Module 00 Overview & Course Orientation

In Plain English: Reading Navigation Guide

Before you read the details below, here is the short version: Module 00 is your permanent, semester-long Ready Reference Guide for KIN-101. It walks you through our weekly schedule, how to use AI safely as a clinical calculator, and how to revise any assignment for a full 10 / 10 score. Because this module stays open all 16 weeks, bookmark it and return whenever you need a quick refresher or example.

En Palabras Sencillas (Norteño Context)

Piensa en el Módulo 00 como el manual de guantera de tu troca: siempre está abierto durante todo el semestre por si ocupas checar un ejemplo o cómo subir una calificación a 10 / 10. Si los términos técnicos se ponen pesados, concéntrate primero en cómo usar Patrón / Regla / Solución para cuidar la seguridad de tu cliente.

Student Orientation Verification Self-Check / Autoevaluación de Inducción

Click or tap each question to reveal the verification response and confirm your readiness for KIN-101.

Step 1: What is the single source of truth (SSoT) for core guidelines in this course?
Response: The federal Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans (PAGA 2018, 2nd Ed). All workflow patterns and metric safety thresholds anchor directly to this framework.
Step 2: How are practical assignments and Lab reports submitted?
Response: All Lab reports and practical assessments require a text-only submission typed or pasted directly into the designated Canvas text box by Monday at 11:59 PM MST unless otherwise specified by Coach Pruitt.
Step 3: What three steps make up the Clinical Framing Protocol (Pattern / Rule / Solve) framework?
Response: Pattern (Extract client baselines/data) → Rule (Cross-reference federal guidelines) → Solve (Prescribe evidence-based physical activity interventions).
Step 4: Where can you request academic accommodations or learning support?
Response: Contact AWC AccessABILITY Services directly at (928) 344-7674 or email access@azwestern.edu.
Step 5: Is this course optimized for mobile devices?
Response: Yes. KIN-101 uses a "Mobile-First" structural layout so you can complete readings and review materials on phones, tablets, or Lab terminals. Mobile pages render best in "landscape" mode.
Step 6: What should you do if you encounter a broken link or media element?
Response: Notify Coach Pruitt immediately via Canvas Inbox or email (alan.pruitt@azwestern.edu) so the technical infrastructure team can issue an instant hotfix.
Step 7: What is the primary focus of Kinesiology in KIN-101?
Response: It is the academic, multi-disciplinary study of human movement, physical activity, and community health—not strictly competitive sports.
