RESPONSIBILITY, AND FEES Risk is associated with many of life's activities including the OSU Physical Activity Course (PAC) Program. The College of Public Health and Human Sciences and the Department of Exercise and Sports Sciences will minimize these risks by providing safe activity areas, adequate equipment, and capable instruction. It is highly recommended that you give very serious consideration to providing yourself with a student health and accident insurance policy. These are available through the University, private carriers, or in many cases, through a family policy. If uninsured, relatively minor accidents and/or health problems can lead to great expense. If you have a condition that might affect or be affected by participation in this activity class, please inform your instructor either verbally or in writing. If you have a condition that might require special accommodations or concern, please indicate this to the instructor immediately. If you become ill during class, please notify the instructor immediately. Please do not leave class before doing so. Should you become ill or get injured and not be able to fully participate in classes, there are alternatives to allow you to still get credit. One option is to attend PAC 100, Adapted Physical Activity. This can be arranged through your instructor; please communicate with her if you have a problem during the term. Wearing appropriate equipment and practicing proper mechanics can cut down a percentage of injuries; however, endurance sports, especially running & biking, can result in overuse injuries such as shin splints, stress fractures, and sometimes wearing down of joint cartilage and tendons. It is the responsibility of the students involved to know their limits and body. If individuals experience pains due to the increased volume, they should inform the instructor. A laboratory fee to help offset the high cost of the program accompanies all PAC classes. Fees are not necessarily connected directly to the specific class but go to support all aspects of the program. Refunds of the PAC fee follow the University guidelines for refunds as printed in the Schedule of Classes. Fees are billed to student accounts. PAC COURSE OUTLINE GUIDELINES Statement Regarding Students with Disabilities "Accommodations are collaborative efforts between students, faculty and Disability Access Services (DAS). Students with accommodations approved through DAS are responsible for contacting the faculty member in charge of the course prior to or during the first week of the term to discuss accommodations. Students who believe they are eligible for accommodations but who have not yet obtained approval through DAS should contact DAS immediately at 737-4098."
