Course Description This Internship Course (the “KINternship”) is designed to be a culminating experience for students who will graduate with a Major in Kinesiology. Our hope for you during this virtual internship is that you will gain a practical experience in the Kinesiology domain, acquire skills and knowledge that could help with a potential career, and apply knowledge that you have learned throughout your undergraduate degree in a practical setting. We are pleased and excited to have each Kinesiology Major represent the Kinesiology Department, the College of Education, and MSU at your respective internship sites. You are required to earn a minimum of 3 internship credits for successful completion of your undergraduate program in Kinesiology. The number of credits must correspond to the appropriate number of hours that you will be working virtually from the internship site (45 hours of work for every credit).

Enrollment (Add/Drop Dates)
There are no exceptions to the following: the add/drop dates for KIN 492/493 are the same as
for any course at MSU. These are set by the university and always described on the Registrar’s
website. You are responsible for knowing these dates. You cannot late add or late drop KIN
492/493. If you do not add/drop the course by the official dates you will get no refund and/or
you will receive a 0.0, and you will not be able to graduate.
Part 2: Course Organization & Delivery
This course is delivered online and asynchronous, without common meeting times regularly
required. However, timelines will be essential for the proper function of this course, so you must
meet those timelines outlined in the schedule. If factors outside your control will prevent you
from completing an assignment on time, contact me immediately and before the deadline so we
can determine if an alternate plan is feasible.
Course Requirements
• Internet connection (DSL, LAN, or cable connection desirable).
• Need to back-up all work using a cloud-based service (Google Drive for MSU, or other
similar service). Tech failure is not a valid excuse for missed deadlines.

videoconference
Michigan State University Page 2Communication D2L Course Announcements and Schedule We will make regular course announcements through D2L, which will be the primary method of communicating course news and reminders. Subscribe to course announcements by clicking the dropdown arrow next to Announcements, selecting Notifications, as shown in Figure 1. Figure 1 – Location of the announcements drop-down menu on the D2L course page. Then, configure Announcements options for email (as shown in Figure 2 – you will need to scroll down after you have selected Notifications to get to this information). That way, you will get an email each time I post a new announcement. You can select SMS if you want a text-message each time I post a new announcement. You can also select notifications for other options, but you might get too many emails that way. Figure 2 – Checked-boxes to receive notifications of course announcements by email. SMS (text) options are also available. E-mail Email is the default mode of communication in this course. You must check your MSU email daily throughout the workweek for important correspondence. You should set your D2L mail account to forward to your MSU email account if you have not done that already. The primary and preferred method of communicating with Keri, Yuemei, and David is through e-mail. We will be responsive to email Monday-Friday 9am-5pm. Email sent on the weekend may not get a response until Monday. Otherwise, expect an email response within a 24-48 hour window. Michigan State University Page 3

Part 5: Grading Policy
Graded Course Activities
Grading of Weekly Assignment:
Since you are working remotely as a requirement of your redesigned experience, you must
submit your hours to your site supervisor each week for verification in addition to the Weekly
Assignments to us through D2L.
Submitting hours to Site Supervisor:
You can do this by emailing your site supervisor your Weekly Assignment with or without the
journal, or some other agreed upon mechanism (with your site supervisor) for reporting your
hours from a virtual space.
Every student in KIN 492/493 hands in a different amount of Weekly Assignments due to the
varied length of his/her internship. For example, one student may hand in 4 Weekly
Assignments, while another student hands in 10.
To figure out your grade on the Weekly Assignments at the end of the semester:
(Your Total Points on Weekly Assignments handed in / Total # of Weekly Assignments You Have
Completed for Your Internship) * 100 = # points out of 100 possible points. Therefore, taking the
example above, if the individual handed in 10 weekly assignments and got 9 points across those
10 weekly assignments, their score would be: (9/10) *100 = 90 points.
Michigan State University Page 7Proposal Assignment and Final Report:
These assignments will be graded according to their associated grading pages and rubrics. Please
see assignment instructions on D2L for further detail.
Evaluation Criteria
Your grade is a weighted average based on the following table:
*Please note we use the “% of Final Grade” in the chart below to calculate your final grade (not
the points). For example, if you get 92/100 points on your weekly assignments: 92/100 = 0.92
0.92 x 0.25 [25%] = 0.23; to get your percentage out of 25% 0.23 x 100% = 23%. Therefore,
you have a total of 23% out of 25% for Weekly Assignments.

Grading Scale
Your final grade in this course will be determined based on your overall weighted percentage.
The table below indicates the required percentage for each GPA:
GPA Percentage
4.0 93 – 100%
3.5 85 – 92%
3.0 80 – 84%
2.5 75 – 79%
2.0 70 – 74%
1.5 65 – 69%
1.0 60 – 64% (minimum required to graduate)
0.0TWO OR MORE WEEKS LATE: If you miss submitting a Weekly Assignment and it has been more than 1 week and hand it into a later Dropbox, you will receive no credit (0/1) for the assignment (even if it is the first missed assignment). However, if you get your site supervisor to verify your hours for the missed assignment (site supervisor should send email verifying the missed hours to the TA and instructors), you may still claim the hours worked and you will not have to “redo” the hours at your internship site, but you are still required to submit properly structured assignment for that week. NO HOURS TO REPORT: If you do not have any hours to report for any given week, you do not need to submit an assignment for that week. Proposal Assignment & Personal Objectives Scale: For every 24-hour period your assignment is late, 2 points will be deducted (even if 5 minutes late). As the Proposal Assignment & Personal Objectives Scale is the backbone of this course, if it is not completed properly you will be asked to redo the assignment. Final Report: For every 24-hour period your assignment is late, 5 points will be deducted (even if 5 minutes late). Viewing Grades Whenever possible, the following will apply to viewing your grades: Weekly Assignments: We will make every effort to grade the Weekly Assignments with feedback provided on D2L by Sunday at 5:00pm. Please be sure to read the comments each week on D2L as there may be important information regarding your assignment structure that you may need to modify for the following Weekly Assignment. Proposal Assignment & Personal Objectives Scale: We will make every effort to have grades and comments posted on D2L three weeks after the due date. Please revise the Proposal Assignment & Personal Objectives Scale according to the instructor’s comments as early as possible as you will need components of the Proposal Assignment at the midpoint of your hours for the revised Personal Objectives Scale and for the Final Report. Midterm & Final Performance Evaluations: Once your site supervisor has completed each of the evaluations, a copy of the evaluation will be sent automatically when the supervisor clicks “submit” (please ensure you provide your site supervisor with your correct email address) to you as the student, the instructors, and the supervisor. The grade will be transferred to D2L within a week of the instructors receiving the evaluations. Midterm Performance Evaluations should be completed as close to the midpoint of the student’s hours as possible, and the Final Performance Evaluations should be completed by the due date provided so that the student does not receive an “Incomplete” or a 0.0 in the course. Michigan State University Page 9
Final Report: Grades will be posted on D2L by the last day of the semester when grades are due. Part 6: Course Policies D2L Website / MSU Email This course will be using the D2L website and MSU email for all course information and communication. You can access the site by going to the following site https://d2l.msu.edu/. You will need your net ID and password to login. Students are responsible for checking both D2L and their MSU email at least every week to stay informed about class updates. Students can check their grades through D2L and are expected to notify the instructor of any discrepancies within a week so corrections can be made. Emails to the instructor and TA regarding the class will be responded to as soon as possible. You can expect email responses during the regular workday and work week (Monday-Friday 9am- 5pm), and we will do our best to respond to you as soon as possible within that time frame. When sending an email with questions regarding assignments, they should be sent with the aforementioned timelines in consideration (i.e., please do not expect a response Saturday/Sunday for an assignment that is due Monday; give us sufficient time to respond to your inquiry). Tardiness / Absence / Professionalism Treat your internship like you would a job. You are expected to arrive on time to your internship and to remain for the duration of your work hours. You are also expected to ask your site supervisor for permission to get time off for vacation, doctor’s appointments, etc. Time off will be at the discretion of your site supervisor. You should carry on professional conversations with colleagues and patients/patrons and abide by the rules of the site. Dismissed / Fired If you are dismissed/fired during your internship from your internship site, you will automatically receive a grade of 0.0. Dress Code Please ask your site supervisor for your site’s specific dress code policy and then abide by it. Financial Compensation Some internships may include some form of stipend or wage. However, this is not required by the Department of Kinesiology and is at the discretion of each site. Pre-Approval Required If you are planning to work more than 40 hours per week you must get pre-approval from the Internship Coordinator. Two Internship Sites Michigan State University Page 10
If you have been approved to take your internship at 2 sites, please email the Internship
Coordinator right away. In the email state which 2 internship sites you have been approved
for. I will email you back to let you know if you can do one Proposal Assignment and one
Final Report or if you will need to do two (one for each site). BOTH sites must provide a
Midpoint & Final Personal Objectives Scale and a Midterm & Final Performance Evaluation.
Commit to Integrity: Academic Honesty
The Kinesiology Department adheres to the regulations set out in the Student Rights and
Responsibilities, and adheres to the policies on academic honesty. (See also Spartan Life:
Student Handbook and Resource Guide and/or the MSU Web site: www.msu.edu.)
Therefore, unless authorized by your instructor, you are expected to complete all course
assignments, including homework, lab work, quizzes, tests and exams, without assistance from
any source. You are expected to develop original work for this course; therefore, you may not
submit course work you completed for another course to satisfy the requirements for this
course. Students who violate MSU academic integrity rules may receive a penalty grade,
including a failing grade on the assignment or in the course. Contact your instructor if you are
unsure about the appropriateness of your course work. (See also the Academic Integrity
webpage).
This course uses “Turnitin” software to check for originality of work. Please see the Turnitin
website for further detail.
The Spartan Code of Honor Academic Pledge
“As a Spartan, I will strive to uphold values of the highest ethical standard. I will practice honesty
in my work, foster honesty in my peers, and take pride in knowing that honor in ownership is
worth more than grades. I will carry these values beyond my time as a student at Michigan State
University, continuing the endeavor to build personal integrity in all that I do.”
Actions that may result in a 0.0 and/or an Academic Dishonesty Report
• The student cannot “research” graduate programs/requirements, job markets, and/or
salaries and claim it as internship hours.
• You may not log internship hours unless you are enrolled in KIN 492/493. Therefore, the
first day of the semester is the first day you may begin logging internship hours (or if you
late enroll in the class, the first day in which you are officially enrolled is the first day
you can start counting internship hours toward the class).
• The student may not claim drive time to or from the internship as internship hours.
• The student cannot study for a GRE or any other test and claim it as part of your
internship hours.
Michigan State University Page 11• If you wait until the last week of the semester to hand in your Weekly Assignments all at
once or you do not hand them in EVERY week you are actually working and claiming
hours, you may receive a 0.0 in KIN 492/493.
• If you do not finish all of your internship hours by the end of the semester, you may
receive a 0.0 in KIN 492/493.
• Getting dismissed/fired from your internship will result in an automatic 0.0 in the class.
• The student may not claim their lunch hour as part of your internship hours unless it is
required of their “job description” by your site supervisor. For example, if a student is a
camp counselor at a sports camp and are required to supervise the children during the
lunch hour then they may claim the lunch hour under the 20% rule (Approximately 80%
of your hours each week should be spent on Kinesiology-related tasks; only a maximum
of 20% of your hours per week should be spent on non-Kinesiology related tasks like
folding towels, cleaning, checking people in at a gym counter, etc.).
• The student cannot take a course at another university because it is a requirement for
graduate school and claim it as internship hours.
• The student cannot interview for jobs or work on their resume and claim it as internship
hours.
• The student cannot leave the internship site at 4:45pm and claim that they worked until
5:00pm.
• A student may not use any portion of another student’s work (from the current
semester or any previous semester) and claim it as their own (this is plagiarism). This
will result in a 0.0 and Academic Dishonesty Report.
• If we do not have a Proposal Assignment & Personal Objectives Scale for you uploaded
to D2L by the 4th week of your internship, you internship hours are no longer valid and
therefore you may receive a 0.0 in KIN 492/493.
• You may NOT falsify or “pad” your internship hours by claiming more hours than what
you actually worked. This information is tracked weekly by the TA. If there are any
discrepancies at the end of the semester between your hours and the record we have
for your hours, the information we have on file will stand, and therefore you will be
required to complete any additional hours before the end of the semester, and this
could result in a 0.0 or Academic Dishonesty issue. As such, retrospectively changing
weekly hour spreadsheets is not allowed.
• If the student’s recorded hours are discrepant from the site’s record of your hours,
this may result in a 0.0 for the class and be considered an Academic Dishonesty issue.
Michigan State University Page 12Limits to Confidentiality – Mandatory Reporting
Essays, journals, and other materials submitted for this class are generally considered
confidential pursuant to the University's student record policies. However, students should be
aware that University employees, including instructors, may not be able to maintain
confidentiality when it conflicts with their responsibility to report certain issues to protect the
health and safety of MSU community members and others. As the instructor, I must report the
following information to other University offices (including the Department of Police and Public
Safety) if you share it with me:
• Suspected child abuse/neglect, even if this maltreatment happened when you were a
child;
• Allegations of sexual assault or sexual harassment when they involve MSU students,
faculty, or staff, and;
• Credible threats of harm to oneself or to others.
These reports may trigger contact from a campus official who will want to talk with you about
the incident that you have shared. In almost all cases, it will be your decision whether you wish
to speak with that individual. If you would like to talk about these events in a more confidential
setting you are encouraged to make an appointment with the MSU Counseling Center.
Inform Your Instructor of Any Accommodations Needed
From the Resource Center for Persons with Disabilities (RCPD): Michigan State University is
