Assignment Overview:
The ability to apply the knowledge you’ve obtained to tasks or situations in the real world is a benchmark of true learning. If you can demonstrate your ability to use the theories and information to solve problems and diagnose issues in the learning process, you can say you have truly learned the material. This week, I have posed two scenarios for each of the four programs within the Exercise Science major and asked you to apply all your knowledge to the selected scenario. This knowledge includes the motor development, motor control and motor learning issues that are pertinent to the situation. The more concepts you can apply, the more you demonstrate your ability gained in this course. Read the assignment carefully, think it over, outline where concepts apply and formulate a well-written and analytic paper.
