Page| EXAM III Designs for Fitness Exam III Students, after much reflection I feel the content of this Obesity topic is much more meaningfully addressed with a take-home essay exam. This way you can research, analyze and synthesize answers in your own words. Exam Specifics: Exam due on Monday, November 17 at 9:45 am. No late papers accepted! Typewritten and Double Spaced Must be Submitted on Hard Copy in person to ME (Dr. Kravitz) Absolutely No Email Submissions Accepted Do your OWN work and make sure you do NOT copy directly from your sources…that would be plagiarism (which is academic dishonesty!). (Class, I am giving you Friday as a workday and NO CLASS on Monday as this is the time you would have been doing this exam, if we did the exam in class). Students are welcome to use books, class notes and the internet for answers. Please CITE all references used at the end of your exam. I have shown how to cite references below. Questions will be graded on accuracy and thoroughness. For EACH question you have a 300 word MAXIMUM limit…that means you can write up to 300 words…NO MORE FOR EACH QUESTION! You do not have to rewrite the question. Just start your answer with the 1), 2), 3), 4), 5), 6), 7), so I know for sure what question you are answering. Lastly: If you have any questions feel free to email me or ask me Friday morning as I plan to be setting up in B100 at 9:30 am.
