1. Content and Broader Curriculum: This course is designed to be part two of an EXS

major’s capstone research project. It allows students to exercise stewardship over their

own projects and to act with integrity as they discover knowledge through inquiry and

analysis. Projects must also be effectively communicated in writing and orally upon

completion. Research demonstrates how discovering knowledge is a service to others.

2. Expected proficiencies required in order to take the course: Statistics, writing, public

speaking, and CANVAS proficiency to submit, respond, and interact with instructor and

students.

3. Listing of related program learning outcomes (PLO). A full description of all PLOs can

be found below in section VI under the Alignment Matrix and/by using the link

probability, sampling, parametric v nonparametric, correlational, regression, t-

tests, ANOVA testing Chi-square, etc…)

vi. Student learners will understand best practice for measurements of variables to

ensure validity and reliability by collecting their own proposed research (e.g.,

objective vs subjective measurements, standard scores, rating scores, etc…)

vii. Student learners will select, conduct, and explain appropriate statistical tests

within research designs

viii. Student learners will effectively communicate their research projects in writing

and orally

Graduation

X. Course Policies

1. Appeal procedures: If there are any concerns or questions about grading procedures or

grades earned, there is an open door policy to discuss such matters with the instructor.

2. All graded exams, assignments, and project due dates are final. No make-ups will be

accepted unless previously coordinated with the instructor. Appeals for late acceptance

may be considered in the case of an emergency or other related circumstance if

communication with the instructor is reasonably immediate after the emergency. Other

course work that is expected, but not graded, may be used to influence leadership points.

3. Attendance: As a leader, attendance is important and may be monitored. Please arrive

before the opening of class to avoid tardiness. Be prompt for class, participate fully (see

class participation below), and be prepared with the assignments for the day. This class

starts on time and being late disrupts the class for everyone. Violations of dress and

grooming standards (See Dress and Grooming Standards below) will be turned over to

the honor code if not corrected.

4. Class participation: Class participation is expected and demonstrates Leadership. Respect

your classmates and teacher by listening when they are talking. Silence cellphones and do

not use them in class unless asked to by the instructor. A successful student is prepared to

learn, engages in class discussions, asks questions, goes beyond the minimum assignment

and has good self-discipline.

5. Plagiarism: All plagiarism will be submitted to the honor code office and will result in

zero credit. See https://honorcode.byuh.edu/content/academic-honesty for definition and

explanation of plagiarism (See University Policies below)

6. Support Services: Learn more about the following University support services to enhance

your learning.

i. Library: https://library.byuh.edu/library

ii. Computer terminal availability: http://labs.byuh.edu/

iii. Reading and Writing Center: http://readingwritingcenter.byuh.edu/

iv. Counseling Services: https://counseling.byuh.edu/

Prepare Assignments:

i. Weekly Accounting Calendar. The purpose of the assignments is to maintain pace

throughout the course and prepare for data analysis and the final manuscript.

Create a calendar with your goals of how/when you will complete your project

during the semester. This calendar must include but is not limited to days for

data collection, analysis, writing results, creating tables & figures, writing

discussion, reviewing your full manuscript, presentation planning, submitting

ppt and manuscript, presenting, revisions, turn in final bound manuscript.

Update your calendar weekly.

ii. Tests. The purpose of these tests is to prepare you for your data collection,

analysis, oral presentation and written manuscript. Test topics may include

1. Data analysis

2. Excel file and Codebook

3. Tables and Figures

4. Abstract

5. Oral Presentation and Written Manuscript

Engage Assignments:

i. Final Data Excel file & Codebook. The purpose of this assignment is to turn in

your data set for any questioning or reanalysis required for your study. Submit

a codebook and data excel file. Excel sheet with multiple tabs is required. You

may organize your data in multiple ways, using multiple tabs, but all data

should be organized appropriately with one tab being a codebook.

ii. Consent forms/hard data forms. Physical consent and hard data forms must

remain on file to be reviewed upon request by the Institution. Turn in any

physical consent forms or physical data collection sheets/forms. If all consent

forms were electronic (e.g., survey data), write a note in Canvas in this

assignment explaining such.

iii. Oral Presentation. You will be evaluated based on the University’s oral

communication rubric which can be found using the link below. It covers the

areas of content, language use, and delivery. A presentation arranged with the

instructor at the university, college, or department level is required.

mmunicationRubric%2012-16-2015%20%282%29.pdf

Improve Assignments:

i. Final Electronic and Bound Manuscript Submissions. You may improve any part

of your manuscript throughout the semester. After the presentation you will

receive some feedback and need to improve your presentation and manuscript

material. Make the corrections and any other corrections you find. Review the

checklist. Manuscript preparation must be submitted in .doc or .docx format in

Canvas for turnitin screening. Use the course template for formatting. This is

similar to preparation guidelines for the International Journal of Exercise

Science Guidelines http://digitalcommons.wku.edu/ijes/styleguide.html with

minor changes. Submit all of the following as one bound manuscript and

electronically on Canvas (will be multiple files)

1. Title Page and Overall Formatting
