Each student will create a behavior change plan to achieve their
individual wellness goal. Each student should identify a meaningful
wellness goal that can be carried out for a 3 week period.
Each week should have at least
three or four entries. Use the
information you've gathered from your Wellness Wheel, Lifescan, E-Chug
Assessment, Testwell, or your Fitness Assessment to identify a goal in a
dimension of wellness you feel you need to work on.
Students will carry out their plan for at least 3 weeks, analyze progress
over those weeks, and plan for new efforts. Students are expected to keep
information in the log form (see below). To complete an appropriate wellness
behavior change plan, follow the
sample plan found on the D2L content site under week 9.
Recording your activities and progress in a log. The last page of
the sample behavior change project found on the D2L content page has an example of the log format you must use. The
example shows that your log MUST contain
4 columns in which you
write the following essential info:
1) the date of each entry
2) details of each activity undertaken to achieve your SMART goal and
objectives, such as date, time, duration, and the name of the activity.
Also include details about the nature of the activity, such as the
intensity, mode, progression, your feelings, whether you were alone or
with someone, etc. (anything that helps you evaluate how and why you’re
progressing).
3) the objective addressed by each activity
4) evidence (signatures of witnesses, receipts, printouts from
websites, photos, etc.) If the evidence cannot be imbedded in the
log, then the log should clearly indicate where the evidence can be
found (page number, "photo A", "printout #1", etc.) with the evidence
labeled accordingly.
Failure to turn in a log that CLEARLY outlines these 4 pieces of info
for 3 weeks will result in no credit. Failure to complete
this assignment will result in failure of the course. It is
expected that you will spend a considerable amount of time accurately
logging your progress and activities. Logs that reflect poor
record keeping will be reduced in point value accordingly. Each
week should contain AT LEAST 3 ENTRIES.
