RET 2284L – PRINCIPLES OF MECHANICAL VENTILATION LABORATORY
SPECIFIC COURSE OBJECTIVES:
1.
The course work will be divided into modules, with specific objectives for each
module.
2.
You will be responsible for completing all module assignments, lab activities,
competencies, and practicum exams in order to satisfy all course objectives.
3.
Practicum exams will be given following the completion of each module, as well
as at any time the instructor deems appropriate.
It is the student’s responsibility to be present for all scheduled examinations.
Students who are absent for exams, but provide suitable justification and
documentation (physician’s note or other appropriate evidence), will be allowed
to take a makeup exam at full credit. If the absence is unexcused, or adequate
documentation is not provided, the student may make up the exam but will not
receive a grade higher than 80% C. Makeup exams must be scheduled by the
student and will be given at the convenience of the instructor. The format of any
make-up exam is at the discretion of the instructor, cf. Respiratory Care Program
Policies and Procedures, Section Three: Assignments and Tests, #3.
5.
The final grade will be computed based on the following:
I. Practica / Exams
100%
GRADING SCALE
A = 100 - 94
B = 93 - 87
C = 86 - 80
-----------------------D = 79 - 73
F = 72 - below
