Students who chose to review missed items will return to the registration room and wait for Exam Review with Rationale to begin at the designated time.

NOTE: DO NOT wait outside of the exam room if any testing is occurring in the computer labs

Violation of the testing policy will result in disciplinary action up to and including possible dismissal from the nursing program.

Appropriate adjustments are made for students who meet the criteria of the Americans with Disabilities Act.

12. Evaluation of Examinations: After each exam, the faculty uses psychometric principles to evaluate the examination. Items missed by 50% or more of the class are reviewed. If an item is found to be flawed, the faculty may give credit for more than one answer or nullify the item. That is, if a student answered the item as originally keyed, the student will retain the credit for the item. If a student’s answer differs from the one originally keyed, the student is credited for the nullified item. In other words, everyone gets credit for the item and no one loses credit.

13. Exam Review with Rationales is conducted after each exam to allow students to view incorrect responses and rationales for the exam item. With the exception of final exams. This session is time limited. Students will be allotted a specific number of minutes, based upon the length of the exam (for example, students will have 8 minutes to review missed items on a 50-item exam). Students are not required to attend Exam Review with Rationales. If a student chooses not to attend the Exam Review with Rationales session, the student is not eligible for an individual test review session with an assigned instructor.

14. Students will return to the same exam room and same computer for Exam Review with Rationales. Exam Review with Rationales must be conducted on the same computer as the exam. The same policies listed for testing apply to the Exam Review with Rationale Session. The following rules also apply:

   a. All belongings must remain in the classroom or the student’s vehicle.

   b. Students are not allowed to talk amongst themselves during this session.

   c. Students who arrive late for Exam Review with Rationales will not be given

additional review time.

   d. Students will log into the Review of Rationales using the following steps:

      1. Enter the Exam Password

      2. Enter the Review Password

 

Note: Students only have 3 attempts to enter the correct Review Password. Students are encouraged to request assistance from faculty/proctor after 2 unsuccessful attempts.

15. During the Exam Review with Rationales session: Disruptive behavior will not be tolerated. If students become disruptive, faculty will end the Exam Review with Rationales Session for all students. Upon completion of the Exam Review the students will sign out of the Exam Soft or Examplify application and quietly leave the testing room.

16. If a student scores less than a 75 on a unit examination, the student is required to make an appointment with an instructor prior to the next examination. At that time, the student and instructor will review the examination and, with the assistance of the instructor, identify strategies to improve performance on subsequent examinations. If a student, who scores less than 75 on a unit examination, fails to review with and instructor, 5 points may be deducted from the next unit examination. Students are required to make an appointment prior to the day before the exam.

17. Registration and Payment of Fees for Required resources are considered as a Pass or Fail Assignment. If the student does not register and pay for these at the scheduled time, the student will receive a 0 on the assignment.

 

The following method will be used to determine each student grade in the course:

 

Purchase of Required Resources by Deadlines Pass/Fail Assignment (example, BON fees)

 

Daily/Computer Work      5% Grade

 

Exam I                                18.3% Grade

 

Exam II                               18.3% Grade

 

Exam III                              18.4% Grade

 

FINAL                                  30 % Grade

 

 

HESI Conversion score = 10% of Grade

 

19. Late assignment submissions will incur a late point penalty. In most courses the

late penalty will be a deduction of 5 points if turned in 1 day after the

assignment due date. Another 5 points will be deducted if the assignment is

turned in 2 days after the assignment due date. If the assignment is turned in 3

days late a 15-point penalty will be deducted. Any assignment submitted after 3

days will be assigned a zero for the assignment. Previous arrangements between

the student and instructor for late work may allow for a reduced late point

penalty, but all late submissions will have a late penalty deducted.

 

NOTE: This does not include pass/fail computer assignments such as Pass Point, Swift River, Davis Advantage etc. Late submission of those assignments will result in an automatic zero unless previous arrangements between student and instructor is made.

20. A minimum average of 75%, independent of all other requirements, is necessary

to pass the course. Daily activity grades (example: discussion board post,

classroom/computer assignments, etc.) will not be included in grade calculations

until 75% average on exams is achieved. No grades will be rounded until the final

course average; this includes weighted exam average.
