health. Students will experiment with a variety of physical activities and explore the effects of their current lifestyle habits. As well,
students will evaluate their personal motivation strategies to maintain or increase physical activity. Learning will be active and will

ASSIGNMENTS AND ASSESSMENTS

Assignments are to be submitted as a pdf file on Lea and are due at 11:59pm on the due date. An explanation will be given in class
regarding assignment criteria, expectations, and the breakdown of the mark. If you have questions, please ask in the time allotted at
the end of each class for individual questions or concerns. Assignments will be submitted either in class or online via Omnivox/Lea
and will be corrected as quickly as possible. Late assignments will result in a daily late penalty of 10% for up to one week. No
assignments will be accepted more than one week beyond the due date. If more feedback is required, please contact the teacher.

It is the student's responsibility to check due dates and verify that the proper document has been submitted for each assignment.
Please make sure you have a backup electronic copy of your assignments. Students may discuss the possibility of re-submission with
teacher If circumstances permit.

This course is designed to help you examine and analyze your personal lifestyle habits and provide you with an opportunity to reflect
on the impact of these choices (both positive and negative). Assignments for this course are based on the material in our course
manual and are often personal or reflective in nature. AI tools are unable to produce an authentic reflection on your individual
circumstances, behaviours and choices. Therefore, the use of any generative artificial intelligence tools or apps for any of the
assessments (including ChatGPT and other writing or coding assistants) are prohibited. This course policy is designed your learning
and growth. Assignments which do not conform to these stated rules and guidelines will not be graded.

Assessment Descriptions Grade Weight

Weekly Physical Activity Engagement: Students will take part in a weekly self- 40%*
evaluation of engagement in the following areas: attendance, participation, effort,
safety-guidelines, observing etiquette and overall contributions to group
discussions and learning environment

Fitness and Lifestyle Activities: There will be classes where students will be
required to complete an in-class activity and record their results in detail. 10%
Students will then use these experiences to reflect on their current health, and
suggest intended lifestyle changes

Wellness Appraisals: Readings, reviews, and reflection worksheets that are

directly related to the theory presented in class and in the manual. The Wellness
40%
Appraisal is comprised of documents about your own personal health and the

Health and Wellness Summary: This short summary will allow students to self-
reflect on their current state of health and wellness using the theoretical and 10%
physical concepts that have been covered in class.
*Please note that this course includes threshold grading. Students must receive a minimum of 60% in
Threshold #1 and 60% in the overall course to pass the class. Receiving less than 60% in this threshold
will result in a maximum final grade of 55%.

ATTENDANCE AND STUDENT ENGAGEMENT

Due to the nature of Physical Education courses and the physicality of the discipline, students need to be in class on time and for the
entire duration of the course to achieve the learning outcomes. As such, attendance and active participation for all classes is
integral. Students are responsible for all material covered in any missed classes including theoretical components, homework, in
class activities, and evaluations.

When a Physical Education teacher is informed by the Registrar’s Office and/or the Student Access Centre (SAC) about a student’s
college-approved absence, the teacher is required to make reasonable assessment accommodations that align with the course
learning outcomes. The student must contact the teacher by MIO before the absence (unless there is an emergency situation) to
determine the plan to make up the missed assessment.

College-approved absences include:

· Authorized college activities
· Religious observances
· Personal or family emergencies
· Legal obligations
· Significant physical and mental health conditions

No assessment accommodations are required for absences that are not college-approved (Student doesn’t feel well, slept in, missed
the bus etc.). A student will receive a 0 for any grades assessed on that day. Missed assessments will not be made up.

In accordance with the latest version of the IPESL, attendance will not be used as a means to grade student performance; however,
grades can be assigned to learning activities that connect to the achievement of the course learning outcomes and require student
presence to complete. Recording student attendance will be required for matters of safety and health (see IPESL pg. 9). Out of a
strong commitment of the health and safety of all students, excessive absence will result in the physical education teacher reporting
to the registrar’s office.

ENGLISH LANGUAGE STANDARDS, PLAGIARISM AND STANDARDS

Plagiarism and cheating are serious forms of academic dishonesty which undermine learning and erode trust within the academic
community. A student will receive zero on any paper or test in which plagiarism or cheating occurred. The teacher will report the
case to the Registrar’s Office and note will be placed in their file. This note remains in the file throughout their college education.
Any further occurrence will result in further disciplinary action and may result in expulsion

10% of the grade will be set aside for aspects of English proficiency (e.g., grammar, style, vocabulary) for each paper, report and/or
assignment. If you wish to acquire assistance with your writing skills, resources are available through the Learning Center (B-301)
located on the second floor of the library.

COMMUNICATING WITH TEACHER

Should a student have a question, comment, or concern they are encouraged to contact the teacher to set up a meeting. The ideal
way to communicate with the teacher is to send a MIO. When sending a message please be sure to include the course name, section
and day & time of class in the message.

DRESS CODE AND LOCKERS

 Students need to wear appropriate, comfortable clothing to class including proper running shoes or sneakers
 Changing rooms are located downstairs by the gymnasium.
 You may keep your backpack with you in class if you need to, but your coat and boots must stay in the changeroom or
private locker or change room.
