Late Assignments - Automatic Deductions
- Failing to show up for your fitness assessment appointment - you will be
charged an additional $6.50 for a
make-up.
Miss the make-up? Now
you need to bring $13.00 to your second make-up appointment.
- Failure to complete the fitness assessment - course failure
- Late assignments (after due date) - minus 750 points
- Late quiz - no makeup
possible. It is perfectly acceptable for students who miss class to take
the quiz for that week. Remember: the 2 lowest quiz scores will be thrown
out.
- Failure to complete behavior change logs or fitness assessment - course failure
Attendance
Class attendance (1000 points per class) will be accounted for by in-class
work that can only be handed in at the end of class. Of the 12 scheduled
class sessions, students are required to attend 10. Since students may miss up to
two class sessions without penalty, there will be no “excused absences.” All
absences will be judged equally, whether the student considers them “excused” or
not. For example, students who know ahead of time that they will miss class due
to competitions, performances, events, or other obligations (UWSP-related or
not) will simply use the freebies on those occasions.
Extenuating circumstances will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Please
contact the instructors to discuss your case.
Online Assignments
Healthy American online assignments are BEST completed in any computer lab on
campus. Although you may access assignments via the Internet where possible
using your own computer, know that different personal computers have different
networking capabilities (e.g., Macs vs. PCs). It is your responsibility to know
BEFORE the assignment deadline if your own personal computer or network is not
compatible with the University system. To ensure proper credit is obtained, we
strongly suggest that you submit your work through a computer in a campus
computer lab.
