Undergrad Syllabus summary (1770 lines)

[Craig Mcdonald]

Hello:

Here are the responses I received for an undergrad syllabus. I've
tried to clean up the formatting, etc. but there may be a few spots I
missed. Hopefully the editor I've used will allow you to see the
results. I've separated the responses with ------s.

I think you will find a number of new ideas and references that could
be incorporated into the classes you teach. I also left in the
grading standards for comparison along with other misc information.

Thanks to all who responded. Any late arrivals will be posted.
One syllabus was being sent my regular postal mail.

Attached is an outline from our UG biomechanics course--taught this past
summer in a 4-week period. Student pre-reqs include math skills through
trig ( calculus recommended), at least one term of physics and two terms
of human anatomy (with cadaver dissection). At this point, the students
have also completed a year of basic biology and chemistry.

ALL of our majors are required to take this class--they have an option
of advanced biomechanics classes following successful completion of this
course. As well as the lecture material indicated in the outline,
students participate in a laboratory section--2 hrs / week.

I hope this information is helpful.

This course is designed to provide students with an understanding
of scientific analysis of movement. We shall examine the physiological,
structural, and mechanical bases for human movement, with examples drawn
from sport and rehabilitation. Laboratory sessions will deal with
theoretical and applied aspects of selected mechanical concepts. Lectures
will concentrate on a scientific approach to mechanisms underlying human
movement. The textbook for this course is:

Luttgens, Deutsch, & Hamilton. KINESIOLOGY: Scientific Basis of Human
Motion (8th edition) 1992

Students are to work all problems provided as unit problem sets.
Additional readings may be assigned from time to time and will be available
at the reserve desk of the Education Library (PCL) or at the Learning
Resources Center (LRC) in the Education Building.

Three exams will cover lecture, textbook, and laboratory materials
as well as other assigned material for the first three quarters of the
semester. A comprehensive final exam will review and synthesize material
from all parts of the course. Laboratory assignments will be reviewed
weekly, and are to be compiled in notebooks which will be graded at the end
of the semester.

Grading will be done by a point system. The three regular exams
will be worth 50 points each. The final exam will be worth 100 points.
The lab notebook will be worth a maximum of 50 points, including lab
participation and written assignments. Final grades will be determined as
follows:

A - 270 or more points
B - 240-269 points
C - 210-239 points
D - 180-209 points
F - below 180 points

The course will follow the textbook closely; the back of this sheet
contains a rough schedule for this semester.

This course requires application of mechanical principles of human
movement to real-life situations. This approach requires a thorough
knowledge of the structure of the musculoskeletal system, as well as the
ability to use algebraic and trigonometric formulae which relate force and
motion. Students without adequate preparation will be at a severe
disadvantage and should consult with the instructor about remedial steps
and alternative courses. KIN 324K (Human Anatomy) is a prerequisite for
this course. Math skills at the level of M305G or above are expected.
Students anticipating difficulty with mathematical aspects of this course
should consult the Learning Skills Center (Jester A332 - 471-3614). These

SPORTS MEDICINE 425
BIOMECHANICS of HUMAN MOVEMENT
WINTER, 1994


PROFESSOR: Michael Feltner, Ph.D.

OFFICE: Heritage Hall Hall 107

PHONE: (310) 456-4312

OFFICE HOURS: Tuesday 10:00 - 10:50 HH 107
Wednesday 8:00 - 8:50 (by appointment) HH 107
1:00 - 1:50 HH 107
Thursday 10:00 - 10:50 MSC 100
Other times by appointment. If I am not in my office (HH 107), then
check the Biomechanics/Motor Behavior Laboratory (FFH 122).

TEACHING ASSISTANT: Craig Robinson

TEXTBOOKS:

Fundamentals of Biomechanics by Ozkaya, N. & Nordin, M. (1991).
New York: Van Nostrand Reinhold.

In addition, numerous scientific articles and supplemental readings will
be used. You also will find your Anatomy (SPME 230), Physics
(PHYS102), and Kinesiology (SPME 400) textbooks an excellent review
source, as well as any mathematics textbooks that you may have (MATH
104 or MATH 210).

PREREQUISITES: 1. SPME 400 (Functional Anatomy & Kinesiology)
2. PHYS 102 (Basic Physics I) with a grade of C- or better.

You must have completed these classes BEFORE enrolling in this course.

ATTENDANCE: Unless you have a strong quantitative background and a
thorough understanding of Newtonian Mechanics, an absence in this
course may be harmful to your grade. Therefore, I strongly suggest that
you attend every class and laboratory session.

TIME & LOCATION: Lectures are scheduled for M, W and Th from 11:00 to
11:50 am in MSC 105.

The laboratory sections will meet in FFH 122 on:
1. M from 12:00 to 2:50 PM (section .51)
2. M from 3:00 to 5:50 PM (section .52)

"MUDDIEST POINT" CARDS: At the end of each class period you may turn in
a 3" x 5" index card (make certain that your name and the date are in
the upper right-hand corner). On the card you are to respond to the
following - What was the "muddiest" point in todays lecture? (In other
words, what idea/ concept/explanation is least clear to you?). You
will be given 2-3 minutes at the end of class to complete the cards and
turn them in before you leave. I will read over the cards after every
class and return them to you at the start of the next class period.
The cards determine my starting point for the next lecture - major
points of confusion will be discussed in class and individualized
questions will be addressed on the back of your cards.

The cards are graded by being turned in on a daily basis. Therefore, if
you wish to have the muddiest point cards used to compute your final
grade in the class (see the next section), make certain that you turn
them in daily! If you have no questions, then simply write "no
question" on the card and turn it in. You MAY NOT reuse cards! Even if
the cards will not be used to compute your final grade, you may still
turn in cards on the days that you have questions.

GRADING: In the semester, you will have two exams and a final
examination. Each class builds upon the material covered in the
previous class, and thus all exams may be thought of as being
comprehensive. In addition to the exams, your grade will be based
upon the other sources listed below.

PERCENTAGE
EXAM #1 19%
EXAM #2 19%
LAB ASSIGNMENTS 2%
HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENTS 2% or 2% or 0% or 0%
"MUDDIEST POINT CARDS" 2% or 0% or 2% or 0%
FINAL EXAM 6% or 8% or 8% or 10%
PAPER/PROJECT/PRESENTATION/GRADE REPORT 50%
_______________________________________________
TOTAL 100%


GRADING OPTION: You have one option in determining your final grade in
the class: your homework assignments and the "muddiest point" cards.
If you choose not to do one or both of them, the percentage weight of
the Final Exam will be increased by either 2% or 4%, respectively. You
must tell me your choice by the time of the last day of class -
4/13/93.

The final grade will be assigned according to the following percentile scores:

93.5 - 100 A
90.0 - 93.49 A-
87.5 - 89.99 B+
82.5 - 87.49 B
80.0 - 82.49 B-
77.5 - 79.99 C+
72.5 - 77.49 C
70.0 - 72.49 C-
67.5 - 69.99 D+
62.5 - 67.49 D
60.0 - 62.49 D-
59.99 or below F

I reserve the right to adjust this scale downward at my own discretion.
At no point will the scale be increased or made harder.

MAKEUP EXAMS: In order to take a makeup exam, I must be notified prior
to the class in which the exam will be administered. At this time, we
will work out the necessary details. If this procedure is not followed,
you will receive a 0 (ZERO) on the exam.

WITHDRAWAL: The final date to withdraw from the class with a grade of W
is 3/2/94. The final date to withdraw from the class with a grade of WP
or WF is 4/6/94.

If you withdraw from the class, notify me immediately. You will receive
a grade of 0 for all work that is not completed until I am notified
that you have dropped the class. Any grades of 0 will be used to
compute your class average and to determine your WP/WF status.

INCOMPLETES: They will only be issued in the case of an extreme
emergency.

LATE ASSIGNMENTS: They will not be accepted. This includes the
Homework and Paper.

EXTRA CREDIT: There is none. No exceptions.

COURSE OUTLINE: The tentative course outline is shown on the following
page. The topics covered in class may vary from those listed;
however, the dates of the examinations and the due dates for the various
aspects of the paper/project assignment will not change!!!!

PHONE: 755-3505
OFFICE HOURS: 10:00 MWF, 9:00 TR, and by appointment


COURSE DESCRIPTION:

The study of human movement based on the sciences of functional anatomy,
mechanics, and neuromuscular control. The in-depth biomechanical
analysis of human movement provides an understanding of how movement is
created and how to qualitatively analyze (diagnose and correct) motor
skills and exercises.

PREREQUISITE:

PED 1420 Human Anatomy

TEXT:

Hall, S. J. (1991). Basic Biomechanics. Mosby - Year Book: St. Louis.

COURSE GOALS:

To provide an understanding of how the human body and external forces
create human movement.

To provide biomechanical knowledge essential to the systematic analysis
of motor skills and exercise programs.

To provide experience in applying biomechanical knowledge in the analysis
of human movement in clinical and educational environments.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

Demonstrate knowledge of how skeletal and muscle architecture interact to
create the forces and torques required for human movement.

Demonstrate knowledge of muscle mechanical characteristics and how they
are related to the coordination of human movement.

Demonstrate knowledge of the neuromuscular control of muscle force and
movement.

Demonstrate knowledge of kinematic variables in human movement, and to
apply kinematics in analyzing human movement.

Demonstrate knowledge of kinetics, and to apply principles of kinetics to
analyzing human movement.

Identify methods of qualitative and quantitative analysis in
biomechanics.

Apply the principles of biomechanics in the qualitative analysis of
several fundamental movement patterns.

Complete a term project that synthesizes and critically evaluates the
professional and research literature on an issue related to the
biomechanics of human movement.

COURSE EVALUATION:

3 Exams 60%
Term Project 30%
Personal Merit 10%

Letter grades will be assigned based on the university scale. The
Baylor attendance policy (no passing grade for more than 25%
absences) will be enforced. It is very important that you attend
class and absences around 0% are expected. Three or fewer absences
will have no or even a positive effect on your grade. Four to seven
absences will cause a 5% grade reduction in your final grade, and
eight to eleven will cause one full 10% reduction in your final
grade. The personal merit evaluation will be based on homework,
attendance, and class participation (questions posed and questions
answered). Any work turned in late will have the grade reduced.
Make-up work is available with PRIOR arrangements with the
instructor.
A = 90 - 100%
B+ = 87 - 89%
B = 80 - 86%
C+ = 77 - 79%
C = 70 - 76%
D = 60 - 69%

It is also very important that you keep up with the readings in the
text. The text is easy to understand and provides excellent examples
and diagrams that supplement the lecture material. Examples and
exercises from the text are often very similar to problems used in
exam questions.

The project can be a term paper, oral class presentation, research
report, or any assignment approved by the instructor. The project
allows the student to do in-depth study on a biomechanical topic of
personal interest. This assignment also provides an opportunity for
the student to demonstrate an integration of the many areas of
knowledge that comprise biomechanics. A strong project can be very
helpful in diminishing the impact of a poor performance on an
examination. The term project will be due December 2nd at the
beginning of class. The project will be graded based on the
following criteria and weightings: Comprehensive Review of the
Literature (30%), Synthesis and Summary of the Literature Reviewed
(30%), Adherence to the Format (20%), and Writing and Paper
Presentation (20%).
