Communication Standards Evidence-­‐based research and Transcultural Nursing Week 07: Health Policy and Transcultural Nursing Week 05: UNIVERSITY ATTENDANCE POLICY: Lincoln University uses the class method of teaching, which assumes that each student has something to contribute and something to gain by attending class. It further assumes that there is much more instruction absorbed in the classroom than can be tested on examinations. Therefore, students are expected to attend all regularly scheduled class meetings and should exhibit good faith in this regard. http://www.lincoln.edu/registrar/2014Catalog.pdf
Class Attendance Policy for Hybrid and Online Learners Face-­‐to-­‐face hybrid classes will be meet on alternate Mondays from 6pm-­‐10pm starting with week one of the course block. Students in the hybrid component are expected to attend all class sessions. Nevertheless, it is recognized that class absences are occasionally necessary for extenuating professional or personal reasons. All absences must involve legitimate excuses, such as health problems or family emergencies. Documentation should be available for all absences and supplied when requested. A student is considered absent if she/he has missed at least one quarter of a class session. Therefore, lateness is highly discouraged. No more than two missed classes are allowed in the hybrid component. When missing more than two classes you will receive a failure (“F”) for the course unless a withdrawal request is submitted by the last date to withdraw from the course, 4

The student must inform the instructor via email or in person in advance of an anticipated absence. If, however, this is not possible, it is the responsibility of the student to communicate personally with the course instructor by e-­‐mail no later then twenty-­four hours after the absence has occurred. Children are not permitted in face-­to face hybrid classes. Online Learner Presence and Participation Students are not required to come on campus at any time; the RN-­BSN program is 100% asynchronous. You will not attend class at a specific date and time, but you can expect to complete weekly assignments, reading and participation requirements. The platform for the online learning environment is Moodlerooms®. Online students are expected to demonstrate behavior that facilitates learning. Students are accountable for all materials presented in the course room. Course room presence requirements are outlined by the respective course syllabus once enrolled in the course. STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES STATEMENT: Lincoln University is committed to non-­‐discrimination of students with disabilities and therefore ensures that they have equal access to higher education, programs, activities, and services in order to achieve full participation and integration into the University. In keeping with the philosophies of the mission and vision of the University, the Office of Student Support Services, through the Services for Students with Disabilities (SSD) Program, provides an array of support services and reasonable accommodations for students with special needs and/or disabilities as defined by Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. The Services for Students with Disabilities Program seeks to promote awareness and a campus environment in which accommodating students with special needs and/or disabilities is natural extension of the University’s goal. Any student with a documented disability should contact the Office of Student Support Services. http://www.lincoln.edu/studentservices/index.html UNIVERSITY ACADEMIC INTEGRITY STATEMENT: Students are responsible for proper conduct and integrity in all of their scholastic work. They must follow a professor's instructions when completing tests, homework, and laboratory reports, and must ask for clarification if the instructions are not clear. In general, students should not give or receive aid when taking exams, or exceed the time limitations specified by the professor. In seeking the truth, in learning to think critically, and in preparing for a life of constructive service, honesty is imperative. Honesty in the classroom and in the preparation of papers is therefore expected of all students. Each student has the responsibility to submit work that is uniquely his or her own. All of this work must be done in accordance with established principles of academic integrity. http://www.lincoln.edu/registrar/2014Catalog.pdf POLICY ON ELECTRONIC DEVICES IN CLASSROOM: Electronic devices (cell phones, tablets, laptops, etc.) may not be used in class except with the express consent of the instructor. Even when permitted, these devices may not be used for 5
NUR456-Master Syllabus
non-­‐ educational (e.g., gaming, texting), academically dishonest (e.g. cheating on exams), or illegal (e.g., recording or taking pictures without permission) purposes. Students who violate this policy will receive a verbal warning for the first infraction. Additional violations may result in the student being asked to leave class or receiving a grade penalty. Electronic devices may be used as a student resource, essentially as a textbook. While students may share non-­‐identifiable information for courses and learning purposes, no patient information of any kind should be shared outside confidential settings. There should be no reference to a clinical site, faculty member, nursing student, staff member, medical staff, patient, or family; even if information is de-­‐identified, it should never be shared electronically via email or on social networking sites. Students wishing to record the lectures must obtain prior permission from the faculty member. Violation will result in disciplinary action, which may lead to dismissal from the program.
