XI. EVALUATION AND ASSESSMENTA. Theory
1. Tests announced or unannounced may be given throughout the course andmay incorporate various teaching/learning methods (for example: situational, multiple choice, discussion, performances, etc).
2. All nursing exams should be taken on the day they are scheduled. In the event of illness, bereavement, or court attendance, the student is required to notify the course coordinator or clinical instructor PRIOR to the test. Immediately upon return to campus, the student is required to submit documentation which supports the absence. A make-up exam will be given at the end of the semester IF appropriate documentation has been provided at the time of the absence.
3. Prior to each unit exam, the student will complete PrepU Pre-tests on the topic areas being tested. A minimum grade of 80% or mastery level must be achieved for admission to the unit exam. If the student does not complete the assignments according to posted deadlines, the student will not be allowed to take the exam and a make-up exam will be taken at the end of the semester.
4. All students are required to attend test reviews following exams. Students who score less than 75% on unit exams are required to complete a remediation assignment in the computer lab on a designated day. Students must score a minimum of 80% on the remediation assignment. Remediation assignments must be submitted to the instructor on the day of remediation.
STUDENTS WHO DO NOT COMPLETE REQUIRED REMEDIATION ASSIGNMENTS WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO TAKE THE NEXT UNIT EXAM AND WILL TAKE A MAKE-UP EXAM AT THE END OF THE SEMESTER.
5. If a make-up exam is to be taken for any reason, the student must complete a PrepU Pre-test assignment on the modules being tested before the exam can be taken. A minimum grade of 80% or mastery level must be achieved for admission to the make-up exam. Failure to complete the assignment with a minimum score of 80% or mastery level will result in a zero (0) for that make-up exam.
6. Required written assignments are due by the end of the scheduled class period.
B. Clinical
1. Performance in the clinical setting is evaluated according to the form, Evaluation of Clinical Performance. A final evaluation of satisfactory in clinical performance is required to progress in nursing. A rating of unsatisfactory in clinical performance will result in a grade of “F” for the nursing course regardless of any other grading component in the course.
2. Students may not attend clinical lab until they have successfully completed all required assignments in order to provide safe client care.
C. Computerized Tests
1. Students will be required to pay a testing fee to cover the expense of the Health Education Systems (HESI) tests. HESI tests are scheduled throughout the nursing curriculum. The testing fee for this semester is approximately $50.00 and is subject to change.
2. Students will be required to take the HESI Exit Exam in July. If the student does not pass the exam, he/she must participate in remediation as prescribed by the faculty and retake the HESI Exit Exam prior to program completion, for an additional fee of $50.00.
D. Course Grade
1. The course grade is a composite grade based on the following:a. Unit tests (65%)b. Computerized tests (HESI EXIT) (10%)c. Comprehensive final examination (25%)d. Clinical performance evaluation
Student must achieve a grade of 75% or above in each course to continue in the nursing program. A grade below 75% will result in a “D” or an “F” depending on the numerical score.
2. Course and instructor evaluation by each student is required.
3. Conference with the clinical instructor is required each semester.
4. In the event of a failing grade, students are urged to see their instructor for a conference.
XII. ATTENDANCEA. Students are expected to attend all classes for which they are registered. The
student must be present 80% of the scheduled class dates in order to demonstrate the expected course outcomes and successfully apply theoretical concepts to the clinical practicum. 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.
B. Students are expected to attend all clinical rotations required for each course. Only excused absences (a maximum of one) 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.
XIII. STATEMENT ON DISCRIMINATION/HARASSMENTThe 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.
XIV. AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIESThe 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. Please contact the ADA representative.
XV. COURSE CALENDAR Course Calendar will be provided to student by the first day of class.
