Course Text (Recommended): Nieman, D. C. (2010). Fitness & Your Health. 5th ed. Dubuque, IA: Kendall
Hunt
Course Description: Students in KIN 101 will learn to utilize current concepts of physical fitness to
increase the quantity and quality of their own lives as well as the lives of others.
Course objectives and outcomes: At the completion of the course each student will be able to:
1. Discuss fundamental scientific concepts of:
a. Physical fitness
b. Nutrition and body composition
c. Stress
d. The importance of physical activity
2. Explain the contributions of physical exercise to the prevention/attenuation of
certain life threatening diseases.
3. Discuss the relationship of physical exercise and activity to the aging process.
4. Discuss the theory that physical fitness has significance to society through its impact on
decreasing health care costs.
5. Design a safe, personalized exercise program based upon:
a. Practical techniques for evaluating physical fitness
b. Personal physical fitness/exercise needs and goals
c. Sound physical exercise techniques
d. Your medical profile
Course exams: There will be 2 midterm exams and a comprehensive final exam. Exams will be multiple
choice/true-false format on scantrons. Please bring a No. 2 pencil.
SYLLABUS
Exam questions will be based on material covered in lecture, as well as material from the course
textbook. Material from lecture includes any information from the power point lecture slides, additional
information given verbally, and any handouts distributed during class. While they serve as an excellent
supplement and study tool, the book chapters alone are not sufficient for successful exam performance.
In other words, take good notes or copy them from someone who does. Bring something to write
with/on. Study guides for each exam will be distributed.
Assignments and quizzes: The instructor may give quizzes designed to test your knowledge of the book
chapters prior to a specific lecture. The instructor may also give extra assignments.
Missed exam/late assignment policy: A late assignment will result in a deduction in points equal to half
of the total score unless prior arrangements are made with the instructor. If you miss an exam and do
not contact the instructor in a timely manner (24-36 hours after) with a valid excuse, it will result in a 0
for the exam grade. If you know you will miss an exam or assignment, let the instructor know, that way
you might be able to work out alternate arrangements.
Attendance: Class attendance for all class sessions is mandatory. In order to attain full points for
attendance you must be in the door by the time attendance is being called. Please be as unobtrusive as
possible if you need to arrive late. The same is true if you have to leave class early for any reason (early
departure needs to be approved by the instructor or it may result in an unexcused absence). Seats at the
back of class may be reserved for potentially tardy students. NOTE: If you come in late, it is your
responsibility to inform the instructor that you were in attendance that day.
University policy accommodating religious students: SIUC 2016-17 Undergraduate Catalog (p. 539)
Contacting the instructor: The instructor’s email address and phone number are located at the
beginning of the syllabus. The instructor can also be reached calling the university information number
(453-2121) or the Kinesiology Department (536-2431). When you contact the instructor via email
regarding a new topic, you must use proper grammar, punctuation, and capitalization. You must also
use a proper salutation and type your name at the end of the email. Once an email conversation thread
is started, further emails in the thread do not require a salutation.
Grade breakdown: NOTE: All exams, assignments, etc. in this course will be given a grade between 0-
100. These grades (or grade averages) are then multiplied by the appropriate percentages below. The
multiplication results are then summed to give you your final course grade. See the example below.
Example:
Attendance: 30%
Fitness Testing Summary: 5%
Fitness Tracking Assignment: 15%
Quizzes and Extra Assignments: 5%
Midterm Exam I: 15%
Midterm Exam II: 15%
Comprehensive Final Exam: 15%
SYLLABUS
TOTAL: 100%
Grade Evaluation:
A-90-100%
B-80-89.9%
C-70-79.9%
D-60-69.9%
F- < 59.9
KIN 101 Grade Calculator:
The KIN 101 Grade Calculator is a Microsoft Excel file that it based on the Excel file that the instructor
will use to calculate your final KIN 101 grade. As you receive your grades, enter them into the
appropriate column in the Grade Calculator and save it. Remember that early in the term you will have
many grades that will have not been earned yet and as a result, the grade that is calculated will be very
low. In this situation, you can speculate on grades that you have not earned yet and enter them to give
you a more reasonable picture of your overall grade. Toward the end of the course, the Grade Calculator
will allow you to answer the questions: “What do I need to get on the Final Exam to get a B in the
class?”, “What is the lowest grade I can get on the Final Exam and still get an A in the class?”, etc.
Academic Dishonesty: The penalty for academic dishonesty (cheating, allowing another student to
cheat off of you, and/or plagiarism) on any assignment or examination will result in an automatic score
of zero for that assignment/exam and depending on the circumstances may result in a failing grade for
the course.
Appropriate dress: All students should come to each “fitness testing” session and “fitness day” in
comfortable workout clothing. Guidelines are as follows:
1) Shorts, t-shirts, tank-tops, sweats are all acceptable (NO JEANS, DRESSES, 3-PIECE
SUITS, ETC.)
2) Comfortable athletic shoes (NO SANDALS, HEELED SHOES, or BOOTS; PLEASE TIE
SHOELACES)
3) No dangling jewelry or sunglasses
4) No gum chewing
Cell phone and headphones: Cell phones are prohibited in the classroom. After walking in, cellphones
should be turned to silent, and headphones should be put away. Participation points will be deducted if
you have your cellphone out in class.
Syllabus contract/informed consent: Each student will be required to sign a form that indicates that
he/she understands and will abide by the course guidelines outlined in the syllabus. The student’s
SYLLABUS
signature is also certifies that they understand the inherent risk of any physical activity. This form will be
distributed during the first week of class.
Medical information form: Since this course has an activity component, each student will be required to
complete a medical information form. This form will allow the instructor to have official record of
medical issues that might be relevant to the activity component of the course. The instructor will take
every precaution to insure that this medical information remains confidential.
Instructor Responsibilities:
Present the material as clearly and completely as possible.
Provide a learning environment that can translate into practical applications.
Help students gain the maximum knowledge possible.
Student Responsibilities:
Treat your fellow students with respect.
Be straightforward and “upfront” in your dealings with the instructor.
Treat the instructor with respect and the instructor will do the same for you
(turn off cell phones, don’t talk when the instructor is talking, don’t be disruptive,
etc.)
Do not use the following statements: “I need to get a good grade in this class.” “Is
there any extra credit I can do?” “Will this be on the exam?”
If you come in for extra help, you need to be prepared properly. Do not expect the
instructor to re-lecture the information to you.
Learn and have fun.

WITHDRAWAL POLICY ~ Undergraduate only
Students who officially register for a session may not withdraw merely by the stopping of
attendance. An official withdrawal form needs to be initiated by the student and processed by the
University. For the proper procedures to follow
SYLLABUS
when dropping courses and when withdrawing from the University, please visit
http://registrar.siu.edu/students/withdraw.html
INCOMPLETE POLICY~ Undergraduate only
An INC is assigned when, for reasons beyond their control, students engaged in passing work are
unable to complete all class assignments. An INC must be changed to a completed grade within
one semester following the term in which
the course was taken, or graduation, whichever occurs first. Should the student fail to complete
the course within the time period designated, that is, by no later than the end of the semester
following the term in which the course was
taken, or graduation, whichever occurs first, the incomplete will be converted to a grade of F and
the grade will be computed in the student's grade point average. For more information please
visit:
http://registrar.siu.edu/grades/incomplete.html
REPEAT POLICY
An undergraduate student may, for the purpose of raising a grade, enroll in a course for credit no
more than two times (two total enrollments) unless otherwise noted in the course description. For
students receiving a letter grade
of A,B,C,D, or F, the course repetition must occur at Southern Illinois University Carbondale.
Only the most recent (last) grade will be calculated in the overall GPA and count toward hours
earned. See full policy at
http://registrar.siu.edu/students/repeatclasses.html
STUDENT CONDUCT CODE
Under no circumstance will this class be a place of close mindedness. No student shall be made
to feel uncomfortable based on their gender, class, sexuality, disability or any other
characteristic. This class may bring about discussions that make you feel ‘uncomfortable’, but
that discomfort will be based on ideas and opinions that you have, not about you as an
individual. This classroom will also not be a site of harassment, physical, sexual, or otherwise.
If you have an issue with any of the above, see the instructor. If you need further details, please
look up the following: http://www.siuc.edu/~policies/policies/conduct.html
DISABILITY POLICY
Disability Support Services provides the required academic and programmatic support services
to students with permanent and temporary disabilities. DSS provides centralized coordination
and referral services. To utilize DSS
SYLLABUS
services, students must come to the DSS to open cases. The process involves interviews, reviews
of student-supplied documentation, and completion of Disability Accommodation Agreements.

SAFETY AWARENESS FACTS AND EDUCATION
Title IX makes it clear that violence and harassment based on sex and gender is a Civil Rights
offense subject to the same kinds of accountability and the same kinds of support applied to
offenses against other protected categories such as race, national origin, etc. If you or someone
you know has been har-assed or assaulted, you can find the appropriate resources here:
