academic dishonesty. As a result, academic dishonesty of any kind is not
tolerated. Students caught cheating, plagiarizing, or participating in any form
of academic dishonesty will receive an F on the assignment or test (and possibly
an F in the course). A formal report to the chair of the Department, to the
Dean, and to the Student Conduct Program will be made.
If you have any questions about the
extent and severity of sanctions that may result from dishonest behavior, I

Statement of Risk:
Risk is associated with many of life’s activities, including PAC classes.
The College of Public Health and Human Sciences classes will seek to minimize these risks by providing safe activity areas where
possible, adequate equipment, and capable instruction. It is highly recommended
that you provide yourself with a student health/accident insurance policy. These
are available through the University, private carriers, or through a family
policy. If uninsured, minor accidents or health problems can lead to great
expense. If you have a condition that might affect or be affected by
participation in this PAC class, you are encouraged to so inform your instructor
either verbally or in writing. Should you become ill or injured during class
time, please inform the instructor or have a fellow student do so. If you must
leave class because of illness or injury it is recommended that another student
accompany you.
Heavy bowling balls and ball return machines used during this class have an
obvious inherent danger. Use common sense and precautions at all times. When
bowling, common sense and precautions are urged at all times. If you perceive
dangerous conditions that cannot be counteracted with common sense and
reasonable precautions, desist and/or speak with your instructor.
Statement for
Students with Disabilities
Accommodations are collaborative efforts between students, faculty and Services
for Students with Disabilities (SSD). Students with accommodations approved
through SSD are responsible for contacting the faculty member in charge of the
course prior to or during the first week of the term to discuss accommodations.
Students who believe they are eligible for accommodations but who have not yet
obtained approval through SSD should contact SSD immediately at 737-4098.
Focus questions you may find helpful on quizzes
and exams ---
*Assuming you do not have a proven stance starting
position for your strike ball attempt, where has it been recommended by your
instructor to position your left instep (right instep for left-hand bowlers) in
relationship to the nearest row of dots on floor where you will begin your
approach?
*Assuming you do not have a proven target arrow on the bowling lane, which arrow
has been recommended by your instructor to use as your target for your strike
ball?
*To throw a hook ball, with your thumb straight up referring to the 12 noon
position, at what "time position" should your thumb be positioned?
*Which lane arrow is recommended to you as your target for attempting a spare,
with the exception of most spares with the 1- or 5-pin?
*How many steps in the approach used by most bowlers?

step taken with which foot?
*As you take your first step in a 4-step approach, what do you do with the
bowling ball?
*At what point of the bowling-arm forward swing is the ball released?
*Using the 3-6-9 Method for bowling spares, how many boards would a right-hand
bowler move to attempt a spare with only the 3-pin? Would he/she move left or
right to attempt this spare? How many boards would a right-hand bowler move to
attempt a spare with only the 10-pin?
*If you are hitting your target arrow consistently on your strike ball, but you
are NOT getting a strike, what should you most likely adjust?
*If you keep hitting to the RIGHT of the head pin on your strike ball, in which
direction would you adjust your stance?
*On a smooth and correct follow-through, what is the final position of the
off-side arm?
