Attendance, Class Meeting Times and Clothing:
Attendance will be required during drop/add for all enrolled students. For the entire
semester you will be allowed three (3) free absences without penalty. For each absence
over three, 10% per absence will be deducted from my evaluation of the practical aspect of
your performance (see Grading). If you accumulate more than (5) absences, you will receive
no credit for this course, and a U, F, WF, or W will be awarded as circumstances dictate.
There are NO excused absences. Unexcused absences include trips, doctor
appointments, interviews, conferences, illness, injury, official school business, jury duty, as
well as simply not showing up. You will be permitted one (1) official make-up day
during the semester to make up any absences for reasons listed above. A variety of out of
class make-up opportunities will be announced and posted on your Canvas site but only
make-ups posted by me will be allowed for credit. If you are unsure, confirm it with me.
Make-up days must be approved by me via e-mail. You are responsible for managing your
absences. If you are more than 10 minutes late or leave more than 10 minutes early, you
will be marked Tardy for the day. Two Tardies = One Absence.

Classes will begin promptly at 5 minutes after the scheduled starting time (9:05am) and will
be dismissed 10 minutes prior to its scheduled conclusion (9:50am). You are responsible for
monitoring the Canvas course site for changes in class location, announcements, quiz and
homework deadlines, due dates, etc. Students are responsible for finding out about location
changes if they are absent from class. I couldnt find the class is NOT an excused
absence.

Recommended clothing is anything that is appropriate, comfortable and easy to move in.
Appropriate cycling shoes are mandatory (running shoes ok). No jeans or OPEN-TOED shoes.

Grading:
60% of your final grade will be determined by your participation in and commitment
to your training program. This is the practical (activity) component of your overall
grade and includes attendance and my subjective evaluation of your work ethic and
focus.
30% of your final grade will come from your score on each of the two quizzes (15%
each).
10% of your final grade will be calculated from the successful & timely completion of
labs/homework assignments.

Accommodations for disabilities

In compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), The Department of Health and
Physical Education is committed to providing reasonable accommodations to students with
disabilities. Students in need of accommodations must present authorized medical
documentation to the Office of Disability services (ODS), 110 Admin Bldg. Once registered
with ODS, it is the students responsibility to make an appointment with the instructor at the
beginning of the semester to receive accommodations. Illnesses or injuries that occur
during the semester may warrant medical withdrawal.

Honor code:
All students are subject to the Emory University Honor Code during Physical Education
classes, specifically ARTICLE 4: ACADEMIC MISCONDUCT. This document may be
reviewed at http://www.college.emory.edu/current/standards/honor_code.html
Student Health And Counseling Services Resources
Emory cares about your health and wellness. Emory Student Health and Counseling
Services (EUSHCS) offer a variety of preventive, outpatient primary care, and mental health
services. They can assist you with concerns that might otherwise impair your academic
performance, including sleep, stress, nutrition, illness, relationships, anxiety, depression,
alcohol and other substance use, and many other matters. You can learn more by visiting

Emory Card I.D.

All entrants into the WPEC and SAAC must have a valid EmoryCard to enter
students, staff, and faculty. The 1st time occurrence of not having a card, the
Entrance Attendants will look you up in the system, verify your identity and access,
and have you fill out a card kept on file at the desk. The 2nd and each subsequent
time, there is a $10 fee to gain access to the facility, payable by cash or check at
the Membership Office or Equipment Room. You can also go back to your room to
get your card and you will be marked tardy or absent (depending on the time) for
the day. Each person gets 1 free entry per semester. The instructor, staff, or other
students cannot vouch for you. Please make sure you always have your
EmoryCard with you for each class to avoid unexcused absences and fines.

Lockers
Daily-use lockers are available on the first floor and may be checked out with your
EmoryCard at the equipment room for no charge. You may also use open lockers in the
entrance area to each locker room or on the fourth floor for no charge, but locks must be
removed daily, if you choose to bring your own lock. Finally, combination lockers located
inside the first floor locker rooms may be purchased from the membership office for $25.00
per semester (spring or fall), $50.00 for two semesters, or $60.00 for the year (spring,
