If you have a disability or need special accommodations, it is your
responsibility to notify the instructor.
GRADING AND EVALUATION STRATEGIES.
Exams will be electronically administered and vary in number according to the
amount of material in each of the units. Generally each exam will consist
of about fifteen (15) questions (true-false, multiple choice, multiple answer, or short answer).
01 Typically each question will be valued
at three points.
02 You will be allowed one minute
for each question.
03
Each exam will be posted for a three (3) day period.
04 You will be notified a
minimum of 7 days before each exam in the announcement section of the Blackboard
system.
05
Electronic exams have time limits and they will record the amount of time that
is used for each exam. For each minute or part there of that you exceed
the grace period of 31 seconds, a penalty of 3 points will be applied.
Optional. An open book exam for each unit will be administered following the completion
of Units II, III, and IV. Each of these exams will consist of a minimum of
fifty (50) questions.
A minimum of fifteen journal reports, problem sets, and/or case
studies are required. Each will have a 25 point value. Additionally, each unit
will have a minimum of five (5) 'think-about-it' questions with a point value
ranging from five (5) to ten (10) points. Any of these assignments, if
turned in late, will receive a late penalty assessment. To 'turn in' these
assignments, they must be remitted electronically by email or as a hard
copy. The instructor has both Corel Word Perfect
X3 and Microsoft
Word. It has been found in the past that some students will use a software
program that is not compatible with that of the instructor. In this case,
you may be required to turn in hard copies of your assignments.
An affective domain grade (100 points) will be assessed and will be
based, in part, upon the following factors. Refer to the current Student
handbook for a detailed review of affective domain criteria.
01 Completion of all assignments in
a timely manner.
02 Acceptance of
responsibility for your own work.
03 Giving of attention to
instructions and following as requested by the instructor and/or in the written
instructions.
04 Demonstrating integrity by
performing one's own work. NOTE:
IF any assignments are turned in that are identical or near-identical in wording
to another, both will be construed to be plagiarized and given a grade of
zero. Such work cannot be made up.
REPORTING THE SEMESTER GRADE.
Semester grades are posted electronically. Semester grades are posted
as soon as all assignments and exams are evaluated and scored.
IMPORTANT
If you have questions/concerns regarding any of
the assignments and the grading associated with these, you have five classroom
days in which to bring those concerns to the instructor for resolution. Failure
to do so constitutes agreement and satisfaction with the assigned grade.
It is your responsibility to keep up with ALL required assignments. It is
imperative that you check your ASU student email on a regular basis throughout
the semester. This includes up to the last day of the semester. Instructional
strategies utilize the electronic systems of email, blackboard 6, and other web
online resources. Sometimes the assignments that you tried to send via
electronic means disappears into an electronic void and the instructor never
receives it. If you do not get a verification of the electronic submission,
contact the instructor. Always keep a copy of work that you completed for this
reason until the semester is completed.
REPORTING THE SEMESTER GRADE
Semester grades are posted electronically.
Semester grades are posted as soon as all assignments and exams are evaluated
and scored.
GRADE RETENTION POLICY
The nature of clinical laboratory sciences is
based on several scientific disciplines. In order to graduate from the CLS
(baccalaureate) Program, the student must strive to maintain an average GPA of a
2.50 or better in all of the CLS and core scientific courses combined, which
include courses prefixed with CLS, CHEM, BIOL, ZOOL, or MATH. This will also
include physics courses if these are included in your plan of study. It has been
established that students with a minimum GPA of 2.50 in CLS and core science
courses have the greatest success in passing the national certification exam on
the first attempt. The average student may receive a combination of C’s, B’s,
and A’s in the CLS courses and other science courses and continue to maintain
the 2.50 GPA. See the Student Handbook for more information about grades and
retention.
If you are ill or involved in an emergency, where possible, it is professional
courtesy to call the Health Professions Department (870-972-3073) and notify the
instructor or secretary of your inability to meet the obligations of this
course. You may remit an email instead of a phone call. If your illness is
extended, it is appropriate to substantiate such illness with documentation from
your health care provider. Make-up work for an approved absence must be
completed within five classroom days after returning to your computer. You may
need to consult with the instructor if there are problems.
