HEED 202 - CRN 50776

Contact Information:

Instructor: Brian Locher (he/him)

E-mail: brian_locher@cuesta.edu

Office Hours/Location: Zoom

Instructor Contact Expectations:

Please email me questions or concerns. I will respond by the evening of the day I receive your email. If any questions you have are expensive in nature, we can schedule a Zoom meeting to discuss.

Course Environment:

This online course will use Canvas and McGraw-Hill Connect to disseminate information. Canvas provides the framework for the course, including PowerPoint presentations, student data files, recourse links and required attachments, the tools to receive and send course materials, assignment/discussion links, and a grade book etc. Through McGraw-Hill Connect, you will be reading your text and taking quizzes. McGraw-Hill Connect is integrated with the Canvas platform. You do not need to navigate to separate sites to complete your coursework. All coursework is completed through Canvas.

Accessing the Course:

You will see your course in Canvas on the first day of class. You can access Canvas by clicking on Canvas from the top bar of the Cuesta homepage (www.cuesta.edu) or by typing the Canvas address (https://cuesta.instructure.com/) into your browser address bar.

If you are not familiar with logging into Canvas, please refer to the Canvas Quick Reference GuideLinks to an external site. Once logged into Canvas, you will be directed to where to get started. Be sure to read all the directions on the course home page.

If you are having difficulty logging into Canvas after the first two days of class and need assistance, please email me or technical support at this email address support@my.cuesta.edu.

Online Learning:

If you have never taken an online class or this is your first experience with Canvas, please be patient with yourself. Online classes are not inherently easier, although they may be much more convenient for many students. You should expect to spend at least as much time, if not more, on this course as you would on a course that meets face-to-face. Since there is no lecture component, much of this time will be self-directed and there will be a substantial amount of reading, viewing, studying, and writing required. This course is completely online using Canvas; all coursework (discussions, assignments, quizzes) are submitted online. There are no face-to-face meetings. Please be prepared to spend 8 - 12 hours per week on coursework for this class

IS an ONLINE CLASS FOR YOU?

Go to the Cuesta College Canvas Tutorial (self-paced) Links to an external site., there are many resources that were designed to help you understand the basis for an online class and the skills necessary for success. If the tutorials do NOT describe you, then taking this class online is NOT for you, and I strongly suggest that you drop the online class and enroll in a traditional classroom section.

Regular Effective Contact Policy:

Regular and Effective Instructor Contact will be met through weekly instructor-initiated threaded discussion forums; weekly announcements to students; timely and effective feedback on student assignments; email, phone, or messaging to individuals; and virtual office hours.

Over the next 18 weeks, I will be your guide to exploring the world of Kinesiology, learning about new professions, and helping you find out exactly why you are here. KINE 201 is a fun course, but it is also challenging. I'm glad you are here, and I look forward to working with you.

Course Expectations:

Expect to complete 12+ hours of work on this course weekly. Typically, I will cover two to three chapters from your eBook in a week, which speeds up the learning rate and the pace of the class. Please see the course calendar outlined through Modules for required weekly quizzes, assignment submissions, discussion forums, video presentations, course lectures, and the opportunity to review PowerPoint slides and complete reading assignments. My goal is to provide all required study materials to you at the beginning of the term and to have you complete them on a week-by-week basis. You can work ahead in this course, but you can't fall behind. Please recognize this is a goal and not a requirement of me. Be patient with the process of updating course material and opening Modules, as I am working as diligently and efficiently as I expect you to be. Additional details concerning the course can be found on the Syllabus.

Course Diversity Statement:

Inclusion, diversity, and equity are hallmarks of a safe, supportive, and educational classroom environment. Part of my objective for this course is to create a safe space that enables all students to engage openly, respectfully, and equally with their classmates and their instructor for their education. Please help me create this space with your own positive actions towards others as well.
