No longer offered. It’s in Waterloo’s scanned calendars from 1992–93 to 1994–95 (before that, 1967–68 to 1968–69 used the number for Care and Prevention of Athletic Injuries); the 1995–96 to 2023–24 calendars are on ucalendar.

An introduction to the sociology of physical activity. The course examines physical activity with respect to settings such as the workplace, educational and health systems, exercise, and sport. Particular attention is directed to a consideration of the social significance of physical activity and the social influences and constraints upon access and participation.

As printed in the 1992–93 to 1994–95 calendars, read by OCR; the scanned page is the original. Later calendars (1995–96 on) aren’t on uwloo.

  • Weekly readings are kinda interesting, but long. 3 reflection papers. 2 midterms. All worth 20%. Reflection papers heavily look at APA format, so make sure you know that. Midterms are very much reading-based so if you don't keep up with the readings, you will be screwed in the midterm. Lecture is vague and kinda boring, but engaging in discussion.

  • Great learning experience. It really brought my perspective on how many social factors can actually influence how an individual participates in sports. At first I was nervous on how the grade breakdown was, but moreover, it turned out to be one of those courses were you needed to put the effort into it. Spring 2017 is the last time this course is offered as all new AHS students will be enrolled in a first year sociology course known as AHS 107.

  • Easy. No final. 3 reflections and 2 quizzes that are all 20% each. Very easy 80-90. Make sure you look over slides in lecture and write everything said in the rubric in the reflection

  • Pretty boring class, however the discussions were engaging and interesting. Consisted of 2 midterms and 3 papers. BE SURE TO LOOK AT THE APA FORMATTING AND RUBRIC FOR THE PAPERS AS A BIG EMPHASIS IS PLACED ON IT.
