- Learning Outcomes: 8.1 Written Examinations- The course will be divided into 3 sections with an exam at the end of each section. Examinations will be a combination of multiple choice, short answer and essay.
8.2 The research paper gives the student an in-depth exposure to a selected topic in sports medicine. This topic must be approved in advance. A one- page outline of the topic will be submitted to the instructor for approval prior to beginning the project. The central focus of the project is to review the scientific literature on the topic and prepare a well-organized critical review of the subject in question. The student will become familiar with the scientific literature in this area and with technical report writing. At least 8 references from data-based research articles will be used in this review. Additional references may be from textbooks, the internet, personal conversations, etc.
8.3 Quizzes- weekly reading accountability quizzes will be given to reinforce information obtained from the reading assignments prior to the lecture on the material.
8.4 Presentation- Students will sign up for a presentation date and topic area. These presentations will occur the class period prior to each examination. The student will prepare a 5-10 minute presentation to review selected material that was covered in that particular section. Review presentations may include activities, games, review questions or any other creative activity that encourages class participation in the review process. Students will also complete 5 review questions to be given to the rest of the students in class.
