University Studies Writing Rag:
This class satisfies the University Studies requirements for a
writing flag. The purpose of the writing flag is to reinforce the
outcomes specified for the basic skills area of writing. Therefore, this
course is intended to provide contexts, opportunities, and feedback for
students writing with discipline-specific texts, tools, and strategies.
This course includes requirements and learning activities that
promote students' abilities to:
a. Promotes the students' ability to practice the processes 3and
procedures for creating and completing successful writing in their
fields.
b. Promote the students' ability to understand the main features and
uses of writing in their fields.
c. Promote the students' ability to adapt their writing to the
general expectations of readers in their fields.
d. Promote the students' ability to make use of the technologies
commonly used for research and writing in their fields
e. Promote the students' ability to learn the conventions of
evidence, format, usage, and documentation in their field.
These requirements are met primarily through your term project and
are specifically identified on the syllabus with the appropriate letter
reference where the specific objectives are met.

athlete's physical and psychological health and athletic performance (alcohol,
tobacco, stimulants, steroids, narcotics, etc.)
26. VIC2O - Basic principles of learning and motivation and methods of
classroom instruction including instructional techniques, use of audiovisual
aids, test construction, and evaluation of student competencies (including tasks
within the six d6mains of the NATA Role Delineation Study).
Attendance policy :
Class attendance is required, unexcused absences will result in a 2
point deduction/absence.
Academic misconduct:
Anyone caught cheating, collaborating with others (when
· not instructed to do so), plagiarizing
work, presenting work previously presented to another class, or any other
inappropriate conduct will be charged with academic misconduct and could
receive and F in the course and/or be expelled from the University.
Prerequisites
Students taking this class are expected to have passed
Exercise Physiology (HHP 340), Pathophysiology (NURS
366) and therefore also Anatomy and Physiology (Rio 211
and 212).
Grading policy.
You will complete three written examinations on the dates listed. No
makeup examinations will be given! Each examination will be worth 100
points. The format of examinations will be multiple-choice, true/false

Rationale for HHP 445 as a University Studies Writing Flag
This course requires a writing intensive term project where
students complete an in-depth review of a sports medicine topic of their choice.
This project is accomplished in several steps. First, students are shown how to
locate scientific research articles using the Internet and content specific
indexes. Based on their interest and the preliminary information they find,
students are required to hand in a topic statement and list of questions that
they plan to address in their term paper. These assignments are evaluated for
content and scope and returned to the students. Next, students refine their
topic statement and list of questions and proceed to develop an outline that
will serve as the framework for their final paper. After the revised topic
statement and outline are evaluated, the student completes a draft that will be
blindly evaluated by a fellow student. The student then completes their final
draft of the paper with appropriate scientific format and APA referencing style.
This writing project accounts for approximately 22% of their final grade in the
class.
The Writing Flag Criteria are met as follows:
a. Promotes the Students' ability to practice the processes and procedures
for creating and completing successful writing in their fields. Sports
Medicine professionals are required to stay current in the many discipline
areas. This requires an ability to find current research, synthesize and
integrate the information, and often present a report in written format to
other professionals The work the students do in this class helps them develop
the skills to become more proficient at this entire process.
b. Promote the students' ability to understand the main features and uses
of writing in their fields. Students gain an understanding of appropriate
writing from reading and reviewing the scientific articles they locate and
from the specific assignment instructions. Students then have the opportunity
to apply their understanding of appropriate writing by completing their paper.
c. Promote the students' ability to adapt their writing to the general
expectations of readers in their fields. Making use of original scientific
research to prepare a report with appropriate documentation and referencing is
the common format expected by exercise scientists. Therefore this class
project requires them to learn and become more proficient at this process.
d. Promote the students' ability to make use of the technologies commonly
used for research and writing in t heir fields During the process of
completing this class, students are introduced to the Internet and computer
databases for locating scientific research articles. Students also 'take use
of word processing software, PowerPoint, and potentially graphic software.
e. Promote the students' ability to learn the conventions of evidence,
format, usage, and documentation in their field. The students' final draft
of their review paper requires them to support their: statements with data
from peer reviewed scientific journals. The paper is also required t6 be
completed with appropriate APA format and referencing.
