The criteria by which grades for each theory and clinical course are determined are included in course syllabi distributed to students. Students have access to and should review the learning management system grading calculation method. Students are responsible to know what their grades are during the course. Please review the gradebook frequently. If an assignment or exam in the student’s gradebook says the assignment or exam has not been submitted or has not been entered, it is then treated as a fact that the student did not do the assignment or exam unless the student has written proof that they did in fact complete and submit such assignment/exam as outlined in the directions. Make sure your assignments are submitted well before the due date to assure timely submission. Please see your Dakota Nursing Student handbook for grading policies in addition to the policies listed below. Grades: Grades are given for both theory classes and clinical performance of clinical nursing courses. Students must earn a minimum grade of "C" with a maintained 2.5 GPA or better in all required courses of the program. Students who fail a theory or clinical course will be dismissed from the nursing program. A final grade of D or F is considered to be a failed grade. Any time a student has unsatisfactory averages, he/she should contact the instructor for guidance. Active Learning: In addition to educational strategies such as reading, listening, and reflecting, when appropriate this class makes use of learning techniques commonly known as active learning. Students should expect to participate in active learning techniques such as discussions and presentations, small group activities, writing, problem-solving, movement, case studies, role-playing, etc. These activities promote analysis, synthesis, and evaluation of class content in order to improve student learning outcomes. Assignments/Quizzes/Clinical Paperwork: All assignments must be completed and submitted on time in the manner specified by the faculty. Students may fail the course if all assignments are not completed.
