Class Attendance
1. The student must attend the class (es) for which he/she is enrolled.
2. A student enrolled at Wayland Baptist University should make every effort to attend all class meetings. All absences must be explained to the satisfaction of the instructor, who will decide whether the omitted work can be made up. If enrolled in the online course weekly online participation to include appropriate academic construction of Discussion Postings is required. Refer to the Discussion Posting Rubric that is contained within this Syllabus.
3. A face-to-face student who misses twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the regularly scheduled class meetings will receive a grade of “F” for that class. An online Student not engaging in the weekly discussions will be considered Absent and thus more than 2 weeks absent (or 25%) of online engagement would be considered a failure for the online course
4. When a student reaches a number of absences considered by the instructor to be excessive, the instructor will so advise the student and file a Report of Unsatisfactory Progress (ROUP) at the San Antonio Campus.
To be counted as actively participating, it is not sufficient to log in and view the course. The student must be submitting work as described in the course syllabus. Additional attendance policies for each course, as defined by the instructor in the course syllabus, are considered a part of the university’s attendance policy. A student may petition the Academic Council for exceptions to the above stated policies by filing a written request for an appeal to the executive vice president/provost. Clinical, class time may be adjusted because of instructor, school, or facility needs.

CLINICAL AND LAB ATTENDANCE POLICY:
Students must attend all clinical activities as assigned including orientation, computer training, simulation lab, and extrinsic sites. WBU has a mandatory clinical and lab attendance policy. Therefore, there are no excused absences in clinical or labs. Unacceptable reasons for missing a clinical experience are work, travel, or social reasons. A student will notify their clinical instructor verbally at least one hour prior to the absence and notify course coordinator within 24 hour. Faculty may require withdrawal of any student who has missed sufficient clinical to prevent completion of clinical outcomes and/or objectives.
Late arrival to clinical or post conference is not acceptable. Three late arrivals are defined as one absence. Any student reporting to clinical or lab after the scheduled time is subject to penalties and consequences associated with failure of professionalism and accountability. For each offense a written STAR counseling statement will be completed.
Students may not attend clinical or labs to which they are not assigned. WBU requires students to attend the full number of clinical and lab hours.
STUDENT DISMISSAL FROM CLINICAL (PATIENT CARE SETTING):
The clinical faculty or facility may dismiss a student from one or all clinical days determined as incapable of performing safe care. The student will be dismissed immediately from that clinical day and an absence will be recorded
(as defined by DECS – see attached). Dismissal from clinical for this reason may result in a clinical failure for the day and/or course.
CLINICAL PLACEMENT OF NURSING STUDENTS:
Arrangements for clinical placement of nursing students are made through the Clinical Liaison. Facilities may be in San Antonio, Bexar County, or surrounding counties.
STATEMENT ON PLAGIARISM AND ACADEMIC DISHONESTY:
University students are expected to conduct themselves according to the highest standards of academic honesty. Academic misconduct for which a student is subject to penalty includes all forms of cheating, such as illicit possession of examinations or examination materials, forgery, or plagiarism. (Plagiarism is the presentation of the work of another as one’s own work.) Disciplinary action for academic misconduct is the responsibility of the faculty member assigned to the course. The faculty member is charged with assessing the gravity of any case of academic dishonesty and with giving sanctions to any student involved. Penalties that may be applied to individual cases of academic dishonesty include one or more of the following:
1. Written reprimand.
2. Requirements to redo work in question.
3. Requirement to submit additional work.
4. Lowering of grade on work in question.
5. Assigning the grade of F to work in question.
6. Assigning the grade of F for the course.
7. Recommendation for more severe punishment (see student handbook for further information).
The faculty member involved will file a record of the offense and the punishment imposed with the school dean, external campus executive director/dean, and the executive vice president/provost. The executive vice president/provost will maintain records of all cases of academic dishonesty reported for not more than two years. Any student who has been penalized for academic dishonesty has the right to appeal the judgment or the penalty assessed. The appeals procedure will be the same as that specified for student grade appeals.
DISABILITY STATEMENT:
In compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA), it is the policy of Wayland Baptist University that no otherwise qualified person with a disability be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subject to discrimination under any educational program or activity in the university. The Coordinator of Counseling Services serves as the coordinator of students with a disability and should be contacted concerning accommodation requests at (806) 291-3765. Documentation of a disability must accompany any request for accommodations.
COURSE REQUIREMENTS AND GRADING CRITERIA:
Students shall have protection through orderly procedures against prejudices or capricious academic evaluation. A student who believes that he or she has not been held to realistic academic standards, just evaluation procedures, or appropriate grading, may appeal the final grade given in the course by using the student grade appeal process described in the Academic Catalog. Appeals may not be made for advanced placement examinations or course bypass
examinations. Appeals are limited to the final course grade, which may be upheld, raised, or lowered at any stage of the appeal process. Any recommendation to lower a course grade must be submitted through the Executive Vice President/Provost to the Faculty Assembly Grade Appeals Committee for review and approval. The Faculty Assembly Grade Appeals Committee may instruct that the course grade be upheld, raised, or lowered to a more proper evaluation.
|Grading Scale |
|A |90-100 |
|B |80-89 |
|C |75-79 |
|D |70-74 |
|F |69 and below |
Final grade will be rounded to the nearest tenth decimal place. For example, 0.5 and above rounds to the NEXT whole number. Exemplar: 89.49 will be rounded to 89.4 which equals a B; 89.50 will be rounded to 90 which equals an A. A 75% or greater is the required grade to pass nursing courses.
Tentative schedule (calendar, topics, assignments) will be posted in blackboard under the Course Information tab. A brief outline is provided within this syllabus.

The clinical, simulation, and skills lab portion of the course is on a pass/fail basis and must be passed to pass the course. The Level Two Clinical Evaluation forms will be used to determine the students pass or fail performance for this course. The evaluation form will be posted on Blackboard.
POLICY REGARDING DUE DATES FOR WRITTEN ASSIGNMENTS:
Written work will be submitted on the announced due date, time & location unless prior arrangements were made with the faculty. Failure to notify faculty will result in a grade of zero/UNMET for that assignment. Students are responsible for contacting the course faculty if there is any difficulty in understanding the course/clinical materials or completing the course/clinical assignments. Late or incomplete clinical assignments result in an UNMET and may result in clinical failure. All assignments will be submitted in PDF format through BlackBoard, unless otherwise specified by the faculty.
QUIZZES:
Pop quizzes will be given throughout the term. Quizzes will be given during class time and will not be announced prior to the quiz. All quiz grades will be averaged to comprise 5% of the overall grade in the class. Missed quizzes are not able to be made up.
TESTS AND EXAMS:
A test blueprint may be prepared by the faculty and made available to the student before the exam. The blueprint will provide the student with the generalized subject content, the number of questions in that subject area and the type of question. The type of question can be categorized by the areas of the nursing process: assessment, planning, implementation, and evaluation or by cognitive level, knowledge, comprehension, application, and evaluation. In the event a faculty must change a test date, students will be notified before the scheduled test or exam. When using Scantron testing, Scantron answers are the official submission of answers and the only answers that will be accepted. The final is comprehensive, no blueprint will be provided. Test results may be provided to the student within 72 hours after the exam. Exam reviews can only be done with the current test and must be done within one week of testing. There will not be a review of the final exam. Any challenges to test questions must be submitted in writing, supported with rationale and text page numbers, and explained what that answer is best. The course faculty will review the challenge and respond within 72 hours.
MISSED TESTS OR EXAMS:
If the student must miss a test or exam, he or she must notify the faculty as soon as possible before the scheduled test/exam. A date for the make-up test must be arranged with the faculty, make up shall be within one week of the missed test or the student will receive a zero. An alternate test on the subject matter will be provided and no blueprint will be provided for the make-up test. Missed exams will result in a Report of Unsatisfactory Progress filed at the San Antonio Campus.
CELL PHONE POLICY:
Respect for faculty and fellow students are necessary for teaching and learning in the classroom and clinical settings. You are required to silence cell phones, silence other mobile devices, and remove Bluetooth devices prior to entering any classrooms and laboratory settings. No cell phones are permitted during tests/exams. Failure to follow this policy can affect your class participation (including requested dismissal from the classroom), laboratory or final course grade.
STUDENT RESPONSIBILITIES:
Students are adult learners and responsible for self-directed study to complete this course. Check postings on blackboard each day. Learn to become a resource broker, speak professionally and use citations, it is part of professional nursing. Assignments and presentation have due dates and points shall be reduced if not punctual. The profession of nursing requires punctuality in documentation and attendance. It also requires reliability as fellow staff and administration rely on you to come to work prepared. Patients rely on you to know the current state of their health and current professional standards. Citations and references are to be used and documented using the professional citation of nursing, APA (6th edition) format.
Research and writing competency is an expectation in professional nursing, therefore, effective writing and proficiency in research is required in this course. ENGL 1301 and RSWR 3345 are required prior to this course and provide preparation for the writing level required in this course. Research and writing competencies are expected, source selection shall be nursing peer reviewed, format, citations, organization, grammar and mechanics can impact your grade on written assignments or discussion boards.
Group process is an essential part of professional nursing, therefore, group projects will be required in various nursing courses. Just as various shifts are responsible for patient care and nurses rely on each other and other professionals to accomplish total care, you will rely on each other and work together for a particular project.
REPORT OF UNSATISFACTORY PROGRESS:
Report of Unsatisfactory Progress may be issued to a student at any point during the semester via email and/or hard copy. This form places the student on academic notice. It is designed to be a written communication tool between faculty, faculty, and University Administration. The tool may communicate but is not limited to a problem in the following areas:
1) Excessive absences (Theory or Clinical)
2) Failing to submit assignments (Theory or Clinical)
3) Submitting inadequate assignments (Theory or Clinical)
4) Failing to thoroughly Complete ATI Focused Reviews on all ATI Practice Tests and/or ATI Proctored Exams (will result in a No-Pass in Clinical)
5) Failing to take adequate notes
6) Failing tests/ Failing to do assigned reading

9) Giving excessive time to nonacademic activities
CLASS ATTIRE:
Class attire will be “Professional Casual”. Short shorts, visible cleavage, halter tops, muscle shirts, and revealing attire are unacceptable. Non-compliance will result in dismissal for the day and counted toward absence. We embrace the Christian values of our University and professional values of Nursing.
STUDENT CONDUCT:
Wayland proudly adheres to high standards of intellectual, moral, ethical, and spiritual values. Convinced that self-discipline is more desirable than outside force and that the truly educated person must pursue what is right under all circumstances, Wayland entrusts each student with the solemn obligation of preserving these standards.
However, in the light of revelation, reason, and the custom of the Christian community from which Wayland has sprung, certain practices are evaluated:
1. Personal integrity in keeping with New Testament standards is expected of all students.
2. Respect for the property, knowledge, and rights of other people must prevail.
3. The use or possession of alcoholic beverages and/or illegal drugs is forbidden.
4. Gambling, hazing, and the on-campus possession of firearms or deadly weapons are prohibited. BB Guns and Paint Ball Guns are also prohibited.
5. The use of tobacco by students is discouraged, though permitted in certain designated areas of the campus. In consideration of the rights of others and the requirements of safety, such areas are designated.
6. No head gear will be allowed in the classroom setting
7. No inappropriate clothing will be worn in the classroom setting
The authority of the University is exercised over all student groups or organizations bearing the name of the university, or any student enterprises to the extent necessary to safeguard the good name and well-being of Wayland. Specifically, each student is expected to conduct himself in such a manner as to uphold, not detract from, the good name of Wayland Baptist University. If one feels that he/she cannot subscribe to the moral and social practices of the University, he/she will find greater acceptance elsewhere. (This is a statement of conduct standards. It is enforced in conjunction with the Discipline Policy and Substance Abuse Policy found elsewhere in this handbook).
