COURSES TAUGHT AT UNIVERSITY LEVEL
Physical Growth and Psychomotor Development - A
required course in the Faculty of Physical Education and Recreation at the University of Alberta for BPE, Secondary PE Majors,
and BPE/BEd students. This course (PEDS 307) is a study of the
sequential changes in physical growth and motor development with emphasis on
individual differences [Class size: 190].
Skill Acquisition and Performance - A
required course for all second year students enrolled in the Faculty of
Physical Education and Recreation at the University of Alberta.
This course (PEDS 203) provides students an understanding of human motor
behaviour (motor control & learning) [Class size: ~100 each
semester].
Current Issues in Motor Control A
graduate level course (PERLS 582) in the Faculty of Physical Education and
Recreation at the University of Alberta, this course focuses on a behavioural
level of motor control with an emphasis on special populations (Down
syndrome).
Directed Studies An undergraduate course
in the Faculty of Physical Education and Recreation at the University of
Alberta, this course (PEDS 499) offers students the opportunity to do work
focused on a particular area of study or a specific research project.
Neuromotor Control of Human Movement A
required upper level course in the Kinesiology program at Louisiana State
University. This
course (KINE 3517) provides students with an understanding of the
neuroanatomy of the human biological system along with the neurophysiological
and functional aspects of all sensory and motor systems. A comprehensive
examination of degenerative disorders of the central nervous system is also
addressed [Class size: 60].
Motor Control - An elective in the
Graduate program at Louisiana
State University.
This course (KINE 7512) presents ecological, dynamical systems, and
information-processing perspectives with respect to the underlying control
mechanisms involved in human movement.
Biomechanics - A required course in the
Department of Kinesiology at Louisiana
State University.
This course (KINE 3514) provides an introduction to the analysis of
human movement. Students are introduced to the methods used in human
motion analyses (digitizing) as well as linear and angular kinematics and
linear and angular kinetics [Class size: 60].
Lifespan Motor Development - A required
course in the Kinesiology program at Louisiana
State University
(KINE 4512) and at McMaster
University (PE/KIN
1E3). The course content covers developmental characteristics of motor
behaviour across the life span (from embryonic stages to the elderly) and
includes a section on special populations [Class size: 60]. Also used for
Graduate credit at LSU.
Research Methods - A required course in
the graduate program of the Department of Kinesiology at Louisiana State
University. This
course (KINE 7900) covered all aspects involved in the research process such
as: Developing questions, Literature review, Theory and methodology, Ethics,
Statistical analyses, Writing and submitting theses, dissertations, and
manuscripts.
Measurement and Evaluation / Tests and
Measurements - An upper level elective course in the Kinesiology
program at McMaster University (KIN 3C3) and a required course at Louisiana State University
(KINE 3502). The aim is to provide a background for the students in
research design and statistics related to the study of human movement [Class
size: 40].
Neuromuscular Kinesiology - A required
course in the Kinesiology program at the University
of Colorado, Boulder (KINE 4520). Students are
provided with a comprehensive understanding of the perceptual, motor, and
cognitive concepts related to neuromuscular behaviour. They are also
introduced to theoretical perspectives in motor behaviour such as information
processing, the ecological approach and Dynamical pattern theory [Class size:
80].
Introduction to Kinesiology - This
undergraduate class at the University
of Colorado, Boulder (KINE 1010) presents an
introductory examination of the science of human movement and physical
activity. Students are exposed to the concepts in the various
sub-fields that comprise Kinesiology. In the Fall term of 1995, I
taught part of the course with Dr. Stephen Wallace and taught the Spring and
Summer term sessions for 1996 on my own [Class sizes: 420 and 300].
Colloquium in Kinesiology - The objective
of this undergraduate course (KINE 4100) in the Kinesiology program at the University of Colorado,
Boulder was
to develop appreciation and understanding of the diverse offerings in the
field of Kinesiology. This was accomplished by presentations from
invited speakers of sub-fields of Kinesiology and facilitating post
colloquium discussions and reports [Class size: 20].
Psycho-Motor Behaviour - This is a second
year required course in the Kinesiology program at McMaster
University (Hamilton, Ontario).
The course (PE/KIN 2E3) is designed to introduce the students to all aspects
of human motor behaviour (motor control and learning). I shared the
teaching of this course with Dr. Digby Elliott [Class size: 150].
Human Growth and Motor Development - This
third year course is a requirement in the Physical Education program at Wilfrid Laurier
University (Waterloo, Ontario).
The course (PE 323) covered developmental characteristics of motor behaviour
and placed a greater emphasis on the study of theoretical and methodological
approaches to the study of growth and development [Class size: 50].
Physical Activity
Classes - Physical Education programs at York
University and McMaster University.
Track & Field activity classes from 1983-1985 and 1985-1991 respectively.
[Class size: 210/100]
