CLASS POLICIES
1.
If a student is unable to take an exam or quiz during the scheduled class period, the student
MUST notify the instructor prior to the scheduled exam/quiz to be eligible to take a make up
exam. The student may leave a message (286-2033) if the instructor cannot be reached. The
student should then contact the instructor to arrange for the make-up exam/quiz prior to the
next scheduled class period. If a student fails to follow this procedure, there will be no make-up
exam/quiz and the student will receive a 0 for that exam/quiz. ONLY ONE MAKE-UP
EXAMINATION OR QUIZ WILL BE ALLOWED.
2.
Make-up exams or quizzes may be essay-based at the instructor’s discretion.
3.
Students who arrive late for any untimed quiz will be permitted time to complete the quiz equal
to the time of the last student who arrived on time to complete the quiz. Timed quizzes and
exams must be completed within the assigned time frame.
4.
Tape recorders are permitted during lecture. NO RECORDING IS PERMITTED DURING
EXAM REVIEW.
5.
Any disciplinary problems (cheating, plagiarism, or conduct that is disruptive to the class, etc.)
will be handled in accordance with the HANDBOOK ON RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES
adopted by the Provost and the Standards Committee, January 18, 1994 and revised in April
2006. This handbook can be downloaded from the following link:
http://www.macomb.edu/NR/rdonlyres/08393098-75E2-4DA0-B53407B76A0E6DC2/0/StudentHandbook.pdf. Any person found cheating on exams or quizzes or

the Respiratory Therapy Program.

The last day to drop a class for a "W" grade for the 2011 Winter Semester is February 21,
2011. Students must complete a withdrawal form at the Enrollment Office in G-120 at Center
Campus. Failure to officially withdraw will result in an "E" for the course.
10.
Method of Evaluation: The grade for this course will be based on submission of Sputum Bowl
questions (see below), three quizzes and two examinations (one mid-term and one final). The
exams and quizzes will cover lecture material, reading assignments and homework
assignments. Examinations and quizzes are cumulative.
11.
Testing Guidelines - Students are required to purchase Scantron test scanner forms from
Campus (Follet) bookstores. Purchase Scantron Form No. X-101864-PAR-L. Students will
be required to provide the instructor with two (2) test scanner forms within the first week of
class. The instructor will then provide the test scanner form in the test packet at the time of
testing.
12.
Students are allowed to use a simple 4-function, non-programmable calculator for testing
purposes. All mobile phones must be turned off and removed from the testing area.
13.
If a scantron is used as part of the assessment process, the student will be responsible for
transferring the correct answer to the scantron. Final scores will be based upon the markings
on the scantron; markings on the scantron will have no bearing on the final score unless
specifically outlined in the directions of the exam.
14.
Special Needs – Students are responsible for alerting the instructor regarding any special
accommodations they may need. The instructor will put the student in touch with a special
needs counselor.
15.
Learning Assistance – Learning assistance and tutoring are available in the Library on Center
Campus in C Building (586-286-2104) as well as in the Learning Center on Center Campus in
C Building (586-286-2203).
16.
Sputum Bowl Questions – 9% of the final grade will be based on submission of ten competition
questions each week (beginning with Monday, January 31, 2011 and ending Monday, February
21, 2011 – 40 questions total) and on participation in the MCC Sputum Bowl. Questions will be
submitted in the presentation described during the first class and on the handout provided.
Students will be randomly assigned to a Sputum Bowl team and will participate in the
competition with questions from the bank of questions and from the questions submitted by
classmates.
