Extended Course Description Students are introduced to the socio-cultural study of the body, health and healthcare. That the body is a social construction as well as a biological organism means that no human being lives outside of society. We all experience lifelong socialization as embodied persons interacting within specific social environments. An individual’s social body is categorized and trained into socially approved roles and practices that are informed by cultural, political and historical conditions and that influence and are influenced by one’s perceived gender, appearance, age, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, ability, and class or caste. As the core socio-cultural course in our Kinesiology and Health Science undergraduate degree, KINE 1000 focuses on understanding the social body as key to a critical approach to physical culture, health and human rights.

Course Objectives Following this course, students will be able to:

1. Understand the concept of social construction as it pertains to physical activity, the body and health.

2. Develop a critical understanding of how power relations, privilege and stereotyping generate and perpetuate inequalities and prejudices about human bodies with respect to hegemonic societal standards of health and performance.

3. Critically reflect on the nature of scientific paradigms and scientific knowledge as it pertains to the study of physical activity, body and health.

4. Analyze physical activity and health as social and historical institutions influenced by material conditions of life.

5. Analyze physical activity and sport in contemporary North American society sociologically. 6. Develop and have the opportunity to demonstrate university-level reading comprehension, critical

evaluation, and writing skills. Email policy Email is great technology when used in moderation. Although you may use email to share comments and concerns not raised in class, email will be reserved primarily for arranging appointments and/or attending to issues that need to be resolved before the next tutorial. Consult the course outline prior to emailing since often the information is there. Emailed queries on material found in the course outline and/or Moodle will NOT be answered. Course material will be reviewed in class only. Every effort will be made to respond to emails within two business days.

Please ensure that email messages are professional, clear and coherent. Avoid instant text messaging terms, inappropriate language, emoticons and poor spelling, punctuation or grammar. Simply put, if we cannot understand your email, we cannot respond to it. Please include <KINE1000> in the subject line of the email. Emails should be initially directed to your Tutorial Leader. Following that, emails should be directed to the Course Director.

Turnitin In order to maintain the academic integrity of your degree, the course utilises Turnitin as a method of reducing plagiarism. In addition to handing in hard copies of the assignments at the beginning of lectures, students are to submit a copy of their work to Turnitin no later than the beginning of lecture. If you prefer not to submit to Turnitin, you must contact the Course Director no later than two full weeks before the assignment deadline, submit all the draft copies, write an Annotated Bibliography of all the references used in preparing your work and be prepared for an oral presentation and defense of your work. Moodle Most, but not all, lectures will be recorded through lecture capture technology and be posted in our course Moodle site. In efforts to encourage comprehensive note-taking skills, we post our Power Point presentation slides following lecture. Be aware that lecture capture and web-posted slides should be approached as a complement to your lectures, not a substitute.

Assignment Submission and Lateness Penalties Proper academic performance depends on students doing their work not only well, but on time. Assignments are due in lecture on their due dates. You are required to hand in your assignment by the beginning of lecture on the due date. You are also required to hand in your assignment to Turnitin no later than the beginning of lecture on the due date. Both a hard-copy and Turnitin copy are required for an assignment to be considered complete. Both a hard-copy and Turnitin copy must be submitted on time for the assignment to be considered submitted on time. E-mailed assignments will NOT be accepted. Assignments submitted outside of lecture will only be accepted at 306 Stong. Assignments handed into 341 Bethune (the Undergraduate Office) will NOT be accepted. An assignment is considered LATE if either the hard-copy or Turnitin copy are handed in after 12:00pm on the due date. Late assignments will be penalized with a 20% grade reduction, unless they are accompanied by a doctor’s or court-date note, or by other official documentation detailing a serious matter. Be aware that doctor(s) must complete York University’s Physician Statement to be found on York’s Registrar site. Documentation must be attached to the assignment and the assignment must be handed in as soon as possible. If you anticipate not being able to hand in your assignment for more than two weeks from the due date for medical reasons, or for some other serious matter, you must contact the Course Director immediately in addition to providing formal documentation. Assignments handed in without formal documentation later than 4:30pm on the day after the due date will NOT be marked at all and will automatically receive a grade of zero.

NOTE

Assignments handed in by 12:00pm on the due date: no penalty Assignments handed in after 12:00pm on the due date: 20% grade reduction

Assignments handed in after 4:30pm on the day after the due date: no grade (0%)

Missed Exams Students with acceptable documentation (see above) must request permission from the Course Director to attend a make-up exam. Make-up exams are NOT guaranteed. Complete and timely documentation on correct York University forms must accompany requests for make-up exams. Very late extensions or accommodations for the Final Exam or any other evaluation matter for the course will require students to submit a formal petition to the Faculty of Health. Please inquire at the Kinesiology and Health Science Undergraduate Office, 341 Bethune. Appeals Process Assignments are graded by the tutorial leaders who are knowledgeable and experienced graders. You may ask for a grade re-assessment on an assignment. This, however, is not an ordinary occurrence but an exception. Simply wanting a higher grade is not an acceptable reason for requesting a re-assessment. Please note that the grade for reassessed assignments may go up, down or remain the same. If you believe that your assignment has been wrongly graded, explain why in a one-page, typed letter. Staple this to your graded assignment and hand it back to staff in 306 Stong College who will see that your appeal is forwarded to Tutorial Coordinator, Dr. Nick Ashby. The appeals submission deadline for fall term work is Monday November 19, 2012 and Monday, April 8, 2013 for winter term work. Appeals submitted after these deadlines will not be accepted. Appeals process decisions are final.

Assignments – Specific Instructions

Photo Essay Worth: 10% of final grade Due in lecture: Monday, October 15th, 2012 Length: 4 pages double-spaced + Photo + title page, 12pt Times New Roman, one inch margins all around, numbered pages (except title page and photo); thesis-based essay structure required; paragraphing required; no underlining or boldface; no outside research allowed but non-superficial discussion and analysis expected, drawing on themes and key ideas from the course; length limit strictly observed – your paper will not be read beyond the first four pages and the grade will be based solely on these four pages together with the photo. Grading criteria: Clear, effective photo; clear, insightful analysis of photo; effective organization of information; grammar, spelling, vocabulary, and format Purpose of assignment: Photovoice is a process of collecting information and expressing personal/community experiences, strengths, problems and issues through photos for the purpose of promoting knowledge, critical dialogue and engaging others (e.g. policy-makers, community leaders, family and friends). This assignment requires you to emulate the activity of collecting photographic information and to engage in critical analysis of the information. The goal of the assignment is to raise awareness of physical activity inequities in our daily lives. Instructions: 1) Focusing on the social spaces, activities and situations that make up your daily life, take a digital picture (at least 5 megapixels) of what you deem to be an example of physical activity inequity. The picture could feature yourself and/or others. But the photo CANNOT show faces or identifying characteristics. You can accomplish this by ensuring that identifying features are not captured in the original image or by blotting or cropping them out later using image management software. 2) Write a four-page essay based on the photo. In the body of your essay, begin by explaining how the image symbolizes inequity. Next, argue for what you believe to be the ultimate cause/causes of the inequity. Finish off the body of the essay with a brief account of what you think should be done to help resolve the inequity. The body of your essay should make up about three and a half pages. Finally, write a short introductory paragraph in which you briefly describe the circumstances under which you took the photo and state your thesis (in a sentence or two) about the ultimate cause/causes of the inequity, and a short conclusion paragraph in which you emphasize what you believe to be the most important points in the essay. Place the introductory paragraph at the beginning of the essay and the conclusion paragraph at the end. The introductory paragraph and conclusion paragraph taken together should make up no more than about half a page of the essay. If you are unsure about how to write an essay, consult your Critical Skills Manual, which came as part of your KINE1000 course kit. 3) Complete the title page (see sample in the Course Outline) and then place the title page at the front of the essay, a hard copy of the photo (it should be a minimum of 4 x 6” with your name written on it) at the back of the essay and then staple the whole together in the top left corner (no paperclips, bull clips, folders or scrunched up corners allowed). Hand in at lecture on the due date. Also submit an electronic copy of the essay to Turnitin by the due date. 4) Submit the photo digitally as a .jpeg file with your first and last name in the file name as your photo will be uploaded into a virtual photo gallery. How to submit it will be announced in lecture.

Be sure to follow the Mandatory Format Requirements for all written assignments.

Leisure Mapping Essay Worth: 20% of final grade Due in lecture: Monday, February 25th, 2013 Length: 7 pages double-spaced + references page + time map + title page, 12pt Times New Roman, one inch margins all around, numbered pages (except title page and time map); thesis-based essay structure required, paragraphing required, no underlining or boldface; research required; non-superficial discussion and analysis expected, drawing on and elaborating themes and key ideas from the course with the aid of research sources; length limit strictly observed – your essay will not be read beyond the first seven pages and the grade will be based solely on these seven pages together with the references page and time map. Grading criteria: Clear, effective time map; clear, insightful analysis of time map in terms of ideas and themes of the course using research sources; correct APA in-text citations and APA references page; correct number and types of sources; effective organization of information; grammar, spelling, vocabulary, and format Purpose of assignment: To raise awareness of sociocultural factors that influence the quality and distribution of leisure activity and recreation in our lives. Instructions: 1) Create a time map of your daily activities over the course of a typical seven day week in your life. To create the time map, divide up each day of the week into twenty-four one-hour units. Record what you do in each of the hourly units. At the end of the process, you will have an hour-by-hour record of what you did on each day of the week. The format of your time map is left open, but it must have your name on it and be neat, legible and word-processed on 8.5 x 11” sheets of paper (same size pages as the essay). 2) Write a seven-page essay in which you critically analyze your time map, paying particular attention towards time for leisure and recreation (broadly defined). In the body of your essay, begin by summarizing briefly what you believe your time map tells you about your life in general. Next, drawing on information from your research sources (see step 3 below), describe and critically discuss the activities that comprise your leisure and recreation. What dominant sociocultural factors (e.g. social, political, economic and/or environmental) facilitate or constrain your leisure and recreation and how? Finally, write a short introductory paragraph in which you briefly introduce the essay topic and state your thesis (in a sentence or two) about which dominant sociocultural factors constrain or facilitate your leisure and recreational activities, and a short conclusion paragraph in which you emphasize what you believe to be the most important points in the essay. Place the introductory paragraph before the body of the essay and the conclusion paragraph after the body of the essay. The introductory paragraph and conclusion paragraph taken together should make up no more than about one page of the essay. 3) Conduct research to locate six academic sources (two books, two journal articles, and two government sources) that you believe help you to critically discuss your time map (see step 2 above). Loosely paraphrase relevant information from your sources (no direct quotations or close paraphrase allowed) and provide APA in-text citations for the paraphrased information. Provide full bibliographic details of your six sources in an APA references list at the end of the essay. The references list must begin on page eight and not exceed one page double-spaced. If you are unsure about how to conduct research or about how to do APA citations and references, consult your Critical Skills Manual, which came as part of your KINE1000 course kit. 4) Complete the title page (see sample in the Course Outline) and then place the title page at the front of the essay, your time map at the back of the essay and then staple the whole together in the top left corner (no paperclips, bull clips, folders or scrunched up corners allowed). Hand in at lecture on the due date. Also submit an electronic copy of your essay to Turnitin by the due date.

Be sure to follow the Mandatory Format Requirements for all written assignments.

Tutorial Attendance and Participation Worth: 10% of final grade Length of Attendance and Participation: Twenty-four weekly tutorials spread over the fall and winter terms 2012/13, beginning in the week of September 10th, 2012. Grading criteria for Attendance: Attendance will be recorded at every tutorial. Full attendance at all twenty-four tutorials is worth a maximum of half of the 10%. Non-attendance at tutorials will result in a lower attendance grade, determined by the number of tutorials missed. Please note that deducted marks for non-attendance can only be appealed by providing official medical or legal documentation. The deadline for such documentation is Monday, December 3rd, 2012 for the fall term, and Monday, April 8th, 2013 for the winter term. This documentation must be handed to your TL by the deadline. Grading criteria for Participation: Sustained, knowledgeable contributions to discussion over the twenty-four tutorials are worth a maximum of half of the 10%. At the end of the course, your tutorial leader will determine your mark, based on their judgment of the quality of your overall contribution. Note that your participation mark cannot be argued or appealed. Instructions: Tutorials are regarded as very much part of the learning process and as an essential ingredient of your degree-level education. Deep understanding comes from being able to talk with ease about ideas, concepts, theories, and arguments from the course. Tutorials offer you the chance to learn how to articulate ideas with precision and so develop your understanding of course readings, to learn how to listen carefully to other points of view, and to learn how to think critically and make considered responses. Not only are these skills essential to developing a genuine understanding of the course, but they are essential to being an active and engaged citizen as a practitioner in a kinesiology-related career field. For all these reasons, attendance at tutorial is mandatory. Ensure that you know which section you are in (A or B) and your tutorial number, time, and location (these details are in your registration documentation). Arrive at tutorials punctually. In order to be able to participate in tutorial effectively, it is essential that you have read and thought about the assigned weekly reading/s before tutorial. If you come to tutorial without having done the reading, your comments will lack the degree of detail and precision expected. Although speaking up and talking will get you some sort of participation mark, York’s grading scheme applies, so the mark could be anything from an F to an A+. In other words, do not assume that you will get a great participation mark if you do a lot of talking at every tutorial. For the talk to have quality, you have to have done the reading and thought about it. Look at your timetable and assign yourself daily reading periods to help ensure that you have time to do the course readings each week before tutorials. If you are struggling with time-management, consult pages 20 to 26 of the Critical Skills Manual, which came as part of your KINE1000 course kit. Note: You will NOT be automatically informed of your attendance and participation mark by your tutorial leader. At the end of the course your TL will simply calculate your overall mark for attendance and participation and submit it for processing.
