WVSU STUDENT RIGHTS POLICY

http://www.wvstateu.edu/wvsu/media/About/p23.pdf

WVSU TITLE IX POLICY

“WVSU’s Sexual Harassment policy designates faculty as “mandatory reporters” of any disclosure of sexual harassment/abuse, stalking, and/or domestic violence related experiences or incidents shared with the faculty member in person, via email, and/or in classroom papers or homework exercises. These disclosures by the student to the faculty member requires that the faculty member inform appropriate WVSU channels to help ensure that the student’s safety and welfare is being addressed, even if the student requests that the disclosure not be shared. Additional information can be found in the WVSU Sexual Harassment policy (http://www.wvstateu.edu/Current-Students/Title-IX-Compliance.aspx).”

Class Organization:

Class is based on total points, so as you increase your points, your grade will hopefully go from “F” to “A”. You will have an “F” in midterm until your total points increase. I keep the mystate up to date, so, if you see an “F”, you have an “F”
This is a 4 week class. Everything must be posted by Friday July 14, 2017 at 6PM.
You have multiple times to take every quiz/exam. 3 quizzes take the average grade of your attempts. The rest I take the highest grade.
You must log in once weekly – there is a daily weekly assignment of the day. See the date it is due. You can work ahead and finish early.
There are 470 total points on a 420 point scale, meaning an 80% in all assignments will equal an A. There is no bonus work
All lessons materials are located under the lessons tab.
I post power points, PDF Manuals, and word documents. I can email the materials to you.

Introduction to Sport Law, Spengler, Anderson, Connaughton, and Baker
The NCAA and NAIA Materials are PDF located under the lessons tab.

Course Description:

Ethical theories along with negligence law, contract law and constitutional law as they apply to sport and sport governance will be discussed.

Prerequisites:

Must be a WVSU Sports Studies or have greater than 60 credit hours.

Course Outcomes:

WHAT IS AN OUTCOME?

An outcome is what a student, MUST achieve in this course in order to be considered competent enough to advance to higher level Sports Studies courses and ultimately graduate from West Virginia State University.

At the completion of this course the student will: (NASPE standards are listed in bold).

1. The student will identify the differences between theories of justice and the concepts of rights and the psychosocial bases for moral reasoning. (NASPE Standard for Sports Coaches Standard 2, 3 and 4)

2. The student will utilize legal terminology used in sport case law and federal legislation through critical sport law case analysis both orally and written. (NASPE Standard for Sports Coaches Standard 2,3 and 36

3. Compare and contrast sport cases involving negligence, labor law and contract law.(NASPE Standard for Sports Coaches Standard 2,3 and 36)

4. Ethically and legally analyze the professional responsibilities of the athlete, coach and sports administrator. (NASPE Standard for Sports Coaches Standard 1,2,3,4 and 36)

Late Materials:

Materials are due per the syllabus date. Materials turned in late will result in ZERO points.

HOW DO YOU ACHIEVE THESE OUTCOMES

You can achieve these outcomes in many ways! First of all, you must participate in class assignments, discussions, projects, and in-class learning activities. You will not be evaluated on participating; however, it MUST be understood that completion and understanding of these outcomes is not attainable without your participation. Participation is defined as frequent (at least twice per week) contact with your instructor. You will perform assessments that will assess your ability in the major outcomes for this course. The major outcomes of this course were designed with the NASPE-National Standards for Coaching Education as its foundation.

HOW DO YOU DEMONSTRATE YOU ARE COMPETENT IN THE DESIRED OUTCOMES?

All through the course and on each MAJOR ASSESSMENT (assessment of individual outcomes), you will be assigned a level of competency (70%) that the Department of Health and Human Performance believes reflects how well you should achieve on the given assessment. Your final grade will be based upon how well you have achieved on each individual assessment in the course. Your MAJOR assessments in this course will contain structured questions and critical thinking scenarios that will reflect ALL major outcomes being evaluated. This will give you the chance to show/demonstrate a better understanding of the competencies over time.

The MAJOR ASSESSMENTS will contain questions or be assignments designed to enable your instructor to evaluate your performance and understanding of the competencies with this course. You may be given assignments and/or learning activities in this course that will be assessed but not be considered a MAJOR ASSESSMENT. The instructor will use these as “benchmark assessments”. You will be given a certain standard to meet on these assessments and the data recorded will demonstrate that you are or (are not) competent in understanding of the competencies at hand and are ready (or not) to progress to a higher competency level. You are within a field of study that requires you to do more than merely memorize/know material and concepts. You MUST be able to apply this knowledge and these concepts to the “real world” and make critical decisions. You as the student should want to perform at your best ability on all assignments to become the best Sports Studies professional you can be.

Specific NASPE (National Standards For Coaching Education) this course will address:

Domain I: Philosophy and Ethics

Standard 1: Develop and implement an athlete-centered coaching philosophy

Standard 2: Identify, model, and teach positive values learned through sport participation.

can a public institution limit this?

how many more incidents will now be covered up?

hope they never play Oklahoma or the other 99 big time schools welcoming those people to campus...

Should we limit someones ability to improve their life after they have been adjudicated by the criminal justice system?
