General Education Goals Addressed by Course This course addresses a number of general education competencies and satisfies a BOK in the Social and Behavioral Sciences. Each of these competencies will be addressed using a scoring rubric created by Professor Schoepfer. For each assignment in class that specifically addresses a general education competency, Professor Schoepfer will thoroughly explain the scoring rubric used for that assignment. The following are the specific competencies addressed by this course: Communication Oral Communication: listening, speaking and presenting effectively Reasoned Judgment Ethical Thinking: recognizing and analyzing ethical issues and actions Social and Personal Responsibility Teamwork: working effectively with others for a common goal Course Learning Objectives While meeting the Oral Communication competency, students will: organize and evaluate ideas for oral presentations communicate through public speaking listen and interact effectively with classmates present ideas concisely respond to questions using logic and reasoning While meeting the Reasoned Judgment competency, students will: understand ethical issues as they implicate personal and social behavior identify an ethical dilemma in any given factual scenario propose actions that conform to ethical standards in situations where ethical dilemmas may be present While meeting the Social and Personal Responsibility competency, students will: work effectively with others for a common goal actively engage with other group members contribute their own ideas to the group, while respecting the ideas of others handle their own share of the group workload follow through on commitments and demonstrate reliability towards the group Attendance policy: This course will meet on Tuesday and Thursday from 2:00-3:15 p.m. Attendance will be taken at each class session. Students are allowed two absences per semester. You are given two absences to use in the event of illness, family obligation, car trouble, inclement weather, alarm clock issues etc. Please use them wisely. Except for an extreme circumstance, no absence will be excused beyond the allotted two. Each absence after the allotted two will result in a loss of class participation points, and will effectively serve to lower the students final grade for the course. Classroom Policies: 1. Students are required to come to each class session prepared to discuss the assigned material. 2. Any cell phone, pager and/or text messaging system MUST be left outside the classroom. These items will not be tolerated. 3. Food and drink are allowed in class; however, please be reasonable. A snack and beverage is fine; a five-course meal, or anything excessively crunchy, is not. 4. Please arrive on time to class. Excessive lateness will result in a deduction of class participation points. 5. Please come to class with an open mind and a willingness to share your thoughts with others. A fundamental principle of learning is the sharing and acceptance of others ideas. Special Assistance: If for any reason a student believes he or she needs special assistance throughout the course due to a physical or mental impairment, please notify Professor Schoepfer immediately. All efforts will be made to provide the student with a reasonable accommodation. Evaluation: Your performance in this course will be evaluated using the following methods.

The third exam is the final exam and will be given on a date assigned by the University. YOU MUST TAKE THE FINAL EXAM DURING THE ASSIGNED EXAM PERIOD. NO EXCEPTIONS WILL BE MADE. Problem Solving Groups/Oral Presentation At the start of each semester, students will be placed in a problem solving group (approximately 4 students per group, depending on class size) for in-class activities throughout the semester. Periodically, the groups will be given a hypothetical fact pattern which includes at least one ethical dilemma in a sport setting. As a group, students must evaluate the facts, discuss appropriate actions, and prepare answers to the pointed questions provided with the fact pattern. After a discussion period of approximately 30 minutes (this will vary based on course schedule), group each will designate one member as the presenter. That designee must present the group s overall findings to the rest of the class. Each group member must present once in a semester. This will ensure that throughout the course, each student makes at least one oral presentation. In this activity, only the designee s ability to listen to their group s ideas and opinions and translate those ideas into an effective oral presentation will be evaluated using the oral communication rubric. Class Participation Students are encouraged to come to class with an open mind and a willingness to share their thoughts with others. A fundamental principle of learning is the sharing and acceptance of others ideas. Students will be required to prepare for, and actively participate in, class discussions throughout the duration of the course. Each students participation throughout the course of the semester will be evaluated using a class participation rubric. Individual Case Analysis Responses Periodically throughout the course, the instructor will distribute hypothetical fact patterns with related questions Students must read the facts provided and prepare written responses to the questions provided within an assigned time frame. Typically, this assignment is completed in class; however, on occasion, students are asked to complete the questions as a take home assignment Each fact pattern is specifically written by the instructor to engage the student in practical application of ethical theories to real world scenarios in the sport setting; successful completion of the assignment requires a demonstrated understanding of the relevant ethical theory and an ability to apply the theory in a practical manner. Ethical Action Plan Near the end of the semester, students are asked to assume the role of an individual in the sports industry, typically a coach or athletic administrator, and prepare an ethical action plan to guide conduct in that profession. Students receive a set list of ethical constructs for which they must develop appropriate actions (see example provided) Successful completion of the project requires the student prepare a typed written analysis which explains their choices from an ethical perspective. Group Presentation Using the same groups as in the Problem Solving Groups/Oral Presentation Project discussed earlier, students will prepare a group presentation, which will be given to the class to stimulate discussion on a selected topic in Sport Ethics. Specifically, each group will be assigned a topic, and must research either ethical or unethical practices in sport within that topic. On a presentation day, two groups will present. For example, one group will be assigned to research the unethical application of racial bias in sport. Another will be assigned to research what ethical actions are being taken to remedy that same bias. In the first class period of the Racial Issues in Sport topic week, both groups will present their respective side to the issue as a method of stimulating class discussion on the topic. Specifically, each group will be required to submit, in addition to the presentation, an assignment of responsibilities worksheet, a research plan, a bibliography detailing all of their information sources, a peer evaluation rubric and a self-evaluation rubric. Course Overview: This course will provide students an understanding of the way in which ethical principles affect sport by providing a detailed and comprehensive account of sport management ethics. Students will be challenged to consider value issues with regard to sport, especially in the treatment of sport participants, consumers and employees. Students will learn to recognize that ethical questions inevitably arise at every organizational level, and those in charge of managing sport must have the ability to recognize and effectively deal with such ethical concerns.
