Fall 2018 Course Syllabi

DAKOTA NURSING PROGRAM Bismarck State College • Dakota College at Bottineau • Lake Region State College • Williston State College 5 result in failure of the course and dismissal from the Dakota Nursing Program. Student Role in Evaluation of Teaching, Course, and Program Evaluation: The Dakota Nursing Program student will evaluate faculty teaching and curriculum in the classroom, lab and clinical settings. The evaluations are an important source of information for both individual faculty and for program evaluation. Attendance Policy The Dakota Nursing Program supports the college policy on attendance as stated in your college catalog. In addition, the nursing program implements strict attendance policies for classroom, lab and clinical experiences. Students are expected to attend all theory, lab, and clinical hours. Regular, punctual attendance demonstrates safe and professional behavior and responsibility. In recognition of the fact that the primary learning takes place in the teacher-student relationship, the principle governing class attendance is that the student is expected to attend all regularly scheduled classes (classroom, laboratory, and clinical) and is responsible for meeting course objectives. Absences may make it impossible for a student to meet course objective and result in failure of the course. A student may be excused from class or clinical with the approval of the instructor. It is the student’s responsibility to make arrangements to fulfill missed assignments with the appropriate faculty member. All makeup work may have a deduction in theory, lab, or clinical applications. All missed hours in lab or clinical need to be made up with an hour for each hour missed. Absences of more than four in any classroom, lab, or clinical course may result in course failure. Please see the Attendance Policy in your Nursing Program Handbook for directions on how to notify faculty of and for consequences specific to being absent or tardy. SPECIAL ACCOMMODATIONS: Any student who has medical information to share with the faculty or has a disability that may prevent them from fully demonstrating their abilities should contact the instructor to discuss accommodations necessary to ensure full participation and facilitate their educational opportunities.
