COURSE CONTENT

Student Learning Outcomes:
At the conclusion of this course, the student should be able to:

1.  Participate in an individualized intermediate level aquatic calisthenics program while

    demonstrating appropriate water safety skills.

2.  Apply hydrodynamic principles, phases of aquatic calisthenic workouts and components of

    fitness to an aquatic calisthenics program.

3.  Design an individualized intermediate level aquatic calisthenics program.

 

Objectives:

At the conclusion of this course, the student should be able to:

1. Demonstrate intermediate level water safety concepts in relation to intermediate aquatic

    calisthenics.

Methods of Evaluation/Basis of Grade.

Writing: Assessment tools that demonstrate writing skill and/or require students to select, organize and explain ideas in writing.		Writing 0 - 0%
None
This is a degree applicable course but assessment tools based on writing are not included because skill demonstrations are more appropriate for this course.
Problem solving: Assessment tools, other than exams, that demonstrate competence in computational or non-computational problem solving skills.		Problem Solving 0 - 0%
None
Skill Demonstrations: All skill-based and physical demonstrations used for assessment purposes including skill performance exams.		Skill Demonstrations 20 - 40%
Aquatic calisthenic exercises, fitness assessment, cardio/respiratory conditioning, and heart rate calculation
Exams: All forms of formal testing, other than skill performance exams.		Exams 20 - 40%
Quiz(zes)
Other: Includes any assessment tools that do not logically fit into the above categories.		Other Category 40 - 60%
