CLASS POLICIES:
1.
This is a skill based class and you are expected to arrive on time and
remain the entire time unless instructed otherwise. Attendance will be
taken and severe grade deductions will be administered for violations of
the attendance policy. No attendance credit will be given for students
that leave class immediately following attendance verification.
Attendance tracking is in effect on the first day of class according to the
academic calendar regardless of when a student registered for the class
(see “Class Schedule” below). There are no excused absences except in
special situations discussed with and agreed to by the instructor. If you
are unable to attend classes owing to a medical limitation, you should
consider withdrawal (see policy 4 below). Students are responsible for
content of all missed classes – it is a good idea to befriend your fellow
classmates in case you need information about a missed class. The
instructor will not lend out, email or post notes on blackboard regarding
class content.
2.
NOTE: Make-up examinations will be given ONLY in the event of a
medical emergency. Proof of the emergency is required and must be
presented to the instructor the day the student returns to class - no
later. Absence from an exam without proof will result in receiving no
points for the exam. A doctor's appointment is not considered a medical
emergency. A make-up appointment must be scheduled with the
instructor on return to class.
3.
General Note on Grading: The College of Education faculty members
strive to implement assessment measures that reflect a variety of
strategies in order to evaluate a student's performance in a course. For
undergraduates and post-degree students C grades will be awarded for
satisfactory work that satisfies all course requirements; B grades will be
awarded for very good work, and A grades will be reserved for
outstanding performance. [For graduate students B grades will be
awarded for satisfactory work that satisfies all course requirements; B+
grades will be awarded for very good work, and A grades will be reserved
for outstanding performance.] Please note that there is a distribution of
grades from A-F within the College of Education and that plusses and
minuses are recorded and distinguish distinct grade point averages.
4.
Medical Withdrawal: A student who sustains, during the course of the
semester, an injury or illness that prevents him/her from further
participation in this class may apply for a “(partial) medical withdrawal”
and may receive complete or partial reimbursement of tuition paid for
this class. A physician’s statement is required. Forms to use to apply
for “medical withdrawal” may be obtained from the Registrar, or from
www.wayne.edu (type in “forms and instructions” in the search box).
WSU: CPR & First Aid HE 2330 Syllabus p.3
5.
Extra Credit Not Available in this course. Gum chewing is not allowed.
Cell phones, pagers and other electronic devices should be turned off
whenever class is in session. Failure to participate, especially during
practice sessions, by talking in class, using electronic devices or other
policy violations can result in a participation penalty. On test days,
students will not be allowed to access their bags, cell phones or other
electronic devices. Violations may result in 0 points for the exam.
6.
Professional Courtesy: Students are expected to treat each other and the
instructor in a professional manner, Inappropriate behaviors during
class, including talking out of turn, taunting or being disrespectful to
others, reading, cell phone/pager interruptions, will not be tolerated. If
you are asked to leave, it is expected that you will do so without further
interruption of the class.
7.
Classroom preparation and restoration: Due to the nature of this course
and the use of special equipment, all students are expected to share in
the responsibility of setting up for practice sessions and returning the
classroom back to a normal state. (Putting away mats and equipment,
returning desks and chairs to normal positions). Failure to help with
classroom setup/restoration may incur a participation penalty.
8.
You are required to attend the last day of class to receive your
certification status and to get credit for attendance.
9.
Once grades have been revealed and submitted, the instructor will not
consider a grade change. Please wait until final exams are complete and
certification status communicated before talking to the instructor about
your grade.
Academic Dishonesty:
Academic dishonesty of any type will not be tolerated. (See WSU Student Code
of Conduct). Students are responsible for knowing what constitutes academic
dishonesty. If there is any question, it is better to ask me for an opinion in
advance. Examples of academic dishonesty include, but are not limited to,
giving or receiving aid during an exam (i.e. cheating), giving or receiving
unauthorized information prior to an exam regarding the content of that exam,
stealing a copy of the exam, having another student assist you during an on-line
exam, deceiving the professor by representing the work of another as your own,
plagiarizing the words or ideas of another person, submitting the same written
work to fulfill the requirements of more than one course. Should cases of
academic dishonesty be found, I reserve the right to impose the following
sanctions:
Assign the student an “F” for the assignment, project, paper, or exam in
question.
Assign the student an “F” for the entire course.
Recommend the student be placed on probation or suspended for a period of
time.
Recommend that the student be expelled from the university (repeated offenses.)
Anyone with specific questions regarding academic misbehavior should consult
the source document at http://www.doso.wayne.edu/codeofconduct.pdf or
http://www.doso.wayne.edu/judicial/academic-integrity.htm
WSU: CPR & First Aid HE 2330 Syllabus p.4
Plagiarism:
The definition of plagiarism is "to use/steal the language, ideas, or thoughts from
another and to represent them as your own original work." If you use another
person's words, ideas, or thoughts in your papers, you must cite the author(s) in
your paper using APA style. I can check for plagiarism by running your papers
through a software application that instantly detects papers with unoriginal
material. In addition, if you can Google it, so can I. For your own sake, please
avoid the temptation to use someone else's words as your own. Any cases of
detected plagiarism will result in an "F" on the assignment. A second offense
will result in an "F" for the course.

University Policies and Student Handbook:
As a student at Wayne State University, you are required to know the policies
described in the Student Bulletin. My policies in this course are guided by the
policies described in the student handbook. You may access the WSU Student
Bulletin at: http://www.bulletins.wayne.edu/ubk-output/index.html
Withdrawal Policy:
It is the student’s responsibility to request withdrawal from class. After the
fourth week of class is completed, and before the tenth week of class (see LAST
WITHDRAW DATE on p.1), students must make their request on Pipeline. Their
instructor will need to approve it before it becomes final. Students should
continue to attend class until they receive notification via email that the
withdrawal has been approved.
There are three options:
WP - Withdrawal with a passing grade earned to date will be awarded if the
student is passing the course (based on work due to date) at the time of the
withdrawal request.
WF - Withdrawal with a failing grade earned to date will be awarded if the
student is failing the course (based on work due to date) at the time of the
withdrawal request.
WN - Withdrawal never attended or no graded work to date will be awarded if no
materials have been submitted, as so there is no basis for a grade.
Attention Students with Disabilities:
If you have a documented disability that requires accommodations, you will
need to register with Student Disability Services (SDS) for coordination of your
academic accommodations. The Student Disability Services (SDS) office is
located at 1600 David Adamany Undergraduate Library in the Student Academic
Success Services department. SDS telephone number is 313-577-1851 or 313577-3365 (TDD only). Once you have your accommodations in place, I will be
WSU: CPR & First Aid HE 2330 Syllabus p.5
glad to meet with you privately during my office hours to discuss your special
needs. Student Disability Services’ mission is to assist the university in creating
an accessible community where students with disabilities have an equal
opportunity to fully participate in their educational experience at Wayne State
University.
Please be aware that a delay in getting SDS accommodation letters for the
current semester may hinder the availability or facilitation of those
accommodations in a timely manner. Therefore, it is in your best interest to get
your accommodation letters as early in the semester as possible.
The SDS Student Handbook, found online at the link below, includes
departmental procedures and policies, in addition to the many forms that may
be used to request the services and accommodations that you desire.

Religious Observation Policy:
Because of the extraordinary variety of religious affiliations represented in the
University student body and staff, the Wayne State University calendar makes
no provision for religious holidays. It is University policy, however, to respect the
faith and religious obligations of the individual. Students who find that their
classes or examinations involve conflicts with their religious observances are
expected to notify their instructors well in advance so that alternative
arrangements as suitable as possible may be worked out.
