clinical components—pediatric and obstetric. The clinical hours are divided evenly
between these two areas.
2. Clinical- a variety of teaching strategies applicable to clinical experiences will be
utilized, such as case studies, client care experiences, demonstration, discussion, student
presentations, and questioning.
COURSE ASSESSMENT
1. Types of Assessment/Assignments
Theory
a. Student progress is evaluated using a variety of methods including written
examination/quizzes, observation of client care and assessment of skills in a clinical
setting, client centered concept maps/care plans, patient documentation/charting and
other written assignments appropriate to the clinical setting.
Clinical:
Faculty observations of students' completion of skills and ability to respond to questions
are the primary methods of evaluating students in a clinical setting. If a student's clinical
performance is evaluated as unsatisfactory, the student must meet with the faculty.
b. Students are expected to participate in all theory and clinical classes. Assigned readings,
study guides, etc are to be completed prior to attending the class/clinical session
scheduled for the specific topic.
c. Examinations/quizzes may include multiple choice completion, true-false or short essay
type items. Exams and quizzes will begin on time. Students may not enter the classroom
after the exam/quiz has begun.
d. Make up procedures: If it is necessary to be absent during an assigned test period, the
student must make up the exam prior to the next scheduled class date. Failure to do so
will result in a zero for the exam. The student may miss one exam without penalty, as
long as the test is made up within the specified time period. If the student misses more
than one exam, the exam may be made up, but the maximum score allowed is 80% for
the second missed exam, 50% for all others missed. The final examination must be
taken on the scheduled date and at the scheduled time.
The final exam must be taken on the scheduled date and at the scheduled time. If the
student is not in the classroom when tests are being distributed the student must follow
the provision for the make up test procedures. When necessary to make up an
examination, it will be placed in the testing center. It is the student's responsibility to
make an appointment and take the test with the specified period of time. Exceptions to
these guidelines may be considered, but only if the student consults with the instructor in
advance.
e. Late assignments: Assignments are expected to be completed and turned in by the dates
stipulated on the course calendar and the individual instructor due dates. It is the
responsibility of the student to notify the clinical course instructor BEFORE any delay in
meeting the stated written deadlines. Lateness in handing in assigned work may
contribute to course failure.

f. Course calendar/outline is attached.
2. Grading Policy
a. A student's theory course grade will be determined as follows:
Eight Unit quizzes (four OB and four Pediatrics) (70%)
Study Guides for each Unit from mynursinglab assignments (5%)
Peds Group Teaching Project and EFM Packet (5%)
Final comprehensive exam (20%)
Unit exams are averaged at the end of the course. The unit exams are equal to 70% of
the final grade. Group teaching projects are equal to 5% of the final course grade. Final
exam is equal to 20% of course grade. Study guides are equal to 5% of the final grade.
b. Clinical is graded on a satisfactory/unsatisfactory basis. Students must obtain
satisfactory on all assignments, quizzes (including pharmacology, written skills, math,
etc) and skills performances to obtain a satisfactory evaluation for clinical. Students
should keep these handouts and refer to them as necessary throughout the quarter.
Students are expected to come to clinical prepared to give care to their clients. Being
prepared includes such things as looking up medications, knowing the diagnosis of the
clients, being prepared to do procedures, treatments, having data related to previous
assessments completed before clinical and having a written plan of care. Faculty will
provide students with clinical expectations the day of orientation. Students that do not
come prepared will be sent home and will be counted as missed clinical hours. IF A
STUDENT'S CLINICAL PERFORMANCE IS EVALUATED AS
UNSATISFACTORY, THE STUDENT MUST MEET WITH THE FACULTY.
c. Written assignments, theory, and clinical assignments must be completed by specified
dates. Due dates for clinical assignments will be given with clinical information from the
clinical instructor.
d. A math exam will be given at the beginning of the clinical quarter. The student must
obtain a 100% on the math exam to pass the clinical portion of the class. The student will
have 3 attempts to attain the 100% on a math exam.
e. Final course grades are based on the following:
1.
Theory is graded on the following letter scale and will not be rounded up.
93-100
84-92
78-83
70-77
Below 70
2.
=A
=B
=C
=D
=F
There will be no rounding of grades.
Metropolitan Community College

3.
The student must maintain a 78% to pass the course. The student must also
maintain a passing grade in clinical practicum to pass the course. To satisfactorily
complete a nursing course, the student must receive a 'C' (78%) or above in theory
and a satisfactory in clinical. Failure by a student in either theory or clinical
will necessitate repeating the complete course (both theory and clinical
components).
4.
Students will take ATI proctored exams for Pediatrics and Maternal Newborn at
the end of the quarter. If the student achieves a level 2 or greater on the exam,
2 points will be added to the lowest unit test grade for that content…ie 2 points
possible for Pediatric content and 2 points possible for Maternity content. No
points will be awarded for less than Level 2 achievement. Total points
possible = 4. Student must have course grade of 78% overall to get ATI points.
Practice exams must be submitted prior to proctored exams. See course calendar
for due dates.
Maintenance of Student Records
The tests will be reviewed in the next class meeting following administration of the exam.
All test papers are to be returned to the instructor at the completion of the review. Exam answer
sheets will be kept for one academic year. The comprehensive final answers will not be
reviewed. Final grades will be posted per college policy.
