*Unless otherwise stated, all materials, activities, and assessments are required and are not optional. Only final grades will be rounded using the common rounding rule. A grade with 0.5 or above will be rounded up and a grade with a 0.4 or below will be rounded down.  For example, if a student receives a final grade of 79.5, he or she will receive an 80 for the final grade. If a student receives a grade of 79.4, he or she will receive a 79 for the final grade.

Communication, Grading & Feedback: 

Communication is expected to be professional in all encounters. Foul or abusive language in the classroom, clinical setting, or university will not be tolerated. Conflicts are to be resolved in a manner that respects the dignity of every person involved.

Email is an important communication tool used by the College of Nursing. Official communication must take place through UTPB email. The College of Nursing communicates with students using UTPB student email or messaging in Canvas Learning Management System. Faculty members may not respond to emails from other servers such as hotmail.com, gmail.com, yahoo.com or other email servers.

Faculty in the College of Nursing will respond to emails within 24 hours on weekdays and 48 hours on weekends or holidays. Students should check UTPB email daily and respond to emails sent by faculty within 24 hours on weekdays and 48 hours on weekends or holidays.

Faculty members have office hours where they will be available for consultation.  Days/Times will be made available to you. Students are encouraged to contact their instructor if they wish to discuss their progress, a problem or need assistance related to their role as a student.

Time Management:

Each student should expect to spend a minimum of three hours on preparation and learning assignments for every semester credit hour.  Since this class is a 1-semester credit hour class, it is expected that each student should spend about 3 hours out of class on assignments in addition to 1 hour of in-class time for a total of about 4 hours per week to obtain an "A" in a class. It will be important to develop a Time Management Plan to be successful.

Policies

ATI Testing:

ATI testing and learning resources are embedded throughout the nursing program. Please see individual course syllabus for details outlining grading policy.

The grading system for proctored exam scoring is outlined below:

Clinical Absences:

Attendance for all class is mandatory. There are no excused absences. Students can have no more than one clinical absence a semester. A mandatory make-up day will be set by faculty based on availability. In the event a student misses more than one day of clinical, including simulation lab hours, or a scheduled make-up day, this may result in course failure.

Service Learning:

As a key component of the education process, the College of Nursing recognizes the need for students to participate in service learning. Service learning is attributed to experiential learning, community betterment and self-reflection. As a contribution to the University and the community, all students will be required to complete a minimum of four hours of service learning each semester. The service learning opportunity must be approved by the course faculty and should include 2-3 student-designed objectives. The service learning opportunity may be separated into two separate experiences, but both should have a public health focus, which can include a broad array of experiences

Discussion Board

Discussion Board is primarily for discussing course related topics and issues.
Best practices are:

  • Read all message postings in online discussion.
  • Respond to the question directly
  • Reply to minimum of two other student posts.
  • Use a person's name in the body of your message when you reply to their message.
  • Avoid postings that are limited to 'I agree' or 'great idea', etc.
  • Ensure responses to questions are meaningful, reflective.
  • Support statements with concepts from course readings, refer to personal experience, examples.
  • Follow Rules of Behavior (below).

Rules of Behavior 

Discussion areas are public to every student in this class (including your instructor) who will see what you write. Please pay attention to the language you use and adhere to the following guidelines:

  • Do not post anything too personal.
  • Do not use language that is inappropriate for a classroom setting or prejudicial in gender, race, or ethnicity.
  • Do not use all caps in the message box unless you are emphasizing (it is considered shouting).
  • Be courteous and respectful to other people on the list
  • Do not overuse acronyms like you would use in text messaging. Some of the list participants may not be familiar with acronyms.
  • Use line breaks and paragraphs in long responses.
  • Write your full name at the end of the posting.
  • Be careful with sarcasm and subtle humor; one person's joke is another person's insult.

Professional Behavior of Caring and Respect in Classroom, Clinical Settings, University, and Community.

Faculty and students are expected to conduct themselves professionally—in demeanor, use of language, and appearance—in the presence of faculty, staff, other students, patients, and visitors in the classroom, laboratory and health care settings and the community.

Classroom Environment 

Faculty and students are expected to uphold a classroom atmosphere conducive to learning. The faculty is committed to providing the curriculum in a manner that will prepare graduates to be successful in the health care workplace. It is expected that students will be ready to work and listen at the beginning of class and after breaks.  Professional behavior means that students do not have to be called to order more than once.

Classroom Conduct 

Professional demeanor and courtesy to peers, faculty, and guests and/or guest lecturers in the classroom setting are essential to the teaching-learning experience.  Classroom conduct is expected to demonstrate mutual respect of faculty, students and peers.  Elected course representatives will participate in the management of peer classroom conduct

Make-Up/Late Submission Policy

All course activities must be submitted before or on set due dates and times. If the student is unable to abide by the due dates and times, it is her/his responsibility to contact the instructor immediately. Please upload all your work onto Canvas. If work is submitted late, 10% will be deducted from the assignment’s grade each day it is late. Late assignments will not be accepted after the third day of the due date.

Academic Dishonesty/Plagiarism/Cheating 

The academic community regards academic dishonesty as an extremely serious matter, with serious consequences. Any effort to gain an advantage not given to all students is dishonest whether or not the effort is successful.  Any suspicion of academic dishonesty will be reported and investigated. A student who engages in scholastic dishonesty that includes, but is not limited to cheating, plagiarism, and collusion will receive an “F” for the course.

All persons involved in academic dishonesty will be disciplined in accordance with University regulations and procedures. For complete information on UTPB student conduct and discipline procedures consult the University’s Handbook: Scholastic Dishonesty.

Academic dishonesty includes, but is not limited to cheating, plagiarism, collusion, falsifying academic records, misrepresenting facts, the submission for credit of any work or materials that are attributable in whole or in part to another person, taking an examination for another person, any act designed to give unfair advantage to a student such as, but not limited to, submission of essentially the same written assignment for two courses without the prior permission of the instructor, or the attempt to commit such acts.

Plagiarism includes, but is not limited to the appropriation of, buying, receiving as a gift, or obtaining by any means material that is attributable in whole or in part to another source, including words, ideas, illustrations, structure, computer code, other expression and media, and presenting that material as one's own academic work being offered for credit.

Attendance and Class Participation

All the course activities have set dates to be completed and submitted. After the due dates, the activities will not be available for the students. Your attendance is expected at every class and clinical session (This course does not require clinical practicum); attendance will be recorded at every class. This type of course requires participation in all areas for accurate evaluation of performance. Intelligent participation requires that you come prepared for the class. Your attendance is expected at every class and/or lab and clinical. Contact instructor immediately in case of emergency medical situation..

Tracking 

Learning management systems have tracking features.  Statistics are collected that quantifies how often and when students are active in the course and provides information if the student has accessed different pages of the course.

Absenteeism

Regular and active participation is crucial and expected to fully pass this course.  If for some reason, you are absent from the class, please fill out the absence form, and you have the option of either emailing the form or hand delivering a hard copy to the instructor’s office.

Course Incomplete/Withdrawal/Grade Appeal

All students are required to complete the course within the semester they are signed up.  Incomplete grades for the course are rarely given, will only be granted if the student provides a valid, documented excuse for not being able to complete the course on time, and has contacted the instructor prior to the scheduled last class to request an extension. The student signs a contract that includes the incomplete course activities and the new due dates.

Find information and dates regarding drops and withdrawals consult the University Handbook: Drops and Withdrawals and Appeal Process.

Accommodation for Students with Disabilities 

Students with Disabilities: The University of Texas of the Permian Basin in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act provides “reasonable accommodations” to students with disabilities. Any student with a disability who is requesting an accommodation for this course must provide the instructor with official documentation in the form of a letter from the ADA Officer for Students.  Only those students who have officially documented a need for an accommodation will have their request honored. **Adapted from UTSA ADA syllabus statement.**

Online Student Authentication

UTPB requires that each student who registers for an online course is the same student who participates in, completes, and receives credit for the course. UTPB’s Distance Education Policy requires faculty members to employ at least two methods of verification to ensure student identities.  To access online courses students must login to the UTPB learning management system using their unique personal identifying username and secure password.  UTPB’s Distance Education Policy requires at least one additional student identification method within the course that has been determined and approved by the faculty or academic program.  This course satisfies the second method of student authentication by:

  • Proctored exams using an approved photo ID*.
  • Presentation of approved photo ID* through a web cam and video recorded proctoring during assessment (Respondus Monitor, Examity)
  • Field or clinical experiences using an approved photo ID*.
  • Synchronous or asynchronous video activities using an approved photo ID*.
  • Other technologies or procedures [ONLINE FACULTY MUST SPECIFY]

*Approved up to date photo identifications are: passports, government issued identification, driver’s licenses, military ID from DoD.  Dual credit and early college high school students use school district identifications.

Using LockDown Browser & Respondus Monitor for Online Exams

This course requires the use of LockDown Browser and Monitor for online exams. Watch this short video to get a basic understanding of LockDown Browser and Monitor.

Download and install LockDown Browser

To take an online test, open LockDown Browser which opens Canvas and navigate to the exam. (You cannot access the exam with a standard web browser.)
When taking an online exam, follow these guidelines:

  • Setup web cam for exams using Monitor.
  • Ensure you're in a location where you won't be interrupted.
  • Turn off all mobile devices, phones, etc.
  • Clear your desk of all external materials — books, papers, other computers, or devices.
