Important Note: This instructor is very specific with requirements. Please read the comments on www.ratemyprofessors.com and you will have a better idea. I want to be very upfront about what is expected! If you are using this course as your 12th hour for financial aid, be aware that if you do not complete the requirements, you will receive an F (which will affect your grade point) or a NP (which won't affect your grade point)--no exceptions!

1. You will not have access to any material in this course until 8am of the first day of the term, when Desire2Learn technicians load students into it. You must begin your fitness work during the first week.

3. By the end of the third week, complete the pre-fitness testing, health forms, discussions (2), continue the weekly fitness emails with attached Excel fitness logs (3xs a week for at least 60 min. per time) and other pertinent information discussed in the Start Here Section found after the Intro to Online Learning , in Locker Room #1, and in the Weekly Fitness Log Instructions.

4. If having problems with form submissions, etc., first and foremost check with the Help Desk for Desire2Learn. Waiting too long or not checking in may cause issues in continuing in the course. (See #5!)
