IX. EVALUATION AND ASSESSMENT There will be at least 5 examinations and a final exam. Questions on each test will be primarily objective and may include: multiple choice, fill in the blank, true/false, matching, select all that apply, pharmacological, dosage calculations (no multiple choice), and short answer. Diagrams will also be used as well as laboratory requirements. Only answers on the scantron or the instructor provided answer sheet will be considered. Answers coded wrong on the scantron by the student but right on the test booklet will not be accepted for credit. Students should also expect to have preparation quizzes each day. If a student needs to discuss a question or concern with the instructor, the student should make an appointment on the same day following the test review. If a student is absent on the day of a test review, it will be the student’s responsibility to schedule an appointment with the instructor to review the exam. Students will be allowed to view tests one time only, after it has been taken, either in class or by appointment with the instructor. Students will not be allowed to see weekly tests just prior to taking the final exam. Students will be required to take monitored Saunders and ATI computer tests. Prior to taking the scheduled monitored Saunders/ATI computer exam, the student must turn in at least 3 attempts verified with score sheets of the scheduled exam with at least one score of 75 or greater. Students will lose 5 points if the exam is not taken on the scheduled date. (Refer to the ATI testing policy). The computer exams will be averaged together and count as a standalone grade. The student will be allowed to use a calculator for any math problems on the exam. The student must bring his/her own calculator. Students may not share calculators during the exam. Cell phones, pilots, etc. will not be allowed in the classroom during exams. Only a standard calculator will be allowed. Students will be required to do drug sheets as assigned. The information contained on the drug sheets will be used to give a comprehensive pharmacology exam at the end of the semester. It will be the student’s responsibility to keep copies of each drug sheet. No rounding of test scores (daily, weekly, or final exam) will be done (78.6 is 78.6). Only the final course grade average will be rounded: 0.5 or higher will be raised to the next whole number (Example 79.5 or higher will be rounded to 80). A student must have a 75 or better average in nursing courses to pass and be allowed to progress in the nursing program. A student must pass theory and clinical of NUR 107 in order to pass the course. The theory component will be averaged with exams counting 65% and the final counting 35%. Failure in one component (either theory or clinical) will constitute a failure in the course regardless of the course average. All students will have to pass the pre-clinical math exam with a grade of 80 or higher. Students that are unsuccessful on the first attempt will be allowed to repeat the exam only once. The retake will be an entirely different test, not the same one. A student must make a passing grade of 80% to be allowed to go to clinical. The first take, if below 80, will be averaged together with the retake for a test grade in the nursing course that the student is registered for (NUR 105, NUR 107, or another course if student is out of progression, ie, NUR 106). Students who are unable to pass the pre-clinical math exam on the second attempt must drop from the course with a clinical component and any nursing co-requisites. At this time, the student should either plan an intensive independent review on his/her own, or repeat the course in which he/she failed to successfully learn the necessary competencies.

Students will not be allowed to see weekly tests just prior to taking the final exam. They must be viewed prior to the week before exams.

**Students must pass the clinical component as well as the theory component in order to pass the course. See clinical syllabus for clinical requirements..

*All course work, including makeup tests, assignments, remediation, and make-up time must be completed prior to being eligible to take the Final exam. The student will only be allowed (1) opportunity to take the final exam and it will be recorded as the final exam grade. No retakes will be given on the final exam. The student will be required to make high enough on the final exam to average in for a passing average of 75 according to the required percentage (theory portion 65% and final exam 35%).

Make-Up work Requirements Policy

If a student is absent or tardy on the day of an exam/test/computer test, and the absence/tardy is excused, (student must have called or emailed a faculty or staff member within the Health Careers Department on the day of the absence/tardy, have a written medical excuse that they (the enrolled student or an immediate family member) has received medical attention on the day of the absence/tardy; OR a copy of an obituary in the case of an immediate family member’s death (mother, father, children, spouse, mother-in-law, father-in-law, grandparent or grandparent-in-law, sister, grandchildren or guardian), he or she will have a 2 week period to take the make- up exam/test/computer test, and the make-up test time will have to be scheduled with the instructor or designee. If the student does not take the make-up exam/test/computer test within the allotted two week time frame at the scheduled time, he or she will receive a zero for the exam. Make-up exams/test/computer tests may not be the same as that given on the assigned test date. All missed time in the practical nursing program will have to be made up except for one excused class period per course. Make-up work will be assigned by the instructor. Students who have missed time should see the instructor as soon as possible to complete missed exams/test/computer tests and to begin doing their makeup assignment. Points will be deducted for assignments that are turned in late. All missed assignments/exams/tests/computer exams and make-up time must be completed the week before final exams. It is the student’s responsibility to be on time for class. If a student is late on a test day and the test has been passed out, the student will not be allowed to enter into the room and begin testing as this distracts fellow students.

Policy on Posting of Final Course Grades Health Careers Division -Practical Nursing

Reid State Technical College

Final Course Grades: Final exam grades and final course averages will not be given out at the end of the semester. Final course grades will be posted on-line and it will be the responsibility of the student to access their grades. A student must have their student identification number (not social security number) in order to access on-line information. If a student has any questions concerning their course grade, the student must contact Ms. Jamila or Ms. Joyner (Biology Instructor) to set up an appointment to review final course averages with the course instructor. This will be done at a time convenient to faculty. Students are encouraged to keep up with their grades and to know their grade average prior to taking the final exam. Students will be given a form for each course on which to document grades as they are accrued. Students will be given a mid-term average and each instructor will let students know where they stand the week before the final exam. It is the responsibility of the student to follow through on obtaining this information if they are absent the day the instructor passes out this information. Students should access their grades in a timely manner to determine if they are eligible to participate in the pinning ceremony and/or need a schedule adjustment to progress in the program.

POLICY ON “P” QUIZZES

1. Students should also expect to have preparation quizzes each day. The preparation quizzes will be given randomly in class and will question the student on content that he/she should have read prior to class. 2. Students will not be allowed to make-up preparation quizzes. These quizzes will be averaged together for one major test grade. Preparation quizzes will be given randomly during class sessions. This could include at the beginning, in the middle, or the end of class. 3.The P quizzes may consist of multiple choice, essay, matching, and diagrams. P quizzes could consist of from one to ten questions. The material covered in the P Quizzes will include the learning objectives, key terms, chapter readings, and other assigned material deemed by the instructor. If the content being covered is from one chapter, the P quiz will be taken from the learning objectives and key terms for that particular chapter. If the content being covered is coming from one or more chapters, the P quiz will be taken from the learning objectives and key terms included in the first two chapters. This should provide the student a basis to prepare for class.

Nursing Lab Policy

The following guidelines have been established to assist the nursing student to be successful in courses with a classroom lab component. 1. Study both the theory and lab chapter component that correspond to the assigned Modules-see each course calendar syllabus. 2. Watch the “Skills Videos” that accompany your text book for each of the modules. You have purchased these from the RSTC bookstore.


14

3. Students must have purchased (from the RSTC bookstore) the necessary lab equipment for simulated labs, and are responsible for bringing their own equipment to each class session. Sharing of equipment and using another student’s equipment is not recommended. 4. Students are required to practice in the simulated lab area PRIOR to the day of check-off with an instructor and/or instructional staff. The students will need additional practice time outside of the scheduled class time. This can be done after school or at home. Students will not do invasive procedures on live specimen in the classroom setting nor at home. Students are encouraged to use the mannequins in the lab. Students should bring their own equipment for practice sessions and are responsible for maintaining a safe lab area by straightening up and returning equipment and mannequins to their proper location of storage after each practice session. 5. Laboratory skills will be evaluated through graded check-offs and written exams in the classroom, lab and in the clinical settings. These will be a variety of skills. Charting skills will be a part of the evaluation process for the skills check off and will be part of the grade. 6. Students must document at least three practice sessions before lab check-offs will be allowed for a grade. Practice sessions can be with an instructor, lab assistant, another student, or another individual. The “Skills Check-off Practice Verification Form” must be signed by the person observing YOU practicing the skill. At least one signature must be with an instructor, lab assistant or instructional staff member. This ensures that the student has prepared for the check-off since the student only gets two chances to pass the skill(s) or they fail the check-off and have to withdraw from the course. (See #8 below). 7. The course instructor will post available lab practice times that she and/or the lab assistant will be available to observe groups of students and to sign the required “Skills Check off Practice Verification Forms.” A member of the instructional staff will be available only during the posted times to assist groups of students with review and practice of any needed skills. It is recommended that the students have actually read and practiced the skill(s), and watched the “Skills Videos” PRIOR to the supervised practice time. It is the student’s responsibility to wisely manage their time schedule and to be available during at least one of the posted practice sessions. Not attending one of the posted practice sessions with an instructional staff and not obtaining the required staff signature prior to the day of the scheduled graded skill check-off will cause the student to not be allowed to return the procedure on the scheduled date, in addition to having a deduction of 5 points for that specific skill. It is the student’s responsibility to set up a time and date with the instructor to do any make-up and/or redo procedure for a grade. 8. Students will be given two chances to pass all clinical skills. If the student passes the skill on the first try, he/she will be given a grade of 75-100 for that skill. If the student fails the check-off on the first attempt, a second attempt will be given after the student has time to practice and remediate. On the second attempt, the student’s grade will be assessed and the second attempt will be averaged with the first attempt. Both grades averaged together must be a 75 or higher for the student to pass the skill. The student will not be given the better grade of the two check-offs grades. Example: if the student makes a 70 on the first attempt, then he/she will have to make an 80 on the second attempt to have a passing grade of”75”. If after two attempts the student is unable to pass a critical skill, he/she will have to repeat the course with the skills lab component (and my not enroll in clinical or nursing co-requisites). If a student has to repeat a procedure, it is recommended that the student does this within two weeks, since each skill builds on previous learned knowledge. It is the student’s responsibility to contact the instructor to set up a time and date to do the repeat procedure. This time may be before or after scheduled class/lab time. 9. Students must be present and prepared on the day of check-offs unless extenuating circumstances prevent them from doing so. This must be adequately documented. A deduction of 5 points will be deducted from each graded skill check-off if for any reason the student does not do the check-off on the assigned date. Leaving for an appointment, not being prepared, not having the required equipment or leaving for work, etc. are not acceptable excuses so students should plan their time wisely.


15

10. It is the students responsible to set up a time and date with the instructor to do any make-up and/or redo procedure(s) for a grade. 11. If a student has not completed the check-offs the week before the scheduled final, the student will not be allowed to take the final exam and in this case an incomplete will be given in the course. NO check-offs will be done the week of the Final Exam. 12. As part of the lab-check-off grades is the completion aspect of your grade. This will also include putting up the equipment, supplies, and straightening the environment, etc. If one does not do this, points will be deducted.

X. ATTENDANCE Students are expected to attend all classes for which they are registered. Students who are unable to attend class regularly, regardless of the reason or circumstance, should withdraw from that class before poor attendance interferes with the student’s ability to achieve the objectives required in the course. Withdrawal from class can affect eligibility for federal financial aid. Withdrawal from class can prohibit progression in nursing and allied health programs. Students are expected to attend all clinical rotations required for each course. Only excused absences will be considered for make up. However, due to limited clinical space and time, clinical make up days cannot be guaranteed. Failure to complete clinical rotations will prohibit progression in nursing and allied health programs. See clinical syllabus for additional information.

XI. STATEMENT ON DISCRIMINATION/HARASSMENT The College and the Alabama Board of Education are committed to providing both employment and educational environments free of harassment or discrimination related to an individual’s race, color, gender, religion, national origin, age, or disability. Such harassment is a violation of State Board of Education policy. Any practice or behavior that constitutes harassment is a violation of State Board of Education policy. Any practice or behavior that constitutes harassment or discrimination will not be tolerated.

XII. AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES The Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (Section 504) and the American with Disabilities Act of 1990 state that qualified students with disabilities who meet the essential functions and academic requirements are entitled to reasonable accommodations. It is the student’s responsibility to provide appropriate disability documentation to the College.
