EVALUATION:
There will be a total of two 100 point examinations. All exams may be
comprehensive. Quizzes/Homework will be given at the instructor’s discretion.
The CPR quiz must be completed with a score of 80% or greater. Two retests
will be offered on this quiz, if required.
An “S” grade is required on the evaluation of each skill discussed and
demonstrated. Failure to achieve an “S” grade within three attempts or within ten
days of the assigned date will result in a “U” grade for the skill and an “F” for the
course, regardless of the theory grade achieved.
The final course grade will be calculated as follows:
Exams = 40%
Homework/Quizzes = 20%
Attendance = 40%
XII.
SPECIFIC MANAGEMENT REQUIREMENTS:
To meet the objectives of the course, students must attend all scheduled classes.
At the beginning of the quarter, all instructors will pass out a class schedule that
lists all class meetings. If a student must miss a class due to extenuating
circumstances, then the student is expected to call and inform the instructor by
either talking with the instructor or leaving a message should the instructor not be
available.
Any student, who misses a scheduled competency, either demonstration or checkoff, must make an appointment with the instructor within one week of return to
school to make up this portion of class. Failure to do so will result in a “U” for
the competency, therefore, failure for the course. It is the student’s responsibility
to make these arrangements.
