EVALUATION METHODS/COURSE GRADE CALCULATION
Evaluation in this course is based on an average of numerical values from 4 objective exams, a satisfactory grade in clinical laboratory performance and integrated health exam demonstration. Exam scores are averaged and rounded to the nearest whole number to determine the final course grade.
• Final course grade is based on the exam average described below:
Exam #1 25%
Exam #2 25%
Exam #3 25%
Exam #4 25%
Total 100%
• Clinical Laboratory performance is graded:
S = Satisfactory U = Unsatisfactory
The Clinical Laboratory performance evaluation is based upon:
1. Viewing weekly assigned videos
2. Being prepared for Clinical laboratory sessions as evidenced by arriving to scheduled laboratory sessions on time with pre-lab preparation as assigned.
3. Participating in clinical laboratory and seminar experiences as scheduled.
4. Successfully completing assessment check-offs as scheduled.
• Integrated Health Exam is graded:
S = Satisfactory U = Unsatisfactory
• Examinations are used to demonstrate the student’s application, analysis, and synthesis of the course content. You must be present for all scheduled exams. Early testing is not an option. Make-up exams are given only for exceptional circumstances. Students must discuss the absence circumstances with David Derrico (352-273-6341) prior to the scheduled exam and a missed exam must be made up within one week. Missed check-offs will be rescheduled within a week with David Derrico.
