completion. Research demonstrates how discovering knowledge is a service to others.
2. Expected proficiencies required in order to take the course: Statistics, writing, public
speaking, and CANVAS proficiency to submit, respond, and interact with instructor and
students.
3. Listing of related program learning outcomes (PLO). A full description of all PLOs can

X. Course Policies
1. Appeal procedures: If there are any concerns or questions about grading procedures or
grades earned, there is an open door policy to discuss such matters with the instructor.
2. All graded exams, assignments, and project due dates are final. No make-ups will be
accepted unless previously coordinated with the instructor. Appeals for late acceptance
may be considered in the case of an emergency or other related circumstance if
communication with the instructor is reasonably immediate after the emergency. Other
course work that is expected, but not graded, may be used to influence leadership points.
3. Attendance: As a leader, attendance is important and may be monitored. Please arrive
before the opening of class to avoid tardiness. Be prompt for class, participate fully (see
class participation below), and be prepared with the assignments for the day. This class
starts on time and being late disrupts the class for everyone. Violations of dress and
grooming standards (See Dress and Grooming Standards below) will be turned over to
the honor code if not corrected.
4. Class participation: Class participation is expected and demonstrates Leadership. Respect
your classmates and teacher by listening when they are talking. Silence cellphones and do
not use them in class unless asked to by the instructor. A successful student is prepared to
learn, engages in class discussions, asks questions, goes beyond the minimum assignment
and has good self-discipline.
5. Plagiarism: All plagiarism will be submitted to the honor code office and will result in
zero credit. See https://honorcode.byuh.edu/content/academic-honesty for definition and
explanation of plagiarism (See University Policies below)
6. Support Services: Learn more about the following University support services to enhance
your learning.
i. Library: https://library.byuh.edu/library
ii. Computer terminal availability: http://labs.byuh.edu/
iii. Reading and Writing Center: http://readingwritingcenter.byuh.edu/

Prepare Assignments:
i. Weekly Accounting Calendar. The purpose of the assignments is to maintain pace
throughout the course and prepare for data analysis and the final manuscript.
Create a calendar with your goals of how/when you will complete your project
during the semester. This calendar must include but is not limited to days for
data collection, analysis, writing results, creating tables & figures, writing
discussion, reviewing your full manuscript, presentation planning, submitting
ppt and manuscript, presenting, revisions, turn in final bound manuscript.
Update your calendar weekly.
ii. Tests. The purpose of these tests is to prepare you for your data collection,
analysis, oral presentation and written manuscript. Test topics may include
1. Data analysis
2. Excel file and Codebook
3. Tables and Figures
4. Abstract
5. Oral Presentation and Written Manuscript
Engage Assignments:
i. Final Data Excel file & Codebook. The purpose of this assignment is to turn in
your data set for any questioning or reanalysis required for your study. Submit
a codebook and data excel file. Excel sheet with multiple tabs is required. You
may organize your data in multiple ways, using multiple tabs, but all data
should be organized appropriately with one tab being a codebook.
ii. Consent forms/hard data forms. Physical consent and hard data forms must
remain on file to be reviewed upon request by the Institution. Turn in any
physical consent forms or physical data collection sheets/forms. If all consent
forms were electronic (e.g., survey data), write a note in Canvas in this
assignment explaining such.
iii. Oral Presentation. You will be evaluated based on the University’s oral
communication rubric which can be found using the link below. It covers the
areas of content, language use, and delivery. A presentation arranged with the
instructor at the university, college, or department level is required.

mmunicationRubric%2012-16-2015%20%282%29.pdf
Improve Assignments:
i. Final Electronic and Bound Manuscript Submissions. You may improve any part
of your manuscript throughout the semester. After the presentation you will
receive some feedback and need to improve your presentation and manuscript
material. Make the corrections and any other corrections you find. Review the
checklist. Manuscript preparation must be submitted in .doc or .docx format in
Canvas for turnitin screening. Use the course template for formatting. This is
similar to preparation guidelines for the International Journal of Exercise
Science Guidelines http://digitalcommons.wku.edu/ijes/styleguide.html with
minor changes. Submit all of the following as one bound manuscript and
electronically on Canvas (will be multiple files)
1. Title Page and Overall Formatting
