All components outlined will be assigned a letter grade. The contribution of each
component to the final letter grade is indicated by the percentage above. At the end of
the course, a final letter grade will be calculated using grade points and will be given
on the following approximate basis (please note that the class distribution of marks
will be examined and natural groupings will determine the final letter grade
assignment):

                                          A range = upper 80’s & 90’s
                                          B range = 70’s & 80’s
                                          C range = 60’s
                                          D range = 50’s
                                          F = less than 50

Note: Students are expected to carefully analyze course requirements and project due
      dates and plan/work/study accordingly. Time and project management skills
      are considered important in this field and overdue assignments will be
      penalized 1⁄7 of their overall grade value on the assignment for each day late.

The Department of Kinesiology and Applied Health acknowledges the importance of
timely evaluation and feedback. Students will be expected to be available for all tests
and exams that are scheduled within the normal class or exam periods. Should a
student be unavailable to write a test, exam, or submit a paper due to circumstances
other than illness (verified by a physician’s note) or death in the family (verified by
obituary or other suitable documentation) the student will receive zero for that exam,
test, or item of work.
The Department has a policy of maintaining a class grade point range, depending
upon the year of the course. This ensures that grades are awarded consistent with
other departments. Students may make an appointment to discuss their relative
standing at any time during the course.

Note: Final date for withdrawal from the course without academic penalty is Friday,
      November 3, 2006. Please refer to the University Calendar for information
      regarding Appeals, Course Grading and Academic Misconduct.

Written Papers

Note: All written reports and papers must follow American Psychological
      Association (APA) style. They should be typed using a serif font (Times New
      Roman) double-spaced on one side of 8½ x 11 in. 20lb. white bond paper.
      They should be constructed in IMRAD (Introduction, Method, Results And
      Discussion) format and be concise. (Add specifics for each item if work eg.
      <xxxx words).

Disability Resource Centre

The University of Winnipeg Disability Resources Centre assists students with a
disability who may require alternative formats, adaptations or modifications to
promote and facilitate an accessible learning environment. The Centre assists in
learning, communicating, or completing tests/exams. If a student has adequate
documentation of a diagnosed disability, that inhibits performance, the Centre may
provide academic or physical accommodations, such as private space and extended
time for exams, oral exams, supervised breaks, equipment loans, registration
assistance, classroom adaptations, alternate formats, note takers, interpreters, and
special seating to promote better performance. Contact the Disability Resources
Centre at 786-9178 to make an appointment. All information about disability is
confidential.
