Each student will be required to exercise one hour a week and log their activity using an app such as Myfitnesspal.com, Runkeeper, Fitbit or record your exercise on the Activity Report Form. A number of appropriate apps are listed below. Choose one that can provide a record of your activity. If you do not have access to a smart phone or other tracking device you will need to use a pedometer to record steps, distance and heart rate. You have three options to submit a record of your activity for a grade.
Option #1- Once you set up a profile on the Nutriwellness website, access code and instructions are on the inside front cover of your lab manual, use the log exercise function to track your exercises for this activity hour that is required. Each week email the report of your exercises to the instructor. The subject line MUST read “PHED1338 Lab Hour” in order to receive credit.
Option #2- Download an app that helps you organize your exercise sessions. You can use Fitbit, Myfitnesspal, Runkeeper or any other similar app. Take a screenshot of your activity and e-mail to instructor. The subject line MUST read “PHED1338 Lab Hour” in order to receive credit.
Option #3 - Complete a hard copy of the weekly activity report and bring to the instructor during “Concepts Lab Hours” listed on the syllabus. This form will ask specifically for which activity you performed (cardiovascular, strength training, flexibility), exercise heart rate and length of time performed. Your instructor will sign the form each week.
These are a few of the fitness apps that are free and can be used to track your exercise:
Run Keeper
My Fitness Pal

Map My Fitness, Running, Walking
RunMeter Pro
Strava

Collin College Academic Policies:
7-2.2 Scholastic Dishonesty (from the 2016-2017 Student Handbook)
Every member of the Collin College community is expected to maintain the highest standards of academic integrity. All work submitted for credit is expected to be the student’s own work. Collin College may initiate disciplinary proceedings against a student accused of scholastic dishonesty. While specific examples are listed below, this is not an exhaustive list and scholastic dishonesty may encompass other conduct, including any conduct through electronic or computerized means. Scholastic dishonesty shall involve, but is not limited to, one or more of the following acts:
General Scholastic Dishonesty includes, but is not limited to, statements, acts, or omissions related to applications for enrollment, credit or class work, research, and/or the award of a degree; falsifying academic records; using annotated texts or teacher’s editions; using information about exams posted on the Internet or other electronic medium; leaving a test site without authority; failing to secure test materials; and/or submitting work that is not one’s own. Students are expected to record honestly and accurately the results of all their research. Falsification of research results shall include misrepresentations, distortions, or omissions in data or reports on research.
Plagiarism is the use of an author’s words or ideas as if they were one’s own without giving credit to the source, including, but not limited to, failure to acknowledge a direct quotation or patchwriting. In the preparation of all papers and other written work, students must distinguish their own ideas and knowledge from information derived from other sources. The term “sources” includes not only published primary and secondary materials, but also information and opinions gained directly from other people. Whenever ideas or facts are derived from a source, the source must be indicated by the student.
Cheating is the willful giving or receiving of information in an unauthorized manner during an examination or to complete an assignment; collaborating with another student during an examination without authority; using, buying, selling, soliciting, stealing, or otherwise obtaining course assignments and/or examination questions in advance; unauthorized copying of computer or Internet files; using someone else’s work for assignments as if it were one’s own; submitting or resubmitting an assignment in whole or in part (i.e. recycling an assignment) for more than one (1) class or institution without permission from each of the professors; or any other dishonest means of attempting to fulfill the requirements of a course.
Collusion is intentionally or unintentionally aiding or attempting to aid another in an act of scholastic dishonesty, including but not limited to, failing to secure academic work; providing a paper or project to another student; providing an inappropriate level of assistance or unauthorized collaboration; communicating answers to a classmate about an examination or any other course assignment; removing tests or answer sheets from a test site; and allowing a classmate to copy answers.
In cases where an incident report has been filed for an alleged violation of scholastic dishonesty, the faculty member is requested to delay posting a grade for the academic work in question until the case is final. Students found responsible for scholastic dishonesty offenses will receive an authorized disciplinary penalty or penalties from the Dean of Student Office. The student may also receive an academic penalty in the course where the scholastic dishonesty took place. The faculty member will determine the appropriate academic penalty.
