Final Exam Date	August 2, 2023 - 8:00 AM
Grading Scale	90-100 = A 80-89 = B 75-79 = C 60-74 = D Below 60 = F
Determination of Final Grade	Examinations are based on course objectives. Course content from the biological and behavioral sciences as well as previous medical knowledge is included on exams as appropriate. Students are strongly encouraged to take exams as scheduled. If a student must miss an exam, the student must contact the instructor prior to the exam or within twenty-four (24) hours of the exam. No make-up unit exams are given. The numerical grade attained on the Comprehensive Final exam is substituted for one missed unit exam. Any other exams missed will receive a zero. A specified amount of time will be set for testing. No questions may be asked during the exams. No hats/caps/hoodies/smart watches/personal possessions other than keys, earbuds, and a pencil may be brought into the exam. Students who arrive after the exam starts, but before it ends, may take the exam without penalty. No additional time is provided for late arrivals and student should come in quietly taking the first available seat. Once the exam period ends from the scheduled start time the student who arrived late must exit the exam. Questions unanswered will be counted wrong. Test times for exams will be set up for 60 minutes per unit exam and 120 minutes for final exams. 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. When an item is nullified, the key is changed so that all answers are credited as correct. That is, if a student answered the item as originally keyed, the student will retain the credit for the item. If a students 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. If a student scores less than 75% on a unit examination, the student MUST make an appointment within one week with one of the course faculty. During the conference the student and instructor will review the examination and, with the assistance of the instructor, identify factors that may have contributed to the student's poor performance and identify strategies to improve performance on future examinations. Any challenge to exam questions must be presented on provided form prior to exiting the testing room and supporting evidence from approved resources of requested alternate answer must be emailed to course instructor within 24 hours of taking the exam. Disputed exam items must be submitted by the student along with proposed answer supported by documentation from the current textbook, handouts, and/or lecture reference material. During the exam review there should be no discussions with faculty or other students. The following method will be used to determine each student's grade in the course: Ch. 22-23 Cardiothoracic Surgery Exam..............Grade = 15% Ch.18-19 Maxillofacial and Plastic Exam..............Grade = 15% Ch. 16 Ophthalmic Surgery Exam.........................Grade = 15% Ch. 24 Neurosurgery Exam...................................Grade = 15% Daily Work.............................................................Grade = 20% Final.......................................................................Grade = 20% ...............................................................................Total 100% The numerical grade attained on the Comprehensive Final exam is substituted for one missed unit exam. Any other exams missed will receive a zero. Daily Work Grades will include: Workbook assignments, Group Presentations, Assignments, Quizzes, Specialty Exams, etc. Daily Work Grade will not be included in grade calculation until 75% weighted exam average is achieved. No grades will be rounded until the Final Course average; this includes the Weighted Exam Average. Course assignment submissions must be submitted correctly within Blackboard. A student will be allowed one submission per semester to be cleared by course instructor. Any further incorrect submissions will result in a zero for the assignment submission. Final exams are not available for review by the student and Final exam grades are not posted. A final course grade of 75% and successful completion of ALL assignments is necessary for a student to pass this course. Required assignments and specific dates for work to be turned in must be met by the student. Unless turned in by the deadline there will be a drop in grade for lateness. Previous arrangements between the student and instructor for late work may allow for a reduced late point penalty. Grammar and sentence structure, spelling, legibility, neatness and following directions as to organization are related to acceptable quality in both written and oral assignments.
Course Policies
Instructor Policies	Only students enrolled in the course are allowed in the classroom, except by special instructor permission. No food or tobacco products are allowed in the classroom. Electronic devices (including but not restricted to cell phones, MP3 players, smart watches and laptop computers) shall not be used during examinations unless specifically allowed by the instructor. Use of electronic devices during normal class hours distracts other students, disrupts the class, and wastes valuable time. Instructors have an obligation to reduce such disruptions. Students should turn their phones to vibrate before they enter the classroom. No cell phones should be visible during class without faculty permission. Use of tobacco products is prohibited on all LSCPA properties at any time. Additional classroom policies include: Students and faculty of the Lamar State College-Port Arthur Surgical Technology Program are expected to assist in maintaining a classroom environment that is conducive to learning. To assure that faculty have the opportunity to teach and students have the opportunity to benefit from time spent in class, unless otherwise approved by the instructor, students are prohibited from engaging in distracting classroom behavior. The following behaviors may result in the student being asked to cease the action, lose five (5) points on the next exam, and/or leave the classroom or labs: Inappropriate and/or disruptive use of cell phones or other electronics Talking or sleeping while the instructor is giving instructions or during class discussions/presentations; Displaying a rude or negative attitude/behavior to the instructor or other students; disruptive behaviors in the classroom, skills/simulation lab, computer lab, testing environment, or clinical setting; Counseling for repetitive tardiness. The following expectations apply to all courses: Promptness is expected. Students should be on time for all classes on campus or virtually and return from breaks promptly. Students attending classroom, lab, or clinical sessions virtually should exhibit appropriate netiquette to include at a minimum: Adhere to the same standards of behavior online that you follow in real life; Respect faculty and peers time by being on time to scheduled exams, sessions and activities; and Present yourself in a professional manner. Students are expected to come to didactic, lab, and clinical experiences prepared and present as sincere, adult learners. Pre-course assignments may be required for admission into class. Students are expected to attend all online course sessions that occur during scheduled course times. These sessions will be scheduled in advance and may have activities during the live session that result in a grade. On-campus computers should only be used for classroom work. All information shared by other students and instructors will remain confidential and should not be shared with others outside of the classroom or lab environment. Students should not engage in side-bar discussions during classroom, exam reviews, clinical, and lab. Comments should be directed to the faculty in charge of the classroom, clinical, or lab time. All students are expected to actively participate in all discussions, activities, and exercises. Students are expected to be open to new ideas and experiences and to step outside of their comfort zone. A positive attitude is expected and comments should give supportive feedback. The classroom, clinical, and lab environment is a judgment-free zone. Students are responsible for their actions and are responsible for learning as much as possible from the experiences provided. Students are encouraged to seek assistance from peers and faculty when needed to be successful. Student support of each other in the learning environment is encouraged and expected. Supportive relationships with each other will allow a more positive learning environment to enable all to work together as a team and develop professionally. Homework assignments completed during classroom sessions will result in a grade of zero. Students are also expected to follow the guidelines and policies in the LSCPA Surgical Technology Student Handbook. If a student is unable to maintain these expectations or stated program requirements, dismissal from the program may occur.
Attendance Policy	Research has shown a cause and effect relationship between attendance and college success. Policies for this course are described below: 1. Because poor attendance is a leading reason for termination from a job in all areas of employment, attendance at all scheduled classes is expected. 2. A student who is absent from course activities for more than three (3) days may be dropped from the program by the Program Director. 3. Students on campus but not in class are considered absent. 4. Late arrival to class is disruptive. Students who consistently arrive after the beginning of the class (2 or more times) will be counseled and a plan of corrective action determined. Class will begin promptly at the scheduled time. Students who arrive fifteen (15) minutes after the beginning of class should not enter the classroom and should wait until break to enter. 5. It is the students responsibility to notify the instructor of any absence. If the student is unable to contact the instructor(s), the student should call 409-984-6356 or 1-800-477-5872 ext. 6356. The student should also email the faculty or call the faculty office and leave a voicemail. 6. Students who arrive after an exam starts, but before it ends, may take the exam without penalty. They are given no additional time.
