Calendar
When reading entries on the calendar, or viewing the calendar week when you sign into WeCT/Blackboard, you may come across the term “ALL DAY” or 12 am – 11:59 pm. All this refers to is how long the item can be viewed on the calendar. Simply put, if there is an item placed in the date box and it says all day in front of the entry, you will be able to see it all day. This does not refer to how long you have to turn in assignments and meet deadlines or expiration date for quizzes. Posted expiration dates along with assignment due dates and deadlines found at the end of the syllabus will be strictly enforced.
Grading / Evaluation: Completion of this course is based on satisfactory performance on the following:
Assessment
A letter grade will then be assigned according to the following scale: 90% and above = A 80% - 89% = B 70% - 79% = C 60% - 69% = D 59% and below = F
Note: The instructor does not round up the final grade.
Unless you have 12 hours from MSU prior to August 31, 2006, you MUST make a grade of “C” or higher in all of your professional courses for them to count toward graduation. A professional course grade of “D” or lower MUST be repeated.
Please note: The patient (shift) assessment and the cultural communication assignment MUST be submitted to the assignment dropbox located on the left side of the course homepage. DO NOT send it to me as an e-mail attachment.
Assignments must be received prior to the deadline.
Assignments that require the student to research information must correctly acknowledge the source of information. The paper should follow guidelines of the American Psychological Association. You will need to refer to the sixth edition of the APA manual. For quick references I suggest you use The Owl at Purdue at: http://owl.english.purdue.edu/ or take time to view the APA tutorial at: http://flash1r.apa.org/apastyle/basics/index.htm
APA Cover Pages for this course must have the following:
§ Properly placed running head and page number
§ Title of the assignment
§ Your name
§ University affiliation
§ Course number and name
§ Date
§ Instructor’s name
Confidentiality and HIPPA: Please be aware that some assignments will be done on patients and/or volunteers. It is your duty as a medical professional to maintain and preserve patient confidentiality. ANY ASSIGNMENT that contains proper names or identification that can be misidentified as patient information will automatically receive a point deduction equivalent to 1 letter grade. This is especially true for volunteer patients since the instructor cannot make that determination.
All assignments are considered completed when received by the instructor of this course.
Late assignments will not be accepted and a grade of zero will be recorded.
Not Applicable. This is an online course and as such there are no mandatory sessions. However, the student should be vigilant in checking email and logging onto WebCT. Regular checks will insure that messages from the instructor are received in a timely manner.
