Course Syllabus

Course Description

This class is for the student who is completing required PE credit.  It is assumed that you will be actively engaged in class every day.

Classroom Management/Learning Materials

There is no textbook for this course.  You are expected to be actively participating in gym class.

Cadet Materials

The required materials for this course include:

PT gear 

Instructional Organization

Class will begin 5 min. after the tardy bell.  This gives you more than enough time to pass from your previous class, change your clothes and arrive on time.  At 5 min. after the tardy bell you will begin a dynamic stretch routine, which will be guided by your coach until you have learned it.  At that point, the cadet serving as class leader at the time will conduct the dynamic stretch routine.  After the warm-up routine cadets will engage in fitness activities.  You are expected to be fully engaged in these activities.  The balance of the class will be spent in skill acquisition and sport competition.  At 7 min. to the dismissal bell you will be free to leave class to prepare for your next class.

I do not assign homework.

You are graded on four categories in this course. They are:

• Dressing in proper PT gear
• Fully participating
• Quizzes
• Skill execution during a performance assessment  

Absences and Make-Up Policy

When you are absent you must make up your absence by completing a workout outside of class.  This workout must  be logged and signed by a legal guardian and then submitted to me for points to be awarded for that absence.

Rules and Consequences

All UMA rules concerning conduct, dress, and academic integrity apply in gym class. The UMA Cadet Guide is a great place to familiarize yourself with expectations.

The use of phones in gym class is unnecessary and inappropriate.. Please do not bring them to class or keep them stored in your stuff that you bring to class.  

Rules specific to the gym include:

1.  Water only.  You will be allowed to use the drinking fountain in the hall.

2.  No food allowed.

3.  No horseplay...this is a safety concern.
