 Course and Program Specific Policies ATI Policy Tutorials (where applicable) Tutorials promote acquisition and application of information related to nursing concepts and skills. Students will be required to spend a minimum amount of time on most assigned tutorials. Times required will vary from tutorial to tutorial. Points awarded for tutorial assignments will be based on time spent (when applicable) and completion of activities (such as pre-tests and post-tests). You will submit evidence of tutorial hours and activities done to the course faculty as instructed to earn points toward the course grade. Practice Assessments and Focused Reviews (where applicable) Practice assessments help students to assess learning and prepare for proctored exams. Students should take the practice assessment the first time without prior knowledge of the questions and without looking answers up, as if it were a proctored exam. This will result in a focused review plan that accurately reflects learning needs and helps the students to prepare for proctored exams. Proctored Exams and Focused Reviews (where applicable) Proctored exams help students to assess content mastery and prepare for NCLEX-RN. The goal on these is to score at least a Level 2 on each proctored exam. This indicates the ability to meet NCLEX-RN standards in this content area.A focused review is always required after proctored exams. Please see the grading criteria section of the syllabus and directions in your course regarding specific ATI directions and grading parameters. Completion of ATI assignments are mandatory. ATI modules are assigned throughout the BSN program. All ATI assignments, if required, must be accessed within the term dates that the student is scheduled for the course, and completed and submitted by the stated deadlines. Each student must complete and turn in ALL course assignments, as instructed, in order to pass the course.
