CEP 820-Teaching Students Online
Instructor: Sandra Sawaya
This course is intended to prepare students to teach online. Students are exposed to various learning managment systems (LMS), and are taught how to create an online course. Throughout the course I experimented with various LMS' and created a course from scratch. Thanks to this course I feel comfortable creating online courses.
KIN 856-Physical Bases of Coaching
Instructor: Scott Reiwald
This course was very much a review of information from my undergradutate studies in Kinesiology. Throughout the course we studied the biomechanics, sports medicine, physiology, and anatomy. It felt great to expand on my preexisting knowledge of the body and to further that knowledge by linking this knowledge to my coachign principles.

KIN 855-Psychosocial Bases of Coaching
Instructor: Andy Driska
This was perhaps my second favorite course in the master's program. The course taught me how to examine sports from a psychological perspective, as well as a social perspective. It taught me how to examine my coaching philosophy and use scientific principles to advance my philosophy. I gained a greater perspective of how to reach my athletes.
KIN 857-Promoting Positive Youth Development in Sport
Instructor: Dan Gould
In this course I was able to take a look at the reasoning behind how we develop our athletes in sport. Specifically I looked at how to develop Lacrosse players from childhood on. By examining the development of young athletes and pairing that with appropriate expectations on the field, I was able to gain a better understanding of we should teach lacrosse to children as they develop.

KIN 854-Legal and Administrative Issuses in Sport
Instructor: R. Atkinson
As an athletic director this course has helped me more than any other in my life. It taught me the hidden responsibilities of an athletic department, along with the possible issues that can arrise. The mock cases we wrote about allowed us to deal with real life situations, and receive feedback from a legal expert. This course has helped me develop my ability to handle the legal aspects of sport.
ED 800-Concepts of Educational Inquiry
Instructor: Steven Weiland
This course caused me to look deeply at current and past problems in education, and how we could possibly remedy those issues. We looked at various forms of inquiry, and consistently applied those concepts to our personal lives. The course was the most indepth and expansive course of my graduate coursework, it allowed me to expand how I look at modern education.

ED 870- Capstone Seminar
Instructor: Matthew Koehler
The capstone seminar serves as a reflection of my entire graduate coursework while also allowing me to recognize where my newly aquired knowledge could take me. We reflect on previous experiences, on future expectations, and the many lessons learned throughout our graduate experience. This course also developes an online portfolio to showcase this knowledge.
TE 822-Issues of Culture in Classroom and Curriculum
Instructor: Niral Shah
The final course of my graduate program focused on the various perspectives we should consider when teaching and evaluating students. Most notably, we examined culture and the role it plays in differentiating our instruction. This course has improved my ability to recognize cultural differences and needs in the curriculum.
