#MoveThrive5

The Assessment of Physical Activity class at CU takes students through an experiential learning opportunity throughout the entirety of the class. In this class, students design assessment plans based on their respective interests and future career goals. They will find participants for their study, go through the IRB process, develop and implement a baseline assessment, collect results, create goals based on those results, develop and implement formative assessments throughout the project, collect data, and report results. At the conclusion of the project they have a paper they have worked on throughout the term and will design posters to present at a student-led research fair at the end of the term. Students' experiences in this class range from assessment motor skills, manipulative skills, health-related fitness, and sport-related fitness skills.
