A.  Course Overview:  Students in Sport Psychology will gain an understanding of concepts and applications of the psychology involved with sport competition.  Students will be expected to understand psychology terminology and basic concepts as they relate to sport.  Attendance is vital as classroom/Webex participation in discussion directly applies towards the final grade. 

B.  Grading:  Students will be expected to maintain a minimum of 75% on all terminology exams, as terminology is vital to success.  Students will also be assessed after each unit of instruction.  Point values will be assigned for each unit.   A final paper will be assigned midway through the semester.  Homework will be given on occasion. (If below an “A” there will be regular homework)

You will be graded on a percentage basis:       90% - 100%                A

                                                                        80% - 89%                  B

                                                                        70% - 79%                  C

                                                                       

Make up work will be allowed for any “excused” absence and should be completed within five days.  **Most of you will be athletes.  You can always do this work on the bus.  My assignments are not difficult (although we do have two bigger assignments that will take some time).  

C.   Classroom Rules and Procedures:  The rules and procedures of Sport Psychology are simple and should be adhered to at all times. 

Rule 1:  You are expected to listen with your ears and eyes to the instructor. 

Rule 2:  You are expected to be on time to class.

Rule 3:  You are expected to be courteous and respectful of all people in class at all times. **This includes Webex etiquette.   

Consequences:

Any conduct that deviates from this will not be allowed.  Consequences for not following the rules will be:

1. Verbal reminders
2. Removal from area
3. Call home
4. Detention
5. Office Referral

I ___________________ have read and understand the classroom management plan for Sport Psychology for the 2020/21 school year.

With the iPads, I will not be doing weekly grade checks.  You are responsible for your own grades.  If you drop below an "A", you need to see me!  There is absolutely NO reason to get less than an "A" in this class.  It's interesting, it's fun, and it's personal (at least it should be).  Why would you get any less than an "A"?  :)
