Instructor – Bamman, M Office: Weil 104 Office Hours: MW 8-9; TR 9-11 Office Phone: 334-833-4006 [email protected] http://mbamman.huntingdon.edu Class TURNITIN.COM: Class #9252763 password: bamman

COURSE DESCRIPTION: Students in this course will acquire knowledge of biomechanics that is critical in the design of conditioning and exercise training programs. Analysis of human movement from an anatomical and mechanical perspective will aid in planning for physical activity and sport-specific motor skill performance. Students will enhance their knowledge of various factors affecting human movement.

LEARNING OUTCOMES: Upon completion of this course the student will be able to: 1. Demonstrate knowledge of physiological principles of physical activity, including biological sciences pertaining to the structure and function of the human body and human movement; wellness (exercise, nutrition, and health-related fitness, ets.); and prevention of injuries and implementation of emergency procedures. ALSDE .33(1)(a)2. 2. Demonstrate knowledge of biomechanical principles of physical activity for analyzing movement, motor behavior and learning, including life-span motor development and psycho-social dimensions of physical activity. ALSDE .33(1) (a)3. 3. Education competencies and/or proficiencies specific to the area[s] of Risk Management, Injury, and Therapeutic Exercise for the Athletic Training Education Program have been matched within the content of this course. Students will receive instruction and/or evaluation relative to the identified educational competencies and/or proficiencies. ALSDE .33(1)(a)2. 4. Identify the bones and specific bony process of the human skeletal system and identify the ligaments associated with the joints of the upper and lower extremities. 5. Identify the muscles of the human body, including the origin, insertion, and action of those muscles responsible for movements such as throwing, kicking, walking, and running. 6. Apply fundamental biomechanics principles as they relate to movement patterns of the upper and lower extremities, and the torso. 7. Systematically evaluate various movement patterns of the human body in a variety of physical activities. REQUIRED TEXT: Hamilton, N, Weimar, W. & K Luttgens. (2011).

EXPECTED MEASURABLE OUTCOMES: Students will: 1. Complete a battery of tests designed to measure knowledge of Kinesiology, Biomechanics and Motor Skills (50%). 2. Complete and submit several homework and laboratory assignments (30%). 3. Complete a series of quizzes, both announced and unannounced. (20%)

ASSESSMENT:

Tests 500 points A = 900 – 1000 points Labs 200 points B = 800 – 899 points Quizzes 200 points C = 700 – 799 points Journals/Homework 100 points D = 600 – 699 points

EXAMS & QUIZZES: Each exam will consist of multiple choice, true/false, matching, short answer, and/or essay questions randomly selected from the material covered. Questions will require the application of information given during lecture, within the text, from assigned readings and/or websites.

Quiz material will generally be based on information assigned for the current class period. Quizzes will be administered at the beginning of the class period unless otherwise stated. If you are late, you may not make up any questions missed due to your tardiness. Missed quizzes will result in a score of zero (0), unless arrangements were made in advance. Part of your quiz grade may come from group work, oral quizzes or journal entries.

LAB ASSIGNMENTS: Assignments are from the end of each chapter in your textbook. The instructor will assign them on a weekly basis. The purpose of these assignments is to enhance your ability to apply your knowledge relative to biomechanical principles, motor behavior, and learning across the lifespan. Assignments will be listed on the course schedule and are to be turned in on the date identified.

JOURNALS: Each week every student will submit a journal entry of at least 200 words. Each entry will be submitted in electronic form to [email protected] The due dates and times for each journal entry are listed on the syllabus calendar.

CLASSROOM POLICIES: Students are expected to be on time for the start of class. If the student is not present when the instructor checks role, then the student will be considered absent for the class. Quizzes missed due to tardiness cannot be made up. Students may not make up assignments, nor submit late assignments, in the case of an unexcused absence. The student will receive a zero (0) for the assignment. No hats, no tobacco, no cell phones. There will be no exceptions to these policies. ATTENDANCE POLICY: Attending all classes at Huntingdon College is mandatory. Students are expected to attend all scheduled classes.

CLASSROOM CONDUCT:

Huntingdon College seeks to nurture wisdom, service, and faith. As a community of learners, we hold one another to a high level of conduct. Learning cannot take place in an environment of disrespect or disorder. In order to facilitate learning and discovery, Huntingdon students and faculty are expected to conduct themselves in a way befitting the 155 year-old tradition of Huntingdon College.

I. What faculty can expect from students: 1. Students are expected to treat their peers and professors with respect. Students shall not interrupt their fellow students or professor. Derogatory or sarcastic comments directed at students or professors are never acceptable. 2. Students shall attend all scheduled classes. 3. Students shall bring all necessary books and other materials to every class. 4. Students shall arrive for class on time. 5. Students shall not leave class early or gather materials together until the class has ended. 6. Students shall not engage in text messaging (receiving or sending) during class or talking on cell phones during class. If students have an emergency and must receive a message or call, they shall alert their professor at the beginning of class and then step out of the class to take the emergency call or message. 7. Students shall refrain from Internet surfing during class. If a faculty member believes that a student is using his or her electronic device in ways unrelated to class, the professor may prohibit the student from bringing his or her computer to class. 8. Students shall not talk with fellow students during class about topics unrelated to the course. Side conversations are distracting to one's colleagues and the professor. 9. Students shall uphold the standards of academic integrity and the Student Honor Code.

Failure to adhere to these standards represents a violation of the Huntingdon College Student Code of Classroom Conduct and may result in students being asked to leave the class. Repeated violations that cause disruption to the learning environment may result in additional sanctions, including removal from the course or, in extreme circumstances, dismissal from the College.

SUPPORT SERVICES FOR STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES: Faculty at Huntingdon College make every effort to accommodate unique and special needs of students with respect to speech, hearing, vision, seating, or other possible adaptions. Please notify the Disability Services Intake Coordinator, Ms. Camilla Irvin, as soon as possible of requested accommodations.

STATON CENTER FOR LEARNING ENRICHMENT: The Center for Writing and Critical Thinking, located in Jackson 112, provides support at all levels to students working to improve proficiency at skills associated with college-level reading, writing, and critical thinking. The Center offers an active interface between student, instructor, assignment, and tutor. Free one-on-one tutoring is available to all Huntingdon students, either by appointment or on a walk-in basis, Monday through Fri- day from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Contact Ms. Jamie Brazell, Assistant Director, at (334) 833-4454 or by email at [email protected] to schedule an appointment or for more information.
