These TAs participate in an orientation session prior to the beginning of the fall semester. Training is an ongoing service provided through regular meetings. In addition, TAs are evaluated on a regular basis. Students are encouraged to experience new activities rather than to pursue advanced sections of the same activities. Students who take these courses earn elective hours only.
Attendance is required and included in grading.
Most other activities are offered on a more or less continuous basis but are dependent upon the availability of facilities and instructional expertise. Students who have first taken a more advanced level of a skills class may not enroll in a more elementary class in that activity. Students who do so are charged with regression. This semester-long course includes one lecture and one discussion section per week. The purpose of the class is to teach individuals how to take control of their personal health habits to insure a better, healthier, happier, and more productive life.
