3 (February 8 th,april 18 th and May 2 nd ). You will go to Neal Dow a 4 th time outside of class. You will sign up for this time/date during the 2 nd week of class. For the 4 th day you will create & implement a lesson plan to improve the fitness levels of the 4 th and 6 th graders. Attendance at all 4 events is mandatory. This grade will be based upon the group s lesson plan (30 points), attendance at the school during our class times (50 points), and the implementation and evaluation of your lesson plan (40 points). Social Marketing: as a class we will select a topic to focus a social marketing campaign on. For this assignment you will (1) in a group create a video marketing our topic that you will put on youtube for distribution (50 points) (2) create an individual social marketing plan (30 points) (3) implement and evaluate your social marketing plan & campaign (40 points). Theory Presentation: You will apply one of the theories to a health behavior of your choice and present the theory model to groups in class. These presentations will occur throughout the semester based on which theory you present. The day you present, you need to bring handouts of the model with your health behavior for the class. Sign-ups will happen during the 1 st week of class. If you want to switch presentation dates once you have signed up for a theory it is your responsibility to find a student to switch dates/theories with you. Attendance & Participation: Our class only meets 14 times. Much of our class focuses on in-class planning activities. Therefore attendance & participation are essential. Approximately 25% of your class grade is based on attendance and participation. Late work: Assignments are due by 4:30 pm on the due date either to me in person or in my department mailbox (Butte 607). ED ASSIGNMENTS ARE NOT ACCEPTED and therefore will not be counted as turned in. Points will be deducted for late assignments. Assignments turned in after their due date will get 20% of the grade deducted for EACH BUSINESS day (M-F) that the assignment is late. Therefore, an assignment will be worth 0 points if it is turned in 5 days late. Make-up work: For the lesson/program plans (Neal Dow or Social Marketing) you can turn in a corrected assignment in within 1 week (7 days) of the original being handed back. You have the potential of earning ½ the missed points on the revised version. Exams: There will be one exam, your final, worth 50 points. The exam will be a takehome test and will cover all information presented in class and in reading assignments. Other Important Notes: - Course grades will be based on a plus/minus system. - All assignments must be spell-checked and proofread. - The PowerPoint presentation is not available to students. If you miss a class it is your responsibility to get the necessary information/notes from another student. 3
