List new courses required for
the new or revised curriculum. How do they support the overall program
objectives of the major/minor/concentrations)?
(Be aware that approval
of the curriculum is dependent upon these courses successfully passing through
the Course Challenge list. If there are no new courses enter None)
HESC309, Pre-Clinical Anatomy and Physiology I
This course will provide the necessary background
knowledge in human anatomy and physiology for student understanding of the
principles of strength and conditioning.
Explain, when appropriate,
how this new/revised curriculum supports the 10 goals of undergraduate
education: http://www.ugs.udel.edu/gened/
This curriculum reinforces goal 7, Develop the ability
to integrate academic knowledge with experiences that extend the boundaries of
the classroom.
Identify other units affected
by the proposed changes:
(Attach permission from the affected units. If no other unit is affected, enter None) NONE
Describe the rationale for
the proposed program change(s):
(Explain your reasons for creating, revising, or deleting the
curriculum or program.)
The proposed changes are:
1)
To
replace HESC310, Pre-Clinical Anatomy and Physiology, with HESC309,
Pre-Clinical Anatomy and Physiology I, and
2)
To move (HESC430 or HESC433 plus HESC431) from
the category of pre-requisite courses to required courses.
3)
To
incorporate the proposed revisions to HESC432 in course title and reduction of
credits from 4 to 3.
Rationale:
1)
The
existing HESC310, Pre-Clinical Anatomy and Physiology, is being expanded into
two courses, HESC309, Pre-Clinical Anatomy and Physiology I and HESC310, Pre-Clinnical Anatomy and Physiology II. The content of HESC309
provides the necessary prerequisite background for the Strength and
Conditioning minor.
2)
These
courses currently serve as prerequisites for HESC432. A proposed revision of
HESC432 is eliminating these courses as prerequisites. Because the content of
these courses (HESC430 or HESC433, plus HESC431) is deemed essential for the
Strength and Conditioning minor, these courses are being added to the minor
requirements.
3)
These
revisions to HESC432 are currently proposed. The rationale is that course
content is being shifted away from the mechanics of exercise prescription and
toward the behavioral aspects of exercise.
