<= ![if !supportLists]>C.      =            Rationale for the course: Program Planning is an essential skill for the recreation, park, and tourism professional.  The abi= lity to assess needs, plan agency activities into a cohesive program, implement these programs in the most efficient and effective way, and evaluate the effectiveness of those programs is the crux of the recreation professionals’ skills.

   Worth: 100 points

 

2. Assignm= ent: Programming Labs #1, #2, #3, #4, &= amp; #5

    Procedure: On the assigned d= ays the class will be broken up into lab groups of five to seven people and be given a problem or a situation to solve together. These topics will be in t= he general areas:

&nb= sp;            =             &nb= sp;          Lab #1 – Benefits Based Programming

&nb= sp;            =             &nb= sp;          Lab #2 - Mission and philosophy

&nb= sp;            =             &nb= sp;          Lab #3 – Behavioral Objectives

&nb= sp;            =             &nb= sp;          Lab #4 - The Great Debate in Competitive Sports

&nb= sp;            =             &nb= sp;          Lab #5 - Pricing or Evaluation

   Evaluation: Participa= tion in these lab experiences, which are group efforts, is mandatory and therefore cannot be made up. Evaluation will be accomplished by the rev= iew of lab proceeds. The Debate will be judged by two faculty from the Wellness Department.

   Worth: 20 points per = lab session; the Debate is somewhat different in that each of the four speakers will have the potential to rece= ive up to 50 points, the winning team members will receive 20 points and the lo= sing team members will only receive 10 points.

  

3. Assignment: League and Tournament Planning

   Procedure: During cla= ss a hypothetical group of people interested in a sport league or tournament wil= l be given to you and you will set up a league or tournament for this group. Practice tournament building by going to

­      =       

   Evaluation: Proper fo= rmat and intelligent planning will be the criteria used to evaluate your league = or tournament. There will be a total of five different league or tournament problems. Each class member is given one of these. If you do not achieve the point score you wish on your league or tournament you may take a sheet with= all five leagues and tournaments and do all five correctly for the total point score.

   Worth: 100 points

 

4. Evaluation: MIDTERM EXAM

   Worth: 75 points=

 

5. Assignment: Scheduling Plans

   Procedure: Selected f= rom the list below an agency or department concerned with leisure service deliv= ery, you will investigate that agency gathering its policies regarding program, = its populations, its facilities, climate, budget, and staff (see Syllabus Supplement #1 for a     = ;           <= /o:p>

complete list of items) and use the= se to write a comprehensive plan for that agency that could serve as a yearly, seasonal, monthly, weekly, daily, and activity plan (see Syllabus Supplement #2). Each plan will build upon the last and will become more complex as the time span decreases. This paper, which will be completed in stages due throughout the semester, must include all the pertinent analysis informatio= n in the beginning and include in order: one yearly, one seasonal, one monthly, = one weekly, one daily, and one activity

plan. You may not select an organization for which you work.

 

These agencies have not received prior notice that you will be studying them. It is therefore imperative that you approach them formally and politely. If you do not receive positive assistance and response immediately it is recommended that you choose another agency for y= our project. (Please remember that = you represent us (CCBC) when you go to speak to these agencies.)

 

   Evaluation: This pape= r will be evaluated on its completeness, neatness, creativity, practicality, clari= ty, and usefulness. The syllabus supplements #1 and #2 are detailed directions = for completing the assignments. They are to be followed exactly as their instructions direct!
