1.*
Perform a venipuncture correctly under the direct observation of the instructor.
2.*
Properly prepare a phlebotomy site for the collection of a blood culture/unit of blood.
Methods of Evaluation:
Lecture quizzes/assignments
Lecture tests
Laboratory participation and completion of all exercises
Laboratory practical examinations/assignments/quizzes
Final examination
All assignments, tests, quizzes, and practicals will be graded on a point basis. Final grades will be determined
by total points accumulated in both lecture and laboratory sessions.
Grading Scale:
A = 90-100.0%
B = 80 – 89.99%
C = 70 – 79.99%
D = 60 – 69.99%
F = below 60.0%
MISCELLANEOUS
Attendance
In accordance with the attendance policy outlined in the college catalog, students are expected to attend all
class meetings. Any penalties for absences may be left to the discretion of the instructor. It is the
responsibility of the faculty members to advise their classes, in writing, of their attendance policy. It is the
student’s responsibility to drop the class if they no longer choose to attend. My policy is that you are in this
class for a reason and therefore, as an adult, it is your responsibility to be in class or to go through the proper
channels to withdraw from the course. If you have an excused absence please inform the instructor.
It is the responsibility of faculty members to advise their classes, in writing, of their attendance and
makeup policies. It is the student’s responsibility to discuss any absences and the possibility of makeup
work with the instructor as soon as possible.
Students are expected to attend all class meetings and officially withdraw from courses they are no longer
attending. However, if students fail to withdraw, their instructors will not allow them to remain on class
rolls when it becomes clear that excessive absences prevent the student’s successful completion of the
course. Once an instructor has determined that a student has missed too many classes to pass the
course, the instructor will officially withdraw the student rather than allowing the student to remain on the
class roll and receive an “F” at the end of the semester.
As a general rule, missing more than 15% of scheduled class meetings (six class hours in a traditional
three credit lecture course, proportionately more in classes with laboratory, studio, or clinical components)
constitutes excessive absence. In online classes, a student’s failure to participate for a period greater
than two weeks constitutes excessive absence. Instructors in online courses will monitor attendance
based on participation in the class as evidenced by turning in assignments, participation in discussion
boards, e-mail, or other formal contact. Students must consult the course syllabus for the attendance
policy set by individual instructors.
Feel free to have a classmate to tape the lecture if an absence is necessary. Have a classmate turn in any
assignments that may be due that day.
A student will be allowed to miss one test only and if a test is missed from any component of this course,
due to illness or other reason, it MUST be made up by the next class session, prior to class. All missed tests
are placed in the testing center the morning following the test and picked up just before the following week’s
class. Should you fail to take an examination prior to the next class it will be given a grade of zero (0). If for
any reason a curve is given on a test, it will not be given to students that have taken a make up test.
All assignments must be turned in on time. NO LATE ASSIGNMENTS, WHAT-SO-EVER, WILL BE
ACCEPTED. A grade of zero (0) will be given to any assignments not turned in on the due date. If a
student is going to have to miss class for whatever reason, the student can email, have the assignment
hand delivered or faxed to the instructor. THIS POLICY WILL BE STRICTLY ADHERED TO.
Tardiness Policy
I am not strict on this except for laboratory. I feel that part of a lecture is better than no lecture at all. But if it
becomes habitual then I may discuss the continuous tardiness with the student. PLEASE DO NOT MAKE IT
A HABIT BECAUSE IT IS DISRUPTIVE TO THE CLASS AS A WHOLE. BE COURTEOUS TO YOUR
FELLOW STUDENTS.
Academic Dishonesty & Integrity
Academic dishonesty is defined page 64 of the 2012-2013 Catalog. If I suspect cheating or copying of each
other’s papers has occurred, I will act in accordance with the guidelines stated in the Student Handbook and
Catalog. The proper steps for a student to resolve disciplinary action are as follows:
1. Instructor
2. Division Chair
3. Vice-President of Learning
4. Institutional Standards and Appeals Committee.
Note
The stated schedules – lectures and laboratory – are subject to change in the event of extenuating
circumstances such as weather or unavailability of equipment or reagents.
Student Responsibilities
Read the college catalog and all materials you receive during registration. These materials tell you what
the college expects from you.
Read the syllabus for each class. The syllabus tells you what the instructor expects from you.
Attend all class meetings. Something important to learning happens during every class period. If you must
miss a class meeting, talk to the instructor in advance about what you should do.
Be on time. If you come in after class has started, you disrupt the entire class.
Never interrupt another class to talk to the instructor or a student in that class.
Be prepared for class. Complete reading assignments and other homework before class so that you can
understand the lecture and participate in discussion. Always have pen/pencil, paper, and other specific
tools for class.
Learn to take good notes. Write down ideas rather than word-for-word statements by the instructor.
Allow time to use all the resources available to you at the college. Visit your instructor during office hours
for help with material or assignments you do not understand; use the library; use the free tutors, tapes,
computers, and other resources in Learning Assistance Center.
Treat others with respect. Part of the college experience is being exposed to people with ideas, values,
and backgrounds different from yours. Listen to others and evaluate ideas on their own merit.
Accommodations for Students with Special Needs:
North Arkansas College complies with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with
Disabilities Act of 1990. Students with disabilities who need special accommodations should make their
requests in the following way: (1) talk to your instructor after class or during office hours about your disability
or special need related to your classroom work; and/or (2) contact Special Services.
