1. Exams:
Exams are based on course objectives as they are applied to the course material. Study guides
should be used as references to complete course objectives and study for exams. Comprehensive
test questions covering previously learned material may be included on each exam. Students are
expected to take all exams on the assigned days. If a situation arises and you are not able to take the
exam on the assigned date, you must contact the instructor prior to the exam. You must also make
arrangements with the instructor to make up the exam within 24 hours of the scheduled exam. It
is at the discretion of the instructor to give a different exam for makeup exams. It is the student’s
responsibility to contact the instructor regarding rescheduling of the exam. See the Nursing
Handbook.
Due to the amount of material to be learned, all unit objectives may not be addressed in class.
However, all assigned content may be tested on during an exam. The student will be expected to
independently complete or address objectives not discussed in class. All assignments are
important and pertinent to the student’s learning needs.
Students are responsible for all material covered in their absence. It is advisable to make
arrangements to obtain notes from another student in advance of an absence (possibly “buddy up” at
the start of the eight week session).
When taking exams on the computer it is highly recommended to review the exam immediately
after submitting the exam. The computer program will show the correct answer. Exams can only
be reviewed for one week (date established by the instructor) after each exam.
Curriculum Committee – Course Outline Form Revised 10/18/13

will be followed.
If a student strongly disagrees with the answer to a specific test question, a written explanation of
the answer that the student feels is correct with 3 current sources and page numbers must be given
to the instructor for review. This must be presented to the instructor in writing within one week
following the exam review.
Grades will be posted according to instructor preference. See individual instructor for details.
