Quickdraw Posted March 4, 2004 Share Posted March 4, 2004 Laugh all you want, but this test represents more knowledge than Ricky Clemens had to demonstrate to get his 24 hours of summer college credit accepted at SPUMAC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billikens_Fanatic Posted March 4, 2004 Share Posted March 4, 2004 I wouldn't be suprised if Harrick offered a dictated exam as well to accommodate those who couldn't read... Those questions would be deemed too easy by most principals evaluating elementary school Phys Ed teachers. At the collegiate level, this is just an embarrassment.

cardinalempire69 Posted March 4, 2004 Share Posted March 4, 2004 Did anyone else here take a college sports class? I took soccer at my undergraduate school, and to be quite honest the final wasn't much more difficult than the one I just read for Harrick's bball class. I'm not condoning the difficulty level, but very few coaches are gonna drill his/her students in a PE100 class. JMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have to really try to remember what my "blow-off" class was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cardinalempire69 Posted March 4, 2004 Share Posted March 4, 2004 Whoa, calm down Kimosabe. I had to take that class as part of the general education requirements. Most colleges today require a PE course as part of the liberal arts experience. With so few people being physically active, I think a physical activities course is a VERY smart move on the part of institutions of higher learning. Sad as the case may be, the collective population today is OUT OF SHAPE and needs to be EDUCATED on how to live a healthy life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
