Do not interrupt class by chatting with your classmates. The professor reserves the right to expel
disrupting students from the classroom at any time, ask students to surrender their electronic
devices and request disciplinary action from the Dean for Academic Affairs and even assign a
failing grade to those who display such anti-pedagogic behavior
There are not make-ups for Test.
If you miss a Test for which a medical or court excuse is provided [professional letterhead
required] an incomplete grade maybe considered.
To get an incomplete grade :
you need the documented excuse for your absence and pass more than 60% of the course; a
signed the incomplete grade forms with the chair person and your instructor; an attachment of
the professional letter will be made to your form.
Is the responsibility of the student to drop the course. Those who appear in the final grade roll
and have not attended or taken the test of exams, will receive a grade of F.
Attendance and Tardiness.
Attendance is mandatory. The student is expected to attend classes regularly. If an emergency
arises, the instructor expects to be contacted if you cannot attend the class. . Late arrival can be
treated as an absence. It is your personal responsibility to get notes or handouts from classmates
or to see the instructor during office hours for additional help. Your attendance record can affect
your final grade ,and your behavior in the class, your tardiness will be considered a distraction
of the class. Traveling on cruises, vacations, family reunions, weddings are not excuses.
There are no make ups, NO EXCEPTIONS
A student who is consistently absent for the classes & does not make attempts to communicate
with the Instructor will be purged from the class roll after the Fourth absence.
-Four tardiness will count as one day absence.
- Each undocumented absence reduces your average score(Final grades) by One point
The professor will give assigned places in the lecture and will change student places

during the lecture, test time or collaborative learning activities.
If the student does not show up the day of the test,or being late ,the will be Zero (F)
You are responsible for all deadlines, directions, discussions, materials, activities, assignments,
or announcements covered in class, regardless of your reason for being late to class or absent.
Attendance will be checked for every lecture session. The professor reserves the right to deny
entry, require withdrawal or fail students who are constantly late or have had four undocumented
absences during the semester. If the student has an undocumented absence after the withdrawal
deadline, the professor will assign a failing (F) grade regardless of the student's performance in
the course at the time. This will be enforced according to the rules and procedures established in
the current Miami-Dade community College catalog and the Student Handbook.

Introduction as your first paragraph
Main text [no more than 3 pages ]
Conclusion as your last paragraph
Illustrations
References [more than 3] I am not going to accept reports without References
I will provide a list of different themes to the students to research from the application manual
It is an individual research.
The students have to use Microsoft word
The paper has to have the following:
Hard cover

Index page
Body of the paper requirements: minimum 5 pages, double space and font # 12
It has to include: Explain why did you chose the topic and its relation with the
material covered in this course .
- Concept: a short paragraph that summarizes the medical condition
- Causes: What are the causes of the medical condition?
- Symptoms and signs
Symptoms: What the patient refers to the Doctor
Signs: What the Doctor see, measure or listen with
instruments and maneuvers
