Fundamentals of Exercise Physiology Syllabus |
|
1) Each week we will have Exercise Physiology topical content which I will discuss with written information and short Youtube videos. There will be ONE WEB PAGE link for you to follow for each week (See below).
2) Every student will work at her/his OWN pace, on your own time, through each week's content.
3) At the end of the content for each week is an OPEN NOTE Exam, from the content that I provide you for that week.
4) Each Weekly Exam is due by the Friday of that week at midnight (no late papers accepted without a valid excuse). The 'weight' of each exam is shown in the course syllabus.
5) Exercise Physiology One-on-One with Dr. Kravitz via ZOOM. Class, PEP326 can sometimes be confusing, particlarly with the metabolism pathways we study. If you wish additional assistance with any topic email Dr. Kravitz (lkravitz@unm.edu) to set up a ZOOM meeting.
6) NOTE, I do not use UNM LEARN. All projects, lectures and weekly exams are found on this PEP 326L HOME Page.
SPECIAL NOTE: Each of the Links below will be ACTIVATED for student access on the MONDAY of that week (except holidays). |
