- Complete ALL practice problems when assigned (and complete them multiple times for extra practice).
- Begin “studying” at least 1 week before each exam and complete study guides
- Work together - form study/review groups
- Seek assistance during office hours
- Attend ALL classes and ALL labs
Additional course supplies:
- Classroom/Lab Atmospere: Because texting and cell phones have become such an annoyance in college classrooms, the Kinesiology Department has discussed the following policy for our classes: “Out of respect for your fellow students, your professor and the educational process, cell phones, MP3 players and other electronic devices must be turned off and put away before class begins. Please clear any necessary exceptions, such as a potential emergency situation, with the professor before class. Also, while drinking water is acceptable, eating is inappropriate and a distraction to others. Please eat your meals before and after class.” Failure to comply with the above policy could result in point deductions on the next exam. Laptop computers will be allowed for class use only – using them for non-class use during class will result in loss of this privilege.
