Catalog Description: The science of hearing and the etiologies of hearing impairment.
Professor: Jeanne Dodd-Murphy, Ph.D.
Office: Duncan 124B

Office hours: Mon., 9-11:30 a.m; Tues., 3:30-4:30 p.m.; Wed., 10-11:30 a.m., also available by
appointment
Course Text: Bess, F.H., & Humes, L.E. (2003). Audiology: The Fundamentals (3rd ed.).
Baltimore: Lippincott Williams & Wilkins.
Course packet available at SOS printing will also be required.
Course Outcomes: Students completing the course will
1. understand the anatomy and physiology of the auditory system (ASHA III-B, III-C)
2. identify and characterize various etiologies that cause hearing impairment, including
variations across cultural/ethnic populations (ASHA III-C)
3. understand the basic components of a typical audiological evaluation and be able to
interpret the results (ASHA III-D)
4. demonstrate hearing screening, pure tone threshold measurement, and tympanometry
(ASHA III-D)
In order to demonstrate these outcomes, students will need to receive a grade of at least 80% on
all exams and assignments.
Class Format: The teaching plan consists of lectures, demonstrations, including 'hands on'
experience, and group activities, with an observation component. Students are expected to have
read the material for each lecture before attending the related class. In addition, students will keep
a journal (online) describing their use of web resources related to the class topics (available on
WebCT under ‘class weblinks’) and fill in a chart categorizing disorders presented in class.
Note: Students enrolled in CD 5364 (for graduate credit) will be required to perform an
additional assignment not listed in this course description. Guidelines outlining additional work
are available on WebCT.
Course requirements:
3 exams
quizzes
web journal (guidelines on WebCT)
disorders chart (guidelines on WebCT)
1 final exam (practical & written components)
observation of 5 audiological evaluations (4 observations + your
own evaluation– need at least 5 signatures on your observation
log)
Exams:
Exam 1 will test knowledge of anatomy & physiology, and Exam 2 will assess
knowledge of auditory system pathology and disorders. These exams will be a
combination of multiple choice questions and short-answer and/or short discussion
questions. Exam 3 is an integrative exam that will assess knowledge of the basic
audiological evaluation (including interpretation of results). All exams will include
material presented both in the book and in class, with emphasis on in-class material.
Final:
The final exam will be divided into two parts. The practical component of the final will
require that each student demonstrate competencies in performing a listening check of
the audiometer, pure tone screening, pure tone thresholds and tympanometry. This will
be scheduled shortly before the end of the semester (tentative date December 3). The
report writing part of the final requires that the student use case history information and
audiological results to produce an audiological report using the ASU Communication
Disorders Clinic format. This will be done during the final exam period (see topic
outline for date/time).
Quizzes:
Quizzes will be available on WebCT and will be due periodically throughout the course
(about 8 times). The quizzes will have questions related both to information presented
in class as well as information from the assigned readings. These quizzes (done
individually) may be completed with the use of the student’s notes and textbook.
Observations: Each student is required to observe four (4) audiological evaluations. In addition each
student must have his or her own hearing tested. Scheduling will be discussed in class.
The observation time (including the time for your own evaluation) will be entered on a
clock hour sheet and must be signed by the audiologist in charge of the evaluation. All
observations must be completed and a copy of the signed time sheets turned in by
the beginning of class on November 29. Substantial penalty points will be
deducted from the final course grade if complete documentation of the
observations is not turned in by the deadline. Observers are expected to dress
appropriately for a professional environment.
Evaluation/Grading:
Exams 1-3
Quiz Average
Web Journal
Disorders Chart
The final exam (practical + written)
45% (15% each)
10%
10%
5%
30% (15% each)
If a student does not meet the 80% criterion, a meeting with the instructor is required in order to develop a
plan for the student to learn and show mastery of the competencies that were not demonstrated.
The signed observation hours must be turned in by November 29 to avoid late penalties taken from the final
course grade.
Grades are based on the following grading system:
A 94 to 100
A- 90 to 93
B+ 87 to 89
B 84 to 86
B- 80 to 83
C+ 77 to 79
C 74 to 76
C- 70 to 73
Attendance:
ASU's policy is that class attendance is an important part of your learning experience. Students are expected to
attend class. You are responsible for ALL MATERIAL PRESENTED, whether or not you are in class that day
(this includes any course administrative changes). Ask another student for notes if you miss any part of class.
You MUST LET ME KNOW IN ADVANCE if you are going to miss an exam in order to be eligible for a
make-up exam, even if you have a valid reason for failing to attend a test. Attendance at the required
observations is mandatory as stated above. The process for notifying students of a class postponement due to
inclement weather will be discussed on the first day of class.
Announcements will be posted throughout the course on WebCT. Students will be responsible for checking
the WebCT calendar frequently to keep up-to-date on class announcements. Do not expect to receive an
in-class reminder about posted information!!! Links to helpful websites, along with other resources for the
class will be included on WebCT. Grades will also be posted on WebCT.
