Active participation includes taking part in classroom discussions, activities, demonstrations, and preparing specific assignments in preparation for class group work. Participation in the activities is an important academic component of this course. Due to the experiential nature of the course, regular attendance is required. Prompt attendance is a professional responsibility and courtesy (see Academic Regulations in the UVIC calendar).

Student Assignments Storage space is at a premium, and all assignments must be picked up from the instructor as soon as possible after they are marked. The assignments will be held by the instructor until the end of each term. Grading Worksheets (on CourseSpaces completed by Wednesday, October 9th); 5 x 2% = 10% Total Each of the main topics covered in this course has a worksheet associated with it. Worksheets are posted on the EPHE 253 CourseSpaces site. You may accumulate up to 10% of your final grade through the submission of any of the posted worksheets. While worksheets are related to the topics covered in this course, they are not dependent on the course content. You can complete any or all of your worksheets at any time before the due date. Worksheets will be graded as either: Pass or Fail. A worksheet may only be submitted once and only five worksheets may be submitted. Test (in class on Wednesday, November 6th); 25% A test will be conducted in scheduled class time. The test will be 50 minutes in duration and include both multiple-choice and short answer questions. The test will relate to content discussed in class up-to the test date. You will not be permitted to refer to notes during the test. Program Plan, Implementation and Evaluation Documentation (45%) Program Plan (in class Wednesday November 20th); 25% In groups of 5-7 you will design an innovative and relevant program that focuses specifically on engaging diverse and potentially vulnerable populations (Elderly, disability groups, people with chronic or degenerative diseases, Indigenous peoples, at-risk youth, first-time mothers, new migrants, etc.) to be physically active and to lead healthier lifestyles (further details will be discussed in class). Marks for the program implementation assignment will be awarded by the instructor for program planning and implementation activities (15%), and by the instructor based upon peer evaluation of each group members’ contribution to their group’s activities (for both Program Plan AND Program Implementation and Evaluation) (10%). To ensure equity in the submission of peer evaluations, class members will only receive a peer evaluation grade if they have submitted peer evaluations for the members of their group. Class time will be provided in lieu of personal time required to implement your group’s program. Program Implementation and Evaluation (in class on Wednesday December 4th) 20% In your assigned groups you will implement a strategy and develop an evaluation tool to help critique the effectiveness of your program plan. Marks for the program implementation part will be awarded by the instructor for the process, methods and/or strategies considered to implement program activities. Your group will also develop and submit an evaluation strategy using the three key strategies highlighted below. The final documentation compiled should be cohesive, visually appealing, and of professional quality. The proposal must include the following components: A. Identity statement B. Logo C. Program rational D. Description of target group E. Key stakeholders F. Needs analysis I. Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT) analysis II. Specific consultations III. Key issues (i.e. summary of key outcomes of the needs analysis) G. Program objectives H. Program Implementation strategies
