Classroom expectations for students
Attendance Policy
Students are expected to participate in all required instructional activities in their
courses. Online courses are no different in this regard; however, participation must be defined in
a different manner.
1. Student “attendance” in an online course is defined as active participation in the course as
described in the course syllabus. Instructors in online courses are responsible for
providing students with clear instructions for how they are required to participate in the
course. Additionally, instructors are responsible for incorporating specific instructional
activities within their course and will, at a minimum, have weekly mechanisms for
documenting student participation. These mechanisms may include, but are not limited
to, participating in a weekly discussion board, submitting/completing assignments in the
online platform, or communicating with the instructor.
2. Students aware of necessary absences must inform the professor with as much advance
notice as possible in order to make appropriate arrangements.
3. Any student absent 20 percent or more of the online course, i.e., non-participatory during 3
or more weeks of an 11 week term, may receive an F for that course.
4. Any student who has not actively participated in an online class prior to the census date for
any given term is considered a "no-show" and will be administratively withdrawn from the
class without record. To be counted as actively participating, it is not sufficient to log in and
view the course. The student must be submitting work as described in the course syllabus.
5. Additional attendance and participation policies for each course, as defined by the
instructor in the course syllabus, are considered a part of the attendance policy
Termination may occur for any of the following attendance situations:
1. Eight (8) consecutive absences per semester.
2. Absence in excess of 20 percent (20%) of available course hours.
3. Absence in excess of 20 percent (20%) of externship hours.
Student Tardiness Policy
Tardiness for didactic or clinical education will not be tolerated. Anytime beyond the scheduled
reporting time will be considered late or tardy. When attending clinical externship, if a student is
2|Page
NURSING DEPARTMENT
to be late, he or she must notify the clinical instructor at the facility and the program clinical
coordinator. If a student must miss class, he or she must contact the program director or
instructor at least 30 minutes prior to the class beginning for didactic education five episodes of
tardiness or leaving IHP early per semester will result in an absence.
NOTE: Plagiarism is defined as the use, without proper acknowledgment, of the ideas, phrases,
sentences, or larger units of discourse from another writer or speaker. Plagiarism includes the
unauthorized copying of software and the violation of copyright laws. Students who commit
plagiarism will obtain a grade of “Failure” on their exam or assignment.
Course Description (must correspond exactly to Catalog description)
This course consists of an introduction to the classification, structure, reactions, and reaction
mechanisms of carbon compounds. The lab component covers a hands-on, laboratory
representation of chemistry concepts. Using models, chemistry experiments and multimedia, the
student will obtain a representative explanation of the conceptual lessons taught in the lecture
component of this course.

3. Case studies
4. Quizzes
5. Readings
6. Exams
7. Internet research
Academic Honesty: When learners fail to complete their own work, they are cheating
themselves out of their education and are committing plagiarism. Plagiarism, or failing to meet
the academic honesty policy, will result in disciplinary actions by the institution.
Plagiarism is dishonest behavior that will not be tolerated. A student will not receive credit if
found to have plagiarized his/her work and may result in suspension or dismissal from the
school. Follow the link for examples of
plagiarism: http://examples.yourdictionary.com/examples/examples-of-plagiarism.html
APA Format: All of your writing must be done following APA format. For more information
regarding this format, go to Purdue Owl or follow this
link:https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/01/
Late work & Educational Responsibility: All assignments must be completed by the last day
of the schedule unless an alternate due date has been previously approved by your instructor or
documentation has been provided regarding extreme circumstances. It is the learner's
responsibility to communicate with the instructor about extreme circumstances or ask questions
concerning the assignment and their due dates.
Threaded discussions: Students are to respond to the instructor’s weekly discussion post by
Wednesday at 1159 PM (EST). The responses must be substantial (at least 125 words in length
using correct grammar).
9|Page
NURSING DEPARTMENT
These are intended to stimulate discussion and re-enforce course content. The student must also
respond to two other student posts by Friday at 11:59 PM (EST). Please refer to the assignment
calendar for assignment due dates.

Do not count on a curve!
Generally, the grades “A” through “C-” are considered passing grades. Grades "W" and "I" indicate that
no grades were earned for the course. A "W" grade indicates that the student withdrew from the course. An
"I" grade indicates that the student was passing the course, but failed to complete all the required course
work. The instructor, in his/her discretion may grant an "I" grade instead of an "F", pending completion of
the course work by the student within a specified time arranged by the instructor and told to the student. It
is the student's responsibility to follow-up with the instructor to complete the course work. If the course
work is not completed by the arranged time, the “I” grade becomes an “F".
