COURSE DESCRIPTION:
This course is designed to equip the student with accepted safety, first aid and cardiopulmonary resuscitation,
philosophy, techniques, and procedures that will enable the student to appropriately cope with situations
ranging from minor to life-threatening.
IV.
RATIONALE:
Sudden illness and injury are commonplace events that occur with regularity in all segments of society.
Appropriate and immediate action can often mean the difference between life and death, permanent or
temporary disability, rapid recovery or long term rehab. Timely care can often prevent further injury or
aggravation of a specific condition. Knowledge of proper techniques, and procedures creates a safer
environment for the trained individual and for all those which one comes in contact.
V.

1.
Understand the moral and legal implications of administering temporary care.
2.

3.
Enhance personal health and safety and that of others by promoting safety awareness concepts.
4.

VI.
ACADEMIC INTEGRITY: It is expected that a student attending Mississippi College will be scrupulously honest.

OTHER COURSE INFORMATION:
A. Participation- Students are expected to read materials before attending class and participate in
class discussions and activities.
NOTE: This is a 3 credit hour course. Based on university guidelines, you are expected to spend 2
hours of study and review time for every hour in class each week. This includes reading, studying,
and completing assignments. However, more study time might be necessary.
B. Class Absentee/Tardy Policy
Class attendance is an essential part of university education and students are expected to attend
regularly and be punctual to all classes and laboratories for which they are registered.
 Class attendance is required and accurate records are kept.
 Students should not accumulate excessive absences. Mississippi College policy states
students will receive a failing grade (“F”) in any course immediately upon accumulating the
following number of absences in that class:
8 in semester classes meeting 2 times per week (Monday/Wednesday)
 Excused absence: Students are responsible to make up work missed with an excused
absence. If handouts are given, they should arrange to have another student in the class get
their handouts. Make-up tests are given only with an excused absence. Note: excused
absences are still counted as an absence!
 Absence Appeal: If a student misses more than the number of class periods specified in the
-2-
University policy and believes that there are reasonable explanations for the absences, he/she
may appeal the absences with the Dean of the School of Education. Students may obtain a
Student Absence Appeal form from the office of the Dean.
Tardiness is also subject to penalty, as is any failure to complete required class work on time. The
following guidelines summarize university policy: (see the current Mississippi College Undergraduate
Catalog).
 Three (3) tardies (5 minutes late or leaving early) will equal one absence. It‘s the
student’s responsibility to see the instructor after class about changing an absence to a tardy.
C. Late assignments will not be accepted.
D. Students are required to regularly check mc.edu email addresses
E. No cell phones, pagers… will be allowed in the classroom. Dismissal from class
for non-compliance.
F. No eating or drinking in class – bottled water is allowed.
G. Tutoring is available in the Department of Kinesiology on Wednesday afternoons from 4:00 – 5:00
pm. Contact Dr. Christopher Washam (601.925.3302) in advance.
H. Tuition refunds are not made to students who drop a class after the first week.
I. Disability Accommodations: In order for a student to receive disability accommodations under
Section 504 of the Americans with Disabilities Act, he or she must schedule an individual meeting with the Director
of Student Counseling Services immediately upon recognition of their disability (if their disability is known they must
come in before the semester begins or make an appointment immediately upon receipt of their syllabi for the new
semester). The student must bring with them written document-tation from a medical physician and/or licensed
clinician that verifies their disability. If the student has received prior accommodations, they must bring written
documentation of those accommodations (example Individualized Education Plan from the school system).
Documentation must be current (within 3 years). The student must meet with SCS face-to face and also attend two
(2) additional follow up meetings (one mid semester before or after midterm examinations and the last one at the
end of the semester). Please note that the student may also schedule additional meetings as needed for support
through SCS as they work with their professor throughout the semester. Note: Students must come in each
semester to complete their Individualized Accommodation Plan (example: MC student completes fall semester IAP
plan and even if student is a continuing student for the spring semester they must come in again to complete their
spring semester IAP plan). Student Counseling Services is located in Alumni Hall Room #4 or they may be contacted
via email at christia@mc.edu or rward@mc.edu. You may also reach them by phone at 601-925-7790.
