TITLE IX STATEMENT: Ivy Tech Community College is committed to providing all members of the College community with a learning and work environment free from sexual harassment and assault. Ivy Tech students have options for getting help if they have experienced sexual assault, relationship violence, sexual harassment or stalking. This information can be found at https://www.ivytech.edu/prevent-sexual-violence/index.html. If students write or speak about having survived sexual violence, including rape, sexual assault, dating violence, domestic violence, or stalking, federal law and Ivy Tech policies require that instructors share this information with the Campus Title IX Coordinator. The Campus Title IX Coordinator will contact students to let them know about accommodations and support services at the College and in the community as well as options for holding accountable the person who harmed them. When contacted, students are not required to speak with the Campus Title IX Coordinator. If students do not want the Title IX Coordinator notified, instead of disclosing this information to their instructor, students can speak confidentially with certain individuals at the College or in the community. A list of these individuals can be found at https://www.ivytech.edu/prevent-sexualviolence/index.html under Confidential Employees and/or Community Resources. METHODS OF DELIVERY: It is my expectation that you come to class having reviewed the chapter readings so that we can discuss the information.  Didactic presentations  Discussions  Small group work  Examinations  Handouts  Audiovisuals  Case study reviews  Collaborative and independent study  Power Point presentations MATH: Math is considered a cumulative skill. Once taught it is the responsibility of the student to retain the knowledge between testing dates. Self-study and utilizing the text throughout the program is strongly encouraged. Math problems will also be included on unit exams in every course. Please see math policy in your Nursing Handbook Math Test – no math test required for this course. Math calculations (10%) will be part of all exams. METHODS OF EVALUATION:

The scantron is the official answer sheet, or record of your work. While you may have the correct answer in your test booklet, it is considered a worksheet and not the official answer sheet. Each student is responsible for making sure his or her final answers are submitted accurately on the answer sheet. Testing Etiquette: Students must place book bags and purses along the walls during tests. Once a test has started, students will not be permitted to leave the classroom until they have completed the test. Therefore, be prepared; use the restroom before coming to class, have 2 pencils, and any other needed items i.e. tissues, cough drops, or drink. If a student leaves the classroom he/she cannot come back into the classroom until everyone has finished the test. Once a student has completed a test they must leave the classroom and will not be allowed to re-enter until everyone has completed the test. While waiting on others to finish testing, do not congregate in the hall outside the test classroom. A late exam is any exam not taken at the designated date and time. Exams will begin promptly at 8:30 am. If a student is tardy, a 5% deduction will be made for tardiness the day of the missed exam until 5:00pm that same day. If a student is tardy and takes the exam on the scheduled exam date, the 5% penalty will be incurred. Make-up exams are subject to an initial 10% reduction in the exam grade, with a 10% deduction for each day late. The student must contact the course facilitator on the day of the exam (BEFORE class begins) to make arrangements for the missed exam. Any missed exam must be made up within three (3) days of the exam day excluding days when the campus is closed. Make-up exams must be taken at the Academic Support Center (ASC) in the AND60 building. You must call the ASC and SCHEDULE a time to take the exam. Extenuating circumstances are evaluated at the discretion of the course facilitator. Make up test will NOT be given during class, clinical, or lab time. Each exam will have 50 questions and will be worth 50 points each. The final exam will be a cumulative exam with 100 questions worth 100 points. There will be NO extra credit. You will have seventy (70) minutes on each exam and two (2) hours and 10 minutes (10) for the final exam. Exam Scoring: Exams will be calculated at 90% of the grade. Assignments will be calculated at 10% of the grade. If there are no assignments, the exams will count as 100% of the grade. If a 75% or less is received on a test, the student is required to meet with the facilitator to review and include in the students success plan. This is the student responsibility to allow time to complete this form within 48 hours of the exam. No student test review/read back will be given until every student has taken the test.

Examinations and Assignments: To successfully pass this course, an average of 75% must be achieved at the end of the course. If there are any required assignments (homework) during the course, the total percentage on the assignments will be calculated as 10% of the final course grade. Exams will be calculated at 90% of the grade. Calculating Final Grades Example The calculation will include two steps: one for 90% of exams and quizzes, the other for 10% of assignments. Total number of possible points for exams: 500 pts. 1. Divide the number of points the student earned by the total number of points for all course exams and multiply this by 0.90. This will give you a total percent for the exams weighted at the necessary 90%. a. Student total scores for exams 435 ÷ 500 x .90 = 78.4 (step one) 2. Divide the number of points a student earned on assignments by the total number of points for course assignments and multiply this by 0.10. This will give you a total percent for the assignments weighted at the necessary 10%. a. Student total scores for assignments 133 ÷ 155 x .10 = 8.5% (step two) 3. Add both percentages together and that is the total percentage for the class. This is the final percent earned by the student for this course and per Ivy Tech Community College policy, is not rounded.

Classroom: Students are expected to attend all lecture sessions. Attendance is necessary to maximize student learning opportunities. Students who are absent are responsible for missed material. Attendance will be kept for the purpose of financial aid qualifications. Students must be in their seat and ready to learn when class begins at 8:30 am. If the student arrives late and the door has been shut and lecture/exam has begun, the student must wait until the next break before entering the room to elevate class disruptions.

It serves the purpose of letting students know what is expected of them during and by the completion of this course. It is not meant to be, nor should it be construed as a contract. This syllabus is only a learning guide. As such, it may be adjusted by the instructor as deemed necessary to facilitate student learning. CERTIFICATION/LICENSURE TRAINING DISCLAIMER: Ivy Tech cannot guarantee that any student will pass a certification or licensing exam. Your success will be determined by several factors beyond the instruction you are given in the classroom including your test-taking skills, your willingness to study outside of class, and your satisfactory completion of appropriate practice exams.

The goal of Ivy Tech is to provide a foundation for your studies as you prepare for the exam.

Tape recorders are not allowed in the classroom unless prior approval is obtained from the instructor.
