Description
The broad goal of the course is to investigate processes, techniques and considerations in the planning, implementing and
evaluating physical education, sport and physical activity programs in both public and private agencies. Particular focus will
be placed on the comprehensive development of programs for a variety of populations, with a range of ability, social,
economic and life circumstances. Emphasis will be placed on the challenges of meeting individual and organizational
program goals and objectives, financial and budgetary constraints, and designing and implementing programs within broader
community development strategies.

Objectives
Students will:
1. Understand the components, considerations, implementation and evaluation of physical education, sport, and
exercise programs
2. Be able to design a comprehensive sport or physical activity program for a specific population with considerations in
program planning concepts including needs assessment, marketing, budgeting, human resource management, risk
management and program evaluation
3. Develop problem solving skills required to meet the challenges faced in physical activity program development and
implementation.

Required Reading
There is not a required textbook for the course, however, there will be a series of references on Connect;
http://elearning.ubc.ca/connect/
Students will be responsible for having access to these notes.

Lectures and Readings

Although the weekly lectures will be related to the references, the lectures are far more than an overview of the readings. In
many cases, in fact, the readings will act as a supplement to the lecture material. For this reason, attending lectures and
referring to the references are both crucial for success in the course. You will be tested on all lecture and reading material.
Course Grading

Major Project (due on the last day) 30%

Each student will:
1. Select a demographic group that you want to plan a program for;
2. Design a program;
3. Select a delivery system;
4. Develop a strategic plan for delivery
a. Staffing
b. Resources
c. Risk management plan
d. Budget
e. Marketing
f. Evaluation

The different segments of the project will be handed in for progressive assessment. The final project will be in a manual
format. Detailed project expectations will be discussed in class during the discussion segments. The paper is to be 15-30
pages (including references), typed and 1.5 spaced and must have 12 point font, one inch margins, and APA referencing. In
addition, the paper must have a title page (not included in the page limits). No handwritten papers, faxed papers or email
attachments will be accepted. For help with APA referencing, please see the following website:

th
The paper is due the last day of class November 30 , 2016

Class Participation 10%

Five of the thirteen classes will include a group discussion, problem solving, and group dynamic exercises. Each of these
sessions will include a worksheet or evaluation. Students will be given credit for participation and completing the worksheet/
evaluation in these sessions.

Presentation 15%
During the 4 final classes of the course, students will pitch their program to the class. The presentation will include 2
documents. One will be in media format; video clip, power point, webpage, etc and the other will be in a hard copy format; a
newsletter, a flier, a post card etc. Each presenter will have up to 2 minutes for the visual presentation. Marks will be based
on organization of material, originality of presentation, timing, and presentation style.

Quizzes (3/4) up to 5% bonus marks

There will be regular random quizzes during the course. The quizzes will be based on definitions and concepts presented in
the lecture material. Making up quizzes will not be possible.

Mid Term Examination 15%

th
Thirty minutes of the class on October 26 will be dedicated to a conceptual mid term examination.

Final Accumulative Examination 30%

Date to be announced during the December examination period

Other Issues
1. The Project is to be submitted in class on the day it is due. Late assignments will be accepted with a 10% per day
penalty.

2. Students are expected to attend every class in order to demonstrate active course interest and participation. Students
who know in advance that they will be unavoidably absent, will be responsible for getting the notes missed from other
students.

3. Students who miss the final examination MUST apply to the Undergraduate Advising Office at the earliest possible
date to request consideration for Academic Concession. Students will be asked to complete an Academic
Concession Form and provide supportive documentation. Academic Concession is a privilege, not a right, and can be
granted only by the Undergraduate Advising Office.

4. Students whose attendance or performance may be severely affected by medical, emotional, or other disabilities,
should consult with the instructor early in the term (or as soon as possible) to discuss any special accommodations
that might be needed in order to complete course requirements. Supportive documentation from either the Disability
Resources Centre or a physician must be submitted to the Undergraduate Advising Office.

NOTE: All evaluation components must be completed successfully to complete the course.
