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.
