Spring 2017 Course Syllabi

Regular, punctual attendance demonstrates 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. Please note that all missed hours in lab or clinical need to be made

up with an hour for each hour missed. 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.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

It is expected that you will read the assigned textbook chapters PRIOR to coming to class.

All written work must be completed and turned in to the instructor prior to taking any scheduled exam.

Any assignments which are not complete and turned in will result in the student failing the course

with a grade of F.

Students are required to read the Dakota Nursing Program student handbook upon admission to the

program and submit the signature form found in the handbook showing that the student will agree to

follow the information and policies found in the handbook.

Nursing is a profession which demands high standards and a strict code of ethics. There is no place in

nursing for dishonesty. Anyone caught in any dishonest activity (cheating, plagiarism, copying other’s

work, theft, etc.) will receive an F in the course. A minimum grade of C in each course is required to

progress in the nursing program.

Material for this course will be posted onto the Pearson site. It is your responsibility to check this site

for assignments and notes. It is also your responsibility to know what your grade is in the course by

reviewing the Pearson gradebook.
