HE ED 110 - Introduction to Personal Health and Well-Being

3 units (fi 6)(EITHER, 3-0-0)

An individual-based analysis of physical fitness and personal health and wellness. Emphasis is on planning and managing one's own lifestyle for health and well-being within the context of the current healthcare system. The student-centred, applied learning approach of the course will promote relevance and use of health information to personal context. Open to all students.

KIN 100 - Human Anatomy

3 units (fi 6)(EITHER, 3-0-2)

Introductory study of human anatomy. Students learn structural and functional components of selected systems of the human body. Note: Credit will be granted for only one of KIN 100 or PEDS 100.

KIN 101 - Introduction to Human Physiology

3 units (fi 6)(EITHER, 3-0-0)

An introduction to human physiology from the cellular to systemic level with special emphasis on systems that adapt to exercise stress. Note: Credit will be granted for only one of KIN 101 or PEDS 101.

KIN 436 - Applied Endurance Training

3 units (fi 6)(EITHER, 1.5-1.5L-0)

Students will learn how to develop and implement effective endurance training programming for a wide range of individuals through experiential learning opportunities. Further, students will work across sport science disciplines to explore how a range of theoretical concepts interact and intersect to produce quality endurance sport performances. Prerequisite: KIN 335.

KRLS 391 - In Field, Practice-Based, Learning - Research Skills Development

3 units (fi 6)(VAR, VARIABLE)

In this micro field placement (variable; ~4 hrs/ week or ~60 hrs/term) research experience based course, students will work in the research labs and/or on the research projects of KSR faculty members. Students will work to develop and practice the various aspects of the research process including data collection/analysis, literature searches, manuscript writing, effective presentation skills, both written and oral/visual communication skills, ethical behaviour consistent with the responsible conduct of research and professional practice in working within the research process, etc. In addition to hands-on work in the research environment, the course will also include a seminar series covering research topics and methods typically used in the Faculty of KSR, and the Kinesiology, Sport, and Recreation Fields. Notes: Classroom/tutorial sessions are variable per week in addition to micro in field learning experiences scheduled for each iteration of the course. Normally completed over one term. Prerequisite: Successful completion of KRLS 291.

KRLS 392 - In Field, Practice-Based, Learning - Interdisciplinary Projects

3 units (fi 6)(VAR, VARIABLE)

In this project, micro field placement (variable; ~1-4 hrs/ week or ~15-60 hrs/term) based course, students will work in small interdisciplinary teams to analyze a complex problem and propose a community led initiative to address a real-world issue and context. Students will apply theoretical knowledge and collaborate with community partners to address practical challenges. Students will present their practical understanding showcasing their ideas, designs of implementation and evaluation strategies with the community partner. Students will be asked to draw connections between their theoretical course learnings and the practical application of skills through discussion of proposed solutions with the community partner, team members, and other course participants. With the support of the Course Instructor, Faculty Experiential Lead, and Community Partners, students will visualize, identify, and articulate how the practical application of their knowledge altered their self-efficacy in the competency areas required of the experience. Notes: Classroom/tutorial sessions are variable per week in addition to micro in field learning experiences scheduled for each iteration of the course. Prerequisite: Successful completion of KRLS 291.

KRLS 492 - In Field, Practice-Based, Learning - Comprehensive Micro Field Experience

3 units (fi 6)(VAR, VARIABLE)

Students will participate in a singular, comprehensive, high-density, micro learning (variable; ~ 4 hrs/ week or ~60 hrs/term), In Field Learning placement with an assigned mentor. During this intensive in the field learning experience, students will become fully integrated into the work of their assigned Field Placement that will provide students with an intensive short term, hands-on practical experience in a setting relevant to their subject of study and lead to relatively independent work by the completion of the placement. Students will work towards contributing to their assigned field placement's capacity, critically assessing issues, designing, implementing and evaluating strategic initiatives, while at the same time gaining confidence and skills as a practicing professional under the direction of the course instructor and the placement mentor. Students will report back to the course instructor regularly i). proposed ideas and plans for work appropriate to the working environment that aligns with the settings mission, values, and workflow; ii). information collected and resources utilized that were needed to assess and complete work functions; iii) evaluation of what skill sets are required to complete work functions, and iv). judgements on whether their current skill set meets the identified work functions. Notes: Normally for students in their fourth year of study. Classroom/tutorial sessions are variable per week in addition to the micro in field learning experience. May be taken concurrently with KRLS 493. Prerequisite: Successful completion of KRLS 291.

KRLS 493 - In Field, Practice-Based, Learning - Comprehensive Macro Field Experience

6 units (fi 12)(VAR, VARIABLE)

Students will participate in a singular, comprehensive, high -density, macro (variable; ~8 -12 hrs/week or ~120 -180 hrs/term), In Field Learning placement with an assigned mentor. During this intensive in the field learning experience, students will become fully integrated into the work of their assigned Field Placement that will provide students with an intensive short term hands-on practical experience in a setting relevant to their subject of study and lead to relatively independent work by the completion of the placement. Students will work towards contributing to their assigned field placement's capacity, critically assessing issues, designing, implementing, and evaluating strategic initiatives, while at the same time gaining confidence and skills as a practicing professional under the direction of the course instructor and the placement mentor.

Notes: Normally for students in their fourth year of study. Classroom/tutorial sessions are variable per week in addition to the macro in field learning experience. May be taken concurrently with KRLS 492. Prerequisite: Successful completion of KRLS 291.
