Rationale

MVS 110 consists of three conceptual modules (Biomechanics, Exercise Physiology & Motor Control) each taught by a different instructor. Each module is made up of twelve lectures and one exam. The students remain in the same course section (and classroom) for the entire semester, while the instructors rotate among the course sections. This current module will be an introduction to Biomechanics.

Course Assessment

Each module is worth 1/3 of the total grade. For this particular module, assessment will be based on:

Homeworks are due at the beginning of class, none will be accepted once the class has started. The final exam occurs on the last day of classes for the module.

Poorly presented homeworks (ex. messy) will NOT be accepted
