Paper Description

Edit Paper Description Content
In this paper, students will gain an introduction to sociological understandings of sport and movement cultures. They will develop new ways of critically thinking about the important role sport plays in contemporary society, including the economy, politics, tourism, media, and our sense of identity, belonging and community. Students will be introduced to a range of sociological concepts--including historical, sociological, social psychological, and philosophical--from a sport development perspective, and learn how to apply these to local, national and international sporting contexts.

Assessment

Edit Assessments Content

Assessments are due on the date (and time) specified in Moodle.

******

As per FHSHE Guidelines:

Students are required to complete and submit all internal assessment by specified dates. The last date for accepting internal assessment (the deadline) is written in the paper outline. If a student cannot meet the deadline for a significant reason there are clear procedures that must be followed.

A student should make every effort to request an extension before the due date. Extensions to the submission deadline should be agreed to in writing by the paper’s lecturer.

Extensions will normally only be given in case of illness, family bereavement, or serious personal accidents or circumstances.

Applications for extensions should be made to the paper coordinator / convenor as specified in the paper outline.

Requests for extensions on medical grounds must be accompanied by a medical certificate.

Late submissions without a granted extension should receive a deduction of 3% per weekday from the total paper grade.

Late submissions will not be accepted one calendar week after the submission deadline.

No deadlines may be extended beyond two weeks.
