Lifetime Fitness
is a 2 unit lecture course that will cover the theories of fitness, lifestyle
changes, fitness assessment, and exercise programs that lead to a healthier
lifestyle.
Text and
Assignments*
The required
text for this class is Fit and Well Alternate Edition 8th ed, by Fahey, Insel, and
Roth. The assignments are all
found in the book and so buying it is not an option. As part of your homework
assignments, you will be assessing your fitness level. This will involve
running or walking, measuring your strength, flexibility, and body composition.
You will turn in reports outlining these activities throughout the semester.
*Students will need to have access to the
internet and will need to have Firefox internet browser to access the website
below for assignments. Assignments will be conducted using the ANGEL Learning
course management system. This is
a required online component of the course.
Grading
Grading for this
portion of the class will be as follows:
Each week will
require you to read one chapter in the text, read the supplementary lecture
notes, watch the PowerPoint presentations online, and complete the lab homework
activity. These will all prepare you to successfully complete the required
10-question quiz at the end of each week. Your compiled quiz scores along with
the score of your final exam will determine your final grade for course.

Beginning the
Course and Logging into ANGEL
This course uses
an online course management system called ANGEL. It requires that you have a
log in name and password. If you just registered, it may take a few days for
the college to set up and process your information on our database before your
log in name is active. See the section below to learn how to determine your log
in name and password:
Before the
course begins, access the browser tune-up page to make sure you have Java
enabled and have also allowed pop-up windows, both required in ANGEL:
http://www.westvalley.edu/dl/browser_tuneup.html
Then, on the
first day of the semester, go to the ANGEL log in page to get started:
http://wvmccd.angellearning.com
You will need a
log in name and password to access ANGEL.
Your
login user name consists of all seven digits of your student ID number. Your
student ID number is generated by the computer at the college and is included
with all of the paperwork you receive from the college. This number is not
your social security number. If you can't find any paperwork with your student
ID number on it or you never received any paperwork in the first place, please
contact the college Admissions and Records office at 408-741-2001.
Your
password is your six digit birthdate. Single digits must have a zero in front
of them. So if you were born on May 9, 1977, your password would be 050977
NOTE: You will
not be able to access the course before the official start date as listed in
the schedule of classes.
