This new course is introduced as described in FAS UCC Paper 2003-17.
Rationale: Tom Richardson who originally designed and taught this specialty course passed away in March 1997. The course has been taught two other times by Charles Krieger who was hired to replace Dr. Richardson. Ten students were enrolled in the course in 2000-1 and 6 students in 2001-1. The course hasn’t been offered since the 2001-1 semester. Charles Krieger now has his own specialty course - KIN 446.
| Current | Proposed | |

| KIN 105 | This course will provide students with basic physiology of the nervous system, and muscle, endocrine system, cardiorespiratory system, kidney and gastrointestinal system. (distance education) Kinesiology majors and honors students may not receive credit for KIN 105. Recommended: grade 11 biology, chemistry and physics. |
Basic anatomy and physiology of the skeletal, muscular, nervous, endocrine, cardio-respiratory, urinary, digestive, immune, and reproductive systems. (distance education) Kinesiology majors and honors students may not receive credit for KIN 105. Recommended: grade 11 biology, chemistry and physics. |
| KIN 301 | This laboratory course covers the quantitative biomechanical evaluation of human movement. Analysis techniques for quantifying motion of body segments in athletes, normal populations and special populations will be included. Experiments will measure force production in whole body activities such as walking and jumping. Experiments will also look at the nature of muscular force generation and the mechanical properties of the musculoskeletal system. Prerequisite: PHYS 130 or 131, KIN 201. |
A laboratory course on the quantitative biomechanical evaluation of human movement. Students will learn analysis techniques for quantifying kinematics and kinetics of body segments in athletes, normal populations, and special populations during activities such as walking and jumping. Experiments will look at the nature of muscular force generation, and the mechanical impedance properties of the musculoskeletal system, as well as patterns of muscle activation, using surface EMG. Prerequisite: PHYS 130 or 131, KIN 201. |
| KIN 496 | Directed reading and literature research on topics selected in consultation with the supervising instructor. This course may not be repeated for additional credit. A student who has completed KIN 499 may not receive credit for KIN 496. A short proposal of the project, approved by the course supervisor, must be submitted for approval to the chair of the undergraduate program committee by the end of the first week of classes of the semester. Prerequisite: permission from the chair of the undergraduate program committee. Usually, upper level standing with at least 75 semester hours in the kinesiology program will be required. |

Prerequisite: permission from the chair of the undergraduate program committee. Usually, upper level standing with at least 75 semester hours in the kinesiology program will be required. Honors students may count only one of either KIN 496 or KIN 498 towards their 27 upper division Kinesiology elective credits. |
| KIN 498 | Directed study and research selected in consultation with the supervising instructor. A short proposal of the project approved by the course supervisor must be submitted for approval to the chair of the undergraduate program committee by the end of the first week of classes of the semester. Prerequisite: STAT 201 and permission from the chair of the undergraduate program committee. Usually, upper level standing with at least 75 semester hours in the kinesiology program will be required. Students with credit for KIN 497 may not take KIN 498 for further credit. Honors students may not take KIN 498 for credit. |

KIN 105: The addition of the words anatomy and physiology better reflects the course title. The remainder of the first sentence has also been rewritten to more accurately describe the current course content. The study guide for the course is going to be re-written and a new textbook is going to be chosen. The current textbook is outdated and contains a number of errors. There is a much broader selection of introductory anatomy/physiology textbooks as compared to introductory physiology textbooks.
KIN 301: The proposed new Calendar description more accurately reflects what is currently being covered in KIN 301.
KIN 496 and 498:Currently Kinesiology honors students aren't allowed to take KIN 498 for credit, and they aren't allowed to take KIN 496 for credit if they have already received credit for KIN 499. They can count only three credits of directed studies courses in their 27 upper division Kinesiology elective credits. KinesiologyMajors can count 6 credits of directed studies courses in their 27 upper division Kinesiology elective credits out of the total of 120 credits required for their BSc degrees. Thus, honors students should be also able to count 6 credits of directed studies courses in their 27 upper division Kinesiology elective credits --- KIN 497 plus either 496 or 498: 114 credits plus 6 credits = 120 credits, plus 12 credits for KIN499 = 132 credits. If an honors student wanted to take both Kin 496 and 498, then 3 of those credits couldn't count towards the 27 upper division Kinesiology elective credits, but could count towards the 132 credits required for their honors degree.
The Honors program as described on page 137 in the 2003/2004 Calendar is proposed to be revised as follows..
| Current | Proposed |
|---|---|
Graduation RequirementsTo graduate with honors, the student must successfully complete

Note: Honors students may count only one of either KIN 496 or KIN 498 towards their 27 upper division elective Kinesiology credits.

The addition of this sentence is necessary given the course description changes for KIN 496 and 498 shown in #4 above. The statement on graduating GPA requirements is updated in accord with SFU requirements.
| Course | Current | Proposed |
|---|---|---|
| KIN 303 | KIN 142 and STAT 201 |
KIN 105 or 142, and STAT 201 or an equivalent statistics course |
| KIN 336 | KIN 326 or permission of the instructor |
KIN 325 or KIN 326 or BISC 316 |
| KIN 426 | KIN 326 |
KIN 325 or KIN 326 or PSYC 280 |
KIN 303: This change will make KIN 303 more accessible to Nutrition Certificate students.
KIN 336: Adding BISC 316 as a prerequisite will make this course accessible to Biological Sciences students.
KIN 426: The purpose of this pre-requisite change is to make the course more appealing to a broader range of students and thus to increase the enrolment.
| Course | Current | Proposed |
|---|---|---|
| KIN 336 | Microscopic Anatomy (Histology) |
Histology |
Rationale: The intent is to communicate to prospective enrolees that KIN 336 has changed and that the volume of material in the revised course is less than the current KIN 336. The purpose of this Calendar change and the pre-requisite change shown above is to make the course more appealing to a broader range of students and thus to increase the enrolment.
The following revisions are proposed to add KIN 143 to the list of elective courses for the certificate and to correct an error in citing the course title for KIN 340.
Rationale: the addition of KIN 143 will allow the requirements for the Certificate to be completed in eight courses, without hidden prerequisites. The course title for KIN 340 is incorrect in the 2003/2004 Calendar. It was mistakenly given the same course title as KIN 430.
