We recommend that KINE 435 Physiology of Exercise Laboratory be certified as a writing (W) course. We have reviewed a representative syllabus and have determined that the course meets or exceeds the following criteria: (1) 70% of the final grade is based on writing quality; (2) the total number of words is 6,600; (3) the instructor to student ratio is 1:20; and (4) the assigned writing is appropriate to the major.
