accommodation needs. Please plan to meet with me by appointment or during office hours to discuss approved accommodations and

Academic Integrity - www.twu.edu/student-life-office/academic-integrity.asp
Honesty in completing assignments is essential to the mission of the University and to the development of the personal integrity of
students. In submitting graded assignments, students affirm that they have neither given nor received unauthorized assistance, and that
they have abided by all other provisions of the Code of Conduct in the TWU Student Handbook. Cheating, plagiarism, fabrication or
other kinds of academic dishonesty will not be tolerated and will result in appropriate sanctions that may include failing an
assignment, failing the class, or being suspended or expelled. Suspected cases in this course may be reported to Student Life. The
specific disciplinary process for academic dishonesty is found in the TWU Student Handbook. The TWU library link, “Avoiding
Plagiarism,” will aid students in completing their assignments with integrity.
In an effort to ensure the integrity of the academic process, Texas Woman’s University vigorously affirms the importance of academic
honesty as defined by the Student Handbook. Therefore, in an effort to detect and prevent plagiarism, faculty members at Texas
Woman’s University may now use a tool called Turnitin to compare a student’s work with multiple sources. It then reports a
percentage of similarity and provides links to those specific sources. The tool itself does not determine whether or not a paper has
been plagiarized. Instead, that judgment must be made by the individual faculty member. Some of the required assignments in this
course may be checked for plagiarism using Turnitin.com.
Attendance Policy – www.twu.edu/student-life-office/attendance-policy.asp
Consistent and attentive attendance is vital to academic success, and is expected of all students. Grades are determined by academic
performance and instructors may give students written notice that attendance related to specific classroom activities is required and
will constitute a specific percentage of students’ grades. Absences due to documented student illness, serious illness or death in the
student's immediate family, pregnancy or related conditions, official school activity, state-recognized religious holiday, active military
service that is of a reasonable brief duration, or other verified absences deemed appropriate by student life will be considered on a case
by case basis. Students must consult with instructors regarding the completion of make-up work.
Absences DO NOT exempt students from academic requirements. Excessive absences, even if documented, will result in the student
receiving a failing grade for the course (more than 2 unexcused absences). An “Incomplete Grade” may be granted if the student
has a passing grade, but only if the instructor determines that it is feasible for the student to successfully complete remaining
assignments after the semester. Pursuant to university policy, such determinations are within the discretion of the instructor. ALL
EXCUSED ABSENCES MUST BE APPROVED THROUGH THE OFFICE OF STUDENT LIFE. Take documentation to the
office of Student Life (in the Student Center); the Student Life will notify the instructor if their guidelines are met for an excused
absence, but points will NOT be awarded for an excused absence.
Tardiness:
A student who is tardy can only earn ½ credit for a given class period (2 tardies = 1 absence). A student is considered tardy if she/he
arrives after 9:00 a.m. A student arriving late for class must personally check-in with the instructor. Students who arrive in class after
9:30 a.m. will be marked absent.
Deadlines
ALL assignments must be submitted as a hardcopy, TYPED by the start of the class. Assignments will be accepted until 5:00 pm on
FRIDAY with a 10% deduction. AFTER 5:00PM ON FRIDAY ALL ASSINGMENTS WILL RECEIVE A 0.
Students may only discuss grades up until two weeks past the due date; discussion should be done in person. Grades will be posted on
blackboard within 2 weeks of the assigned deadline for an assignment.
Make-up Policy
Students that are participating in school sponsored events (e.g., athletics, professional conferences, academics) need to turn in
assignments and quizzes AHEAD of time or by the due date. Make-up assignments will be determined case-by-case.
Professional Conduct
During this course you will be expected to deal with your subject area, your colleagues, and yourself as a professional. Attending
class, team meetings, and completing your tasks in a timely and well-prepared manner is part of professional conduct. In addition to
being respectful to your professor, colleagues, guest, teaching assistance, and other professionals. The textbook and the notes on

Blackboard should be used as references to help you prepare for the work done in class. Class sessions are not designed to paraphrase
the textbook for you. In order to understand the activities performed in class you will need to have read the material beforehand.
TURN OFF all cell phones during the class period.
TWU Kinesiology Dress Code (You are required to purchase the approved TWU shirt)
All undergraduate students are expected to dress in appropriate professional physical activity attire when representing the department.
TWU Kinesiology attire is required during departmental sponsored activities with the public including, but not limited to, student
teaching, practica, and internships. Kinesiology students are required to purchase a maroon Kinesiology shirt for assigned required
classes. Students have the option of wearing either khaki shorts/pants (i.e., shorts need to be 5” inseam to Bermuda in length) or black
athletic pants (i.e., not yoga-type pants) and a one piece bathing suit (no bikinis). If you have purchased another color of Kinesiology
shirt in the past (gray, black, white), you may wear this in lieu of the maroon shirt.
In addition, hats, caps, or head covers are not to be worn in any on or off departmental sponsored activities with the public (Note:
exceptions may be made for outdoor activity for wearing appropriate hats for sunscreen, or cultural customs; see instructor for
approval). For safety reasons, jewelry should be limited to stud earrings within the ears and be careful of necklaces, bracelets, and
watches. Exposed tattoos and/or body piercing other than within the ears are not allowed.
TWU Kinesiology attire can be purchased through the department. Students wearing inappropriate attire will NOT be able to
participate in the class activities, which may impact your grade. Any concerns or questions see the instructor.
