PHYS 2800 — Special Project 1-3 Credit Hours
Special project courses in physical education cover topics not otherwise covered by general education courses and other courses in the Catalog for the Physical Education discipline, while building upon academic knowledge and skills acquired in introductory-level Physical Education classes. These courses require direct experience and focused reflection in an in-depth study of a specific physical education topic and/or the critical analysis of contemporary issues in physical education. They are targeted to self-selected students with an interest in the subject matter and involve active participation. The course delivery incorporates an experiential component of no less than 50 percent but not to exceed 75 percent. This experiential component may include field studies, interdisciplinary learning, and/or the practical application of more complex physical education concepts, theories, principles and methods with a specific focus. All courses require an orientation session to deliver academic and experiential information (syllabus, academic requirements, field preparation, logistics, etc.)
