CLASSROOM POLICIES AND PROCEDURES:
ATTENDANCE POLICY:
It is essential that educational programs maintain requirements and standards
necessary for successful employment of its graduates in business and industry.
In view of the intensive nature of the educational programs, it is necessary for
every student to be present and on time every day for all classes. Therefore,
there are no excused absences from any course. Attendance is counted from
the first scheduled class meeting of each quarter. If the student misses more
than ten (10) percent in any course during a quarter, the student is subject to
being dismissed from the course involved. Three (3) tardies or early departures
equal one (1) absence for the course involved.
The student WILL be dropped for absence greater than 10%. In this course,
one day is 10%; any missed time exceeding this 10% will result in the student
being dropped from the course. THERE IS NO ATTENDANCE APPEAL
PROCEDURE!

This course requires class participation of at least 3 hours of didactic work
and 2 hours of lab participation is required. Keeping current on homework
assignments and problem solving is essential in this type of class.
Assigned reading should be done prior to class so as to make proper use
of class-time and assigned activities to be completed as directed by the
instructor.
Complete assignments on time. Incomplete assignments will NOT be
accepted.
Late assignments will NOT be accepted. Due dates are on your calendar
and will be adhered to!
To protect the integrity of the course, online quizzes / tests may be
password protected and can be accessed as designated by the instructor.
The student will have a timed access for each test/quiz.
All tests/quizzes MUST be taken without the used of textbook, handouts,
notes, friends, family, etc.
Make-up test will be scheduled by the instructor and must be taken at the
assigned time (after the final exam) or a grade of zero will be given in
place of the test. Make up tests will not be allowed to interfere with class,
lab or clinical time. No make-up quizzes will be given!
SAFETY: Please refer to the Echocardiography Program Handbook and Clinical
Manual.
DISTRIBUTION OF GRADES:
Evaluation of the student’s achievement of the course objectives will be based on
satisfactory completion of all required activities. Grading to be computed as
follows:
 A grade of 85 % or better is required for Scan Lab Test
 Lab tests will be a demonstration in which the student will be required to
perform select tasks as defined by the objectives while the instructor
observes and evaluates the performance. Student will be graded using
the CVT 110 Lab Rubric. A student who fails to master procedures lab
tests will be subject to disciplinary action. A lab test grade of 85 % or
better is required to proceed to the next quarter classes.
o You will have 3 attempts to pass the lab exam with a grade of
85. If unsuccessful, you can not sit for the final and will
receive a WP or WF depending on the grade you have
received in class up to this point. Refer to the OTC student
handbook for policy on readmission to the sonography
program.

Code of Conduct
Academic Policies:
“The term "cheating" includes, but is not limited to: (1) use of any unauthorized
assistance in taking quizzes, tests, or examinations; (2) dependence upon the
aid of sources beyond those authorized by the instructor in writing papers,
preparing reports, solving problems, or carrying
out other assignments; or (3) the acquisition, without permission, of tests or other
academic material belonging to a member of the Technical College faculty or
staff.
The term "plagiarism" includes, but is not limited, to, the use, by paraphrase or
direct quotation, of the published or unpublished work of another person without
full and clear acknowledgment. It also includes the unacknowledged use of
materials prepared by another person or agency engaged in the selling of term
papers or other academic materials.”
For further explanations of the above information, please refer to the Ogeechee
Technical College Student Handbook and Planner.
“Academic misconduct is any act that does or could improperly distort students’
grades or other student academic records. A student enrolls at Ogeechee
Technical College to gain technical skills to lead to greater employability.
Academic misconduct is not only “cheating” the student of learning the needed
skills; it is an offense to the academic integrity of the learning environment. All
forms of academic dishonesty will call for discipline.”
Ogeechee Technical College Student Handbook and Planner.
Alteration of any grade sheets through changing scores or filling in of
blank spaces after being graded is considered cheating. A student
dismissed for cheating or plagiarism will not be eligible for re-entry.
DISABILITY STATEMENT
Students with disabilities who believe that they may need accommodations in this
class based on the impact of the disability are encouraged to contact Penny
Hendrix in the Special Services Office, Room 332C, Kennedy Bldg., 912-4867211, to coordinate reasonable accommodations.
WORK ETHICS
Students will receive a work ethics grade each quarter for each fundamental and
specific course in which they enroll. The work ethics grade of 3, 2, 1, or 0 will not
affect the student’s academic grade point average (GPA). Work ethics grades
will appear on the student’s quarterly Student Grade Reports and Transcripts.
Performance factors and indicators include, but are not limited to, quality of work,
ability to follow instructions, productivity, dependability, honesty, reliability,
attendance and punctuality, attitude, integrity, enthusiasm, interpersonal skills,
and initiative. The work ethics grade descriptions are
Exceeds expectations:

WARRANTY STATEMENT:
The Department of Technical and Adult Education guarantees employers that
graduates of State Technical Colleges shall possess skills and knowledge as
prescribed by State Curriculum Standards. Should any graduate employee
within two years of graduation be deemed lacking in said skills, that student shall
be retrained in any State Technical College at no charge for instructional costs to
either the student or the employer.
DISCLAIMER
The instructor reserves the right to amend or correct this course syllabus as
necessary. If the instructor amends or corrects this syllabus, students will be
