This course is designed to provide students with an understanding <strong>of</strong> the scientific <strong>analysis</strong> <strong>of</strong> human <strong>movement</strong>. We will<br />
examine the physiological, structural, and mechanical bases for human <strong>movement</strong>, with examples drawn from every day life,<br />
sports, and rehabilitation. Laboratory sessions will deal with theoretical and applied aspects <strong>of</strong> selected mechanical concepts.<br />
Lectures will concentrate on a scientific approach to the mechanisms underlying human <strong>movement</strong>.<br />
COURSE TEXTBOOK & LAB MANUAL (BOTH REQUIRED):<br />
Biomechanical Basis <strong>of</strong> Human Movement, 2 nd Ed., J. Hamill & K.M. Knutzen. Lippincott Williams & Wil<strong>kin</strong>s, 2003.<br />
Kin <strong>326k</strong> Laboratory Manual: Available for purchase from Speedway Printing (in the Dobie Mall, 478-3334).<br />
COURSE PREREQUISITES:<br />
• KIN 324K (Human Anatomy): In this course, we will apply mechanical principles <strong>of</strong> human <strong>movement</strong> to real-life<br />
situations. This requires a thorough knowledge <strong>of</strong> the structure <strong>of</strong> the musculoskeletal system.<br />
• Physics 302K & 102M (Required): This course will focus mainly on the mechanical principles <strong>of</strong> physics that<br />
govern how things move and the forces that cause those things to move, and will apply these principles to<br />
<strong>movement</strong>s <strong>of</strong> the human body. Prior introduction to the basic principles <strong>of</strong> mechanics is extremely helpful.<br />
• Math 305G (Required) or Calculus (Recommended): <strong>The</strong> principles <strong>of</strong> physics we will be applying in this class<br />
rely heavily on a thorough knowledge <strong>of</strong> basic algebra and trigonometry. You are expected to know these topics as<br />
they will not be covered in class. We will do a small amount <strong>of</strong> calculus, which we will cover in class.<br />
• Students without adequate preparation in these subject areas should consult with the instructor about remedial steps<br />
and alternative courses or postponing enrollment in this course. If you encounter difficulty with aspects <strong>of</strong> this<br />
course (such as mathematical calculations) should consult the UT Learning Center (Jester A332 -- 471-3614).<br />
• Students should also own a calculator with trigonometric functions (sine, cosine, tangent). <strong>The</strong>se can be purchased<br />
for about $5 - $10 at most any bookstore, discount store, etc. (My favorite = Texas Instruments TI-30X IIS Solar).<br />
GRADING AND EVALUATION:<br />
• Homeworks: <strong>The</strong>re will be 7 sets <strong>of</strong> homework problems worth 20 points each, due approximately every 2 weeks.<br />
• Labs: <strong>The</strong>re will be 14 lab assignments worth 20 points each. Laboratory reports will generally be due one week<br />
after completing each lab. Attendance at all labs is required!! Attendance will be taken at each lab session.<br />
• Homework and lab assignments will not be accepted late, without documented justifiable cause (e.g. doctor’s note).<br />
• Exams: <strong>The</strong>re will be two in-class exams will cover lecture, textbook, and laboratory materials. <strong>The</strong>se two exams<br />
will be worth 160 points each, but will include additional “extra credit” points as well (typically about 10 points).<br />
• Final Exam: A comprehensive final exam will review and synthesize material from all parts <strong>of</strong> the course. <strong>The</strong> final<br />
exam will be worth 260 points, but will include additional “extra credit” points as well.<br />
• Final grades will be assigned according to a strict point system (there will be NO “curve”) as follows:<br />
Task: Total Points Grading Scale:<br />
Homework Assignments (7 @ 20 pts. ea.): 140 A: 900 - 1000 Pts.<br />
Laboratory Assignments (13 @ 20 pts. ea.): 260 B: 800 - 899 Pts.<br />
In-Class Exams (2 @ 165 pts. ea.): 330 C: 700 - 799 Pts.<br />
Comprehensive Final Exam (270 pts.): 270 D: 600 - 699 Pts.<br />
TOTAL: 1000 F: < 600 Pts.

RULES FOR TURNING IN WRITTEN ASSIGNMENTS (HOMEWORKS AND LABS):<br />
• Write neatly and legibly!! -- If we can’t read it… We won’t grade it!!<br />
• Do NOT turn in scratch paper!! -- Re-write your solutions legibly if you need to.<br />
• Write on clean paper!! -- No frilly torn out edges... Use clean notebook paper<br />
• Write on the FRONT side <strong>of</strong> the paper ONLY!! -- I won’t grade anything written on the back side.<br />
• Draw boxes or circles around your answers!! -- <strong>The</strong> harder I have to search for it… the lower your grade!!<br />
• You must STAPLE your assignments before handing them in!! -- No un-stapled assignments will be accepted!!<br />
NOT FOLLOWING THESE RULES COULD COST YOU UP TO 20% OF THE POINTS FOR EACH ASSIGNMENT !!!<br />
COURSE WEBPAGE:<br />
This course will use the BlackBoard web-based course s<strong>of</strong>tware. To access BlackBoard, go to http://courses.utexas.edu<br />
and enter your UT-EID. Upon entering, you will see a list <strong>of</strong> courses you are enrolled in. Click on KIN <strong>326k</strong> to access<br />
this course’s website. Lecture notes, laboratory and homework assignments will be made available through this website.<br />
Documents will be posted in Adobe Acrobat (PDF) format, so the computer you use must have Acrobat Reader installed<br />
(available at http://www.adobe.com/ for free). Acrobat Reader is already installed on most <strong>University</strong> computers<br />
(libraries, BEL 844, etc).<br />
To print documents downloaded from Blackboard (such as lab and homework assignments!), you need an IF Account!!<br />
To set up an IF account, go to http://www.utexas.edu/its/account/steps/ and follow the instructions provided. You must<br />
bring a paper copy <strong>of</strong> the lab assignment to each lab, or you will not be allowed to do the lab!<br />
NOTICE TO STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES:<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> Texas at Austin provides upon request appropriate academic accommodations for qualified students<br />
with disabilities. To determine if you qualify, please contact the Dean <strong>of</strong> Students at 471-6259, 471-4641 TTY. If they<br />
certify your needs, I will work with you make all <strong>of</strong> the appropriate arrangements.<br />
NOTICE REGARDING MISSED WORK DUE TO RELIGIOUS HOLY DAYS:<br />
Any student who misses an examination, work assignment, or other project due to the observance <strong>of</strong> a religious holy day<br />
will be given the opportunity to complete the work missed within a reasonable time after the absence, provided that he or<br />
she has properly notified the instructor. It is the policy <strong>of</strong> the <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> Texas at Austin that the student must notify<br />
the instructor at least fourteen days prior to the classes scheduled on dates that he or she will be absent to observe a<br />
religious holy day. For religious holy days that fall within the first two weeks <strong>of</strong> the semester, the notice should be given<br />
on the first day <strong>of</strong> the semester. <strong>The</strong> student will not be penalized for these excused absences, but the instructor may<br />
appropriately respond if the student fails to complete satisfactorily the missed assignment or examination within a<br />
reasonable time after the excused absence.<br />
POLICY REGARDING SCHOLASTIC DISHONESTY:<br />
Students who violate <strong>University</strong> rules on scholastic dishonesty are subject to disciplinary penalties, including the<br />
possible failure in the course and/or dismissal from <strong>The</strong> <strong>University</strong>. Since such dishonesty harms the individual, all<br />
students, and the integrity <strong>of</strong> <strong>The</strong> <strong>University</strong>, policies on scholastic dishonesty will be strictly enforced. For more details<br />
