College Mission Statement: The College of Southern Idaho, a comprehensive community college, provides educational, social, cultural, economic, and workforce development opportunities that meet the diverse needs of the communities it serves. CSI prepares students to lead enriched, productive and responsible lives in a global society.

Graduation Requirements for Physical Education majors: • Students must complete program requirements for their PHYE degree (see program advising checklist). • Students must complete a Physical Education Graduation Survey. • Students must complete PHYE 230 Physical Education Exit Seminar. During this course, students assemble and

polish the PHYE portfolio, which has been developed from portfolio entries in earlier classes. Course Description: This course provides an investigation of the skeletal, articular, muscular, and nervous systems as they relate to the performance and analysis of human movement. These four systems form an anatomical model in which participants will study by region and demonstrate the relationships between the underlying anatomy and various activities such as posture, balance, walking, running, reaching, grasping, etc. This course discusses the clinical implications associated with disease, injury, and age-related changes in the basic anatomical model as they affect the outcome of movement performance. This course is designed for physical education majors. Textbook: Oatis, CA. (2009).

Principles of Human Anatomy. 13th ed., New York: John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Prerequisites: None Policies and Procedures:

• Behavior: Behavior is to be appropriate to a positive learning environment. You are expected to conduct yourself in a professional manner in this course. You should treat all class members with respect and be thoughtful in your own contributions to the class. You will receive one warning concerning inappropriate behavior; if the behavior persists, you will be dropped from the course and the matter will be referred to student services for college discipline.

• All assignments are due on the date assigned. Unless prior arrangements are made, late work (assignments, tests/quizzes, projects) is not accepted.

• Attendance: A class missed due to required participation in a verified school activity will not be considered an absence. Students who miss class or are absent for any reason, are still responsible for completing all course requirements. When the number of class hours absent exceeds the number of course credits, the instructor has the authority to send a notice to the student as a warning and/or refer the student to his/her advisor. When the number

Course Syllabus 3 Credits

of class hours absent exceeds twice the number of course credits, the instructor has the authority to fail the student in the course (College Catalog, page 35).

• Drop Policy: The student is responsible to drop the course. A student may drop a course or all courses prior to the end of late registration (first Friday of the semester) without a “W” being recorded on the student’s official transcript. A student initiated drop after the late registration period is considered a withdrawal, and results in the grade of “W”. (Students may drop courses online until the end of the late registration period. In order to withdraw from one or more courses following late registration, a completed registration form is required. Instructions on the form indicate when a signature of instructor and/or Financial Aid advisor is required. The completed form may be submitted to Admissions & Records or any off-campus center.) NOTE: Students may withdraw from courses until 75% of the course meetings have elapsed. Students must withdraw themselves if they decide not to complete the class. Students who stop attending yet do not drop/withdraw from the class will get a failing grade (or whatever grade they earned). After 75% of the term has elapsed (12th week of the semester for fall and spring full-semester classes) students cannot initiate a drop/withdrawal. Students will be issued a grade after this deadline.

• Participation: Students learn best when they are actively involved in class activities and discussions. Attendance is mandatory for the student to be successful in this course. Excused absences must be made up and arrangements made with the course instructor.

• Honesty: Students are expected to be honest in all aspects of their work. All work is evaluated on the assumption that the work presented is the student’s own. Students are subject to the grade of failure (F) for any of the following dishonesty practices. Cheating--the improper use of books, notes, other student’s test or quizzes, or other aids during an examination or quiz. Collaboration--submission of a paper in which substantial portions are paraphrased as one’s own from, or identical to another student’s paper. Plagiarism--submission of a paper in which substantial portions are paraphrased without documentation or are identical to published or unpublished material from another author.

Grading Policy: Grades will be based upon the following assessment:

• Attendance and participation: 10 points per class period • Labs: 25 points each • Exams: 100 points each (four total) • Final Project: 150 points

Grading Code:

• A = 100-90 • B = 89-80 • C = 79-70 • D = 69-60 • F = 59 and below

Intended Student Learning Outcomes:

Learning Outcome 1: Thoroughly review the underlying musculoskeletal and neuromuscular anatomy of the

human body as it relates to the performance and analysis of various locomotive and non-locomotive motor skills. Areas of focus will specifically include osteology, arthrology, myology, and neurology of the trunk and both the upper and lower limbs.

Activity: discussion, training, skills practice, exams Outcome Assessment: Quizzes, Unit Exams and Rubric Learning Outcome 2: Introduce various clinical topics associated with disease, injury, and aging as they affect

the production of normal human movement. Encourage a deeper and broader appreciation for the complexities of the human musculoskeletal and neuromuscular systems and their implications for human movement.

Common Injury Project

The Common Injury project is both a research project and a presentation. This project

serves as your final exam, and the project will be kept for your exit seminar and final electronic

portfolio for the degree. This project will require close to 20 hours of work.

For this project you will research a common injury using at least two resources other

than your textbook. The resources should be scholarly review articles or peer reviewed works

as I have exhibited in class. You will discuss the mechanics and pathomechanics of human

movement as it relates to the joint. You will also discuss common ways the injury occurs, how it

is treated, and ways to prevent the injury in the future (this should include prevention and all

four major components of exercise).

Students will collect information and compile it within Canvas. The instructor will give

due dates for each component part of the assignment (SEE RUBRIC) and ultimately students will

present their project the last day of class as their final exam.

OUTLINE:

Includes section headings:

• Pathomechanics – What are the pathomechanics of this injury • Explanation – explanation of why your particular Injury is common • Justification – How does one recover from this injury, and/or prevent it? • Description – description of the injury, and the mechanics of the injury, as well as the biomechanical

processes necessary to understand the injury • Personal Reaction – your personal reaction. How does your knowledge of what you have

found/discovered change how you view the body, and the biomechanical properties of the human body?

1. Report on Actions/Changes from previous semester incorporated into current semester (indicate semester): I taught the course in the PTA lab again, and we used a new book. The book got good reviews, and even though the labs were not as good as the previous text, the usefulness of the book itself was nice, and we used the online learning system from McGraw Hill which was great!

2. Student Learning Outcomes:

a) Outcome(s) to be measured (as listed on the syllabus) Learning Outcome 1: Thoroughly review the underlying musculoskeletal and neuromuscular anatomy

of the human body as it relates to the performance and analysis of various locomotive and non-locomotive motor skills. Areas of focus will specifically include osteology, arthrology, myology, and neurology of the trunk and both the upper and lower limbs.

Revised Spring ‘11

Every student passed the class, only one student failed to complete the entire final project, but due to a death in the family they were given space to complete the work to the best of their ability and their overall class grade was a high B, even without most of the final project.

3. Observations/Conclusions/Action: (I f you received institutional funds to attend a workshop/ conference during the academic year, please assess results of conference material incorporated into the course.)

This course really needs a healthy laboratory component, the challenges are always going to be that they labs require hands on experiments where you palpate muscles on another human being, and the sheer volume of people (usually less than 12) makes the room/environment extremely important to protect. The students need to feel safe and able to do what the lab requires without feeling like the space is too limiting or the exercises are too uncomfortable.

4. What significant things did you learn from the student evaluations? (http://evaluation.csi.edu/instructor Students enjoyed the book and the teaching style I used, they wanted more hands on or face to face time in class and they needed to have more accountability for learning the terminology. Their comments suggest to me that a hybrid design is fine, as long as they have consistent lab times (not on Monday due to holidays) and as long as they can show up for the lab prepared to apply what they learned in the learn smarts and from their quizzes…

5. How might student comments help you improve the quality of your instruction, classroom presentation, etc.?

I would move the class days, incorporate more hands on expectations, and set up the class such that the students read and prepared for the lab prior to arriving!

PHYA 244 Mountain Biking Syllabus 1 Credit

DEFINITION, HISTORY & PHILOSOPHY Mountain Biking Activity Definition. This activity includes traversing of rocks and washouts, and steep declines, on dirt trails, logging roads, and other unpaved environments. These bicycles need to be able to withstand the stresses of off-road use with obstacles such as logs and rocks. Most mountain bikes use wheels with rims which are 559mm in ISO sizing, colloquially referred to as "26-inch", although the term is inaccurate as it covers too many rim and tire sizes to be meaningful. Wheels used on mountain bikes usually use wide, knobby tires for good traction on uneven terrain and shock absorption. Since the mid-1990s, front wheel suspension has become the norm and since the late 1990s, full front and rear suspension has become increasingly common. Mountain Biking History Summary. The history of the mountain bike includes contributions from cycle-cross in Europe and the Roughstuff Fellowship in the UK. The name "mountain bike" first appeared in print in 1966 as "mountain bicycle". The mountain bike was a modified heavy cruiser bicycle used for freewheeling down mountain trails. The sport became popular in the 1970s in Marin County, California, USA. The 2007 documentary film, Klunkerz: A Film About Mountain Bikes, looks at this period of off-road cycling in detail. However, it was not until the late 1970s and early 1980s that road bicycle companies started to manufacture mountain bicycles using high-tech lightweight materials, such as M4 aluminum, although in recent years, titanium and carbon fiber frames have become more common but can be very expensive. The first mass production mountain bike was the Specialized Stumpjumper, first produced in 1981. Throughout the 1990s and 2000s, mountain biking moved from a little-known sport to a mainstream activity. Mountain Biking Philosophy Summary. There are several different styles of mountain biking, usually defined by the terrain, and therefore bikes employed. Styles of mountain bike riding and mountain bikes have evolved rapidly in recent years leading to terms such as Free ride and "Trail bike" being used to categorize mountain bikes. Grading Policy: Grades will be based upon the following assessment:

• Attendance and participation: 75% • Skills Assessment Test: 25%

Grading Code: • A = 100-90 • B = 89-80 • C = 79-70 • D = 69-60 • F = 59 and below

COURSE STRUCTURE & STRATEGY The course is designed to help students develop skills, form an appreciation for safety, and gain an understanding of mountain biking history and equipment. The following value statements help guide course strategy:

• The fundamentals of mountain biking will be taught in this course through a carefully selected sequence of skills, starting with the most basic:

To assure maximum opportunity for learning, we have the pre-planned semester course schedule, which will be followed. The schedule takes students through a progressive series of steps. Note that the course schedule may be adapted to facilitate individual differences in learning abilities.

New techniques will be introduced and demonstrated to help reduce the risk of injury.

• A safe and caring learning environment will be created.

All interested students are welcomed in this course, no matter what their ability. Whenever possible, personal attention will be provided to enhance learning.

Mountain biking has inherent risks, and in the interest of safety, students are asked to follow class rules. Anyone not adhering to the rules will be asked to leave class.

• Proper assessment and evaluation will be provided

Near the end of the course, an assessment of the skills learned in the course will be administered.

Academic materials and lecture subject matter will be evaluated by the use of a written final exam.

• Course content will include suggestions and guidance for a physically active lifestyle

The course is taught in a way which allows students to gain an appreciation of mountaineering, and physical activity in general, as a healthy and viable lifetime recreational activity.

A required field trip is offered which introduces students to the mountain environment and opens the door for future satisfying recreational experiences in the outdoors.

Respect is to be given to external organizations and their personnel and students and to all members of the Physical Education/Education Department, including fellow students, staff, and faculty, regardless of race, age, gender, or religious background. Dishonesty in any form, including cheating and plagiarism, will not be tolerated and will result in disciplinary action. It is hoped that students will develop an inherent desire to learn and grow, not only here at CSI, but also throughout their professional careers, in the community, and in their own personal lives.

• Attendance Policy: College Catalog (page 33): The College recognizes that regular attendance is the student’s responsibility. The instructor may evaluate the lack of attendance in terms of the course requirements and take a reasonable course of action. A class missed due to required participation in a verified school activity will not be considered an absence. Students who miss class or are absent for any reason, are still responsible for completing all course requirements. (See attendance policy below)

Hours of Class: The course requires students to complete at least six hours (2 hours for each credit) of work each week. Grading Policy: Grades will be based upon the following assessment:

**NOTE: It is the student’s responsibility to keep all of his/her lesson plans and evaluation forms to submit into the EXIT SEMINAR PORFOLIO for the Exit Seminar Requirement. DO NOT LOSE THESE FORMS! Drop Policy: It is the student’s responsibility to drop this course. A student may drop a course or all courses prior to the end of late registration (first Friday of the semester) without a “W” being recorded on the student’s official transcript. A student initiated drop after the late registration period is considered a withdrawal, and results in the grade of “W”. (Students may drop courses online until the end of the late registration period. In order to withdraw from one or more courses following late registration, a completed registration form is required. Instructions on the form indicate when a signature of instructor and/or Financial Aid advisor is required. The completed form may be submitted to Admissions & Records or any off-campus center.) NOTE: Students may withdraw from courses until 75% of the course meetings have elapsed. Students must withdraw themselves if they decide not to complete the class. Students who stop attending yet do not drop/withdraw from the class will get a failing grade (or whatever grade they earned). After 75% of the term has elapsed (12th week of the semester for fall and spring full-semester classes) students cannot initiate a drop/withdrawal. Students will be issued a grade after this deadline. CSI email: Since email is the primary source of written communication with students, all registered CSI students get a college email account. Student e-mail addresses have the following format: <address>@eaglemail.csi.edu where <address> is a name selected by the student as a part of activating his/her account. Students activate their accounts and check their CSI e-mail online at http://eaglemail.csi.edu. Instructors and various offices send messages to these student accounts. Students must check their CSI e-mail accounts regularly to avoid missing important messages and deadlines. At the beginning of each semester free training sessions are offered to students who need help in using their accounts. On-line course evaluation statement: Students are strongly encouraged to complete evaluations at the end of the course. Evaluations are very important to assist the teaching staff to continually improve the course. Evaluations are available online at: http://evaluation.csi.edu. Evaluations open up two weeks prior to the end of the course. The last day to complete an evaluation is the last day of the course. During the time the evaluations are open, students can complete the course evaluations at their convenience from any computer with Internet access, including in the open lab in the Library and in the SUB. When students log in they should see the evaluations for the courses in which they are enrolled. Evaluations are anonymous. Filling out the evaluation should only take a few minutes.

Skills This online course will not teach you how to use the computer, use Blackboard, navigate the web, or manage your electronic files. However, instructions will be available on how to submit your assignments, post forums on Discussion Board, post Wiki pages, and post journal entries. In addition, tutoring services, IT helpdesk, and Blackboard support will be available to support you with the basic functions of this course. Finally, if you are having difficulty, email or set up an appointment with your instructor. You will need to possess (or be able to quickly acquire) the following minimum technology skills:

• Ability to navigate and browse the Internet • Ability to download/upload files • Ability to access and use your CSI email • Ability to navigate and use the capabilities of Blackboard (Bb) • Ability to create, edit, save, and open Microsoft Office or Open Office documents • Ability to open “.pdf” files in Adobe Reader • Ability to open video files (such as YouTube)

For those participants who fear they may not be able to navigate the technical skills of this course, please follow all available instructions, ask questions early, and use the CSI services. We are here to help you succeed! Time and Pace Expectations This class is not a self-study or self-paced course. You may access Blackboard at any time. But, this course had deadlines. Regular participation is mandatory. Participants must complete assignments, test, projects, and all other requirements by the posted deadlines. Failure to submit assignments on time will result in consequences of either removal of the course or a failing grade. With this in mind, you must have daily access to Blackboard. You will not be permitted to turn in work after deadlines. If you encounter a technical problem, please contact CSI technical support immediately. This course requires you to be more active in your learning process. In other words, you cannot be a passive learner who waits for information. Instead you must be pro-active in watching, reading, studying, writing, questioning, discussing, and understanding the material of this course. I will be your guide and assist you in your learning process. This course is not easier or less time-consuming than an on-campus equivalent. It is recommended that you set aside 3-4 hours per week for each credit hour. This course is the equivalent of 3 credit hours. Therefore, in this course you should expect to spend 9-12 hours each week in preparation and completion of course assignments. This equates to around 1.5 hours a day. Discussion Board (DB): DB’s are an important aspect to learning in that they allow you to challenge each other, think critically, question your own ideas, and learn something in the process. Every DB will come with a set of instruction on how to participate. Please read each Db carefully so you know what will be expected of you. You may ONLY participate in that DB during the allotted time frame. You cannot make up a DB. Participation in group discussions should contain proper grammar, complete sentences and posting should demonstrate thought and effort. Your grade on each discussion will be reflective of whether you met the rubric criteria. It is important to keep in mind that even though you are interacting on a social level, this is still college and there are a few rules. How you interact with your peers and your instructor on Discussion Board will reflect who you are. Always “put your best foot forward” and consider the way your words could be interpreted (or misinterpreted). Impress me with your ability to think critically, analyze varied situations, and effective communication.

Netiquette Text-based communication is especially prone to misinterpretation. It is important that participants consider this in their course communication. Communication should conform to academic standards of courtesy. Flaming, profanity, ad hominem (personal) attacks, etc. are unacceptable. Failure to adhere to these standards will result in a zero for the assignment and may result in an immediate failure in the course. Participants should be aware that the use of sarcasm is particularly prone to misinterpretation. With that in mind, do not use sarcasm. The use of emotion icons (emoticons - ,, etc.) is highly advised to help convey some of the important nonverbal elements of communication. Assignments/ Worksheets: Assignments and homework are designed to reinforce concepts discussed in our virtual class. They will be given throughout the semester. All assignments and worksheets can be found on Blackboard. Feedback from me on assignments will come in one of two forms: you will receive a grade from me and I will give you direct feedback about your grade, or I will give a grade and general feed back to the whole class. If you have questions about an assignment or exam, please email me and I would be happy to clarify. All assignments need to be submitted through Blackboard. I DO NOT accept assignments by email, unless prior arrangements have been made. In addition your assignments MUST be a Microsoft Office product (i.e. word, excel, PDF, RTF). If I cannot open your assignment it does not exist. You will not receive credit for it until I receive it in the correct format and the homework policy below will apply. It is YOUR responsibility to make sure I can open and read your work. All assignments are due by Tuesday at 11:59 PM of the following week unless otherwise specified. Late assignments are NOT accepted. If you are unable to participate or are late on assignments for any reason, I do expect that it is for a well-considered reason. You make your decisions and then live with the consequences. I however understand that life circumstances do sometimes get in the way of course demands. For example, I had a student in a previous semester who unexpectedly was hospitalized from complications of a prior surgery. Should similar circumstances hit you, you have options. Please contact me and we can discuss further arrangements. Examinations Your examinations will consist of T/F, multiple choice, and short answer. Questions on these examinations will require knowledge and synthesis of concepts studied in class. Material for the exams will come from your textbook chapters, discussion, assignments, and PowerPoint material. All Unit Exams are timed for 1:20 minutes and done online through your Blackboard assignments folder. Please pay attention to your due dates. Your Final Exam be taken at a testing center (determined during your introduction assignment into the course) and will be comprehensive with no assistance from notes, textbook, etc. Examination Policy Students must complete the unit exams within the time frame allotted. Students who do not shall be regarded as having failed that test. However, if such absence is caused from some unavoidable extreme extenuating circumstance (the burden of proof lies with the student), the instructor shall give a comparable test to the student at a later date. All communications regarding a missed exam should be done prior to the exam. In addition, if students go over the time allowed (i.e. 1:20 minutes for the exam) the consequences are as follows: 1 to 4 minutes over the exam time, the point reduction is at instructor’s discretion, at 5 minutes the student’s exam will be dropped one letter grade. I will drop the student’s grade by one letter for every five minutes after that. Unit exams are not force completion but can be saved and resumed later; but your time will begin at the minute you start your exam until it is completed. For example, a student has been taking the exam for 20 minutes and then their favorite TV show comes on. They save the exam and watch TV for 30 minutes. When the student logs back in to the test he/she will only have 30 minutes left to take the exam. Therefore, once you begin the exam you will have 1:20 minutes from that point to complete it even if you save it and resume it later.

Your final exam will be taken at a testing center (determined during your introduction assignment into the course) and will be comprehensive with no assistance from notes, textbook, etc. You will have a study guide posted prior to the exam opening date to assist you with studying. You will be required to communicate through email to your instructor if your proctor/testing center site changes throughout the course. You will be responsible for understanding your testing center rules, regulations, and available times and days. The exam will be open for four days and you will be required to make arrangements during that time to take the exam. There are NO MAKE-UP exams for your final. You miss the final exam; you will receive a zero for the exam. Make sure you understand all due dates. Student Support:

Policies and Procedures:

• Textbook: Students should purchase the textbook and supplies by the end of week one. • This course requires PHYE majors to submit a portfolio entry (Behavior Change Project). The

entry is required for both PHYE 155 and PHYE 230 Exit Seminar. It is the student’s responsibility to keep this portfolio entry. In the PHYE 230 Exit Seminar, students will revisit and polish all portfolio entries from other required courses as a requirement for the Physical Education Portfolio.

• As a measure of course and program student learning, students must complete the PHYE 155 Common Final Exam.

• The student must initiate the action to withdraw by the end of the first week (first Friday). After the first week, a grade other than W will be issued.

• Academic Integrity: Students are expected to be honest in all aspects of their work. Course work is evaluated on the assumption that the work presented is the student’s own. Therefore, the work submitted in this course must adhere to the College’s Student Code of Conduct (http://www.csi.edu/studentHandbook/index.asp) and the Education Department’s Code of Conduct (see above). Academic dishonesty violations will be reported to the Department Chairman and may result in failure of the assignment, failure in the class, and/or dismissal from the program.” Academic dishonesty can be defined as Cheating--the improper use of books, notes, other student’s test or quizzes, or other aids during an examination or quiz. Collaboration--submission of an assignment in which substantial portions are paraphrased as one’s own from, or identical to another student’s paper. Plagiarism--submission of an assignment in which substantial portions are paraphrased without documentation or are identical to published or unpublished material from another author

• Behavior: Class behavior is to be appropriate to a positive learning environment. This policy applies to all forms of classroom environments and communication, including e-mail, chat, and asynchronous discussion forums. Students are expected to conduct themselves in a professional manner in this course. Students should treat all class members with respect and be thoughtful in their own contributions to the class. Students will receive one warning concerning inappropriate behavior; if the behavior persists, the student will be dropped from the course and the matter will be referred to the Department Chairman and/or Student Services for college discipline. If there is a problem for you in the class, please let me know. Students must read and follow CSI’s Acceptable Use of Computing Resources Policy. See College Catalog, page 16, for other college behavioral policies.

• Attendance Policy: College Catalog (page 33): The college recognizes that regular attendance is the student’s responsibility. The instructor may evaluate the lack of attendance in terms of the course requirements and take a reasonable course of action. A class missed due to required participation in a verified school activity will not be considered an absence. Students who miss class or are absent for any reason, are still responsible for completing all course requirements. (See attendance policy below).

Grading Policy: Grades will be based upon the following assessment: Four Unit exams 400 points Addiction Assignment 90 points Assignments (subject to change) 375 points Learn Smart Assignments 375 points Nutrition Assignment 50 points Behavior Change 150 points Final Exam 150 points Approximate Total 1715 Points Grading Code:

Students will journal five days a week for a total of four weeks on the experiences related to their chosen behavior. The student will be required to submit this journal along with a summary of their experiences. Nutrition Assessment Project: Students will be required to assess and keep track of their diet through www.sparkpeople.com for two weeks. Students will include this assessment along with a one-page paper summarizing their diet. Addiction Assignment: Students will explore an addiction and reflect on the process of quitting it for a short time, and the results of giving it up as they look to improve their health.

Physical Education Department Code of Conduct:

In accordance with the mission statement and goals of CSI, as well as those within the Education Department, students are expected to abide by a code of conduct to ensure the establishment of an educational, cooperative, and safe environment conducive to learning and growth. Students are expected to conduct themselves in a professional manner, both in dress and in character, during all Education courses (including online), internships and/or field experience opportunities. Respect is to be given to external organizations and their personnel and students and to all members of the Education Department, including fellow students, staff, and faculty, regardless of race, age, gender, or religious background. Dishonesty in any form, including cheating and plagiarism, will not be tolerated and will result in disciplinary action. It is hoped that students will develop an inherent desire to learn and grow, not only here at CSI, but also throughout their professional careers, in the community, and in their own personal lives. Drop Policy: It is the student’s responsibility to drop this course. A student may drop a course or all courses prior to the end of late registration (first Friday of the semester) without a “W” being recorded on the student’s official transcript. A student initiated drop after the late registration period is considered a withdrawal, and results in the grade of “W”. (Students may drop courses online until the end of the late registration period. In order to withdraw from one or more courses following late registration, a completed registration form is required. Instructions on the form indicate when a signature of instructor and/or Financial Aid advisor is required. The completed form may be submitted to Admissions & Records or any off-campus center.) NOTE: Students may withdraw from courses until 75% of the course meetings have elapsed. Students must withdraw themselves if they decide not to complete the class. Students who stop attending yet do not drop/withdraw from the class will get a failing grade (or whatever grade they earned). After 75% of the term has elapsed (12th week of the semester for fall and spring full-semester classes) students cannot initiate a drop/withdrawal. Students will be issued a grade after this deadline. CSI email: Since email is the primary source of written communication with students, all registered CSI students get a college email account. Student e-mail addresses have the following format: <address>@eaglemail.csi.edu where <address> is a name selected by the student as a part of activating his/her account. Students activate their accounts and check their CSI e-mail online at http://eaglemail.csi.edu. Instructors and various offices send messages to these student accounts. Students must check their CSI e-mail accounts regularly to avoid missing important messages and deadlines. At the beginning of each semester free training sessions are offered to students who need help in using their accounts. On-line course evaluation statement: Students are strongly encouraged to complete evaluations at the end of the course. Evaluations are very important to assist the teaching staff to continually improve the course. Evaluations are available online at: http://evaluation.csi.edu. Evaluations open up two weeks prior to the end of the course. The last day to complete an evaluation is the last day of the course. During the time the evaluations are open, students can complete the course evaluations at their convenience from any computer with Internet access, including in the open lab in the Library and in the SUB. When students log in they should see the evaluations for the courses in which they are enrolled. Evaluations are anonymous. Filling out the evaluation should only take a few minutes. Your honest feedback is greatly appreciated! Disabilities:

Any student with a documented disability may be eligible for reasonable accommodations. To determine eligibility and secure services, students should contact Student Disability Services at their first opportunity after registration for a class(es). Student Disability Services is located on the second floor of the Taylor Building on the Twin Falls Campus. 208.732.6260 or e-mail Marita DeBoard, mdeboard@csi.edu.

On-line Course Evaluation Statement: To help instructors continually improve courses, students are strongly encouraged to go online to http://evaluation.csi.edu and complete anonymous evaluations which open two weeks before the end of the course and close the last day of class. When students enter the site, they find evaluations for their enrolled courses. Thank you for this valuable input!

CSI Campus Security: The College of Southern Idaho is committed to providing safe campuses for all students. Currently in place is

an Emergency Notification System (RAVE) that provides information relating to an emergency on any CSI campus. This information is delivered electronically and can be received by all phone numbers and internet-equipped computers identified by the student. Registration is automatic when students register and contact information can be customized online (http://www.csi.edu/alert/) as necessary. The Twin Falls campus is also equipped with an Emergency Warning “Siren” that can be heard outside of buildings across campus. In the event of a signal, students arriving on campus should leave, and others should proceed with caution to avoid the emergency area. Students are encouraged to report any emergency (medical, criminal, behavioral, etc.) that is cause for action. Do this by calling 911 regardless of which campus you are on. If you are on the Twin Falls campus, please call Campus Security at 732-6605 after placing the 911 call (the Twin Falls campus has security personnel available 24/7). Topical Course Outline:

Policies and Procedures:

• Behavior: Behavior is to be appropriate to a positive learning environment. You are expected to conduct yourself in a professional manner in this course. You should treat all class members with respect and be thoughtful in your own contributions to the class. You will receive one warning concerning inappropriate behavior; if the behavior persists, you will be dropped from the course and the matter will be referred to student services for college discipline.

• All assignments are due on the date assigned. Unless prior arrangements are made, late work (assignments, tests/quizzes, projects) is not accepted.

• Attendance: A class missed due to required participation in a verified school activity will not be considered an absence. Students who miss class or are absent for any reason, are still responsible for completing all course requirements. When the number of class hours absent exceeds the number of course credits, the instructor has the authority to send a notice to the student as a warning and/or refer the student to his/her advisor. When the number of class hours absent exceeds twice the number of course credits, the instructor has the authority to fail the student in the course (College Catalog, page 35).

• Drop Policy: The student is responsible to drop the course. A student may drop a course or all courses prior to the end of late registration (first Friday of the semester) without a “W” being recorded on the student’s official transcript. A student initiated drop after the late registration period is considered a withdrawal, and results in the grade of “W”. (Students may drop courses online until the end of the late registration period. In order to

withdraw from one or more courses following late registration, a completed registration form is required. Instructions on the form indicate when a signature of instructor and/or Financial Aid advisor is required. The completed form may be submitted to Admissions & Records or any off-campus center.) NOTE: Students may withdraw from courses until 75% of the course meetings have elapsed. Students must withdraw themselves if they decide not to complete the class. Students who stop attending yet do not drop/withdraw from the class will get a failing grade (or whatever grade they earned). After 75% of the term has elapsed (12th week of the semester for fall and spring full-semester classes) students cannot initiate a drop/withdrawal. Students will be issued a grade after this deadline.

• Participation: Students learn best when they are actively involved in class activities and discussions. Attendance is mandatory for the student to be successful in this course. Excused absences must be made up and arrangements made with the course instructor.

• Honesty: Students are expected to be honest in all aspects of their work. All work is evaluated on the assumption that the work presented is the student’s own. Students are subject to the grade of failure (F) for any of the following dishonesty practices. Cheating--the improper use of books, notes, other student’s test or quizzes, or other aids during an examination or quiz. Collaboration--submission of a paper in which substantial portions are paraphrased as one’s own from, or identical to another student’s paper. Plagiarism--submission of a paper in which substantial portions are paraphrased without documentation or are identical to published or unpublished material from another author.
