KINA 217 is being offered asynchronously. You are not required to report to a virtual kickboxing studio for personal fitness.  All course materials will be provided on a weekly basis for you to complete on your own timeline, within the requirements of the course calendar.

Virtual Office Hours: 9:30 am - 12:00 pm, Tue/Thu.

Contact me through direct e-mail.  I will generally respond to your emails within a few hours during weekdays.  On weekends, I will do my best to get back to you ASAP.  Since I won't regularly attend my office during covid-19, I will not be available by phone. 

Expect to complete 3-5 hours of work on this course, weekly.  See the course calendar for required weekly assignment submissions, participation discussion forums, fitness video's, and necessary worksheets and exams.  My goal is to provide all required materials to you, the student, on the Monday beginning each week.  Please recognize this is a goal and not a requirement of me.  Be patient with the process as I am working as diligently and efficiently as I expect you are.  Additional details can be found on the Syllabus.
