We recommend that KINE 439 Exercise Evaluation and Prescription 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) 27% of the final grade is based on writing quality; (2) the total number of words is 5,750; (3) the instructor to student ratio is 2:15; and (4) the assigned writing is appropriate to the major.
KINE 439’s writing component consists of one practice lab report write-up, three lab report write-ups, and an exercise prescription case study. Students receive formative feedback on the practice lab report write-up and undergo a peer workshop before submitting the first lab report write-up. Writing instruction includes several class periods devoted to different writing topics and models of well-written and poorly written papers in the field.
