SEXUAL HARASSMENT POLICY
WVSU
STUDENT RIGHTS POLICY
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

PDF Manuals, and word documents. I can email the materials to you.

Late Materials:

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.
