Requirements: Prerequisite Level 2 or above and registration in a KINE Plan.
Offering Faculty: Faculty of Arts and Science
Course Learning Outcomes:
- Evaluate motor skill learning in a variety of contexts.
- Identify the underlying behavioural, neural, and mechanical principles that contribute to motor skill learning.
- Read, synthesize, and translate research findings.
- Utilize experimental approaches to the assessment of motor behaviours.
