Physical education course

An in-person session where students can obtain further details regarding course requirements and familiarize themselves with the sports facility's premises and house rules. This session may be held virtually.

The core of the course consists of independent gym workouts and instructor-led group training sessions.

Participation is mandatory for the in-person session and six group training sessions (according to the group schedule), as well as six gym workouts (at times of the student's choosing during the course period); a total of 12 training sessions plus the in-person session.

Students may register for one of five different group options. Each group holds one 90-minute session per week according to the schedule. A group will only open if at least six students have registered for it.

By agreement with the instructor, sessions may be completed in advance or made up at other times if there is a valid reason.
Gym workouts may be completed independently throughout the duration of the course. A minimum of four workouts is required, though up to six may be completed free of charge.

The course concludes with a test (the date is listed in the Study Information System, ÕIS), which is taken via the Moodle platform (moodle.hitsa.ee). The use of study aids is permitted.

Important dates:

Weeks 3–15: Participation in independent gym workouts.
Weeks 3–8: Participation in group training sessions.

Test: Week 15.

Students can register in the ÕIS system for the group that best fits their schedule. If fewer than eight students register for a specific group, that group will not open, and the students will be notified. Students may then choose a different group or, if no suitable times are available, unregister from the course.

Participants in the ball games course will learn about and actively engage in four major sports: futsal, volleyball, floorball, and basketball. There will also be brief opportunities to try table tennis, badminton, running, and gym workouts.

Classes for a specific group take place once a week. In total, students can attend 12 training sessions. It is permitted to make up missed classes or attend sessions in advance (i.e., participating multiple times a week by joining other groups; schedules are available from the instructor).

As an alternative, up to four physical education training sessions can be substituted by watching EMÜ team home games at the EMÜ Sports Hall. The sports for which you can cheer on the home team are basketball, floorball, and volleyball. Weekly game schedules can be found on the sport.emu.ee website or in the competition calendars of the respective sports federations. To have a home game visit count towards the course, you must register your EMÜ Sports Club client card with the administrator at the start of the game; otherwise, your attendance will not be recorded.

The ball games course concludes with a test (the date is listed in ÕIS) taken via the moodle.hitsa.ee platform. The test consists of 20 questions covering basketball, futsal, floorball, and volleyball. Students have 10 minutes to complete it. The use of aids is permitted. However, it is also possible to complete the course without taking the test (Option 3).
