There are policies in the LPN handbook about sleeping in class, cell phones and texting in class, and various other activities that are seen as distractions, however, my theory is you get out of it what you put into it. I will be less inclined to meet with you for review if I’ve noted you have not been attentive in class, no matter what the reason. You are expected to follow the rules set forth in the LPN handbook. You are expected to read the Chapters prior to the lecture day to be prepared for class discussions.Assignments/Quizzes**AssignmentsTopicDue DateHomework Assignments (2)Chapter 1-Learning StylesChapter 6-Medical ProgramJuly 21, 2020 @ 0759 100 points July 30, 2020 @ 0759 100 pointsEnd of Chapter Quizzes (4)Chapters 1, & 2 -Quiz # 1Chapter 4 & 6 -Quiz # 2Chapters 3 & 9 -Quiz # 3Chapters 10 & 11 -Quiz # 420 points25 points50 points50 points Notebook, planner, or calendarHomework Assignment (3) Create a written schedule**Follow grading Rubric**(due date: for final grade September 17, 2020);200 points Total points available:545 pointsGrading Scale: 94–100%= A 87- 93% = B 80–86% = CCourse Schedule**LessonChapter/Title/AssignmentDates**1Ch. 1- Adjusting to Student LifeJuly 14, 20202Ch. 2-The Student Nurse as a PersonJuly 16, 2020Homework Assignment # 1July 21, 2020 @ 07593Quiz # 1-Ch 1 & 2Ch. 4-Education for NursingPrior to lecture-Ch. 4July 22, 2020Homework Assignment # 2 (Medical Program)July 30, 2020 @ 07594Ch. 6- Nursing from Past to Present(lecture and discussion of homework)August 6, 20205 Quiz # 2-Ch. 4 & 6Ch. 3-Communication SkillsPrior to lecture-Ch. 3 August 27, 20206Ch. 9- Theory, Culture and Diversity in Nursing CareSeptember 3, 20207Quiz # 3-Ch. 3 & 9Ch. 10-Ethical Issues in Health CareCh. 11-Legally Responsible Nursing PracticePrior to lecture-Ch. 10 & 11September 10, 20208 Quiz # 4-Ch. 10 & 11September 17, 2020End of course*******Homework assignment # 3Grade will reflect in PVR I, but will be reviewed throughout the year** Instructor reserves the right to make changes to the syllabus, including quiz and assignment due dates as needed, with appropriate notification to students. ................
