It is also possible to pass all Block exams, quizzes, and homework assignments and still fail the course by failing the final exam.

C. Homework/Abstracts

Medical stories of the week, written answers to knowledge objectives, workbook, handouts, portfolios and class assignments and any other assignments are to be completed and turned in on time and on the due date. If you are absent, you must immediately clear you absence and work must be turned in the very next day after the absence. If you are having trouble clearing your absence, immediately see the assistant principals. DO NOT WAIT. Homework must be handwritten, legible, and in the student’s own words. Photocopies will not be accepted. Homework will not be accepted late. You may only turn in one late assignment during the semester and will only be given one day grace period. All other late assignments, unless it is from an excused absent, will result in a zero (0).

Homework policy takes effect on August 13, 2018 and shall remain in effect until May 23, 2019.

Homework-we keep up with the policy to ensure student success in the program

1. If a student does not follow program guidelines, 1st time, student will be

counseled and counseling session will be documented

2. If a student does not follow program guidelines, 2nd time, parent contact

will be made/administrators contacted if needed

D. Quizzes/Simulations

Unannounced quizzes will be given. They may be given before the lecture or after the lecture. Quizzes may include questions from the assignments for that class day or any prior assignments. There will be no make-up or retest on any quiz if you have an unexcused absence. The grade for a missed quiz is a zero.

Patient simulations/scenarios will also be used in the classroom setting. Such simulations may, at the discretion of the instructor, be counted as quiz grades. NOT ALL SIMULATIONS/SCENARIOS ARE SUBJECT TO GRADES. Missed simulations will be counted as a missed quiz and assigned a grade of zero if the absence is unexcused. If absence is excused, no grade will be assigned.

At the end of the year, students are tested for National Registry of Emergency Medical Technician Skills. SOME OF THESE SKILLS MAY BE SUBJECT TO A GRADE BUT NOT ALL OF THEM WILL. IT WILL BE AT THE DISCRETION OF THE INSTRUCTOR WHICH SKILLS WILL BE COUNTED AS A GRADE AND IF IT WILL BE COUNTED AS A QUIZ OR HOMEWORK GRADE

Quiz policy takes effect on August 13, 2018 and shall remain in effect until May 23, 2019.

counseled and counseling session will be documented

2. If a student does not follow program guidelines, 2nd time, parent contact

will be made/administrators contacted if needed

E. Block Examinations

There will be five (5) block examinations given. A passing score on a block exam is 75%. Each of the five block examinations must have a grade of 75 or above to pass the course.

In the event the student does not obtain a passing score on a block examination s/he will be allowed one retest on three (3) of the five block examinations.

The retest must be taken on assigned date given by instructor. The score on the retest will be averaged in with the score of the initial test and the resulting average score will be entered as a single block exam grade and used to complete the student’s overall course average. The average must result in a 75 average. All retest must be completed prior to the final written examination.

Failure to take a block exam on the scheduled day will result in a ten- (10) point penalty to be deducted from the test score. The only reason you are exempt from taking the test on the designated day is due to an EXCUSED ABSENCE. The missed block examination will be arranged with Ms Manriquez and be done the next day after the absence or a grade of zero will be assigned to that examination, and only if the absence is excused. Your absence must be excused before returning to class so please make sure you call both your home campus and CCTE when you are absent!

If a student is aware that s/he will not be in class on a scheduled test day, s/he should notify the instructor and make arrangements to take the test early so that s/he will not be penalized. IF TEST IS NOT TAKEN EARLY, IT IS SUBJECT TO THE 10 POINT PENALTY

Students must pass all block exams with a 75% or higher and maintain an overall average of 75% or higher to participate in clinical rotations.

There is no retest on the midterm and final examination

G. Skills Proficiency Examinations - Laboratory

Students will be required to demonstrate competency in skills throughout the semester. Skill checklists and performance criteria by which skill proficiencies will be evaluated are included in the student manual. The Preclinical Evaluations Skills Sheet must be completed prior to assignment of clinical rotations. These will be graded on a pass / fail basis. Criteria for skills and evaluations has been developed using the competencies identified by both the Department of Transportation (DOT), Texas Department of State Health Services (TDSHS), National Registry of EMT guidelines. The criteria reflect expected competencies at the EMT-Basic level of practice.

Students will have the opportunity to practice all skills on the checklists. When testing, if a student’s performance on a skill is unsatisfactory, the instructor will provide feedback by demonstrating the procedure again and observing the student practice the skill. This feedback /practice will not count as a retest.

Retest for skills must be completed within ten (10) calendar days of the initial exam. Students are encouraged to practice with an instructor until proficient in the skill(s) before retesting. The student will be allowed two- (2) retest.

In addition to individual skill stations, skill proficiency examinations contain total patient care simulations. The simulations will count as quiz grades. Students must pass two of three patient care simulations to pass the course.

Students must be in full uniform to be eligible to test for the above skills. Failure to test and pass the above skills will result in failure of course. Uniform specifications will be discussed later in the syllabus.

H. Final Skills Testing - State Skills Verification

All skills taught in the course will be tested in the final skill examinations. In addition, students must pass all required Texas Department of State Health Services EMS skills. State score sheets and criteria will be used for state skills verification. In the event a student fails a skill, s/he will be provided additional training and practice, not to exceed four hours, before s/he will be allowed to retest. An affidavit signed by the instructor must be presented for a retest. The student has the right to refuse additional training. Refusal of additional training can be documented and signed by the student on an affidavit and presented for a retest to an examiner. The student will be allowed two- (2) retests. If the student does not pass all skills by the third attempt, the student has failed the course.

Note: All skills on all checklists and the final skills examinations must be passed to pass the course.

Students must be in full uniform to be eligible to test for the above skills. Failure to test and pass the above skills will also result in failure of course. Uniform specifications will be discussed later in the syllabus.

V. Instructors Policies

A. Criminal Background

See: “Criminal Background Statement” section of current college catalog. Individuals who have been convicted of a felony or specific misdemeanors may not be allowed to take state/national registry examinations. Students with criminal backgrounds are advised to contact Raul Guerrero (TDSHS/EMS) at 915-834-7709 regarding certification Rule 157.44 or speak to Ms Manriquez, Mrs. Prado, or EPCC Program Director Tony Ayub.

B. Health & Safety

Information was disseminated advising students of the need for documentation of the following no later than September 1, 2018

1. A physical examination no older than two years in which the physician indicates the student is in good health and has unlimited restrictions on any activities.

2. Current specified immunizations/screenings/titers.

3. American Heart Association CPR Health Care Provider Card. The CPR course must have been taken within one year.

4. Background and Drug Screening.

5. Community Wide Orientation (CWO) and Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) training

In the case of an accident which results in injury, a physician’s note stating the individual may return to class with “unlimited physical restrictions” must be submitted before the student will be allowed to participate in laboratory or clinical experiences.

Unprofessional and/or unsafe conduct in the classroom/laboratory will be grounds for counseling and/or removal from the classroom/laboratory until the issue is resolved.

While the college does not wish to restrict the students’ participation in their program of study, students who are or become pregnant while enrolled in the EMT program need to advise their instructor and present the doctor’s orders, as well as review the Guidelines for Students Who Are or Become Pregnant During Their Program of Study. The intent is to determine if an accommodation plan can be developed.

C. Attendance/Tardiness

See: “Attendance and Course Pursuit” Section of the 2017-2018 college catalog and El Paso Independent School Districts attendance policies. Each student has the responsibility for attending class, participating in all class activities and pursuing the objectives of the course(s) for which s/he is officially enrolled. The instructor for each course will provide the student with a copy of a Course Pursuit, which identifies the instructor’s requirements for attendance. Students who have not attended at least one (1) class session through the census date for the semester/session may be dropped.

In determining course pursuit by the student, the instructor will also consider the failure of the student to appear for laboratory / skills practice, examinations, presentations, or other required class activities identified in the course syllabus; and the failure of the student to submit required papers, projects and/or reports. When on the basis of a combination of these benchmarks, the instructor determines the student has ceased to pursue the objectives of the course; the instructor may withdraw the student per College policies.

Students withdrawn in this manner may be reinstated only upon appeal to the appropriate instructor. Such appeals must be initiated, in writing, within ten (10) days from the date the withdrawal was processed by the Registrar’s Office. If the instructor denies reinstatement, appeals may be initiated through the appropriate Instructional Dean. Students enrolled in remedial programs will be withdrawn for excessive unexcused absences, immediately upon the third hour of unexcused absence.

Tardiness will not be tolerated. Any missed quizzes due to an unexcused tardiness will be unexcused and a grade of zero will be entered for that day.

Students will have transportation provide to hospital clinicals. You may not drive to hospital clinical site. You must make arrangements to have someone pick you up from the clinical site as there is no transportation back to CCTE after hospital clinicals. You must provide your own transportation to ambulance clinicals.

The Texas Department of State Health Services requires that all students participating in EMSP 1501 complete 160 hours of contact time in the instructional environment. The Texas Department of State Health Services further requires that all students participating in EMSP 1160 complete 48 hours of contact time in the clinical environment
