Required/Recommended ReadingsRecommended Textbook: Weinberg, R. S. & Gould, D. (2010). Foundations of Sport and Exercise Psychology (7th ed.). Champaign, IL, U.S.A: Human Kinetics. There will also be a set of required readings prepared in advance for students.
Teaching Methods• The class will be taught using two instructional approaches. I will be spending about 50% of class time in a lecture format and 50% in a seminar format or group discussion, in which discussions and small group exercises will be held, videos watched, and activities conducted. Because discussions will be held regularly in class students will need to read all materials in advance—and read on time. In addition, any outside assignments that will be discussed in class must be completed at the scheduled time. In class activities will facilitate the learning process and help students grasp the material. • The class will be taught in a semi-flipped format. Students will be assigned introductory online lectures weekly. Then, I will be clarifying each point with examples while emphasizing the important parts during the lecture part.
Homework and ProjectsStudents will be asked to lead one of the discussion sessions of the course based on the readings/chapters of the week. They will be asked to read the articles and prepare discussion questions prior to the discussion.
Laboratory WorkNone
Computer UseNone
Other ActivitiesVarious in class activities and additional assignments will be assigned throughout the semester. These will be unannounced and students must be present in order to complete the assignment and receive credit. These assignments cannot be made up at a later date. In-class participation is a critical component of the class and just attending class is not sufficient to gaining points for activities. Students will be asked to work in teams for these activities and teams will have the chance to discuss and share their thoughts about the topic.

Course Administration acers@mef.edu.tr

Instructor’s mail address: dgurleyik@mef.edu.tr Attendance at all classes is mandatory. Students arriving late or unprepared will be barred from that class, which will impact upon their continuous assessment grade. Students must provide a legitimate, acceptable and documented excuse for missing a scheduled exam. There will be a make-up exam if students miss the midterm. Make-up exams could be in a different format than midterm or final exam. Students are expected to treat university personnel and one another respectfully at all times; this includes showing respect for class content and for others’ opinions. The commitment of acts of cheating, lying, and deceit in any of their diverse forms such as plagiarism, and copying during examinations is dishonest and will not be tolerated. Any student caught cheating will receive a grade of zero
