As we do not get to officially meet everyone in person, it is essential that you regularly check your email and D2L for information updates as this is our main means of communicating with you. Assignment details are explained in detail on D2L under the “Assignments” section. If you have any questions, please contact Keri Morrison.ASSIGNMENTSGuidelines and grading rubrics for all assignments are located on D2L. D2L will open the first day of class.Course ScheduleThe table below describes the activities and due dates for this class. The first column lists the item that needs to be completed, the second column lists the dates the item is due, the third column lists the time the item is due, and the fourth column lists the percentage of final grade. Brief assignment descriptions are provided below the table.

For example, one student may hand in 4 Weekly Assignments, while another student hands in 10. To figure out your grade on the Weekly Assignments at the end of the semester:(Your Total Points on Weekly Assignments handed in / Total # of Weekly Assignments You Have Completed for Your Internship) * 100 = # points out of 100 possible points. Therefore, taking the example above, if the individual handed in 10 weekly assignments and got 9 points across those 10 weekly assignments, their score would be: (9/10) *100 = 90 points.Proposal Assignment and Final Report:These assignments will be graded according to their associated grading pages and rubrics. Please see assignment instructions on D2L for further detail. Evaluation CriteriaYour grade is a weighted average based on the following table: *Please note we use the “% of Final Grade” in the chart below to calculate your final grade (not the points). For example, if you get 92/100 points on your weekly assignments: 92/100 = 0.92 0.92 x 0.25 [25%] = 0.23; to get your percentage out of 25% 0.23 x 100% = 23%. Therefore, you have a total of 23% out of 25% for Weekly Assignments.% of Final GradeDescriptionGraded out of:25%Weekly Assignments100 points15%Proposal Assignment & Personal Objectives Scale15 points10%Site Supervisor Midterm Performance Evaluation40 points15%Site Supervisor Final Performance Evaluation40 points35%Final Report40 points100%Total Grading ScaleYour final grade in this course will be determined based on your overall weighted percentage.

Your TA will grade the late assignment when grading assignments the following week. Please do not email it to the TA or Instructors. If it is the first time you have missed a Weekly Assignment and it is within one week late, we will not count it against you (you will be graded normally). TWO OR MORE WEEKS LATE: If you miss submitting a Weekly Assignment and it has been more than 1 week and hand it into a later Dropbox, you will receive no credit (0/1) for the assignment (even if it is the first missed assignment). However, if you get your site supervisor to verify your hours for the missed assignment (site supervisor should send email verifying the missed hours to the TA and instructors), you may still claim the hours worked and you will not have to “redo” the hours at your internship site, but you are still required to submit properly structured assignment for that week. NO HOURS TO REPORT: If you do not have any hours to report for any given week, you do not need to submit an assignment for that week.Proposal Assignment & Personal Objectives Scale:For every 24-hour period your assignment is late, 2 points will be deducted (even if 5 minutes late).As the Proposal Assignment & Personal Objectives Scale is the backbone of this course, if it is not completed properly you will be asked to redo the assignment. Final Report:For every 24-hour period your assignment is late, 5 points will be deducted (even if 5 minutes late). Viewing GradesWhenever possible, the following will apply to viewing your grades:Weekly Assignments: We will make every effort to grade the Weekly Assignments with feedback provided on D2L by Sunday at 5:00pm. Please be sure to read the comments each week on D2L as there may be important information regarding your assignment structure that you may need to modify for the following Weekly Assignment. Proposal Assignment & Personal Objectives Scale: We will make every effort to have grades and comments posted on D2L three weeks after the due date. Please revise the Proposal Assignment & Personal Objectives Scale according to the instructor’s comments as early as possible as you will need components of the Proposal Assignment at the midpoint of your hours for the revised Personal Objectives Scale and for the Final Report.Midterm & Final Performance Evaluations: Once your site supervisor has completed each of the evaluations, a copy of the evaluation will be sent automatically when the supervisor clicks “submit” (please ensure you provide your site supervisor with your correct email address) to you as the student, the instructors, and the supervisor. The grade will be transferred to D2L within a week of the instructors receiving the evaluations. Midterm Performance Evaluations should be completed as close to the midpoint of the student’s hours as possible, and the Final Performance Evaluations should be completed by the due date provided so that the student does not receive an “Incomplete” or a 0.0 in the course.Final Report: Grades will be posted on D2L by the last day of the semester when grades are due.Part 5: Course PoliciesD2L Website / MSU EmailThis course will be using the D2L website and MSU email for all course information and communication. You can access the site by going to the following site . You will need your net ID and password to login. Students are responsible for checking both D2L and their MSU email at least every week to stay informed about class updates. Students can check their grades through D2L and are expected to notify the instructor of any discrepancies within a week so corrections can be made. Emails to the instructor and TA regarding the class will be responded to as soon as possible. You can expect email responses during the regular workday and work week (Monday-Friday 9am-5pm), and we will do our best to respond to you as soon as possible within that time frame. When sending an email with questions regarding assignments, they should be sent with the aforementioned timelines in consideration (i.e., please do not expect a response Saturday/Sunday for an assignment that is due Monday; give us sufficient time to respond to your inquiry).Tardiness / Absence / ProfessionalismTreat your internship like you would a job. You are expected to arrive on time to your internship and to remain for the duration of your work hours. You are also expected to ask your site supervisor for permission to get time off for vacation, doctor’s appointments, etc. Time off will be at the discretion of your site supervisor. You should carry on professional conversations with colleagues and patients/patrons and abide by the rules of the site.Dismissed / FiredIf you are dismissed/fired during your internship from your internship site, you will automatically receive a grade of 0.0.Dress CodePlease ask your site supervisor for your site’s specific dress code policy and then abide by it.Financial CompensationSome internships may include some form of stipend or wage. However, this is not required by the Department of Kinesiology and is at the discretion of each site. Pre-Approval RequiredIf you are planning to work more than 40 hours per week you must get pre-approval from the Internship Coordinator.Two Internship SitesIf you have been approved to take your internship at 2 sites, please email the Internship Coordinator right away. In the email state which 2 internship sites you have been approved for. I will email you back to let you know if you can do one Proposal Assignment and one Final Report or if you will need to do two (one for each site). BOTH sites must provide a Midpoint & Final Personal Objectives Scale and a Midterm & Final Performance mit to Integrity: Academic HonestyThe Kinesiology Department adheres to the regulations set out in the Student Rights and Responsibilities, and adheres to the policies on academic honesty. (See also Spartan Life: Student Handbook and Resource Guide and/or the MSU Web site: msu.edu.)Therefore, unless authorized by your instructor, you are expected to complete all course assignments, including homework, lab work, quizzes, tests and exams, without assistance from any source. You are expected to develop original work for this course; therefore, you may not submit course work you completed for another course to satisfy the requirements for this course. Students are expected to submit hours only for the hours they actually worked under supervision at their site. Students may not “pad” or falsify their internship hours. Students who violate MSU academic integrity rules may receive a penalty grade, including a failing grade on the assignment or in the course. Contact your instructor if you are unsure about the appropriateness of your course work. (See also?the Academic Integrity webpage). This course uses “Turnitin” software to check for originality of work. Please see the Turnitin website for further detail. The Spartan Code of Honor Academic Pledge“?As a Spartan, I will strive to uphold values of the highest ethical standard. I will practice honesty in my work, foster honesty in my peers, and take pride in knowing that honor in ownership is worth more than grades. I will carry these values beyond my time as a student at Michigan State University, continuing the endeavor to build personal integrity in all that I do.?”Actions that may result in a 0.0 and/or an Academic Dishonesty ReportAll of your internship hours are to be done under supervision at your internship site. The student cannot perform any kind of research, reading, game tape or film analyses, practice exercises, or any other activities at home or external to the site and claim them as internship hours (or any other type of work that is not under direct supervision). The student cannot “research” graduate programs/requirements, job markets, and/or salaries and claim it as internship hours.You may not log internship hours unless you are enrolled in KIN 492/493. Therefore, the first day of the semester is the first day you may begin logging internship hours (or if you late enroll in the class, the first day in which you are officially enrolled is the first day you can start counting internship hours toward the class).The student may not claim drive time to or from the internship as internship hours.The student cannot study for a GRE or any other test and claim it as part of your internship hours.If you wait until the last week of the semester to hand in your Weekly Assignments all at once or you do not hand them in EVERY week you are actually working and claiming hours, you may receive a 0.0 in KIN 492/493.If you do not finish all of your internship hours by the end of the semester, you may receive a 0.0 in KIN 492/493.Getting dismissed/fired from your internship will result in an automatic 0.0 in the class.The student may not claim their lunch hour as part of your internship hours unless it is required of their “job description” by your site supervisor. For example, if a student is a camp counselor at a sports camp and are required to supervise the children during the lunch hour then they may claim the lunch hour under the 20% rule (Approximately 80% of your hours each week should be spent on Kinesiology-related tasks; only a maximum of 20% of your hours per week should be spent on non-Kinesiology related tasks like folding towels, cleaning, checking people in at a gym counter, etc.). The student cannot take a course at another university because it is a requirement for graduate school and claim it as internship hours.The student cannot interview for jobs or work on their resume and claim it as internship hours.The student cannot leave the internship site at 4:45pm and claim that they worked until 5:00pm. A student may not use any portion of another student’s work (from the current semester or any previous semester) and claim it as their own (this is plagiarism). This will result in a 0.0 and Academic Dishonesty Report.If we do not have a Proposal Assignment & Personal Objectives Scale for you uploaded to D2L by the 4th week of your internship, you internship hours are no longer valid and therefore you may receive a 0.0 in KIN 492/493.You may NOT falsify or “pad” your internship hours by claiming more hours than what you actually worked. This information is tracked weekly by the TA. If there are any discrepancies at the end of the semester between your hours and the record we have for your hours, the information we have on file will stand, and therefore you will be required to complete any additional hours before the end of the semester, and this could result in a 0.0 or Academic Dishonesty issue. As such, retrospectively changing weekly hour spreadsheets is not allowed.If the student’s recorded hours are discrepant from the site’s record of your hours, this may result in a 0.0 for the class and be considered an Academic Dishonesty issue. Limits to Confidentiality – Mandatory ReportingEssays, journals, and other materials submitted for this class are generally considered confidential pursuant to the University's student record policies.? However, students should be aware that University employees, including instructors, may not be able to maintain confidentiality when it conflicts with their responsibility to report certain issues to protect the health and safety of MSU community members and others.? As the instructor, I must report the following information to other University offices (including the Department of Police and Public Safety) if you share it with me:Suspected child abuse/neglect, even if this maltreatment happened when you were a child;Allegations of sexual assault or sexual harassment when they involve MSU students, faculty, or staff, and;Credible threats of harm to oneself or to others.These reports?may trigger contact from?a campus official?who will want to talk with you about the incident that you have shared.? In almost all cases, it will be your decision whether you wish to speak with that individual.? If you would like to talk about these events in a more confidential setting you are encouraged to make an appointment with the MSU Counseling rm Your Instructor of Any Accommodations NeededFrom the Resource Center for Persons with Disabilities (RCPD): Michigan State University is committed to providing equal opportunity for participation in all programs, services and activities.
