Course Requirements and Evaluation


1. Prior to each class meeting, students should read the assigned chapter,
complete the chapter model, and/or complete the assigned homework.
2. Homework will be assigned for each chapter. That homework may be discussed
during the following class meeting and will be taken up for a grade. Sample
problems and exercises over assigned reading, discussion topics, and homework
problems may be given and gone over during class in order to illustrate the class
material. Quizzes covering the subject chapter or homework may be given
instead of reviewing sample problems, so students should come to class each
day prepared for a quiz.
3. Students must attend classes regularly and arrive promptly. Attendance records,
including classes missed and any tardiness will be maintained for each class
meeting. Attendance, including tardiness, will be taken into consideration in
assigning class grades.
4. Complete four scheduled exams.

Course Policies
Class Procedures: Each day in class, students should be prepared to discuss the
previously assigned homework and/or cover the scheduled chapter in the book. Time
may also be used for individual/group work on the exercises in the chapter.
Class Conduct: Please turn off (or silence) and put away all cell phones, pagers, mp3s,
headphones, etc. before entering the classroom. Gadgets that interrupt class may be
confiscated. No obscene/vulgar language will be permitted in the classroom. No
tobacco products are allowed in the classroom.
Course # (ACCT 2401) – Tim Kingsbury Page 2 of 3
 
Class Attendance: Daily class attendance is critical for the successful completion of this
course, as well as for training for future employment. After three absences, make-up of
work assigned during the absence may not be allowed. Three tardy arrivals count as
one absence for attendance purposes. Withdrawal requests due to a low grade MUST
BE initiated by the student. The last day for a student to drop a course with a grade of
"W" is THURSDAY, November 18. Requests for withdrawal become official and
effective the date they are received in the records office. Students who stop coming to
class but fail to drop the course will earn an “F” for the course. Missed quizzes may not
be made up; quizzes already in progress when a student arrives late may not be taken.
Late Work: Late assignments will be accepted with penalty (at least 20%) for a brief
period. Assignments made before and due during an absence will be accepted without
penalty only on the first day of the student’s return to class, IF the instructor was
previously notified of the reason for the absence. Assignments can always be
submitted early. No late assignments will be accepted during the last week of classes
or the week of final exams.
Exams: Students must take exams over chapters according to the class schedule.
Students who must miss an exam because of school-related functions or job-related
requirements may schedule an early exam IF the instructor receives official notification
from the student’s coach or boss that the student will be out of town on the date of the
exam. Any additional missed exams will result in a score of zero unless extenuating
circumstances exist. No books or materials will be allowed in the classroom during
exams other than materials specially provided by instructor, if any.
Expectations: Students will read the assigned chapter and/or attempt to complete the
assigned homework before each class session. Instructor expects students who do not
understand either the chapter material or the homework will identify any challenging
areas to the instructor so they can be covered in class, during office hours or during a
mutually convenient scheduled time. Instructor expects that students who apply
themselves will be able to learn the course materials.

Course Policies
Grading:
Attendance & Participation: 25%
Final Exam: 25%
Quizzes & Assignments: 50%
Grade scale is based on a calculated average: A (90-100); B (80-89); C (70-79); D
(60-69); F(0-59). Students all begin the semester with 25% of their final grade already
credited to their favor. 25% of the final grade includes attendance and participation. Fifty
points are awarded for acceptable behavior/participation in class and fifty points are
awarded for attendance, a total of 100 points. A percentage will be calculated of the
number of attended class periods divided by total class periods. This percentage will
then be multiplied by the possible 50 points for attendance. The 50 points for
behavior/participation are subject to the instructor’s decision. 25% of the possible 100
points will then be added to the final grade.
Assignments: All assignments are expected on the due date given AT CLASS TIME.
If you miss class, you are expected to email your assignment by class time. Late
assignments will not be accepted.
In-Class Assignments: Grades will be taken on in-class work most of the time. If you
miss class, you need to turn in or show your work the next class period. No work will be
accepted past the following class day of your absence.
Missed quizzes: If you are absent on the day of a quiz, you may choose to write a
one page essay on your favorite hobby. This paper will be graded for grammar and
spelling. You may write in first person in a 12-point font double spaced, but do NOT use
contractions.
Being prepared for class: Students need to be prepared for EVERY CLASS. Bring
book, flash drive, paper and pen or pencil ALWAYS.
Attendance: Attendance is required for this class. Attendance credit requires your
presence the entire class period. If you are late to class, it is YOUR responsibility to see

COSC 1400 - Eckhardt Page 4 of 5


 
that you are counted present as you will have been marked absent in the roll. Do not
plan to leave class early.
Withdrawal requests due to a low grade MUST be initiated by the student. The last
day for a student to drop a course with a grade of “W” is November 18, 2010. Requests
for withdrawal become official and effective the date they are received in the records
office. Students who stop coming to class but fail to drop the course will earn an “F” for
the course.
Academic honesty: Students are expected to uphold the school’s standard of
conduct relating to academic honesty. Students assume full responsibility for the
content and integrity of the academic work they submit. The guiding principle of
academic integrity shall be that a student’s submitted work, examinations, reports, and
projects must be that of the student’s own work. Students shall be guilty of violating the
honor code if they represent the work of others, use or obtain unauthorized assistance
in any academic work, give unauthorized assistance to other students, modify (without
instructor approval) an exam paper/record/report for the purpose of obtaining additional
credit, misrepresent the content of submitted work, and/or lie to the instructor. Any
student violating the honor code will receive a zero for the first violation and will
automatically receive a failing grade in the course for the second violation. Any student
violating the honor code the first time will be required to complete a ten page essay on
the subject of “Honesty and Its Importance” written in a 12-point font and double-spaced
with one inch margins. Failure to complete this essay within the time allotted by the
instructor will cause automatic failure in the course. Do not give any appearance of what
could be considered cheating.
Student conduct in the classroom: Any acts of classroom disruption that go beyond
the normal rights of students to questions and discuss with instructors the educational
process relative to subject content will not be tolerated, in accordance with the
Academic Code of Conduct described in the Student Handbook.
Children: PJC policy prohibits children in the classroom or lab facilities.
Electronic devices in the classroom: Cell phones, pagers, CD players, radios and
similar devices are prohibited in the classroom and lab facilities.
Disclaimer statement: The schedule, policies, procedures and assignments in this
course syllabus are subject to change.

Grading:
Attendance & Participation: 25%
Final Exam: 25%
Quizzes & Assignments: 50%
Grade scale is based on a calculated average: A (90-100); B (80-89); C (70-79); D
(60-69); F(0-59). Students all begin the semester with 25% of their final grade already
credited to their favor. 25% of the final grade includes attendance and participation. Fifty
points are awarded for acceptable behavior/participation in class and fifty points are
awarded for attendance, a total of 100 points. A percentage will be calculated of the
number of attended class periods divided by total class periods. This percentage will
then be multiplied by the possible 50 points for attendance. The 50 points for
behavior/participation are subject to the instructor’s decision. 25% of the possible 100
points will then be added to the final grade.
Assignments: All assignments are expected on the due date given AT CLASS TIME.
If you miss class, you are expected to email your assignment by class time. Late
assignments will not be accepted.
In-Class Assignments: Grades will be taken on in-class work most of the time. If you
miss class, you need to turn in or show your work the next class period. No work will be
accepted past the following class day of your absence.
Missed quizzes: If you are absent on the day of a quiz, you may choose to write a
one page essay on your favorite hobby. This paper will be graded for grammar and
spelling. You may write in first person in a 12-point font double spaced, but do NOT use
contractions.
Being prepared for class: Students need to be prepared for EVERY CLASS. Bring
book, flash drive, paper and pen or pencil ALWAYS.
Attendance: Attendance is required for this class. Attendance credit requires your
presence the entire class period. If you are late to class, it is YOUR responsibility to see

COSC 1400 - Eckhardt Page 4 of 5


 
that you are counted present as you will have been marked absent in the roll. Do not
plan to leave class early.
Withdrawal requests due to a low grade MUST be initiated by the student. The last
day for a student to drop a course with a grade of “W” is November 18, 2010. Requests
for withdrawal become official and effective the date they are received in the records
office. Students who stop coming to class but fail to drop the course will earn an “F” for
the course.
Academic honesty: Students are expected to uphold the school’s standard of
conduct relating to academic honesty. Students assume full responsibility for the
content and integrity of the academic work they submit. The guiding principle of
academic integrity shall be that a student’s submitted work, examinations, reports, and
projects must be that of the student’s own work. Students shall be guilty of violating the
honor code if they represent the work of others, use or obtain unauthorized assistance
in any academic work, give unauthorized assistance to other students, modify (without
instructor approval) an exam paper/record/report for the purpose of obtaining additional
credit, misrepresent the content of submitted work, and/or lie to the instructor. Any
student violating the honor code will receive a zero for the first violation and will
automatically receive a failing grade in the course for the second violation. Any student
violating the honor code the first time will be required to complete a ten page essay on
the subject of “Honesty and Its Importance” written in a 12-point font and double-spaced
with one inch margins. Failure to complete this essay within the time allotted by the
instructor will cause automatic failure in the course. Do not give any appearance of what
could be considered cheating.
Student conduct in the classroom: Any acts of classroom disruption that go beyond
the normal rights of students to questions and discuss with instructors the educational
process relative to subject content will not be tolerated, in accordance with the
Academic Code of Conduct described in the Student Handbook.
Children: PJC policy prohibits children in the classroom or lab facilities.
Electronic devices in the classroom: Cell phones, pagers, CD players, radios and
similar devices are prohibited in the classroom and lab facilities.
Disclaimer statement: The schedule, policies, procedures and assignments in this
course syllabus are subject to change.

Course Requirements and Evaluation


This course absolutely requires keyboarding skills.

Course Policies
Grading:
Attendance & Participation: 25%
Final Exam: 25%
Quizzes & Assignments: 50%
Grade scale is based on a calculated average: A (90-100); B (80-89); C (70-79); D
(60-69); F(0-59). Students all begin the semester with 25% of their final grade already
credited to their favor. 25% of the final grade includes attendance and participation. Fifty
points are awarded for acceptable behavior/participation in class and fifty points are
awarded for attendance, a total of 100 points. A percentage will be calculated of the
number of attended class periods divided by total class periods. This percentage will
then be multiplied by the possible 50 points for attendance. The 50 points for
behavior/participation are subject to the instructor’s decision. 25% of the possible 100
points will then be added to the final grade.
Assignments: All assignments are expected on the due date given AT CLASS TIME.
If you miss class, you are expected to email your assignment by class time. Late
assignments will not be accepted.
In-Class Assignments: Grades will be taken on in-class work most of the time. If you
miss class, you need to turn in or show your work the next class period. No work will be
accepted past the following class day of your absence.
Missed quizzes: If you are absent on the day of a quiz, you may choose to write a
one page essay on your favorite hobby. This paper will be graded for grammar and
spelling. You may write in first person in a 12-point font double spaced, but do NOT use
contractions.
Being prepared for class: Students need to be prepared for EVERY CLASS. Bring
book, flash drive, paper and pen or pencil ALWAYS.
Attendance: Attendance is required for this class. Attendance credit requires your
presence the entire class period. If you are late to class, it is YOUR responsibility to see

COSC 1400 - Eckhardt Page 4 of 5


 
that you are counted present as you will have been marked absent in the roll. Do not
plan to leave class early.
Withdrawal requests due to a low grade MUST be initiated by the student. The last
day for a student to drop a course with a grade of “W” is November 18, 2010. Requests
for withdrawal become official and effective the date they are received in the records
office. Students who stop coming to class but fail to drop the course will earn an “F” for
the course.
Academic honesty: Students are expected to uphold the school’s standard of
conduct relating to academic honesty. Students assume full responsibility for the
content and integrity of the academic work they submit. The guiding principle of
academic integrity shall be that a student’s submitted work, examinations, reports, and
projects must be that of the student’s own work. Students shall be guilty of violating the
honor code if they represent the work of others, use or obtain unauthorized assistance
in any academic work, give unauthorized assistance to other students, modify (without
instructor approval) an exam paper/record/report for the purpose of obtaining additional
credit, misrepresent the content of submitted work, and/or lie to the instructor. Any
student violating the honor code will receive a zero for the first violation and will
automatically receive a failing grade in the course for the second violation. Any student
violating the honor code the first time will be required to complete a ten page essay on
the subject of “Honesty and Its Importance” written in a 12-point font and double-spaced
with one inch margins. Failure to complete this essay within the time allotted by the
instructor will cause automatic failure in the course. Do not give any appearance of what
could be considered cheating.
Student conduct in the classroom: Any acts of classroom disruption that go beyond
the normal rights of students to questions and discuss with instructors the educational
process relative to subject content will not be tolerated, in accordance with the
Academic Code of Conduct described in the Student Handbook.
Children: PJC policy prohibits children in the classroom or lab facilities.
Electronic devices in the classroom: Cell phones, pagers, CD players, radios and
similar devices are prohibited in the classroom and lab facilities.
Disclaimer statement: The schedule, policies, procedures and assignments in this
course syllabus are subject to change.

Course Policies
Class Attendance: Traditional students are expected to attend class and be on time.
Online students are expected to login frequently (at least twice per week).

General Policies and Procedures:


Please understand I am not available 24/7. Please expect that it may take one working
day for me to respond to emails. My working days are Monday – Friday. Although I
often do so, please don’t expect that I will respond to emails over the weekend.

There will be NO makeup work or reopening of closed assignments. Please complete


assignments prior to the assignment closing due date.

In most cases, incompletes will not be given. Unless you have an extended illness that
requires hospitalization or something of a similar nature during the last three (3) weeks
of class, please do not expect that I will issue an incomplete. Failure to complete
assignments prior to the due date will result in a zero on that assignment.

The midterm and the final exam are closed book and closed notes. They must be
proctored at a testing center.

A note about testing centers:

If you reside outside the PJC service area, you may take proctored exams at the testing
center of a different college. Some colleges charge a fee for this service. The student
will be responsible for any fees incurred. If you are taking your exam at a non-PJC
facility, the proctor will need to contact me for instructions, WebCT passwords, etc.
.
More information about the Testing Center on the PJC Paris Campus can be found at
http://www.parisjc.edu/index.php/main/content/about-testing-center/. If you would like to
take your exams on a different PJC campus or at a different testing center, please
contact that location for further instructions. If it is not a PJC testing center, they will
need to contact me for proctoring instructions.

Login frequently:
Please log into WebCT frequently. If I need to contact you, it could be through this
system. Some students have a very bad habit of logging into WebCT on the first class
day and printing everything that they can and then logging back in very infrequently.
This is a very bad practice. You need to log in at least twice per week. There may be
changes and updates that you need to be aware of throughout the semester.

General information about Web CT:


1) Sign on
a) Access the website either through the PJC homepage (http://www.parisjc.edu/)
and then clicking on the WebCT link OR go directly to the site
http://webct.paris.cc.tx.us:8900/webct/public/home.pl)

Course # BMGT 1327 – Donna Anderson Page 8 of 9


i) I recommend that you bookmark the path to go directly to the WebCT site. This
way, if the PJC website is down you can still access the class.
b) Log on.
i) Remember, your userid is initial of first name, initial of middle name, and then
last name all in lowercase.
ii) Your password is the last four digits of you social security number.
2) Once you have logged in, select the course name.
3) This brings you to the course homepage

Academic Honesty:
In pursuit of learning, it is expected that students will engage in honest academic
endeavor to the highest degree of honor and integrity. Students who are found to
engage in academic dishonesty through such activities as cheating on exams,
plagiarism, or collusion with others will be referred to the Vice President of Student
Services for disciplinary action such as dismissal from the college. Student violations
involving a question of academic honesty are handled by the faculty member(s)
involved. Should the student object to the decision of the faculty member(s), the
appeals procedures for instructional due process may be utilized. The following list
describes the most common forms of academic dishonesty (cheating):
1. Taking an exam for another student.
2. Having another student take an exam for you.
3. Altering or forging an official college document.
4. Paying someone to write a paper to submit as your own work.
5. Arranging with other students to give or receive answers by us of signals.

Course Requirements and Evaluation

1. Textbooks Assignments—Students are expected to read the assigned material and


complete assignments according to the assignment schedule which will include
assignments from various sections of each chapter. Some of those sections are: Frontline
Focus, Internet Exercises, Ethical Dilemma Case Studies, Review Questions, Review
Exercises, and Discussion Exercises. These assignments are worth 50% of your grade.
There are no right or wrong answers on the Frontline Focus, Ethical Dilemmas Case
Studies, or Discussion Exercises, so you will not be “graded” (receive a letter or numerical
grade on your answers). If I think you are way off base according to the answers in the
instructor’s manual, I will ask you to rethink your answers. There will be right and wrong
answers to the Internet Exercises, Review Questions, and Review Exercises. However, if
you answer the questions incorrectly, I will have you go back and find the correct answers
until you get them right so you can get full credit for this part of your grade! So do them
right the first time. If you get all of these assignments done, you will get the 50 points for
this part of your grade.
2. Quizzes—There will be nine (9) quizzes (taken through webct), all equal in points. Each
exam will cover one chapter. You will take these at home on your computer. You will
have two chances if needed and the highest grade will be recorded. You may use your
book. There will be 20 questions of True-False, Multiple-Choice, and Fill-in-the-Blank.
You will have two hours to take each exam. These exams are worth 35% of your grade.
3. Final Exam—Your final exam will be Quiz 10 (taken through webct) over Chapter 10 in
your textbook. You will need a password to take your final exam. The final exam may be
taken with me at the Paris Junior College Campus in Paris at a time that is convenient for
both of us. You may take it at the Testing Center on the Paris Campus. If you are an off-
campus student, you may take the final exam at one of the off-campus centers through
their testing centers using a password or with me. If you take your final exam at a testing
center, you must call and set up an appointment with them. You will only have one
chance at the final but two hours to take it. You may use your book. Your final exam is
worth 15% of your grade.

period so nothing interferes with your meeting the deadline. Due to the number of
quizzes required for this course, it will not be possible to make-up missed quizzes.
If there is any anticipation of not being able to comply with due dates on any
quizzes, please send an email to me via WebCT as soon as you realize there will
be a problem. Any computer difficulties which interfere with the completion of
a quiz should be reported to the instructor immediately so the quiz can be
reset before the availability period ends.

3. You will have 4 Exams in addition to chapter quizzes this semester, which will be
taken online; see the Assignment Sheet for availability periods of these exams. The
questions will be multiple-choice and true/false; the exams will be timed at 75
minutes. You must save your Exam and submit it before the end of your 75 minutes,
or your grade will not be accepted. Please try to take these as soon as possible
during the availability period so nothing interferes with your meeting the deadline.
Due to the number of exams required for this course, it will not be possible to make-
up missed exams. If there is any anticipation of not being able to comply with due
dates on any Exams, please send an email to me via WebCT as soon as you realize
there will be a problem. Any computer difficulties which interfere with the
completion of an exam should be reported to the instructor immediately so the
exam can be reset before the availability period ends.

Objective exams must be completed online at predetermined dates outlined in the


course assignment sheet as follows:
o Exam 1 (Chapters 1-3)
o Exam 2 (Chapters 4-6)
o Exam 3 (Chapters 9-12)
o Exam 4 (Chapters 13-16)

4. Both the Mid-Term Exam and the Final Exam will be proctored, which means they
must be taken in the presence of a representative of Paris Junior College. Students
will schedule a time with the testing center of their choice (Paris, Greenville, or
Sulphur Springs). Testing center hours and information are available on WebCT
under Testing Centers. These exams will be 180 minutes each and will cover
information since the last major exam (i.e. Mid Term will cover all material up to the
Mid Term, and the Final will cover material since the Mid Term). The exams will be
available for approximately one week (see below or the Assignment Sheet on
WebCT for details).

The following proctored exams must be completed by the dates outlined in the
course assignment sheet as follows:
o Mid Term Exam (Chapters 1-6 & 9)

o Final Exam (Chapters 10-16)

GRADING:
Grades of A, B, C, D, and F will be determined by the student’s achievement out of a
possible 100 points based on the following:

1. The average of 14 Quizzes = 25% of the total grade


2. The average of 4 Exams = 25% of the total grade
3. The average of all Homework Assignments = 10% of the total grade
4. The average of Mid Term Exam and Final Exam = 40% of the total grade

For example, consider the following formula to calculate your weighted grade average
for the exams:
(1)
a. Exam 1= 90
b. Exam 2= 80
c. Exam 3= 95
d. Exam 4= 100
365/4 = 91.25 average X 25% = 22.81 points out of a possible
25 points.
Grading Scale:

90% - 100% = A
80% - 89% = B
70% - 79% = C
60% - 69% = D
0% - 59% = F
Course Policies
Class Procedures: Students must login to the class during the first week of the semester
and email the instructor through WebCT. Additionally, students should communicate
with the instructor at least once a week throughout the semester. Submission of
assigned work will count as communication.

Class Attendance: Participation on the class website will constitute “attendance”. If the
student has not logged in and emailed the instructor by the 12th class day, the student
will be dropped for non-attendance. Withdrawal requests due to a low grade MUST BE
initiated by the student. Requests for withdrawal become official and effective the date
they are received in the records office. Students who stop attending class (that is, stop
participating on the class website) but fail to drop the course will earn an “F” for the
course.

Late Work: To be considered “on time”, all work must be submitted online as stipulated
on the Course Schedule. Quizzes may not be taken late. Late homework will not be
accepted.

Exams: Students must take exams over chapters according to the class schedule. No
make-up exams will be given. Students who miss one exam will use their grade on the
mid-term or final exam (depending on when the exam was missed) to replace the
missed grade. Any additional missed exams will result in a score of zero unless
extenuating circumstances exist.

considered failing. This applies to all technical and math courses in the

Course # (ACCT 2401) - Faculty Name Page 2 of 4


 
 

Electromechanical and Electronic Technology Degree Programs.

Attendance/Drop
Students are expected to be present at each class meeting for the entire session. For
each absence after the second absence (first on night classes) TWO (2) points (FOUR
for night classes) will be deducted from the FINAL COURSE GRADE. Four tardies (two
for night classes) will constitute one absence. Excessive absence will result in being
dropped in accordance with the college policies. For perfect attendance, FOUR (4)
points will be added to the final course grade. If for some reason, you are unable to
complete the course discuss it with the instructor. Do not just quit coming to class.
Students who wish to drop must initiate the drop themselves or receive a grade of “F.”

Students may be dropped from classes upon the recommendation of the instructor if the
instructor believes the student has been unjustifiably absent or tardy a sufficient number
of times to preclude meeting the course objectives. The number of absences that will
result in being dropped may vary by course, but four absences (two for night classes) or
25% absence after 12 weeks will be considered justification for dropping the student.
Students dropped for this reason will receive a grade of “W.”

Exceptions will be made to the above policy only for those students who can
substantiate a need to miss because of rotating work schedules or unforeseen
shift changes, but all class work will still have to be completed. If the student
fails to stay current on assignments, the attendance policy will be enforced as
outlined above.

Policies

Electromechanical and Electronic Technology Degree Programs.

Attendance/Drop
Students are expected to be present at each class meeting for the entire session. For
each absence after the second absence (first on night classes) TWO (2) points (FOUR
for night classes) will be deducted from the FINAL COURSE GRADE. Four tardies (two
for night classes) will constitute one absence. Excessive absence will result in being
dropped in accordance with the college policies. For perfect attendance, FOUR (4)
points will be added to the final course grade. If for some reason, you are unable to
complete the course discuss it with the instructor. Do not just quit coming to class.
Students who wish to drop must initiate the drop themselves or receive a grade of “F.”

Students may be dropped from classes upon the recommendation of the instructor if the
instructor believes the student has been unjustifiably absent or tardy a sufficient number
of times to preclude meeting the course objectives. The number of absences that will
result in being dropped may vary by course, but four absences (two for night classes) or
25% absence after 12 weeks will be considered justification for dropping the student.
Students dropped for this reason will receive a grade of “W.”

Exceptions will be made to the above policy only for those students who can
substantiate a need to miss because of rotating work schedules or unforeseen
shift changes, but all class work will still have to be completed. If the student
fails to stay current on assignments, the attendance policy will be enforced as
outlined above.

Policies
SMOKING or tobacco use of any kind will not be allowed in the building. FOOD AND
DRINKS will not be allowed in areas that would jeopardize equipment. SOFTWARE
other than approved by the instructor will not be used on or copied by departmental

Course Policies
Missed Classes: The student is responsible for obtaining material distributed on class
days when he/she was absent. This can be done through contacting a classmate who
was present or by contacting the instructor during office hours or other times. Missed
exams cannot normally be made up, but with good cause and adequate notice, an early
exam or a makeup exam may be given.

Incomplete Policy
Students will not be given an incomplete grade in the course without sound reason and
documented evidence as described in the Student Handbook. In any case, for a student
to receive an incomplete, he or she must be passing and must have completed a
significant portion of the course.

Computer Time
Students are expected to spend approximately four to six hours per week of computer
time outside of class in order to successful complete the course requirements.

Class Attendance
Students are expected to complete assignments on a timely basis. Students are
required to attend class in order to participate in lectures, discussions, assignment
review, take quizzes and exams. Approximately 6-8 random quizzes will be given at the
beginning of class and under no circumstances can a student make them up. Students
should refer to the PJC catalog or student handbook to review the procedures for
withdrawing from a course. Students choosing to drop this course must request a
"DROP" from the instructor before the official "last day to drop a class" date to receive a
“W” as the course grade. Students who have not voluntarily withdrawn from this course
before the official "last day to drop a class" and have insufficient progress to pass will
receive and "F" as the course grade.

Web Access
Students are expected to visit WEBCT (http://www.parisjc.edu) often to determine the
assignment due dates and any changes, updates, additions, deletions, or modifications
to student assignments.

Academic Honesty
In pursuit of learning, it is expected that students will engage in honest academic
endeavor to the highest degree of honor and integrity. Students who are found to
engage in academic dishonesty through such activities as cheating on exams,
plagiarism, or collusion with others will be referred to the Vice President of Workforce
Education for disciplinary action such as dismissal from the college. For this class, it is
permissible to assist classmates in general discussions of computing techniques.
General advice and interaction are encouraged. Each person, however, must develop
his or her own solutions to the assigned projects, assignments, and tasks.

Grading:
Attendance & Participation: 25%
Final Exam: 25%
Quizzes & Assignments: 50%
Grade scale is based on a calculated average: A (90-100); B (80-89); C (70-79); D
(60-69); F(0-59). Students all begin the semester with 25% of their final grade already
credited to their favor. 25% of the final grade includes attendance and participation. Fifty
points are awarded for acceptable behavior/participation in class and fifty points are
awarded for attendance, a total of 100 points. A percentage will be calculated of the
number of attended class periods divided by total class periods. This percentage will
then be multiplied by the possible 50 points for attendance. The 50 points for
behavior/participation are subject to the instructor’s decision. 25% of the possible 100
points will then be added to the final grade.
Assignments: All assignments are expected on the due date given AT CLASS TIME.
If you miss class, you are expected to email your assignment by class time. Late
assignments will not be accepted.
In-Class Assignments: Grades will be taken on in-class work most of the time. If you
miss class, you need to turn in or show your work the next class period. No work will be
accepted past the following class day of your absence.
Missed quizzes: If you are absent on the day of a quiz, you may choose to write a
one page essay on your favorite hobby. This paper will be graded for grammar and
spelling. You may write in first person in a 12-point font double spaced, but do NOT use
contractions.
Being prepared for class: Students need to be prepared for EVERY CLASS. Bring
book, flash drive, paper and pen or pencil ALWAYS.
Attendance: Attendance is required for this class. Attendance credit requires your
presence the entire class period. If you are late to class, it is YOUR responsibility to see

COSC 1400 - Eckhardt Page 4 of 5


 
that you are counted present as you will have been marked absent in the roll. Do not
plan to leave class early.
Withdrawal requests due to a low grade MUST be initiated by the student. The last
day for a student to drop a course with a grade of “W” is November 18, 2010. Requests
for withdrawal become official and effective the date they are received in the records
office. Students who stop coming to class but fail to drop the course will earn an “F” for
the course.
Academic honesty: Students are expected to uphold the school’s standard of
conduct relating to academic honesty. Students assume full responsibility for the
content and integrity of the academic work they submit. The guiding principle of
academic integrity shall be that a student’s submitted work, examinations, reports, and
projects must be that of the student’s own work. Students shall be guilty of violating the
honor code if they represent the work of others, use or obtain unauthorized assistance
in any academic work, give unauthorized assistance to other students, modify (without
instructor approval) an exam paper/record/report for the purpose of obtaining additional
credit, misrepresent the content of submitted work, and/or lie to the instructor. Any
student violating the honor code will receive a zero for the first violation and will
automatically receive a failing grade in the course for the second violation. Any student
violating the honor code the first time will be required to complete a ten page essay on
the subject of “Honesty and Its Importance” written in a 12-point font and double-spaced
with one inch margins. Failure to complete this essay within the time allotted by the
instructor will cause automatic failure in the course. Do not give any appearance of what
could be considered cheating.

Course Policies
Grading:
Attendance & Participation: 25%
Final Exam: 25%
Quizzes & Assignments: 50%
Grade scale is based on a calculated average: A (90-100); B (80-89); C (70-79); D
(60-69); F(0-59). Students all begin the semester with 25% of their final grade already
credited to their favor. 25% of the final grade includes attendance and participation. Fifty
points are awarded for acceptable behavior/participation in class and fifty points are
awarded for attendance, a total of 100 points. A percentage will be calculated of the
number of attended class periods divided by total class periods. This percentage will
then be multiplied by the possible 50 points for attendance. The 50 points for
behavior/participation are subject to the instructor’s decision. 25% of the possible 100
points will then be added to the final grade.
Assignments: All assignments are expected on the due date given AT CLASS TIME.
If you miss class, you are expected to email your assignment by class time. Late
assignments will not be accepted.
In-Class Assignments: Grades will be taken on in-class work most of the time. If you
miss class, you need to turn in or show your work the next class period. No work will be
accepted past the following class day of your absence.
Missed quizzes: If you are absent on the day of a quiz, you may choose to write a
one page essay on your favorite hobby. This paper will be graded for grammar and
spelling. You may write in first person in a 12-point font double spaced, but do NOT use
contractions.
Being prepared for class: Students need to be prepared for EVERY CLASS. Bring
book, flash drive, paper and pen or pencil ALWAYS.
Attendance: Attendance is required for this class. Attendance credit requires your
presence the entire class period. If you are late to class, it is YOUR responsibility to see

COSC 1400 - Eckhardt Page 4 of 5


 
that you are counted present as you will have been marked absent in the roll. Do not
plan to leave class early.
Withdrawal requests due to a low grade MUST be initiated by the student. The last
day for a student to drop a course with a grade of “W” is November 18, 2010. Requests
for withdrawal become official and effective the date they are received in the records
office. Students who stop coming to class but fail to drop the course will earn an “F” for
the course.
Academic honesty: Students are expected to uphold the school’s standard of
conduct relating to academic honesty. Students assume full responsibility for the
content and integrity of the academic work they submit. The guiding principle of
academic integrity shall be that a student’s submitted work, examinations, reports, and
projects must be that of the student’s own work. Students shall be guilty of violating the
honor code if they represent the work of others, use or obtain unauthorized assistance
in any academic work, give unauthorized assistance to other students, modify (without
instructor approval) an exam paper/record/report for the purpose of obtaining additional
credit, misrepresent the content of submitted work, and/or lie to the instructor. Any
student violating the honor code will receive a zero for the first violation and will
automatically receive a failing grade in the course for the second violation. Any student
violating the honor code the first time will be required to complete a ten page essay on
the subject of “Honesty and Its Importance” written in a 12-point font and double-spaced
with one inch margins. Failure to complete this essay within the time allotted by the
instructor will cause automatic failure in the course. Do not give any appearance of what
could be considered cheating.
Student conduct in the classroom: Any acts of classroom disruption that go beyond
the normal rights of students to questions and discuss with instructors the educational
process relative to subject content will not be tolerated, in accordance with the
Academic Code of Conduct described in the Student Handbook.
Children: PJC policy prohibits children in the classroom or lab facilities.
Electronic devices in the classroom: Cell phones, pagers, CD players, radios and

Grading:
Attendance & Participation: 25%
Final Exam: 25%
Quizzes & Assignments: 50%
Grade scale is based on a calculated average: A (90-100); B (80-89); C (70-79); D
(60-69); F(0-59). Students all begin the semester with 25% of their final grade already
credited to their favor. 25% of the final grade includes attendance and participation. Fifty
points are awarded for acceptable behavior/participation in class and fifty points are
awarded for attendance, a total of 100 points. A percentage will be calculated of the
number of attended class periods divided by total class periods. This percentage will
then be multiplied by the possible 50 points for attendance. The 50 points for
behavior/participation are subject to the instructor’s decision. 25% of the possible 100
points will then be added to the final grade.
Assignments: All assignments are expected on the due date given AT CLASS TIME.
If you miss class, you are expected to email your assignment by class time. Late
assignments will not be accepted.
In-Class Assignments: Grades will be taken on in-class work most of the time. If you
miss class, you need to turn in or show your work the next class period. No work will be
accepted past the following class day of your absence.
Missed quizzes: If you are absent on the day of a quiz, you may choose to write a
one page essay on your favorite hobby. This paper will be graded for grammar and
spelling. You may write in first person in a 12-point font double spaced, but do NOT use
contractions.
Being prepared for class: Students need to be prepared for EVERY CLASS. Bring
book, flash drive, paper and pen or pencil ALWAYS.
Attendance: Attendance is required for this class. Attendance credit requires your
presence the entire class period. If you are late to class, it is YOUR responsibility to see

COSC 1400 - Eckhardt Page 4 of 5


 
that you are counted present as you will have been marked absent in the roll. Do not
plan to leave class early.
Withdrawal requests due to a low grade MUST be initiated by the student. The last
day for a student to drop a course with a grade of “W” is November 18, 2010. Requests
for withdrawal become official and effective the date they are received in the records
office. Students who stop coming to class but fail to drop the course will earn an “F” for
the course.
Academic honesty: Students are expected to uphold the school’s standard of
conduct relating to academic honesty. Students assume full responsibility for the
content and integrity of the academic work they submit. The guiding principle of
academic integrity shall be that a student’s submitted work, examinations, reports, and
projects must be that of the student’s own work. Students shall be guilty of violating the
honor code if they represent the work of others, use or obtain unauthorized assistance
in any academic work, give unauthorized assistance to other students, modify (without
instructor approval) an exam paper/record/report for the purpose of obtaining additional
credit, misrepresent the content of submitted work, and/or lie to the instructor. Any
student violating the honor code will receive a zero for the first violation and will
automatically receive a failing grade in the course for the second violation. Any student
violating the honor code the first time will be required to complete a ten page essay on
the subject of “Honesty and Its Importance” written in a 12-point font and double-spaced
with one inch margins. Failure to complete this essay within the time allotted by the
instructor will cause automatic failure in the course. Do not give any appearance of what
could be considered cheating.
Student conduct in the classroom: Any acts of classroom disruption that go beyond
the normal rights of students to questions and discuss with instructors the educational
process relative to subject content will not be tolerated, in accordance with the
Academic Code of Conduct described in the Student Handbook.
Children: PJC policy prohibits children in the classroom or lab facilities.
Electronic devices in the classroom: Cell phones, pagers, CD players, radios and
similar devices are prohibited in the classroom and lab facilities.
Disclaimer statement: The schedule, policies, procedures and assignments in this
course syllabus are subject to change.

Course Policies
Missed Classes: The student is responsible for obtaining material distributed on class
days when he/she was absent. This can be done through contacting a classmate who
was present or by contacting the instructor during office hours or other times. Missed
exams cannot normally be made up, but with good cause and adequate notice, an early
exam or a makeup exam may be given.

Incomplete Policy
Students will not be given an incomplete grade in the course without sound reason and
documented evidence as described in the Student Handbook. In any case, for a student
to receive an incomplete, he or she must be passing and must have completed a
significant portion of the course.

Computer Time
Students are expected to spend approximately four to six hours per week of computer
time outside of class in order to successful complete the course requirements.

Class Attendance
Students are expected to complete assignments on a timely basis. Students are
required to attend class in order to participate in lectures, discussions, assignment
review, take quizzes and exams. Approximately 6-8 random quizzes will be given at the
beginning of class and under no circumstances can a student make them up. Students
should refer to the PJC catalog or student handbook to review the procedures for
withdrawing from a course. Students choosing to drop this course must request a
"DROP" from the instructor before the official "last day to drop a class" date to receive a
“W” as the course grade. Students who have not voluntarily withdrawn from this course
before the official "last day to drop a class" and have insufficient progress to pass will
receive and "F" as the course grade.

Web Access
Students are expected to visit WEBCT (http://www.parisjc.edu) often to determine the
assignment due dates and any changes, updates, additions, deletions, or modifications
to student assignments.

Academic Honesty
In pursuit of learning, it is expected that students will engage in honest academic
endeavor to the highest degree of honor and integrity. Students who are found to
engage in academic dishonesty through such activities as cheating on exams,

Course Requirements and Evaluation


This course absolutely requires keyboarding skills.

Course Policies
Grading:
Attendance & Participation: 25%
Final Exam: 25%
Quizzes & Assignments: 50%
Grade scale is based on a calculated average: A (90-100); B (80-89); C (70-79); D
(60-69); F(0-59). Students all begin the semester with 25% of their final grade already
credited to their favor. 25% of the final grade includes attendance and participation. Fifty
points are awarded for acceptable behavior/participation in class and fifty points are
awarded for attendance, a total of 100 points. A percentage will be calculated of the
number of attended class periods divided by total class periods. This percentage will
then be multiplied by the possible 50 points for attendance. The 50 points for
behavior/participation are subject to the instructor’s decision. 25% of the possible 100
points will then be added to the final grade.
Assignments: All assignments are expected on the due date given AT CLASS TIME.
If you miss class, you are expected to email your assignment by class time. Late
assignments will not be accepted.
In-Class Assignments: Grades will be taken on in-class work most of the time. If you
miss class, you need to turn in or show your work the next class period. No work will be
accepted past the following class day of your absence.
Missed quizzes: If you are absent on the day of a quiz, you may choose to write a
one page essay on your favorite hobby. This paper will be graded for grammar and
spelling. You may write in first person in a 12-point font double spaced, but do NOT use
contractions.
Being prepared for class: Students need to be prepared for EVERY CLASS. Bring
book, flash drive, paper and pen or pencil ALWAYS.
Attendance: Attendance is required for this class. Attendance credit requires your
presence the entire class period. If you are late to class, it is YOUR responsibility to see

COSC 1400 - Eckhardt Page 4 of 5


 
that you are counted present as you will have been marked absent in the roll. Do not
plan to leave class early.
Withdrawal requests due to a low grade MUST be initiated by the student. The last
day for a student to drop a course with a grade of “W” is November 18, 2010. Requests
for withdrawal become official and effective the date they are received in the records
office. Students who stop coming to class but fail to drop the course will earn an “F” for
the course.
Academic honesty: Students are expected to uphold the school’s standard of
conduct relating to academic honesty. Students assume full responsibility for the
content and integrity of the academic work they submit. The guiding principle of
academic integrity shall be that a student’s submitted work, examinations, reports, and
projects must be that of the student’s own work. Students shall be guilty of violating the
honor code if they represent the work of others, use or obtain unauthorized assistance
in any academic work, give unauthorized assistance to other students, modify (without
instructor approval) an exam paper/record/report for the purpose of obtaining additional
credit, misrepresent the content of submitted work, and/or lie to the instructor. Any
student violating the honor code will receive a zero for the first violation and will
automatically receive a failing grade in the course for the second violation. Any student
violating the honor code the first time will be required to complete a ten page essay on
the subject of “Honesty and Its Importance” written in a 12-point font and double-spaced
with one inch margins. Failure to complete this essay within the time allotted by the
instructor will cause automatic failure in the course. Do not give any appearance of what
could be considered cheating.
Student conduct in the classroom: Any acts of classroom disruption that go beyond
the normal rights of students to questions and discuss with instructors the educational
process relative to subject content will not be tolerated, in accordance with the
Academic Code of Conduct described in the Student Handbook.
Children: PJC policy prohibits children in the classroom or lab facilities.
Electronic devices in the classroom: Cell phones, pagers, CD players, radios and
similar devices are prohibited in the classroom and lab facilities.
Disclaimer statement: The schedule, policies, procedures and assignments in this
course syllabus are subject to change.

These sheets will be listed under Activity Sheets in WebCT.
Three examinations will be given requiring the student to write code. These will be
instructor-proctored exams; students may use two index cards for each exam. Hybrid
sections will take the exam in class, along with the online sections.
Programming Assignments. These will be listed under the Assignment Tool in
WebCT. Coding hints have been added for each program in the assignment section and
please submit the cpp file for grading. Points will be deducted for late assignments.

exams. The highest quiz grade will be taken from the three grades for each quiz. If you
score in the 90s, you will receive 3 points toward the exam; if you score in the 80s, you
will receive 2 points toward the exam; and if you score in the 70s, you will receive 1
point toward an exam.

The Student CD with the textbook contains answers for all Checkpoint questions and
answers to the odd numbered review questions and review exercises, complete source
code for example programs, and tutorials
Course Grade is determined as follows: A (90-100); B (80-89); C (70-79); D (60-69); F

grade. The quizzes will count as bonus points toward the major exams.

Each program should contain your name, the assignment number, and the purpose of
the program. After we cover functions, please use functions in the design of your
program; use comments to explain each function, choose variable names that describe
the variable contents, use camel notation for variable names (checkBalance), use
function prototypes so that the function header/body is located at the end of the
program. Use indentation and blank lines to make your program readable. Your
instructor will explain the meaning of these concepts as we progress through the first
couple of chapters.

•Course Participation

Unlike a traditional, instructor-led course, you do not need to show up to class at a specific time
every day to earn your class participation grade. Instead, you need to make a constant effort to
complete the online course lectures, complete ungraded assignments, and participate in the
class discussions. Though some of your activities will be ungraded, your instructor will keep
track of whether you have completed them and will assign you a course participation grade
based upon your completion of these assignments.

Online Etiquette

The objective in an online discussion is to be collaborative, not combative. Please, proofread


your responses carefully before you post them to make sure that they will not be offensive to
others. Use discussions to develop your skills in collaboration and teamwork. Treat the
discussion areas as a creative environment where you and your classmates can ask questions,
express opinions, revise opinions, and take positions just as you would in a more “traditional”
classroom setting.

of the student who wishes to drop the course to meet with the instructor to initiate the
paperwork. A student may have 3 absences without penalty throughout the semester.
Beginning with the 4th absence, there is a 10-point deduction from the total attendance
grade for each absence. Three late arrivals or early departures will count as one
absence. A student with 6 absences at any point in the semester may be dropped from
the course at the instructor’s discretion; however, it should not be assumed that the
instructor will drop a student automatically. An absence may be excused with
proper documentation. The instructor is the final authority as to whether an absence
may be excused, so the student must contact the instructor as soon as possible if
he/she is unable to attend. If any work must be made up, the student must make
arrangements to do so.

Cellular phones, pagers, CD players, mp3 players, radios, laptop computers, tape
recorders and similar devices are prohibited in the classroom. There are no
exceptions to this rule.

privacy. Do not request progress, attendance, or other individual reports during class
time. Monthly progress reports required by various agencies must be left with the
instructor to be completed at the end of the month. The student must complete as
much of the form as possible.

Any student who disrupts the class in ANY way will be asked to leave the class,
and may be dropped from the course. Any student who sleeps in class will also

Course Policies
Students are expected to attend class and to be on time. It is the primary responsibility
of the student who wishes to drop the course to meet with the instructor to initiate the
paperwork. A student may have 3 absences without penalty throughout the semester.
Beginning with the 4th absence, there is a 10-point deduction from the total attendance
grade for each absence. Three late arrivals or early departures will count as one
absence. A student with 6 absences at any point in the semester may be dropped from
the course at the instructor’s discretion; however, it should not be assumed that the
instructor will drop a student automatically. An absence may be excused with
proper documentation. The instructor is the final authority as to whether an absence
may be excused, so the student must contact the instructor as soon as possible if
he/she is unable to attend. If any work must be made up, the student must make
arrangements to do so.

Cellular phones, pagers, CD players, mp3 players, radios, laptop computers, tape
recorders and similar devices are prohibited in the classroom. There are no
exceptions to this rule.

No food or drink is permitted in the classroom. This is a PJC and Greenville Center
policy.

For safety reasons, minor children are not allowed on campus while student parents are
attending classes or labs.

Forms or Reports requiring the instructor’s attention, evaluation, or signature must be


presented in the instructor’s office during conference time to protect the student’s
privacy. Do not request progress, attendance, or other individual reports during class
time. Monthly progress reports required by various agencies must be left with the
instructor to be completed at the end of the month. The student must complete as
much of the form as possible.

Any student who disrupts the class in ANY way will be asked to leave the class,
and may be dropped from the course. Any student who sleeps in class will also
be considered disrupting the class. In addition, any student who conducts text
messages or phone conversations will be considered disrupting the class.

Course Requirements and Evaluation


Determination of Course Grade:
Module exams grades will be averaged to equal ¾ of the ongoing average grade.
Homework and quizzes will equal ¼ of average grade. The comprehensive final
examination will count as a module exam. Any malpractices demonstrated during
clinical / internship will result in a failure of this course. A passing evaluation in the skills
component of the course is required for a passing grade. A failure in skills will result in
failure of the course – 2 attempts are provided. Any special work must be turned in
on time. One point per day will be subtracted from module exam average for each late
paper.

An overall grade average of at least 80% must be maintained in the class at all times.
Any test grade below 70% is considered a failing grade. The student will then get one
retest on which a grade of 70% or higher must be achieved. If the student fails a retest
then the student will not be released for the state exam and will not be allowed to
complete the clinical internship. You will be allowed to stay in the classroom portion of

the program for college credit if you wish.

Classroom reasons for not being released for the National Registry exam are listed
below:
1. Overall grade average falling below 80%
2. Repeated failure of skills
3. Failure of any retest

Grade Range
“A” 90 – 100
“B” 80 –89
“C” 70-79
“D” 60-69
“F” Below 60

Course Policies
Unsatisfactory Progress In A Course
Students who have unsatisfactory classroom performance will be given written
notification and a plan for remediation will be completed.

Clinical performance needing improvement or clinical performance that is unsatisfactory


will be specified in the documentation. If the student does not show improvement, the
probation status will be implemented. A student may be placed on probation at the
faculty team's decision without preliminary remediation.

Probationary Status:
Probationary criteria will be written in the form of behavioral objectives and recorded
Probationary Status". A time frame for review of status will be specified. The terms of
probation will be discussed with the student and validated by the signatures of the
course instructors and the student. At the end of the specified term of probation, the
student's status is reviewed by the course faculty. This review will be recorded. If the
probation criteria has been met, the student's probation is lifted. Failure to meet
probationary criteria will result in further disciplinary action up to and including failure
from the program. Probation will be contained within the course.

Withdrawal
A student may withdraw from an EMS course by using the procedure outlined in the
Paris Junior College catalog following counsel with his/her instructors and/or the
Director of the EMS Program. After withdrawing from an EMS course, a student must
reapply for admission to the EMS Program in order to enroll in any subsequent EMS
course.

The student must initiate the withdrawal procedure with the team leader prior to the
withdrawal date or a grade of "F" will be recorded for the total semester hours of the
dropped EMS course.

Dismissal
Any student may be dismissed from the program without a probationary period if the
student shows gross negligence, unsafe practices, lack of personal integrity, breach of
patient confidentiality, or commits a criminal or immoral act. Dismissal from the program
will be decided by the faculty, Director of Health Occupations and the Dean of Workforce
Education.

Personal integrity as well as concern for the welfare of patients entrusted to our care are
personal attributes that are absolutely essential for those entering the EMS profession.
Actions taken and attitudes expressed while in the student role are considered
indicative of behaviors to be expected of the graduate. The student will be given the
opportunity to discuss the incident(s) with the course team faculty.

Grounds For Immediate Dismissal From Program


A student may be subject to immediate dismissal from the EMS program, and failure of
the course in the following situations.
a. Failure to maintain client safety resulting in injury to the patient.
b. A medication error which results in injury to the patient.
c. The practice of academic dishonesty; such as, preparation for clinical and cheating
on tests or written assignments (both parties), making false entries in records
pertaining to the giving of medications, treatments, or nursing care, or failing to do so
under circumstances that indicate a disregard for patient safety or welfare.
d. The use of alcohol, illegal drugs, or misuse of prescription or any other drugs, during
school activities or on school property; or reporting to class/clinical under the
influence of alcohol or illegal drugs.
e. Appropriating, in connection with the practice of EMS, medication, supplies,
equipment, or personal items of the patient, employer, or any other person or entity.
(This includes accepting remuneration, gifts, etc.)

Procedure for Dismissal


STEP 1. Dismissal from the program will be initiated by the faculty team with prior
notification of the Director of Health Occupations. If the director is absent, the
Dean of Workforce Education must be notified prior to dismissal.

STEP 2. The team leader and instructor will meet with the student to inform him/her that
they are initiating the procedure. If the team leader is the instructor, another
faculty member will be present.

STEP 3. If the student wishes to contest this decision, he/she must file a Report of
Grievance with the team leader or Director of Health Occupation.

Grievance Procedure
Problems of an individual or of a personal nature should be handled in the following
ways: A student may formally express dissatisfaction with his/her progress in the EMS
Program. Grade disputes should be resolved at the lowest level possible (i.e., the
instructor and student). Recognizing that this is not always possible, the following

Course # EMSP 1160.01 – Brad Bolton Page 6 of 11


C:\Users\ElaPit\Documents\Syllabi for 101s\Word to convert to PDF\EMSP1160 01 101s.doc 
procedure has been adopted as policy for resolving grade and course progress
disputes. The steps have been defined to facilitate resolution at the lowest level and in
that interest; the order of steps will at no time be violated. The grievance procedure
must be initiated within two (2) working days of the incident by which time the student
must initiate a "Report of Grievance" with the team leader or Director of Health
Occupations if the team leader is not available..
STEP 1. The student should request an appointment to discuss the case with the faculty
and the team leader of the course. If a satisfactory decision still has not been
reached, the student may request to meet with the Director of the program.
STEP 2. If resolution of the grievance has not been reached under the guidance of the
Director, the student may request an appointment with representative
members of the faculty-as-a-whole. (The definition of faculty-as-a-whole: a
representative group of the EMS and a neutral party. After presentation of the
facts to the faculty-as-a-whole, the faculty vote will be taken by ballot and
tallied by the Director of the program and the neutral party. Failure will require
a two-thirds majority vote. The conference will be recorded on tape and on a
Grievance Conference Report form, a copy of which goes to the student and
the original placed in the Confidential File.
STEP 3. If resolution of the grievance has not been reached under the guidance of the
Director, the student may request an appointment with the Dean of Workforce
Education to present his/her case.
At any time during the grievance procedure should the student desire an attorney
present, he/she must notify the Director of the program at least 24 hours before a
scheduled meeting.

Attendance/Tardy Policy

Attendance is of significant importance in the Emergency Medical Technician program in


order to meet the objectives necessary for successful completion of the course. Absences
must be for emergencies only and must not exceed the maximum hours designated at the
beginning of the semester. The instructor or clinical agency must be notified prior to the
absence, or as soon as possible in accident situations. Any assignments missed because
of an absence or tardy is due on the assignments due date regardless of the absence. It is
the student’s responsibility to contact the instructor and make arrangements to receive the
assignments and complete them on the due date. Students who fail to take responsibility
for their assignments will receive a 0. This policy applies to major exams, quizzes and
home work. Any exceptions to this will be handled on a case by case basis. Absences and
tardiness without notification demonstrate lack of responsibility and may result in dismissal
or other disciplinary action.

Clinical And Field Internship


The purpose of the clinical and field internship is to provide the student with a progression
of increasing patient care responsibilities in order to proceed from observational
experience to working as a member of a team.

Students are expected to demonstrate achievement of all critical clinical objectives in the

Course # EMSP 1160.01 – Brad Bolton Page 7 of 11


C:\Users\ElaPit\Documents\Syllabi for 101s\Word to convert to PDF\EMSP1160 01 101s.doc 
hospital clinical area and field internship under direct supervision of a preceptor. Failure to
achieve all objectives will be handled on an individual basis but may result in failure of the
course. Specific written objectives will be required for each experience. Attire or uniforms
appropriate for the various agencies will be specified.

In all agency experiences, students should keep in mind that they are there for specific
learning experiences and are guests of the various agencies. Any behavior other than
complete professionalism may result in dismissal from the program. They are acting in the
capacity of students from the PJC Emergency Medical Technician Program and should
conduct themselves accordingly. If problems arise in the agencies, the instructor should be
notified immediately.

Scheduling Of Clinical Rotations


The clinical rotation sheets will be available for sign up in class. A copy of the rotation
sheet will be sent to the designated clinical site and the coordinator will retain the
original. All assignments will be made before the student reports to the clinical site.

Rules And Regulations At The Clinical Site


The student will be assigned to a preceptor by the charge nurse or other designated
person at the clinical site. Upon arrival at the clinical site, the student should report
directly to the person in charge. While at the clinical site the student shall always have
the following on their person; BCLS card, current level EMS certification card, and valid
driver’s license. The student shall wear his/her name badge for identification and
indicate the level of training to the person in charge. During the EMS rotation, students
must remain with the preceptors. Wandering off to other areas of the site or leaving for
lunch is not permissible. Once you are at the site, you are expected to stay at the site
until your shift is complete. Students can only perform skills in which they are checked
off on or certified to do while at the clinical site. Students are not allowed to go on out of
town, hospital to hospital transfers unless the paramedic attending the patient needs
assistance during transport. Shift supervisors must give expressed permission for
students to go on out of town transfers. While at the EMS internship rotation, the
student is expected to make every call that his/her preceptor makes unless given
permission by the preceptor. If you miss more than two calls during the course you
may be dismissed from the class. If you miss a call, remain at the EMS station until the
crew gets back. Following the ambulance in your personal vehicle is a violation of the
law and of PJC policies and procedures and punishable as such. While on the
ambulance, students will ride in the patient compartment at all times unless special
circumstances exist at which time the preceptor will decide where the student should
ride.

Documentation Of Records
It is the responsibility of the student to bring the appropriate forms to the clinical site.
Before the student leaves the clinical site for that particular rotation, all documentation is
to be completed. The preceptor will not verify and sign off any documentation after the
student has left the clinical site for that rotation. Absolutely no clinical forms will be
signed for any rotation except the rotation just completed. Students attempting to have

C:\Users\ElaPit\Documents\Syllabi for 101s\Word to convert to PDF\EMSP1160 01 101s.doc 
clinical sheets signed at any other time will be reported to the EMS Coordinator.
Attempting to falsify a clinical rotation will result in immediate dismissal from the course.

Dress Code
Dress in the classroom and skills lab should be comfortable; however, shorts or revealing
garments should not be worn. This is a distraction in the learning environment. EMTs and
Paramedics do not wear short shorts and low cut shirts while on duty. You will be
performing the same skills in the classroom as you do in the streets. Appearance of the
student in the clinical and field internship setting is of the utmost importance. Listed below
are partial guidelines to be followed:
1. Cleanliness and neat personal appearance are essential to the EMT.
2. Hair should be neat, clean, and worn in a conservative style that doesn't hang in the
face. Conservative combs and barrettes are acceptable. Men should be clean-shaven
with a neatly clipped established mustache and/or beard will be allowed.
3. Fingernails should be clean and short.
4. A watch with a second hand should be worn. Novelty watches are not appropriate.
5. Use of perfumes, colognes, or scented lotions should be avoided.
6. Purses and other valuable items should not be brought into the hospital or clinical
setting.
7. Students may smoke in designated smoking areas. There should be no smoking in
patient care areas or in the EMT classroom. If a student smokes, he/she should not
have an odor offensive to patients or classmates.
8. Jewelry in moderation; Absolutely no piercing jewelry in any part of the exposed body
including the ears. (Example Nose rings, eye rings or tongue rings)
9. No alcohol consumption or controlled/non-controlled substance abuse tolerated.
10. A name badge will be issued to each student to wear during clinical rotations. If you
lose this name badge, it must be replaced before doing any more clinical. A student
without a name badge will be sent home from clinical. The cost of replacing the name
badge is $5.
11. The clinical uniform shall only be worn during times directly connected to clinical or
classroom. Wearing the clinical uniform at any other time without expressed
permission of the instructor is a violation of the EMS program policies and
procedures and may result in disciplinary action including immediate dismissal from
the course.
Clinical Uniform: White shirt, navy or black pants (EMS pants are
acceptable…denim is NOT!); black belt and shoes; white uniform shirt purchased in
bookstore; student nametag; stethoscope; pen light; scissors; any deviation from
clinical uniform is unacceptable.
12. Deviations from dress code are unacceptable.

HEALTH POLICIES

Since good health is essential for the EMT, the following policies have been adopted:
1. A release from the student's physician will be required after hospitalization, any
surgical procedure or any conditions that will affect clinical practice.
2. A student is expected to report any condition that will affect his clinical practice. A

student will demonstrate good judgment by not reporting to the clinical setting while
experiencing overt signs and symptoms of an infectious process that would endanger
patient's well being.
3. Students who, in the opinion of the EMT coordinator and/or instructor, are showing
symptoms of physical or emotional illness may be required to have an appropriate
examination from a physician with a report submitted to the Coordinator.
4. Students diagnosed with a communicable disease must notify the coordinator.

Liability Insurance
In addition to regular tuition and fees, students will be assessed a fee for liability insurance
to cover them as EMS students. This insurance is mandatory.

Personal Illness Or Injury


Paris Junior College will not assume the responsibility for any illness or injury of a student
while engaged in any activity of any aspect of the Emergency Medical Technician
Program. Any medical expenses incurred during the EMS program will be the
responsibility of the student. The instructors reserve the right to seek medical help for any
student if they feel it is necessary. It is recommended the student carry personal medical
insurance. Hunt County Regional EMS requires all students to carry personal medical
insurance in order to ride as a student with their services. All students riding with Hunt
County Regional EMS are required to show proof of medical coverage.

Overall Grade
Quizzes may be given at any time at the discretion of the faculty. The EMT course is
composed of three distinct sections: lecture, skills lab, and clinical rotations. The final
grade in this course will be a composite of these elements. None of these components is
expendable, therefore, all must be completed satisfactorily prior to challenging the state
certification exam. Each element has its own set of unique performance standards. A
composite score of less than 80% or a failure of any subdivision is considered to be a
failure of the course.

Course Requirements and Evaluation


Determination of Course Grade:
Module exams grades will be averaged to equal ¾ of the ongoing average grade.
Homework and quizzes will equal ¼ of average grade. The comprehensive final
examination will count as a module exam. Any malpractices demonstrated during
clinical / internship will result in a failure of this course. A passing evaluation in the skills
component of the course is required for a passing grade. A failure in skills will result in
failure of the course – 2 attempts are provided. Any special work must be turned in
on time. One point per day will be subtracted from module exam average for each late
paper.

An overall grade average of at least 80% must be maintained in the class at all times.
Any test grade below 70% is considered a failing grade. The student will then get one
retest on which a grade of 70% or higher must be achieved. If the student fails a retest
then the student will not be released for the state exam and will not be allowed to
complete the clinical internship. You will be allowed to stay in the classroom portion of

the program for college credit if you wish.

Classroom reasons for not being released for the National Registry exam are listed
below:
1. Overall grade average falling below 80%
2. Repeated failure of skills
3. Failure of any retest

Grade Range
“A” 90 – 100
“B” 80 –89
“C” 70-79
“D” 60-69
“F” Below 60

Course Policies
Unsatisfactory Progress In A Course
Students who have unsatisfactory classroom performance will be given written
notification and a plan for remediation will be completed.

Clinical performance needing improvement or clinical performance that is unsatisfactory


will be specified in the documentation. If the student does not show improvement, the
probation status will be implemented. A student may be placed on probation at the
faculty team's decision without preliminary remediation.

Probationary Status:
Probationary criteria will be written in the form of behavioral objectives and recorded
Probationary Status". A time frame for review of status will be specified. The terms of
probation will be discussed with the student and validated by the signatures of the
course instructors and the student. At the end of the specified term of probation, the
student's status is reviewed by the course faculty. This review will be recorded. If the
probation criteria has been met, the student's probation is lifted. Failure to meet
probationary criteria will result in further disciplinary action up to and including failure
from the program. Probation will be contained within the course.

Withdrawal
A student may withdraw from an EMS course by using the procedure outlined in the
Paris Junior College catalog following counsel with his/her instructors and/or the
Director of the EMS Program. After withdrawing from an EMS course, a student must
reapply for admission to the EMS Program in order to enroll in any subsequent EMS
course.

The student must initiate the withdrawal procedure with the team leader prior to the
withdrawal date or a grade of "F" will be recorded for the total semester hours of the
dropped EMS course.

Dismissal
Any student may be dismissed from the program without a probationary period if the
student shows gross negligence, unsafe practices, lack of personal integrity, breach of
patient confidentiality, or commits a criminal or immoral act. Dismissal from the program
will be decided by the faculty, Director of Health Occupations and the Dean of Workforce
Education.

Personal integrity as well as concern for the welfare of patients entrusted to our care are
personal attributes that are absolutely essential for those entering the EMS profession.
Actions taken and attitudes expressed while in the student role are considered
indicative of behaviors to be expected of the graduate. The student will be given the
opportunity to discuss the incident(s) with the course team faculty.

Grounds For Immediate Dismissal From Program


A student may be subject to immediate dismissal from the EMS program, and failure of
the course in the following situations.
a. Failure to maintain client safety resulting in injury to the patient.
b. A medication error which results in injury to the patient.
c. The practice of academic dishonesty; such as, preparation for clinical and cheating
on tests or written assignments (both parties), making false entries in records
pertaining to the giving of medications, treatments, or nursing care, or failing to do so
under circumstances that indicate a disregard for patient safety or welfare.
d. The use of alcohol, illegal drugs, or misuse of prescription or any other drugs, during
school activities or on school property; or reporting to class/clinical under the
influence of alcohol or illegal drugs.
e. Appropriating, in connection with the practice of EMS, medication, supplies,
equipment, or personal items of the patient, employer, or any other person or entity.
(This includes accepting remuneration, gifts, etc.)

Procedure for Dismissal


STEP 1. Dismissal from the program will be initiated by the faculty team with prior
notification of the Director of Health Occupations. If the director is absent, the
Dean of Workforce Education must be notified prior to dismissal.

STEP 2. The team leader and instructor will meet with the student to inform him/her that
they are initiating the procedure. If the team leader is the instructor, another
faculty member will be present.

STEP 3. If the student wishes to contest this decision, he/she must file a Report of
Grievance with the team leader or Director of Health Occupation.

Grievance Procedure
Problems of an individual or of a personal nature should be handled in the following
ways: A student may formally express dissatisfaction with his/her progress in the EMS
Program. Grade disputes should be resolved at the lowest level possible (i.e., the
instructor and student). Recognizing that this is not always possible, the following

Course # EMSP 1160.40 – Brad Bolton Page 6 of 11


C:\Users\ElaPit\Documents\Syllabi for 101s\Word to convert to PDF\EMSP1160 40 101s.doc 
procedure has been adopted as policy for resolving grade and course progress
disputes. The steps have been defined to facilitate resolution at the lowest level and in
that interest; the order of steps will at no time be violated. The grievance procedure
must be initiated within two (2) working days of the incident by which time the student
must initiate a "Report of Grievance" with the team leader or Director of Health
Occupations if the team leader is not available..
STEP 1. The student should request an appointment to discuss the case with the faculty
and the team leader of the course. If a satisfactory decision still has not been
reached, the student may request to meet with the Director of the program.
STEP 2. If resolution of the grievance has not been reached under the guidance of the
Director, the student may request an appointment with representative
members of the faculty-as-a-whole. (The definition of faculty-as-a-whole: a
representative group of the EMS and a neutral party. After presentation of the
facts to the faculty-as-a-whole, the faculty vote will be taken by ballot and
tallied by the Director of the program and the neutral party. Failure will require
a two-thirds majority vote. The conference will be recorded on tape and on a
Grievance Conference Report form, a copy of which goes to the student and
the original placed in the Confidential File.
STEP 3. If resolution of the grievance has not been reached under the guidance of the
Director, the student may request an appointment with the Dean of Workforce
Education to present his/her case.
At any time during the grievance procedure should the student desire an attorney
present, he/she must notify the Director of the program at least 24 hours before a
scheduled meeting.

Attendance/Tardy Policy

Attendance is of significant importance in the Emergency Medical Technician program in


order to meet the objectives necessary for successful completion of the course. Absences
must be for emergencies only and must not exceed the maximum hours designated at the
beginning of the semester. The instructor or clinical agency must be notified prior to the
absence, or as soon as possible in accident situations. Any assignments missed because
of an absence or tardy is due on the assignments due date regardless of the absence. It is
the student’s responsibility to contact the instructor and make arrangements to receive the
assignments and complete them on the due date. Students who fail to take responsibility
for their assignments will receive a 0. This policy applies to major exams, quizzes and
home work. Any exceptions to this will be handled on a case by case basis. Absences and
tardiness without notification demonstrate lack of responsibility and may result in dismissal
or other disciplinary action.

Clinical And Field Internship


The purpose of the clinical and field internship is to provide the student with a progression
of increasing patient care responsibilities in order to proceed from observational
experience to working as a member of a team.

Students are expected to demonstrate achievement of all critical clinical objectives in the

Course # EMSP 1160.40 – Brad Bolton Page 7 of 11


C:\Users\ElaPit\Documents\Syllabi for 101s\Word to convert to PDF\EMSP1160 40 101s.doc 
hospital clinical area and field internship under direct supervision of a preceptor. Failure to
achieve all objectives will be handled on an individual basis but may result in failure of the
course. Specific written objectives will be required for each experience. Attire or uniforms
appropriate for the various agencies will be specified.

In all agency experiences, students should keep in mind that they are there for specific
learning experiences and are guests of the various agencies. Any behavior other than
complete professionalism may result in dismissal from the program. They are acting in the
capacity of students from the PJC Emergency Medical Technician Program and should
conduct themselves accordingly. If problems arise in the agencies, the instructor should be
notified immediately.

Scheduling Of Clinical Rotations


The clinical rotation sheets will be available for sign up in class. A copy of the rotation
sheet will be sent to the designated clinical site and the coordinator will retain the
original. All assignments will be made before the student reports to the clinical site.

Rules And Regulations At The Clinical Site


The student will be assigned to a preceptor by the charge nurse or other designated
person at the clinical site. Upon arrival at the clinical site, the student should report
directly to the person in charge. While at the clinical site the student shall always have
the following on their person; BCLS card, current level EMS certification card, and valid
driver’s license. The student shall wear his/her name badge for identification and
indicate the level of training to the person in charge. During the EMS rotation, students
must remain with the preceptors. Wandering off to other areas of the site or leaving for
lunch is not permissible. Once you are at the site, you are expected to stay at the site
until your shift is complete. Students can only perform skills in which they are checked
off on or certified to do while at the clinical site. Students are not allowed to go on out of
town, hospital to hospital transfers unless the paramedic attending the patient needs
assistance during transport. Shift supervisors must give expressed permission for
students to go on out of town transfers. While at the EMS internship rotation, the
student is expected to make every call that his/her preceptor makes unless given
permission by the preceptor. If you miss more than two calls during the course you
may be dismissed from the class. If you miss a call, remain at the EMS station until the
crew gets back. Following the ambulance in your personal vehicle is a violation of the
law and of PJC policies and procedures and punishable as such. While on the
ambulance, students will ride in the patient compartment at all times unless special
circumstances exist at which time the preceptor will decide where the student should
ride.

Documentation Of Records
It is the responsibility of the student to bring the appropriate forms to the clinical site.
Before the student leaves the clinical site for that particular rotation, all documentation is
to be completed. The preceptor will not verify and sign off any documentation after the
student has left the clinical site for that rotation. Absolutely no clinical forms will be
signed for any rotation except the rotation just completed. Students attempting to have

C:\Users\ElaPit\Documents\Syllabi for 101s\Word to convert to PDF\EMSP1160 40 101s.doc 
clinical sheets signed at any other time will be reported to the EMS Coordinator.
Attempting to falsify a clinical rotation will result in immediate dismissal from the course.

Dress Code
Dress in the classroom and skills lab should be comfortable; however, shorts or revealing
garments should not be worn. This is a distraction in the learning environment. EMTs and
Paramedics do not wear short shorts and low cut shirts while on duty. You will be
performing the same skills in the classroom as you do in the streets. Appearance of the
student in the clinical and field internship setting is of the utmost importance. Listed below
are partial guidelines to be followed:
1. Cleanliness and neat personal appearance are essential to the EMT.
2. Hair should be neat, clean, and worn in a conservative style that doesn't hang in the
face. Conservative combs and barrettes are acceptable. Men should be clean-shaven
with a neatly clipped established mustache and/or beard will be allowed.
3. Fingernails should be clean and short.
4. A watch with a second hand should be worn. Novelty watches are not appropriate.
5. Use of perfumes, colognes, or scented lotions should be avoided.
6. Purses and other valuable items should not be brought into the hospital or clinical
setting.
7. Students may smoke in designated smoking areas. There should be no smoking in
patient care areas or in the EMT classroom. If a student smokes, he/she should not
have an odor offensive to patients or classmates.
8. Jewelry in moderation; Absolutely no piercing jewelry in any part of the exposed body
including the ears. (Example Nose rings, eye rings or tongue rings)
9. No alcohol consumption or controlled/non-controlled substance abuse tolerated.
10. A name badge will be issued to each student to wear during clinical rotations. If you
lose this name badge, it must be replaced before doing any more clinical. A student
without a name badge will be sent home from clinical. The cost of replacing the name
badge is $5.
11. The clinical uniform shall only be worn during times directly connected to clinical or
classroom. Wearing the clinical uniform at any other time without expressed
permission of the instructor is a violation of the EMS program policies and
procedures and may result in disciplinary action including immediate dismissal from
the course.
Clinical Uniform: White shirt, navy or black pants (EMS pants are
acceptable…denim is NOT!); black belt and shoes; white uniform shirt purchased in
bookstore; student nametag; stethoscope; pen light; scissors; any deviation from
clinical uniform is unacceptable.
12. Deviations from dress code are unacceptable.

HEALTH POLICIES

Since good health is essential for the EMT, the following policies have been adopted:
1. A release from the student's physician will be required after hospitalization, any
surgical procedure or any conditions that will affect clinical practice.
2. A student is expected to report any condition that will affect his clinical practice. A

student will demonstrate good judgment by not reporting to the clinical setting while
experiencing overt signs and symptoms of an infectious process that would endanger
patient's well being.
3. Students who, in the opinion of the EMT coordinator and/or instructor, are showing
symptoms of physical or emotional illness may be required to have an appropriate
examination from a physician with a report submitted to the Coordinator.
4. Students diagnosed with a communicable disease must notify the coordinator.

Liability Insurance
In addition to regular tuition and fees, students will be assessed a fee for liability insurance
to cover them as EMS students. This insurance is mandatory.

Personal Illness Or Injury


Paris Junior College will not assume the responsibility for any illness or injury of a student
while engaged in any activity of any aspect of the Emergency Medical Technician
Program. Any medical expenses incurred during the EMS program will be the
responsibility of the student. The instructors reserve the right to seek medical help for any
student if they feel it is necessary. It is recommended the student carry personal medical
insurance. Hunt County Regional EMS requires all students to carry personal medical
insurance in order to ride as a student with their services. All students riding with Hunt
County Regional EMS are required to show proof of medical coverage.

Overall Grade
Quizzes may be given at any time at the discretion of the faculty. The EMT course is
composed of three distinct sections: lecture, skills lab, and clinical rotations. The final
grade in this course will be a composite of these elements. None of these components is
expendable, therefore, all must be completed satisfactorily prior to challenging the state
certification exam. Each element has its own set of unique performance standards. A
composite score of less than 80% or a failure of any subdivision is considered to be a
failure of the course.

Course Policies
Unsatisfactory Progress In A Course
Students who have unsatisfactory classroom performance will be given written
notification and a plan for remediation will be completed.

Clinical performance needing improvement or clinical performance that is unsatisfactory


will be specified in the documentation. If the student does not show improvement, the
probation status will be implemented. A student may be placed on probation at the
faculty team's decision without preliminary remediation.

Probationary Status:
Probationary criteria will be written in the form of behavioral objectives and recorded
Probationary Status". A time frame for review of status will be specified. The terms of
probation will be discussed with the student and validated by the signatures of the
course instructors and the student. At the end of the specified term of probation, the
student's status is reviewed by the course faculty. This review will be recorded. If the
probation criteria has been met, the student's probation is lifted. Failure to meet

probationary criteria will result in further disciplinary action up to and including failure
from the program. Probation will be contained within the course.

Withdrawal
A student may withdraw from an EMS course by using the procedure outlined in the
Paris Junior College catalog following counsel with his/her instructors and/or the
Director of the EMS Program. After withdrawing from an EMS course, a student must
reapply for admission to the EMS Program in order to enroll in any subsequent EMS
course.

The student must initiate the withdrawal procedure with the team leader prior to the
withdrawal date or a grade of "F" will be recorded for the total semester hours of the
dropped EMS course.

Dismissal
Any student may be dismissed from the program without a probationary period if the
student shows gross negligence, unsafe practices, lack of personal integrity, breach of
patient confidentiality, or commits a criminal or immoral act. Dismissal from the program
will be decided by the faculty, Director of Health Occupations and the Dean of Workforce
Education.

Personal integrity as well as concern for the welfare of patients entrusted to our care are
personal attributes that are absolutely essential for those entering the EMS profession.
Actions taken and attitudes expressed while in the student role are considered
indicative of behaviors to be expected of the graduate. The student will be given the
opportunity to discuss the incident(s) with the course team faculty.

Grounds For Immediate Dismissal From Program


A student may be subject to immediate dismissal from the EMS program, and failure of
the course in the following situations.
a. Failure to maintain client safety resulting in injury to the patient.
b. A medication error which results in injury to the patient.
c. The practice of academic dishonesty; such as, preparation for clinical and cheating
on tests or written assignments (both parties), making false entries in records
pertaining to the giving of medications, treatments, or nursing care, or failing to do so
under circumstances that indicate a disregard for patient safety or welfare.
d. The use of alcohol, illegal drugs, or misuse of prescription or any other drugs, during
school activities or on school property; or reporting to class/clinical under the
influence of alcohol or illegal drugs.
e. Appropriating, in connection with the practice of EMS, medication, supplies,
equipment, or personal items of the patient, employer, or any other person or entity.
(This includes accepting remuneration, gifts, etc.)

Procedure for Dismissal


STEP 1. Dismissal from the program will be initiated by the faculty team with prior
notification of the Director of Health Occupations. If the director is absent, the

Course # EMSP 1161 – Brad Bolton Page 3 of 8


C:\Users\ElaPit\Documents\Syllabi for 101s\Word to convert to PDF\EMSP1161 01 101s.doc 
Dean of Workforce Education must be notified prior to dismissal.
STEP 2. The team leader and instructor will meet with the student to inform him/her that
they are initiating the procedure. If the team leader is the instructor, another
faculty member will be present.
STEP 3. If the student wishes to contest this decision, he/she must file a Report of
Grievance with the team leader or Director of Health Occupation.

Grievance Procedure
Problems of an individual or of a personal nature should be handled in the following
ways: A student may formally express dissatisfaction with his/her progress in the EMS
Program. Grade disputes should be resolved at the lowest level possible (i.e., the
instructor and student). Recognizing that this is not always possible, the following
procedure has been adopted as policy for resolving grade and course progress
disputes. The steps have been defined to facilitate resolution at the lowest level and in
that interest; the order of steps will at no time be violated. The grievance procedure
must be initiated within two (2) working days of the incident by which time the student
must initiate a "Report of Grievance" with the team leader or Director of Health
Occupations if the team leader is not available..
STEP 1. The student should request an appointment to discuss the case with the faculty
and the team leader of the course. If a satisfactory decision still has not been
reached, the student may request to meet with the Director of the program.
STEP 2. If resolution of the grievance has not been reached under the guidance of the
Director, the student may request an appointment with representative
members of the faculty-as-a-whole. (The definition of faculty-as-a-whole: a
representative group of the EMS and a neutral party. After presentation of the
facts to the faculty-as-a-whole, the faculty vote will be taken by ballot and
tallied by the Director of the program and the neutral party. Failure will require
a two-thirds majority vote. The conference will be recorded on tape and on a
Grievance Conference Report form, a copy of which goes to the student and
the original placed in the Confidential File.
STEP 3. If resolution of the grievance has not been reached under the guidance of the
Director, the student may request an appointment with the Dean of Workforce
Education to present his/her case.
At any time during the grievance procedure should the student desire an attorney
present, he/she must notify the Director of the program at least 24 hours before a
scheduled meeting.

Attendance/Tardy Policy

Attendance is of significant importance in the Emergency Medical Technician program in


order to meet the objectives necessary for successful completion of the course. Absences
must be for emergencies only and must not exceed the maximum hours designated at the
beginning of the semester. The instructor or clinical agency must be notified prior to the
absence, or as soon as possible in accident situations. Any assignments missed because
of an absence or tardy is due on the assignments due date regardless of the absence. It is
the student’s responsibility to contact the instructor and make arrangements to receive the

Course # EMSP 1161 – Brad Bolton Page 4 of 8


C:\Users\ElaPit\Documents\Syllabi for 101s\Word to convert to PDF\EMSP1161 01 101s.doc 
assignments and complete them on the due date. Students who fail to take responsibility
for their assignments will receive a 0. This policy applies to major exams, quizzes and
home work. Any exceptions to this will be handled on a case by case basis. Absences and
tardiness without notification demonstrate lack of responsibility and may result in dismissal
or other disciplinary action.

Clinical And Field Internship


The purpose of the clinical and field internship is to provide the student with a progression
of increasing patient care responsibilities in order to proceed from observational
experience to working as a member of a team.

Students are expected to demonstrate achievement of all critical clinical objectives in the
hospital clinical area and field internship under direct supervision of a preceptor. Failure to
achieve all objectives will be handled on an individual basis but may result in failure of the
course. Specific written objectives will be required for each experience. Attire or uniforms
appropriate for the various agencies will be specified.

In all agency experiences, students should keep in mind that they are there for specific
learning experiences and are guests of the various agencies. Any behavior other than
complete professionalism may result in dismissal from the program. They are acting in the
capacity of students from the PJC Emergency Medical Technician Program and should
conduct themselves accordingly. If problems arise in the agencies, the instructor should be
notified immediately.

Scheduling Of Clinical Rotations


The clinical rotation sheets will be available for sign up in class. A copy of the rotation
sheet will be sent to the designated clinical site and the coordinator will retain the
original. All assignments will be made before the student reports to the clinical site.

Rules And Regulations At The Clinical Site


The student will be assigned to a preceptor by the charge nurse or other designated
person at the clinical site. Upon arrival at the clinical site, the student should report
directly to the person in charge. While at the clinical site the student shall always have
the following on their person; BCLS card, current level EMS certification card, and valid
driver’s license. The student shall wear his/her name badge for identification and
indicate the level of training to the person in charge. During the EMS rotation, students
must remain with the preceptors. Wandering off to other areas of the site or leaving for
lunch is not permissible. Once you are at the site, you are expected to stay at the site
until your shift is complete. Students can only perform skills in which they are checked
off on or certified to do while at the clinical site. Students are not allowed to go on out of
town, hospital to hospital transfers unless the paramedic attending the patient needs
assistance during transport. Shift supervisors must give expressed permission for
students to go on out of town transfers. While at the EMS internship rotation, the
student is expected to make every call that his/her preceptor makes unless given
permission by the preceptor. If you miss more than two calls during the course you
may be dismissed from the class. If you miss a call, remain at the EMS station until the

crew gets back. Following the ambulance in your personal vehicle is a violation of the
law and of PJC policies and procedures and punishable as such. While on the
ambulance, students will ride in the patient compartment at all times unless special
circumstances exist at which time the preceptor will decide where the student should
ride.

Documentation Of Records
It is the responsibility of the student to bring the appropriate forms to the clinical site.
Before the student leaves the clinical site for that particular rotation, all documentation is
to be completed. The preceptor will not verify and sign off any documentation after the
student has left the clinical site for that rotation. Absolutely no clinical forms will be
signed for any rotation except the rotation just completed. Students attempting to have
clinical sheets signed at any other time will be reported to the EMS Coordinator.
Attempting to falsify a clinical rotation will result in immediate dismissal from the course.

Dress Code
Dress in the classroom and skills lab should be comfortable; however, shorts or revealing
garments should not be worn. This is a distraction in the learning environment. EMTs and
Paramedics do not wear short shorts and low cut shirts while on duty. You will be
performing the same skills in the classroom as you do in the streets. Appearance of the
student in the clinical and field internship setting is of the utmost importance. Listed below
are partial guidelines to be followed:
1. Cleanliness and neat personal appearance are essential to the EMT.
2. Hair should be neat, clean, and worn in a conservative style that doesn't hang in the
face. Conservative combs and barrettes are acceptable. Men should be clean-shaven
with a neatly clipped established mustache and/or beard will be allowed.
3. Fingernails should be clean and short.
4. A watch with a second hand should be worn. Novelty watches are not appropriate.
5. Use of perfumes, colognes, or scented lotions should be avoided.
6. Purses and other valuable items should not be brought into the hospital or clinical
setting.
7. Students may smoke in designated smoking areas. There should be no smoking in
patient care areas or in the EMT classroom. If a student smokes, he/she should not
have an odor offensive to patients or classmates.
8. Jewelry in moderation; Absolutely no piercing jewelry in any part of the exposed body
including the ears. (Example Nose rings, eye rings or tongue rings)
9. No alcohol consumption or controlled/non-controlled substance abuse tolerated.
10. A name badge will be issued to each student to wear during clinical rotations. If you
lose this name badge, it must be replaced before doing any more clinical. A student
without a name badge will be sent home from clinical. The cost of replacing the name
badge is $5.
11. The clinical uniform shall only be worn during times directly connected to clinical or
classroom. Wearing the clinical uniform at any other time without expressed
permission of the instructor is a violation of the EMS program policies and
procedures and may result in disciplinary action including immediate dismissal from
the course.

Clinical Uniform: White shirt, navy or black pants (EMS pants are
acceptable…denim is NOT!); black belt and shoes; white uniform shirt purchased in
bookstore; student nametag; stethoscope; pen light; scissors; any deviation from
clinical uniform is unacceptable.
12. Deviations from dress code are unacceptable.

HEALTH POLICIES

Since good health is essential for the EMT, the following policies have been adopted:
1. A release from the student's physician will be required after hospitalization, any
surgical procedure or any conditions that will affect clinical practice.
2. A student is expected to report any condition that will affect his clinical practice. A
student will demonstrate good judgment by not reporting to the clinical setting while
experiencing overt signs and symptoms of an infectious process that would endanger
patient's well being.
3. Students who, in the opinion of the EMT coordinator and/or instructor, are showing
symptoms of physical or emotional illness may be required to have an appropriate
examination from a physician with a report submitted to the Coordinator.
4. Students diagnosed with a communicable disease must notify the coordinator.

Liability Insurance
In addition to regular tuition and fees, students will be assessed a fee for liability insurance
to cover them as EMS students. This insurance is mandatory.

Personal Illness Or Injury


Paris Junior College will not assume the responsibility for any illness or injury of a student
while engaged in any activity of any aspect of the Emergency Medical Technician
Program. Any medical expenses incurred during the EMS program will be the
responsibility of the student. The instructors reserve the right to seek medical help for any
student if they feel it is necessary. It is recommended the student carry personal medical
insurance. Hunt County Regional EMS requires all students to carry personal medical
insurance in order to ride as a student with their services. All students riding with Hunt
County Regional EMS are required to show proof of medical coverage.

Overall Grade
Quizzes may be given at any time at the discretion of the faculty. The EMT course is
composed of three distinct sections: lecture, skills lab, and clinical rotations. The final
grade in this course will be a composite of these elements. None of these components is
expendable, therefore, all must be completed satisfactorily prior to challenging the state
certification exam. Each element has its own set of unique performance standards. A
composite score of less than 80% or a failure of any subdivision is considered to be a
failure of the course.

examination will count as a module exam. Any malpractices demonstrated during
clinical / internship will result in a failure of this course. A passing evaluation in the skills
component of the course is required for a passing grade. A failure in skills will result in
failure of the course – 2 attempts are provided. Any special work must be turned in
on time. One point per day will be subtracted from module exam average for each late
paper.

An overall grade average of at least 80% must be maintained in the class at all times.

Before the student leaves the clinical site for that particular rotation, all documentation is
to be completed. The preceptor will not verify and sign off any documentation after the
student has left the clinical site for that rotation. Absolutely no clinical forms will be
signed for any rotation except the rotation just completed. Students attempting to have
clinical sheets signed at any other time will be reported to the EMS Coordinator.
Attempting to falsify a clinical rotation will result in immediate dismissal from the course.

Dress Code
Dress in the classroom and skills lab should be comfortable; however, shorts or revealing
garments should not be worn. This is a distraction in the learning environment. EMTs and
Paramedics do not wear short shorts and low cut shirts while on duty. You will be
performing the same skills in the classroom as you do in the streets. Appearance of the
student in the clinical and field internship setting is of the utmost importance. Listed below
are partial guidelines to be followed:
1. Cleanliness and neat personal appearance are essential to the EMT.
2. Hair should be neat, clean, and worn in a conservative style that doesn't hang in the
face. Conservative combs and barrettes are acceptable. Men should be clean-shaven
with a neatly clipped established mustache and/or beard will be allowed.
3. Fingernails should be clean and short.
4. A watch with a second hand should be worn. Novelty watches are not appropriate.
5. Use of perfumes, colognes, or scented lotions should be avoided.
6. Purses and other valuable items should not be brought into the hospital or clinical
setting.
7. Students may smoke in designated smoking areas. There should be no smoking in
patient care areas or in the EMT classroom. If a student smokes, he/she should not
have an odor offensive to patients or classmates.
8. Jewelry in moderation; Absolutely no piercing jewelry in any part of the exposed body
including the ears. (Example Nose rings, eye rings or tongue rings)
9. No alcohol consumption or controlled/non-controlled substance abuse tolerated.
10. A name badge will be issued to each student to wear during clinical rotations. If you
lose this name badge, it must be replaced before doing any more clinical. A student
without a name badge will be sent home from clinical. The cost of replacing the name
badge is $5.
11. The clinical uniform shall only be worn during times directly connected to clinical or
classroom. Wearing the clinical uniform at any other time without expressed
permission of the instructor is a violation of the EMS program policies and
procedures and may result in disciplinary action including immediate dismissal from
the course.
Clinical Uniform: White shirt, navy or black pants (EMS pants are
acceptable…denim is NOT!); black belt and shoes; white uniform shirt purchased in
bookstore; student nametag; stethoscope; pen light; scissors; any deviation from
clinical uniform is unacceptable.
12. Deviations from dress code are unacceptable.

Since good health is essential for the EMT, the following policies have been adopted:
1. A release from the student's physician will be required after hospitalization, any
surgical procedure or any conditions that will affect clinical practice.
2. A student is expected to report any condition that will affect his clinical practice. A
student will demonstrate good judgment by not reporting to the clinical setting while
experiencing overt signs and symptoms of an infectious process that would endanger
patient's well being.
3. Students who, in the opinion of the EMT coordinator and/or instructor, are showing
symptoms of physical or emotional illness may be required to have an appropriate
examination from a physician with a report submitted to the Coordinator.
4. Students diagnosed with a communicable disease must notify the coordinator.

Liability Insurance
In addition to regular tuition and fees, students will be assessed a fee for liability insurance
to cover them as EMS students. This insurance is mandatory.

Personal Illness Or Injury


Paris Junior College will not assume the responsibility for any illness or injury of a student
while engaged in any activity of any aspect of the Emergency Medical Technician
Program. Any medical expenses incurred during the EMS program will be the
responsibility of the student. The instructors reserve the right to seek medical help for any
student if they feel it is necessary. It is recommended the student carry personal medical
insurance. Hunt County Regional EMS requires all students to carry personal medical
insurance in order to ride as a student with their services. All students riding with Hunt
County Regional EMS are required to show proof of medical coverage.

Overall Grade
Quizzes may be given at any time at the discretion of the faculty. The EMT course is
composed of three distinct sections: lecture, skills lab, and clinical rotations. The final
grade in this course will be a composite of these elements. None of these components is
expendable, therefore, all must be completed satisfactorily prior to challenging the state
certification exam. Each element has its own set of unique performance standards. A
composite score of less than 80% or a failure of any subdivision is considered to be a
failure of the course.

Course Requirements and Evaluation
Determination of Course Grade:
Module exams grades will be averaged to equal ¾ of the ongoing average grade.
Homework and quizzes will equal ¼ of average grade. The comprehensive final
examination will count as a module exam. Any malpractices demonstrated during
clinical / internship will result in a failure of this course. A passing evaluation in the
skills component of the course is required for a passing grade. A failure in skills will
result in failure of the course – 2 attempts are provided. Any special work must be
turned in
on time. One point per day will be subtracted from module exam average for each
late paper.

An overall grade average of at least 80% must be maintained in the class at all times.
Any test grade below 70% is considered a failing grade. The student will then get one
retest on which a grade of 70% or higher must be achieved. If the student fails a
retest then the student will not be released for the state exam and will not be allowed
to complete the clinical internship. You will be allowed to stay in the classroom portion
of the program for college credit if you wish.

Classroom reasons for not being released for the National Registry exam are listed
below:
1. Overall grade average falling below 80%
2. Repeated failure of skills
3. Failure of any retest

Grade Range
“A” 90 – 100
“B” 80 –89
“C” 70-79
“D” 60-69
“F” Below 60

Course Policies
Unsatisfactory Progress In A Course
Students who have unsatisfactory classroom performance will be given written
notification and a plan for remediation will be completed.

Clinical performance needing improvement or clinical performance that is


unsatisfactory will be specified in the documentation. If the student does not show
improvement, the probation status will be implemented. A student may be placed on
probation at the faculty team's decision without preliminary remediation.

Probationary Status:
Probationary criteria will be written in the form of behavioral objectives and recorded
Probationary Status". A time frame for review of status will be specified. The terms of
probation will be discussed with the student and validated by the signatures of the

Course # EMSP 1438 – Blaine Jones Page 3 of 9


C:\Users\ElaPit\Documents\Syllabi for 101s\Word to convert to PDF\EMSP1438 10 101s.doc 
course instructors and the student. At the end of the specified term of probation, the
student's status is reviewed by the course faculty. This review will be recorded. If the
probation criteria has been met, the student's probation is lifted. Failure to meet
probationary criteria will result in further disciplinary action up to and including failure
from the program. Probation will be contained within the course.

Withdrawal
A student may withdraw from an EMS course by using the procedure outlined in the
Paris Junior College catalog following counsel with his/her instructors and/or the
Director of the EMS Program. After withdrawing from an EMS course, a student must
reapply for admission to the EMS Program in order to enroll in any subsequent EMS
course.

The student must initiate the withdrawal procedure with the team leader prior to the
withdrawal date or a grade of "F" will be recorded for the total semester hours of the
dropped EMS course.

Dismissal
Any student may be dismissed from the program without a probationary period if the
student shows gross negligence, unsafe practices, lack of personal integrity, breach of
patient confidentiality, or commits a criminal or immoral act. Dismissal from the program
will be decided by the faculty, Director of Health Occupations and the Dean of Workforce
Education.

Personal integrity as well as concern for the welfare of patients entrusted to our care
are personal attributes that are absolutely essential for those entering the EMS
profession. Actions taken and attitudes expressed while in the student role are
considered indicative of behaviors to be expected of the graduate. The student will be
given the opportunity to discuss the incident(s) with the course team faculty.

Grounds For Immediate Dismissal From Program


A student may be subject to immediate dismissal from the EMS program, and failure
of the course in the following situations.
a. Failure to maintain client safety resulting in injury to the patient.
b. A medication error which results in injury to the patient.
c. The practice of academic dishonesty; such as, preparation for clinical and
cheating on tests or written assignments (both parties), making false entries in
records pertaining to the giving of medications, treatments, or nursing care, or
failing to do so under circumstances that indicate a disregard for patient safety or
welfare.
d. The use of alcohol, illegal drugs, or misuse of prescription or any other drugs,
during school activities or on school property; or reporting to class/clinical under
the influence of alcohol or illegal drugs.
e. Appropriating, in connection with the practice of EMS, medication, supplies,
equipment, or personal items of the patient, employer, or any other person or
entity. (This includes accepting remuneration, gifts, etc.)

Procedure for Dismissal
STEP 1. Dismissal from the program will be initiated by the faculty team with prior
notification of the Director of Health Occupations. If the director is absent,
the Dean of Workforce Education must be notified prior to dismissal.
STEP 2. The team leader and instructor will meet with the student to inform him/her
that they are initiating the procedure. If the team leader is the instructor,
another faculty member will be present.
STEP 3. If the student wishes to contest this decision, he/she must file a Report of
Grievance with the team leader or Director of Health Occupation.

Grievance Procedure
Problems of an individual or of a personal nature should be handled in the following
ways: A student may formally express dissatisfaction with his/her progress in the EMS
Program. Grade disputes should be resolved at the lowest level possible (i.e., the
instructor and student). Recognizing that this is not always possible, the following
procedure has been adopted as policy for resolving grade and course progress
disputes. The steps have been defined to facilitate resolution at the lowest level and
in that interest; the order of steps will at no time be violated. The grievance procedure
must be initiated within two (2) working days of the incident by which time the student
must initiate a "Report of Grievance" with the team leader or Director of Health
Occupations if the team leader is not available..
STEP 1. The student should request an appointment to discuss the case with the
faculty and the team leader of the course. If a satisfactory decision still has
not been reached, the student may request to meet with the Director of the
program.
STEP 2. If resolution of the grievance has not been reached under the guidance of
the Director, the student may request an appointment with representative
members of the faculty-as-a-whole. (The definition of faculty-as-a-whole: a
representative group of the EMS and a neutral party. After presentation of
the facts to the faculty-as-a-whole, the faculty vote will be taken by ballot
and tallied by the Director of the program and the neutral party. Failure will
require a two-thirds majority vote. The conference will be recorded on tape
and on a Grievance Conference Report form, a copy of which goes to the
student and the original placed in the Confidential File.
STEP 3. If resolution of the grievance has not been reached under the guidance of
the Director, the student may request an appointment with the Dean of
Workforce Education to present his/her case.
At any time during the grievance procedure should the student desire an attorney
present, he/she must notify the Director of the program at least 24 hours before a
scheduled meeting.

Attendance/Tardy Policy
Attendance is of significant importance in the Emergency Medical Technician program in
order to meet the objectives necessary for successful completion of the course.
Absences must be for emergencies only and must not exceed the maximum hours

Course # EMSP 1438 – Blaine Jones Page 5 of 9


C:\Users\ElaPit\Documents\Syllabi for 101s\Word to convert to PDF\EMSP1438 10 101s.doc 
designated at the beginning of the semester. The instructor or clinical agency must be
notified prior to the absence, or as soon as possible in accident situations. Any
assignments missed because of an absence or tardy is due on the assignments due
date regardless of the absence. It is the student’s responsibility to contact the instructor
and make arrangements to receive the assignments and complete them on the due
date. Students who fail to take responsibility for their assignments will receive a 0. This
policy applies to major exams, quizzes and home work. Any exceptions to this will be
handled on a case by case basis. Absences and tardiness without notification
demonstrate lack of responsibility and may result in dismissal or other disciplinary
action.

Clinical And Field Internship


The purpose of the clinical and field internship is to provide the student with a
progression of increasing patient care responsibilities in order to proceed from
observational experience to working as a member of a team.

Students are expected to demonstrate achievement of all critical clinical objectives in the
hospital clinical area and field internship under direct supervision of a preceptor. Failure
to achieve all objectives will be handled on an individual basis but may result in failure of
the course. Specific written objectives will be required for each experience. Attire or
uniforms appropriate for the various agencies will be specified.

In all agency experiences, students should keep in mind that they are there for specific
learning experiences and are guests of the various agencies. Any behavior other than
complete professionalism may result in dismissal from the program. They are acting in
the capacity of students from the PJC Emergency Medical Technician Program and
should conduct themselves accordingly. If problems arise in the agencies, the instructor
should be notified immediately.

Scheduling Of Clinical Rotations


The clinical rotation sheets will be available for sign up in class. A copy of the rotation
sheet will be sent to the designated clinical site and the coordinator will retain the
original. All assignments will be made before the student reports to the clinical site.

Rules And Regulations At The Clinical Site


The student will be assigned to a preceptor by the charge nurse or other designated
person at the clinical site. Upon arrival at the clinical site, the student should report
directly to the person in charge. While at the clinical site the student shall always have
the following on their person; BCLS card, current level EMS certification card, and
valid driver’s license. The student shall wear his/her name badge for identification and
indicate the level of training to the person in charge. During the EMS rotation,
students must remain with the preceptors. Wandering off to other areas of the site or
leaving for lunch is not permissible. Once you are at the site, you are expected to stay
at the site until your shift is complete. Students can only perform skills in which they
are checked off on or certified to do while at the clinical site. Students are not allowed
to go on out of town, hospital to hospital transfers unless the paramedic attending the

Course # EMSP 1438 – Blaine Jones Page 6 of 9


C:\Users\ElaPit\Documents\Syllabi for 101s\Word to convert to PDF\EMSP1438 10 101s.doc 
patient needs assistance during transport. Shift supervisors must give expressed
permission for students to go on out of town transfers. While at the EMS internship
rotation, the student is expected to make every call that his/her preceptor makes
unless given permission by the preceptor. If you miss more than two calls during the
course you may be dismissed from the class. If you miss a call, remain at the EMS
station until the crew gets back. Following the ambulance in your personal vehicle is a
violation of the law and of PJC policies and procedures and punishable as such.
While on the ambulance, students will ride in the patient compartment at all times
unless special circumstances exist at which time the preceptor will decide where the
student should ride.

Documentation Of Records
It is the responsibility of the student to bring the appropriate forms to the clinical site.
Before the student leaves the clinical site for that particular rotation, all documentation
is to be completed. The preceptor will not verify and sign off any documentation after
the student has left the clinical site for that rotation. Absolutely no clinical forms will be
signed for any rotation except the rotation just completed. Students attempting to
have clinical sheets signed at any other time will be reported to the EMS Coordinator.
Attempting to falsify a clinical rotation will result in immediate dismissal from the
course.

Course Requirements and Evaluation


Determination of Course Grade:
Module exams grades will be averaged to equal ¾ of the ongoing average grade.
Homework and quizzes will equal ¼ of average grade. The comprehensive final
examination will count as a module exam. Any malpractices demonstrated during
clinical / internship will result in a failure of this course. A passing evaluation in the skills
component of the course is required for a passing grade. A failure in skills will result in
failure of the course – 2 attempts are provided. Any special work must be turned in
on time. One point per day will be subtracted from module exam average for each late
paper.

An overall grade average of at least 80% must be maintained in the class at all times.
Any test grade below 70% is considered a failing grade. The student will then get one
retest on which a grade of 70% or higher must be achieved. If the student fails a retest
then the student will not be released for the state exam and will not be allowed to
complete the clinical internship. You will be allowed to stay in the classroom portion of
the program for college credit if you wish.

Classroom reasons for not being released for the National Registry exam are listed
below:
1. Overall grade average falling below 80%
2. Repeated failure of skills
3. Failure of any retest

Grade Range
“A” 90 – 100
“B” 80 –89
“C” 70-79
“D” 60-69
“F” Below 60

Course Policies
Unsatisfactory Progress In A Course
Students who have unsatisfactory classroom performance will be given written
notification and a plan for remediation will be completed.

Clinical performance needing improvement or clinical performance that is unsatisfactory


will be specified in the documentation. If the student does not show improvement, the
probation status will be implemented. A student may be placed on probation at the
faculty team's decision without preliminary remediation.

Probationary Status:
Probationary criteria will be written in the form of behavioral objectives and recorded
Probationary Status". A time frame for review of status will be specified. The terms of
probation will be discussed with the student and validated by the signatures of the
course instructors and the student. At the end of the specified term of probation, the
student's status is reviewed by the course faculty. This review will be recorded. If the
probation criteria has been met, the student's probation is lifted. Failure to meet
probationary criteria will result in further disciplinary action up to and including failure
from the program. Probation will be contained within the course.

Withdrawal
A student may withdraw from an EMS course by using the procedure outlined in the
Paris Junior College catalog following counsel with his/her instructors and/or the
Director of the EMS Program. After withdrawing from an EMS course, a student must
reapply for admission to the EMS Program in order to enroll in any subsequent EMS

course.

The student must initiate the withdrawal procedure with the team leader prior to the
withdrawal date or a grade of "F" will be recorded for the total semester hours of the
dropped EMS course.

Dismissal
Any student may be dismissed from the program without a probationary period if the
student shows gross negligence, unsafe practices, lack of personal integrity, breach of
patient confidentiality, or commits a criminal or immoral act. Dismissal from the program
will be decided by the faculty, Director of Health Occupations and the Dean of Workforce
Education.

Personal integrity as well as concern for the welfare of patients entrusted to our care are
personal attributes that are absolutely essential for those entering the EMS profession.
Actions taken and attitudes expressed while in the student role are considered
indicative of behaviors to be expected of the graduate. The student will be given the
opportunity to discuss the incident(s) with the course team faculty.

Grounds For Immediate Dismissal From Program


A student may be subject to immediate dismissal from the EMS program, and failure of
the course in the following situations.
a. Failure to maintain client safety resulting in injury to the patient.
b. A medication error which results in injury to the patient.
c. The practice of academic dishonesty; such as, preparation for clinical and cheating on
tests or written assignments (both parties), making false entries in records pertaining to
the giving of medications, treatments, or nursing care, or failing to do so under circumstances
that indicate a disregard for patient safety or welfare.
d. The use of alcohol, illegal drugs, or misuse of prescription or any other drugs, during school
activities or on school property; or reporting to class/clinical under the influence of alcohol or
illegal drugs.
e. Appropriating, in connection with the practice of EMS, medication, supplies, equipment, or
personal items of the patient, employer, or any other person or entity. (This includes
accepting remuneration, gifts, etc.)

Procedure for Dismissal


STEP 1. Dismissal from the program will be initiated by the faculty team with prior
notification of the Director of Health Occupations. If the director is absent, the
Dean of Workforce Education must be notified prior to dismissal.

STEP 2. The team leader and instructor will meet with the student to inform him/her that
they are initiating the procedure. If the team leader is the instructor, another
faculty member will be present.

STEP 3. If the student wishes to contest this decision, he/she must file a Report of
Grievance with the team leader or Director of Health Occupation.

C:\Users\ElaPit\Documents\Syllabi for 101s\Word to convert to PDF\EMSP1501 01 101s.doc 
Grievance Procedure
Problems of an individual or of a personal nature should be handled in the following
ways: A student may formally express dissatisfaction with his/her progress in the EMS
Program. Grade disputes should be resolved at the lowest level possible (i.e., the
instructor and student). Recognizing that this is not always possible, the following
procedure has been adopted as policy for resolving grade and course progress
disputes. The steps have been defined to facilitate resolution at the lowest level and in
that interest; the order of steps will at no time be violated. The grievance procedure
must be initiated within two (2) working days of the incident by which time the student
must initiate a "Report of Grievance" with the team leader or Director of Health
Occupations if the team leader is not available..
STEP 1. The student should request an appointment to discuss the case with the faculty
and the team leader of the course. If a satisfactory decision still has not been
reached, the student may request to meet with the Director of the program.
STEP 2. If resolution of the grievance has not been reached under the guidance of the
Director, the student may request an appointment with representative
members of the faculty-as-a-whole. (The definition of faculty-as-a-whole: a
representative group of the EMS and a neutral party. After presentation of the
facts to the faculty-as-a-whole, the faculty vote will be taken by ballot and
tallied by the Director of the program and the neutral party. Failure will require
a two-thirds majority vote. The conference will be recorded on tape and on a
Grievance Conference Report form, a copy of which goes to the student and
the original placed in the Confidential File.
STEP 3. If resolution of the grievance has not been reached under the guidance of the
Director, the student may request an appointment with the Dean of Workforce
Education to present his/her case.
At any time during the grievance procedure should the student desire an attorney
present, he/she must notify the Director of the program at least 24 hours before a
scheduled meeting.

Attendance/Tardy Policy

Attendance is of significant importance in the Emergency Medical Technician program in


order to meet the objectives necessary for successful completion of the course. Absences
must be for emergencies only and must not exceed the maximum hours designated at the
beginning of the semester. The instructor or clinical agency must be notified prior to the
absence, or as soon as possible in accident situations. Any assignments missed because
of an absence or tardy is due on the assignments due date regardless of the absence. It is
the student’s responsibility to contact the instructor and make arrangements to receive the
assignments and complete them on the due date. Students who fail to take responsibility
for their assignments will receive a 0. This policy applies to major exams, quizzes and
home work. Any exceptions to this will be handled on a case by case basis. Absences and
tardiness without notification demonstrate lack of responsibility and may result in dismissal
or other disciplinary action.

Clinical And Field Internship
The purpose of the clinical and field internship is to provide the student with a progression
of increasing patient care responsibilities in order to proceed from observational
experience to working as a member of a team.

Students are expected to demonstrate achievement of all critical clinical objectives in the
hospital clinical area and field internship under direct supervision of a preceptor. Failure to
achieve all objectives will be handled on an individual basis but may result in failure of the
course. Specific written objectives will be required for each experience. Attire or uniforms
appropriate for the various agencies will be specified.

In all agency experiences, students should keep in mind that they are there for specific
learning experiences and are guests of the various agencies. Any behavior other than
complete professionalism may result in dismissal from the program. They are acting in the
capacity of students from the PJC Emergency Medical Technician Program and should
conduct themselves accordingly. If problems arise in the agencies, the instructor should be
notified immediately.

Scheduling Of Clinical Rotations


The clinical rotation sheets will be available for sign up in class. A copy of the rotation
sheet will be sent to the designated clinical site and the coordinator will retain the
original. All assignments will be made before the student reports to the clinical site.

Rules And Regulations At The Clinical Site


The student will be assigned to a preceptor by the charge nurse or other designated
person at the clinical site. Upon arrival at the clinical site, the student should report
directly to the person in charge. While at the clinical site the student shall always have
the following on their person; BCLS card, current level EMS certification card, and valid
driver’s license. The student shall wear his/her name badge for identification and
indicate the level of training to the person in charge. During the EMS rotation, students
must remain with the preceptors. Wandering off to other areas of the site or leaving for
lunch is not permissible. Once you are at the site, you are expected to stay at the site
until your shift is complete. Students can only perform skills in which they are checked
off on or certified to do while at the clinical site. Students are not allowed to go on out of
town, hospital to hospital transfers unless the paramedic attending the patient needs
assistance during transport. Shift supervisors must give expressed permission for
students to go on out of town transfers. While at the EMS internship rotation, the
student is expected to make every call that his/her preceptor makes unless given
permission by the preceptor. If you miss more than two calls during the course you
may be dismissed from the class. If you miss a call, remain at the EMS station until the
crew gets back. Following the ambulance in your personal vehicle is a violation of the
law and of PJC policies and procedures and punishable as such. While on the
ambulance, students will ride in the patient compartment at all times unless special
circumstances exist at which time the preceptor will decide where the student should
ride.

Documentation Of Records
It is the responsibility of the student to bring the appropriate forms to the clinical site.
Before the student leaves the clinical site for that particular rotation, all documentation is
to be completed. The preceptor will not verify and sign off any documentation after the
student has left the clinical site for that rotation. Absolutely no clinical forms will be
signed for any rotation except the rotation just completed. Students attempting to have
clinical sheets signed at any other time will be reported to the EMS Coordinator.
Attempting to falsify a clinical rotation will result in immediate dismissal from the course.

Dress Code
Dress in the classroom and skills lab should be comfortable; however, shorts or revealing
garments should not be worn. This is a distraction in the learning environment. EMTs and
Paramedics do not wear short shorts and low cut shirts while on duty. You will be
performing the same skills in the classroom as you do in the streets. Appearance of the
student in the clinical and field internship setting is of the utmost importance. Listed below
are partial guidelines to be followed:
1. Cleanliness and neat personal appearance are essential to the EMT.
2. Hair should be neat, clean, and worn in a conservative style that doesn't hang in the
face. Conservative combs and barrettes are acceptable. Men should be clean-shaven
with a neatly clipped established mustache and/or beard will be allowed.
3. Fingernails should be clean and short.
4. A watch with a second hand should be worn. Novelty watches are not appropriate.
5. Use of perfumes, colognes, or scented lotions should be avoided.
6. Purses and other valuable items should not be brought into the hospital or clinical
setting.
7. Students may smoke in designated smoking areas. There should be no smoking in
patient care areas or in the EMT classroom. If a student smokes, he/she should not
have an odor offensive to patients or classmates.
8. Jewelry in moderation; Absolutely no piercing jewelry in any part of the exposed body
including the ears. (Example Nose rings, eye rings or tongue rings)
9. No alcohol consumption or controlled/non-controlled substance abuse tolerated.
10. A name badge will be issued to each student to wear during clinical rotations. If you
lose this name badge, it must be replaced before doing any more clinical. A student
without a name badge will be sent home from clinical. The cost of replacing the name
badge is $5.
11. The clinical uniform shall only be worn during times directly connected to clinical or
classroom. Wearing the clinical uniform at any other time without expressed
permission of the instructor is a violation of the EMS program policies and
procedures and may result in disciplinary action including immediate dismissal from
the course.
Clinical Uniform: White shirt, navy or black pants (EMS pants are
acceptable…denim is NOT!); black belt and shoes; white uniform shirt purchased in
bookstore; student nametag; stethoscope; pen light; scissors; any deviation from
clinical uniform is unacceptable.
12. Deviations from dress code are unacceptable.

HEALTH POLICIES

Since good health is essential for the EMT, the following policies have been adopted:
1. A release from the student's physician will be required after hospitalization, any
surgical procedure or any conditions that will affect clinical practice.
2. A student is expected to report any condition that will affect his clinical practice. A
student will demonstrate good judgment by not reporting to the clinical setting while
experiencing overt signs and symptoms of an infectious process that would endanger
patient's well being.
3. Students who, in the opinion of the EMT coordinator and/or instructor, are showing
symptoms of physical or emotional illness may be required to have an appropriate
examination from a physician with a report submitted to the Coordinator.
4. Students diagnosed with a communicable disease must notify the coordinator.

Liability Insurance
In addition to regular tuition and fees, students will be assessed a fee for liability insurance
to cover them as EMS students. This insurance is mandatory.

Personal Illness Or Injury


Paris Junior College will not assume the responsibility for any illness or injury of a student
while engaged in any activity of any aspect of the Emergency Medical Technician
Program. Any medical expenses incurred during the EMS program will be the
responsibility of the student. The instructors reserve the right to seek medical help for any
student if they feel it is necessary. It is recommended the student carry personal medical
insurance. Hunt County Regional EMS requires all students to carry personal medical
insurance in order to ride as a student with their services. All students riding with Hunt
County Regional EMS are required to show proof of medical coverage.

Overall Grade
Quizzes may be given at any time at the discretion of the faculty. The EMT course is
composed of three distinct sections: lecture, skills lab, and clinical rotations. The final
grade in this course will be a composite of these elements. None of these components is
expendable, therefore, all must be completed satisfactorily prior to challenging the state
certification exam. Each element has its own set of unique performance standards. A
composite score of less than 80% or a failure of any subdivision is considered to be a
failure of the course.

An overall grade average of at least 80% must be maintained in the class at all times.
Any test grade below 70% is considered a failing grade. The student will then get one
retest on which a grade of 70% or higher must be achieved. If the student fails a retest
then the student will not be released for the state exam and will not be allowed to
complete the clinical internship. You will be allowed to stay in the classroom portion of
the program for college credit if you wish.

Classroom reasons for not being released for the National Registry exam are listed
below:
1. Overall grade average falling below 80%
2. Repeated failure of skills
3. Failure of any retest

Grade Range
“A” 90 – 100
“B” 80 –89
“C” 70-79
“D” 60-69
“F” Below 60

Course Policies
Unsatisfactory Progress In A Course
Students who have unsatisfactory classroom performance will be given written
notification and a plan for remediation will be completed.

Clinical performance needing improvement or clinical performance that is unsatisfactory


will be specified in the documentation. If the student does not show improvement, the
probation status will be implemented. A student may be placed on probation at the
faculty team's decision without preliminary remediation.

Probationary Status:
Probationary criteria will be written in the form of behavioral objectives and recorded
Probationary Status". A time frame for review of status will be specified. The terms of
probation will be discussed with the student and validated by the signatures of the
course instructors and the student. At the end of the specified term of probation, the
student's status is reviewed by the course faculty. This review will be recorded. If the
probation criteria has been met, the student's probation is lifted. Failure to meet
probationary criteria will result in further disciplinary action up to and including failure
from the program. Probation will be contained within the course.

Withdrawal
A student may withdraw from an EMS course by using the procedure outlined in the
Paris Junior College catalog following counsel with his/her instructors and/or the
Director of the EMS Program. After withdrawing from an EMS course, a student must
reapply for admission to the EMS Program in order to enroll in any subsequent EMS

course.

The student must initiate the withdrawal procedure with the team leader prior to the
withdrawal date or a grade of "F" will be recorded for the total semester hours of the
dropped EMS course.

Dismissal
Any student may be dismissed from the program without a probationary period if the
student shows gross negligence, unsafe practices, lack of personal integrity, breach of
patient confidentiality, or commits a criminal or immoral act. Dismissal from the program
will be decided by the faculty, Director of Health Occupations and the Dean of Workforce
Education.

Personal integrity as well as concern for the welfare of patients entrusted to our care are
personal attributes that are absolutely essential for those entering the EMS profession.
Actions taken and attitudes expressed while in the student role are considered
indicative of behaviors to be expected of the graduate. The student will be given the
opportunity to discuss the incident(s) with the course team faculty.

Grounds For Immediate Dismissal From Program


A student may be subject to immediate dismissal from the EMS program, and failure of
the course in the following situations.
a. Failure to maintain client safety resulting in injury to the patient.
b. A medication error which results in injury to the patient.
c. The practice of academic dishonesty; such as, preparation for clinical and cheating on
tests or written assignments (both parties), making false entries in records pertaining to
the giving of medications, treatments, or nursing care, or failing to do so under circumstances
that indicate a disregard for patient safety or welfare.
d. The use of alcohol, illegal drugs, or misuse of prescription or any other drugs, during school
activities or on school property; or reporting to class/clinical under the influence of alcohol or
illegal drugs.
e. Appropriating, in connection with the practice of EMS, medication, supplies, equipment, or
personal items of the patient, employer, or any other person or entity. (This includes
accepting remuneration, gifts, etc.)

Procedure for Dismissal


STEP 1. Dismissal from the program will be initiated by the faculty team with prior
notification of the Director of Health Occupations. If the director is absent, the
Dean of Workforce Education must be notified prior to dismissal.

STEP 2. The team leader and instructor will meet with the student to inform him/her that
they are initiating the procedure. If the team leader is the instructor, another
faculty member will be present.

STEP 3. If the student wishes to contest this decision, he/she must file a Report of
Grievance with the team leader or Director of Health Occupation.

C:\Users\ElaPit\Documents\Syllabi for 101s\Word to convert to PDF\EMSP1501 40 101s.doc 
Grievance Procedure
Problems of an individual or of a personal nature should be handled in the following
ways: A student may formally express dissatisfaction with his/her progress in the EMS
Program. Grade disputes should be resolved at the lowest level possible (i.e., the
instructor and student). Recognizing that this is not always possible, the following
procedure has been adopted as policy for resolving grade and course progress
disputes. The steps have been defined to facilitate resolution at the lowest level and in
that interest; the order of steps will at no time be violated. The grievance procedure
must be initiated within two (2) working days of the incident by which time the student
must initiate a "Report of Grievance" with the team leader or Director of Health
Occupations if the team leader is not available..
STEP 1. The student should request an appointment to discuss the case with the faculty
and the team leader of the course. If a satisfactory decision still has not been
reached, the student may request to meet with the Director of the program.
STEP 2. If resolution of the grievance has not been reached under the guidance of the
Director, the student may request an appointment with representative
members of the faculty-as-a-whole. (The definition of faculty-as-a-whole: a
representative group of the EMS and a neutral party. After presentation of the
facts to the faculty-as-a-whole, the faculty vote will be taken by ballot and
tallied by the Director of the program and the neutral party. Failure will require
a two-thirds majority vote. The conference will be recorded on tape and on a
Grievance Conference Report form, a copy of which goes to the student and
the original placed in the Confidential File.
STEP 3. If resolution of the grievance has not been reached under the guidance of the
Director, the student may request an appointment with the Dean of Workforce
Education to present his/her case.
At any time during the grievance procedure should the student desire an attorney
present, he/she must notify the Director of the program at least 24 hours before a
scheduled meeting.

Attendance/Tardy Policy

Attendance is of significant importance in the Emergency Medical Technician program in


order to meet the objectives necessary for successful completion of the course. Absences
must be for emergencies only and must not exceed the maximum hours designated at the
beginning of the semester. The instructor or clinical agency must be notified prior to the
absence, or as soon as possible in accident situations. Any assignments missed because
of an absence or tardy is due on the assignments due date regardless of the absence. It is
the student’s responsibility to contact the instructor and make arrangements to receive the
assignments and complete them on the due date. Students who fail to take responsibility
for their assignments will receive a 0. This policy applies to major exams, quizzes and
home work. Any exceptions to this will be handled on a case by case basis. Absences and
tardiness without notification demonstrate lack of responsibility and may result in dismissal
or other disciplinary action.

Clinical And Field Internship
The purpose of the clinical and field internship is to provide the student with a progression
of increasing patient care responsibilities in order to proceed from observational
experience to working as a member of a team.

Students are expected to demonstrate achievement of all critical clinical objectives in the
hospital clinical area and field internship under direct supervision of a preceptor. Failure to
achieve all objectives will be handled on an individual basis but may result in failure of the
course. Specific written objectives will be required for each experience. Attire or uniforms
appropriate for the various agencies will be specified.

In all agency experiences, students should keep in mind that they are there for specific
learning experiences and are guests of the various agencies. Any behavior other than
complete professionalism may result in dismissal from the program. They are acting in the
capacity of students from the PJC Emergency Medical Technician Program and should
conduct themselves accordingly. If problems arise in the agencies, the instructor should be
notified immediately.

Scheduling Of Clinical Rotations


The clinical rotation sheets will be available for sign up in class. A copy of the rotation
sheet will be sent to the designated clinical site and the coordinator will retain the
original. All assignments will be made before the student reports to the clinical site.

Rules And Regulations At The Clinical Site


The student will be assigned to a preceptor by the charge nurse or other designated
person at the clinical site. Upon arrival at the clinical site, the student should report
directly to the person in charge. While at the clinical site the student shall always have
the following on their person; BCLS card, current level EMS certification card, and valid
driver’s license. The student shall wear his/her name badge for identification and
indicate the level of training to the person in charge. During the EMS rotation, students
must remain with the preceptors. Wandering off to other areas of the site or leaving for
lunch is not permissible. Once you are at the site, you are expected to stay at the site
until your shift is complete. Students can only perform skills in which they are checked
off on or certified to do while at the clinical site. Students are not allowed to go on out of
town, hospital to hospital transfers unless the paramedic attending the patient needs
assistance during transport. Shift supervisors must give expressed permission for
students to go on out of town transfers. While at the EMS internship rotation, the
student is expected to make every call that his/her preceptor makes unless given
permission by the preceptor. If you miss more than two calls during the course you
may be dismissed from the class. If you miss a call, remain at the EMS station until the
crew gets back. Following the ambulance in your personal vehicle is a violation of the
law and of PJC policies and procedures and punishable as such. While on the
ambulance, students will ride in the patient compartment at all times unless special
circumstances exist at which time the preceptor will decide where the student should
ride.

Documentation Of Records
It is the responsibility of the student to bring the appropriate forms to the clinical site.
Before the student leaves the clinical site for that particular rotation, all documentation is
to be completed. The preceptor will not verify and sign off any documentation after the
student has left the clinical site for that rotation. Absolutely no clinical forms will be
signed for any rotation except the rotation just completed. Students attempting to have
clinical sheets signed at any other time will be reported to the EMS Coordinator.
Attempting to falsify a clinical rotation will result in immediate dismissal from the course.

Dress Code
Dress in the classroom and skills lab should be comfortable; however, shorts or revealing
garments should not be worn. This is a distraction in the learning environment. EMTs and
Paramedics do not wear short shorts and low cut shirts while on duty. You will be
performing the same skills in the classroom as you do in the streets. Appearance of the
student in the clinical and field internship setting is of the utmost importance. Listed below
are partial guidelines to be followed:
1. Cleanliness and neat personal appearance are essential to the EMT.
2. Hair should be neat, clean, and worn in a conservative style that doesn't hang in the
face. Conservative combs and barrettes are acceptable. Men should be clean-shaven
with a neatly clipped established mustache and/or beard will be allowed.
3. Fingernails should be clean and short.
4. A watch with a second hand should be worn. Novelty watches are not appropriate.
5. Use of perfumes, colognes, or scented lotions should be avoided.
6. Purses and other valuable items should not be brought into the hospital or clinical
setting.
7. Students may smoke in designated smoking areas. There should be no smoking in
patient care areas or in the EMT classroom. If a student smokes, he/she should not
have an odor offensive to patients or classmates.
8. Jewelry in moderation; Absolutely no piercing jewelry in any part of the exposed body
including the ears. (Example Nose rings, eye rings or tongue rings)
9. No alcohol consumption or controlled/non-controlled substance abuse tolerated.
10. A name badge will be issued to each student to wear during clinical rotations. If you
lose this name badge, it must be replaced before doing any more clinical. A student
without a name badge will be sent home from clinical. The cost of replacing the name
badge is $5.
11. The clinical uniform shall only be worn during times directly connected to clinical or
classroom. Wearing the clinical uniform at any other time without expressed
permission of the instructor is a violation of the EMS program policies and
procedures and may result in disciplinary action including immediate dismissal from
the course.
Clinical Uniform: White shirt, navy or black pants (EMS pants are
acceptable…denim is NOT!); black belt and shoes; white uniform shirt purchased in
bookstore; student nametag; stethoscope; pen light; scissors; any deviation from
clinical uniform is unacceptable.
12. Deviations from dress code are unacceptable.

HEALTH POLICIES

Since good health is essential for the EMT, the following policies have been adopted:
1. A release from the student's physician will be required after hospitalization, any
surgical procedure or any conditions that will affect clinical practice.
2. A student is expected to report any condition that will affect his clinical practice. A
student will demonstrate good judgment by not reporting to the clinical setting while
experiencing overt signs and symptoms of an infectious process that would endanger
patient's well being.
3. Students who, in the opinion of the EMT coordinator and/or instructor, are showing
symptoms of physical or emotional illness may be required to have an appropriate
examination from a physician with a report submitted to the Coordinator.
4. Students diagnosed with a communicable disease must notify the coordinator.

Liability Insurance
In addition to regular tuition and fees, students will be assessed a fee for liability insurance
to cover them as EMS students. This insurance is mandatory.

Personal Illness Or Injury


Paris Junior College will not assume the responsibility for any illness or injury of a student
while engaged in any activity of any aspect of the Emergency Medical Technician
Program. Any medical expenses incurred during the EMS program will be the
responsibility of the student. The instructors reserve the right to seek medical help for any
student if they feel it is necessary. It is recommended the student carry personal medical
insurance. Hunt County Regional EMS requires all students to carry personal medical
insurance in order to ride as a student with their services. All students riding with Hunt
County Regional EMS are required to show proof of medical coverage.

Overall Grade
Quizzes may be given at any time at the discretion of the faculty. The EMT course is
composed of three distinct sections: lecture, skills lab, and clinical rotations. The final
grade in this course will be a composite of these elements. None of these components is
expendable, therefore, all must be completed satisfactorily prior to challenging the state
certification exam. Each element has its own set of unique performance standards. A
composite score of less than 80% or a failure of any subdivision is considered to be a
failure of the course.

Director, the student may request an appointment with the Dean of Workforce
Education to present his/her case.
At any time during the grievance procedure should the student desire an attorney
present, he/she must notify the Director of the program at least 24 hours before a
scheduled meeting.

Attendance/Tardy Policy

Attendance is of significant importance in the Emergency Medical Technician program in


order to meet the objectives necessary for successful completion of the course. Absences
must be for emergencies only and must not exceed the maximum hours designated at the
beginning of the semester. The instructor or clinical agency must be notified prior to the
absence, or as soon as possible in accident situations. Any assignments missed because
of an absence or tardy is due on the assignments due date regardless of the absence. It is
the student’s responsibility to contact the instructor and make arrangements to receive the
assignments and complete them on the due date. Students who fail to take responsibility
for their assignments will receive a 0. This policy applies to major exams, quizzes and
home work. Any exceptions to this will be handled on a case by case basis. Absences and
tardiness without notification demonstrate lack of responsibility and may result in dismissal
or other disciplinary action.

Clinical And Field Internship


The purpose of the clinical and field internship is to provide the student with a progression
of increasing patient care responsibilities in order to proceed from observational
experience to working as a member of a team.

Students are expected to demonstrate achievement of all critical clinical objectives in the
hospital clinical area and field internship under direct supervision of a preceptor. Failure to
achieve all objectives will be handled on an individual basis but may result in failure of the
course. Specific written objectives will be required for each experience. Attire or uniforms
appropriate for the various agencies will be specified.

In all agency experiences, students should keep in mind that they are there for specific
learning experiences and are guests of the various agencies. Any behavior other than

complete professionalism may result in dismissal from the program. They are acting in the
capacity of students from the PJC Emergency Medical Technician Program and should
conduct themselves accordingly. If problems arise in the agencies, the instructor should be
notified immediately.

Scheduling Of Clinical Rotations


The clinical rotation sheets will be available for sign up in class. A copy of the rotation
sheet will be sent to the designated clinical site and the coordinator will retain the
original. All assignments will be made before the student reports to the clinical site.

Rules And Regulations At The Clinical Site


The student will be assigned to a preceptor by the charge nurse or other designated
person at the clinical site. Upon arrival at the clinical site, the student should report
directly to the person in charge. While at the clinical site the student shall always have
the following on their person; BCLS card, current level EMS certification card, and valid
driver’s license. The student shall wear his/her name badge for identification and
indicate the level of training to the person in charge. During the EMS rotation, students
must remain with the preceptors. Wandering off to other areas of the site or leaving for
lunch is not permissible. Once you are at the site, you are expected to stay at the site
until your shift is complete. Students can only perform skills in which they are checked
off on or certified to do while at the clinical site. Students are not allowed to go on out of
town, hospital to hospital transfers unless the paramedic attending the patient needs
assistance during transport. Shift supervisors must give expressed permission for
students to go on out of town transfers. While at the EMS internship rotation, the
student is expected to make every call that his/her preceptor makes unless given
permission by the preceptor. If you miss more than two calls during the course you
may be dismissed from the class. If you miss a call, remain at the EMS station until the
crew gets back. Following the ambulance in your personal vehicle is a violation of the
law and of PJC policies and procedures and punishable as such. While on the
ambulance, students will ride in the patient compartment at all times unless special
circumstances exist at which time the preceptor will decide where the student should
ride.

Documentation Of Records
It is the responsibility of the student to bring the appropriate forms to the clinical site.
Before the student leaves the clinical site for that particular rotation, all documentation is
to be completed. The preceptor will not verify and sign off any documentation after the
student has left the clinical site for that rotation. Absolutely no clinical forms will be
signed for any rotation except the rotation just completed. Students attempting to have
clinical sheets signed at any other time will be reported to the EMS Coordinator.
Attempting to falsify a clinical rotation will result in immediate dismissal from the course.

Dress Code
Dress in the classroom and skills lab should be comfortable; however, shorts or revealing
garments should not be worn. This is a distraction in the learning environment. EMTs and
Paramedics do not wear short shorts and low cut shirts while on duty. You will be

performing the same skills in the classroom as you do in the streets. Appearance of the
student in the clinical and field internship setting is of the utmost importance. Listed below
are partial guidelines to be followed:
1. Cleanliness and neat personal appearance are essential to the EMT.
2. Hair should be neat, clean, and worn in a conservative style that doesn't hang in the
face. Conservative combs and barrettes are acceptable. Men should be clean-shaven
with a neatly clipped established mustache and/or beard will be allowed.
3. Fingernails should be clean and short.
4. A watch with a second hand should be worn. Novelty watches are not appropriate.
5. Use of perfumes, colognes, or scented lotions should be avoided.
6. Purses and other valuable items should not be brought into the hospital or clinical
setting.
7. Students may smoke in designated smoking areas. There should be no smoking in
patient care areas or in the EMT classroom. If a student smokes, he/she should not
have an odor offensive to patients or classmates.
8. Jewelry in moderation; Absolutely no piercing jewelry in any part of the exposed body
including the ears. (Example Nose rings, eye rings or tongue rings)
9. No alcohol consumption or controlled/non-controlled substance abuse tolerated.
10. A name badge will be issued to each student to wear during clinical rotations. If you
lose this name badge, it must be replaced before doing any more clinical. A student
without a name badge will be sent home from clinical. The cost of replacing the name
badge is $5.
11. The clinical uniform shall only be worn during times directly connected to clinical or
classroom. Wearing the clinical uniform at any other time without expressed
permission of the instructor is a violation of the EMS program policies and
procedures and may result in disciplinary action including immediate dismissal from
the course.
Clinical Uniform: White shirt, navy or black pants (EMS pants are
acceptable…denim is NOT!); black belt and shoes; white uniform shirt purchased in
bookstore; student nametag; stethoscope; pen light; scissors; any deviation from
clinical uniform is unacceptable.
12. Deviations from dress code are unacceptable.

HEALTH POLICIES

Since good health is essential for the EMT, the following policies have been adopted:
1. A release from the student's physician will be required after hospitalization, any
surgical procedure or any conditions that will affect clinical practice.
2. A student is expected to report any condition that will affect his clinical practice. A
student will demonstrate good judgment by not reporting to the clinical setting while
experiencing overt signs and symptoms of an infectious process that would endanger
patient's well being.
3. Students who, in the opinion of the EMT coordinator and/or instructor, are showing
symptoms of physical or emotional illness may be required to have an appropriate
examination from a physician with a report submitted to the Coordinator.
4. Students diagnosed with a communicable disease must notify the coordinator.

Liability Insurance
In addition to regular tuition and fees, students will be assessed a fee for liability insurance
to cover them as EMS students. This insurance is mandatory.

Personal Illness Or Injury


Paris Junior College will not assume the responsibility for any illness or injury of a student
while engaged in any activity of any aspect of the Emergency Medical Technician
Program. Any medical expenses incurred during the EMS program will be the
responsibility of the student. The instructors reserve the right to seek medical help for any
student if they feel it is necessary. It is recommended the student carry personal medical
insurance. Hunt County Regional EMS requires all students to carry personal medical
insurance in order to ride as a student with their services. All students riding with Hunt
County Regional EMS are required to show proof of medical coverage.

Overall Grade
Quizzes may be given at any time at the discretion of the faculty. The EMT course is
composed of three distinct sections: lecture, skills lab, and clinical rotations. The final
grade in this course will be a composite of these elements. None of these components is
expendable, therefore, all must be completed satisfactorily prior to challenging the state
certification exam. Each element has its own set of unique performance standards. A
composite score of less than 80% or a failure of any subdivision is considered to be a
failure of the course.

Course Policies
ATTENDANCE POLICIES

Medical Records Coding students will follow the absence and tardy policies of Paris
Junior College as discussed in the school catalog, with the following modifications
because of the nature of Medical Records Coding:

1. During inclement weather on practicum days, the student must make his/her
own decision regarding safety for travel to school. A student who decides not to
attend practicum/class because of inclement weather will receive an absence
unless official notification by the college has been made that classes are closed.
2. Any student arriving at the practicum area later than 30 minutes will be given an
absence. Students arriving 30 minutes or less at the practicum area will receive
a tardy. Students missing 60 minutes or less of classroom during a given day
will receive a tardy. Students missing more than 60 minutes will be given an
absence. A tardy or absence such as arriving late or leaving early may occur at
any point during the day. Students may miss up to 60 minutes of practicum and
receive a tardy, with the exception of the 30 minutes arrival rule
( i.e. the student who arrives 15 minutes late to practicum and leaves 45
minutes early from post-conference would miss 60 minutes or less and receive a
tardy).
3. Three (3) tardies = one (1) absence.
4. Permission to enter the practicum will be left to the discretion of the practicum
instructor.
A. Students must demonstrate accountability to clients. If a student reports to
practicum with an illness which may pose a threat to clients, he/she will be
dismissed from the practicum area and will receive a practicum absence.
5. Students who are absent will be required to make up the lab/practicum hours.
A. Should the student miss the make-up hours it will be considered an absence.

6. Students missing any time after two (2) absences per course per semester
must, upon return to school, make a request to the Program Coordinator or the
Division Chair of Health Occupations, to discuss absences.

Procedure for Reporting an Absence or Tardy


When a student must be late or absent from the practicum, that individual must notify
the practicum area by telephone. If the assignment is in a hospital, the agency must be
notified as soon as possible.

When calling, the student should attempt to contact the person in charge, but if this
person is unavailable, speak to the next person in line of authority. The student should
then convey his/her message be relayed to the instructor when he/she arrives. The

90-100 points - A
80-89 points - B
70-79 points - C
60-69 points - D
< 60 points - F

Extra Credit –If you would like to earn a maximum of 5 extra points on your final grade,
you may take an optional final. This final will be given during the last week of school.
To convert your grade to points, your score is multiplied by 0.05 {ex. If you make 100,
(100x 0.05 is 5 points), 80 x .05 is 4 points}. This is the only extra credit that I offer.

Course Policies
Daily class attendance is critical for the successful completion of this course. The
student must initiate a request for withdrawal from the course. Failure to take the
exams may result in a grade of "F" in the course.

Cellular Phones, MP3’s, Computers and Pagers: All electronic devices must be
turned off or set to silent mode during class. Under no circumstances should an
electronic device sound during class. Electronic devices may be used in the class
setting for educational purposes and only with the permission of the instructor. There is
no instance in which any electronic device may be used for personal communication,
social networking or non-class related internet access during class. The instructor will
exercise his/her right to ask any student in violation of this policy to leave the classroom
setting for the rest of the period. Repeated violations may result in dismissal from the
course.

Texting, Social Networking: There is no instance in which reading a text message,


replying to a text message, accessing any form of social networking, or accessing the
internet for non-class related matters should be necessary during class. Instruct loved
ones and/or employers to call the Health Occupations office (903-782-0734) if there is
an emergency. Office personnel will contact the student or the instructor regarding the
emergency. Any situation involving texting, social networking or inappropriate internet
access in the classroom may be considered academic dishonesty. We do understand
that our society has come to expect that we all be available on a 24/7 basis; however,
the student needs to inform all concerned that time in class is devoted to the subject at
hand and the student will not be available to them during that time. Please understand
the definition of “emergency,” according to the American Heritage Dictionary, is “a
situation or occurrence of a serious nature, developing suddenly and unexpectedly, and
demanding immediate action.”

Disruptive Behavior: Although we encourage an open and friendly classroom


environment, it is necessary to remind students that they have been allowed to be in the
class to participate and learn about the topic assigned to that time period. If a student is
disruptive to the point of interfering with the learning of other students or fails to treat the
instructor and other members of the class with civility, the student may be asked to

leave the classroom area for the remainder of that class period. This may result in the
student being counted absent for that class. Repeated violations of this policy may
result in dismissal from the course. If the student chooses to leave the classroom for
any reason, you will not be allowed to return until after the break or the next class
period.

Course Policies
Daily class attendance is critical for the successful completion of this course. The
student must initiate a request for withdrawal from the course. Failure to take the
exams may result in a grade of "F" in the course.

Cellular Phones, MP3’s, Computers and Pagers: All electronic devices must be
turned off or set to silent mode during class. Under no circumstances should an
electronic device sound during class. Electronic devices may be used in the class
setting for educational purposes and only with the permission of the instructor. There is
no instance in which any electronic device may be used for personal communication,
social networking or non-class related internet access during class. The instructor will
exercise his/her right to ask any student in violation of this policy to leave the classroom

ones and/or employers to call the Health Occupations office (903-782-0734) if there is
an emergency. Office personnel will contact the student or the instructor regarding the
emergency. Any situation involving texting, social networking or inappropriate internet
access in the classroom may be considered academic dishonesty. We do understand
that our society has come to expect that we all be available on a 24/7 basis; however,
the student needs to inform all concerned that time in class is devoted to the subject at
hand and the student will not be available to them during that time. Please understand
the definition of “emergency,” according to the American Heritage Dictionary, is “a
situation or occurrence of a serious nature, developing suddenly and unexpectedly, and
demanding immediate action.”

Disruptive Behavior: Although we encourage an open and friendly classroom


environment, it is necessary to remind students that they have been allowed to be in the
class to participate and learn about the topic assigned to that time period. If a student is
disruptive to the point of interfering with the learning of other students or fails to treat the
instructor and other members of the class with civility, the student may be asked to

Course Requirements and Evaluation


In order for HPRS 2300 to be accepted by any of the Paris Junior College Health
Occupation Programs, the student must achieve a final average grade of 70 or higher.
The grades for this course are calculated on a point system and are based on 100
points. You will have an area under the icon titled My Grades that will show the current
number of points that you have earned. The final grade will consist of the following:
Seven Learning Modules (These are located on the CD that accompanied your
Textbook) which are 21 points of the final grade. The seven modules are averaged and
the resulting average is converted to points by multiplying this average by 0.21 for a
maximum of 21 points. Discussions are 5 points (there will be at least 3 discussion
assignments); Pharmacology Project counts as 15 points and three exams are 17 points
each for a total of 51 points of the final grade. Each chapter has a corresponding End of
Chapter Activity. At the end of the semester, these activities are averaged and the
resulting average is converted to points by multiplying the average by 0.08 points for a
maximum of 8 points. To review, your grade will consist of a maximum of 100 points.

In order to pass HPRS 2301, the student must achieve a final average grade of 70 or
higher. the final grade will consist of: 3 exams (averaged & proctored) 15%: 6
assignments 20%: 6 chapter reviews 65% (not proctored, open book) Chapter review
and assignments become active at 08:00 and inactive at 23:55 Assignments will consist
of quizzes /instructor assignments. All assignments are to be completed in Word. At the
end of the Semester the student will be provided an opportunity to “re-take” one of the 6
Chapter Reviews in an attempt to increase the student’s grade average. The student
will request the date and time that the student will be available, during the specified
time, to re-take the chapter review so the instructor will be able to re-open the
appropriate chapter review for the student. Any request after the specified time will not
be accepted. The Chapter Reviews/Exams are timed. The time starts when the Chapter
Review/Exam is opened by the student and runs continuously. Therefore, it is essential
that the student arrange for undisturbed time for the Chapter Review/Exam as any
questions answered after the time limit will not receive any credit. Chapter Reviews are

academic honest in this document.) The three Exams are mandatory and proctored at
one of the testing centers at Paris, Greenville, Sulphur Springs. It is the responsibility of
the student to make the appointments for the Exams during the hours of the appropriate
testing center. Exams are closed books and no papers, books, etc will be allowed in the
testing area. Failure to complete any of the three Exams will result in a failure for the
course regardless of the grades earned by the Assignments/Chapter Reviews. Ten
points will be deducted for all late work. I do not give the grade "I" Incomplete. If your
Assignments/Chapter Reviews/Exams are not completed on the last day of the course,
a grade of "0" will be awarded, the grades averaged and the grade submitted to the
business office. Up to the last day of Exam three, I will assist the student in any way I
am able. If you have any questions e-mail or call. Answers to the student workbook will
be found on the homepage.

25% of the student’s grade is associated with the daily grade based on student
participation and attendance. 35% of the student’s grade is based on either essay, short
answer, or scan-tron weekly tests averaged. 20% of the student’s grade is based on
completion of the 20 diamond evaluation and plotting laboratory projects requirement.
In order to receive a certificate in Gemology, each student must complete all projects and
tests to a final grade average of 2.0 for the semester; (this equates to a 70 minimum
score). The Gemology Certificate requires the minimum of 15 credit hours for
completion. To fulfill the additional hours needed, the student is required to take the
course titled *Applied Jewelry Practices or Business Ethics Class offered Friday
mornings.
Student Withdraw Policy
A grade of an “X” for incomplete course work may be given for lost time due to a
catastrophic incident and only if 75% of the course work is complete and a minimum of 7
diamond lab certificates are completed. An incomplete will be scheduled at the
convenience of the instructor and must be completed within a timely manner that follows
the pace of the gemology course. A faculty review committee must approve a waiver or
release for absences caused by catastrophic incidents. Students desiring to repeat the

Course Requirements and Evaluation


The Course format for the gemology course HRGY 1313.01 is primarily a lecture and
lab process. Lecture will be from the reading assigned to the student from the textbooks
for the course. There will be three essay tests from the lecture content given in class;
therefore note taking skills are detrimental for successful completion of the course.

Course Policies
Grading policies
25% of the student’s grade is associated with the daily grade based on student
participation and attendance. 35% of the student’s grade is based on either essay,

short answer, or scan-tron weekly tests averaged. 20% of the student’s grade is base
on the completion of the 450 colored gemstone identification laboratory projects
requirements. In order to receive a certificate in Gemology, each student must
complete all projects and tests to a final grade average of 2.0 for the semester; (this
equates to a 70 minimum score). The Gemology Certificate requires the minimum of 15
credit hours for completion. To fulfill the additional hours needed, the student is
required to take the course titled Applied Jewelry Practices or a Business Ethics Class.
Student Withdraw Policy
A grade of an “X” for incomplete course work may be given for missed class time due to
a catastrophic incident if 75% of the course work is complete and a minimum of 300
colored gemstone lab identifications have been completed. An incomplete will be
scheduled at the convenience of the instructor and must be completed within a timely
manner that follows the pace of the gemology course. A faculty review committee must
approve a waiver or release for absences caused by catastrophic incidents. Students
desiring to repeat the semester must repeat all projects and tests. No exceptions will be
considered.
Cell/Mobile phones or other communication devices must be deactivated (turned
completely off) during class. Texting is not tolerated during class time or in the
classroom.
Paris Junior College prohibits the use of any tobacco products (cigarettes and
smokeless tobacco) within any buildings on the PJC campuses. Cigarette smoking and

Course Policies

1. This is in no way intended to void, modify or circumvent any of the policies


and/or procedures contained in the Student Handbook and events calendar; but
rather, is intended to define and emphasize certain of these policies as they apply
to the Horology Division students.
2.
In order to achieve either a Certificate or an Associate Degree in Horology, a
student must have accumulated a 2.0 grade point average (GPA). A grade of at
least "C" is required for completion of all Horology courses. In order to receive
credit for a Horology course, the student must complete all projects listed in the
instructor's guide for that course. A grade of 70 or better is required to complete a
project and advance to the next project.
3.
A student may withdraw from a class with a "W" on or before November 18,
2010.
4.
Project grades are based on, first and foremost, the quality of workmanship;
secondly, when applicable, speed and quantity of work done.
5.
Absolutely no makeup tests will be given. Students who know that they will be
absent from school on the date of a test may request a prior test--not to interfere
with other class schedules.
6.
If you have a disability and / or may require some accommodation be sure to fill
out and submit the "Request for Accommodation" form (see Barbara Thomas). If
an accommodation is not requested in advance, we cannot guarantee the
availability of the accommodation on site.
7.
No semester finals will be given for any student unless all projects are completed.

II. Work Benches

1.
Bench tops will be clean at the end of each day. Remove all trash, lint and dust. Put all
tools in bench drawers or tool boxes at the end of each day. Watch movements or other
unfinished work may be left in the center of the bench pad, provided these movements
are covered and protected from dust and lint.

2.
Turn off each bench light when not in use.

3.
Each student is responsible for his/her bench and surrounding area. Do not keep books on
the floor.

4. Keeping the lab clean is a must for proper Watchmaking. There is no clean up crew
that takes care of the lab. The first 15 minutes of each Tuesday morning is devoted to
cleaning the entire lab and each student will be required to enthusiastically take part in
the clean up of the room in addition to their own daily work bench clean up.

III.
Personal Property and Accessories
1.

Tool boxes will be kept in the storage cabinet when not in use.
2.
Coats and hats shall be kept on the racks provided. Walk areas and isles between the
benches must be kept clear for other students and the instructor. Ones with purses should
keep these items in one of the larger bench drawers and out of sight. P.J.C. assumes no
responsibility for loss of personal items or tools.

IV. Safety Codes


1.
There are certain elementary precautions that MUST be observed at any time one is
working with sharp objects, machines or hot metals. Therefore, shorts, halters, open toed
shoes, sandals and sleeveless shirts are not permitted in classroom areas.
2.
Safety glasses, face shields and other special equipment shall be used in all designated
areas.
3.
Radios, tape recorders, CD players, cell phones and any other distracting or sound
producing or reproducing device may only be used at the instructor’s discretion.
4.
Students must pass a safety test before the start of each semester.
Students must be checked out on a piece of equipment before they use it.
V. Dress Code
In addition to proper dress for safety the following requirements must be observed. These
requirements are part of the overall Work Ethics

Instructor Approved ~ White Lab Coats ~ must be worn at all times. Students are
required to have Their Lab Coats laundered at least once a week or more often if they
become soiled. Dirty clothes and lab coats will not be allowed in the Lab. Lab coats are
to be hung in the coat rack using coat hangers. Lab coats are not to be laid over the back
of You’re chair or just tossed somewhere as You dash out the door. Do not wear your lab
coat outside of the lab. Students working on the lathe may elect to wear approved
jewelers aprons. Students without proper attire will be dismissed from class. This
dismissal will have a negative affect on the Students grade for Work Ethics.

No hats of any kind are to be worn in the Lab.

Students are expected to practice proper Personal Hygiene and exercise cleanliness in all
things while in the lab.
VI. Use of Tobacco

1. No smoking is allowed in any classroom area. Tobacco in any form is also not
allowed.
2. The use of Alcohol or Drugs while in the Lab is not only dangerous and disrespectful,
but also just plan stupid. If you must act like a fool then you will be treated as one.
Students found to be under the influence will be dismissed from class.
3. There will be no food or drink allowed in the lab at any time or for any reason. Do not
bring food or drink trash into the lab.

These rules are simple and have been kept to the minimum consistent with good work
habits and an acceptable state of cleanliness and safety within the work area. Neglect or
violations of these rules will be considered as evidence of either a lack of interest or
aptitude, and will be dealt with accordingly.

Nature of the Course

All of the Horology courses at Paris Junior College center on the study of watches and
the repair and service of watches. They are presented in a lab environment using lectures
and demonstrations followed up with practical projects performed by the student in the
lab.

project and advance to the next project.
3.
A student may withdraw from a class with a "W" on or before November 18,
2010.
4.
Project grades are based on, first and foremost, the quality of workmanship;
secondly, when applicable, speed and quantity of work done.
5.
Absolutely no makeup tests will be given. Students who know that they will be
absent from school on the date of a test may request a prior test--not to interfere
with other class schedules.
6.
If you have a disability and / or may require some accommodation be sure to fill
out and submit the "Request for Accommodation" form (see Barbara Thomas). If
an accommodation is not requested in advance, we cannot guarantee the

Course Requirements and Evaluation


16 Point Check System Given various wristwatches of different sizes and manufactures
the student will perform the necessary sequential steps to complete overhauls as if they
were being prepared for an actual paying customer. Attention to detail in the completion
of the watch movement, its time keeping, cleanliness, proper oiling, lubricating,
hairspring work and care of the crystal, case ,dial and hands are to be considered .
Scratches, damage and loss of parts will subtract from the overall project grade. A Job
work sheet is to be completed for each watch project. 10 watches are normally completed
by the average student , 16 by ‘ B‘ level students and more then 20 by ‘A’ level students.
Quality of workmanship and difficulty of the projects will be assessed as will the students
ability to work independently. Watches that are not repaired to industry standards will not
be accepted for grading. Replacements for broken or lost parts will not always be
available in the TIJT lab or in the industry, therefore care must be taken to insure that
components are not mishandled or misplaced. The complete 16 point check system is
detailed in a technical manual in the horology classroom. The steps are to be listed from
memory on the written final exam.

Course Schedule
Unit Time
Automatic Watches                            100  hrs.       Aug. 30 ‐ Sept. 23

Course Requirements and Evaluation


Given various automatic wristwatches of different sizes and manufactures the student will 
perform the necessary sequential steps to complete overhauls as if they were being prepared 
for an actual paying customer. The process will follow the same order as the 16 point check used 
in HRGY 2303. Attention to detail in the completion of the watch movement, its time keeping, 
cleanliness, proper oiling , lubricating, hairspring work and care of the crystal, case ,dial , hands 
and strap or band are to be considered . Scratches, damage and loss of parts will subtract from 
the overall project grade. A Job work sheet is to be completed for each watch project. 20‐25 
watches are normally completed by the average student , 25‐35 by ‘ B‘ level students and more 
then 35 by ‘A’ level students. Quality of workmanship and difficulty of the projects will be 
assessed as will the students ability to work independently. Watches that are not repaired to 
industry standards will not be accepted for grading. Replacements for broken or lost parts will 
not always be available in the TIJT lab or in the industry, therefore care must be taken to insure 
that components are not mishandled or misplaced. The complete 16 point check system is 
detailed in a technical manual in the horology classroom. Written test questions
a. Composite grade on all projects = 80%
b. Work Ethics = 10%
c. Composite grade on written final test = 10%
 

Course Policies

1. This is in no way intended to void, modify or circumvent any of the policies


and/or procedures contained in the Student Handbook and events calendar; but
rather, is intended to define and emphasize certain of these policies as they apply
to the Horology Division students.
2.
In order to achieve either a Certificate or an Associate Degree in Horology, a
student must have accumulated a 2.0 grade point average (GPA). A grade of at
least "C" is required for completion of all Horology courses. In order to receive
credit for a Horology course, the student must complete all projects listed in the
instructor's guide for that course. A grade of 70 or better is required to complete a
project and advance to the next project.
3.
A student may withdraw from a class with a "W" on or before November 18,
2010.
4.
Project grades are based on, first and foremost, the quality of workmanship;
secondly, when applicable, speed and quantity of work done.
5.
Absolutely no makeup tests will be given. Students who know that they will be
absent from school on the date of a test may request a prior test--not to interfere
with other class schedules.
6.
If you have a disability and / or may require some accommodation be sure to fill
out and submit the "Request for Accommodation" form (see Barbara Thomas). If
an accommodation is not requested in advance, we cannot guarantee the
availability of the accommodation on site.
7.
No semester finals will be given for any student unless all projects are completed.

II. Work Benches

1.
Bench tops will be clean at the end of each day. Remove all trash, lint and dust. Put all
tools in bench drawers or tool boxes at the end of each day. Watch movements or other
unfinished work may be left in the center of the bench pad, provided these movements
are covered and protected from dust and lint.

2.
Turn off each bench light when not in use.

3.
Each student is responsible for his/her bench and surrounding area. Do not keep books on
the floor.

4. Keeping the lab clean is a must for proper Watchmaking. There is no clean up crew
that takes care of the lab. The first 15 minutes of each Tuesday morning is devoted to
cleaning the entire lab and each student will be required to enthusiastically take part in
the clean up of the room in addition to their own daily work bench clean up.

III.
Personal Property and Accessories
1.

Tool boxes will be kept in the storage cabinet when not in use.
2.
Coats and hats shall be kept on the racks provided. Walk areas and isles between the
benches must be kept clear for other students and the instructor. Ones with purses should
keep these items in one of the larger bench drawers and out of sight. P.J.C. assumes no
responsibility for loss of personal items or tools.

IV. Safety Codes


1.
There are certain elementary precautions that MUST be observed at any time one is
working with sharp objects, machines or hot metals. Therefore, shorts, halters, open toed
shoes, sandals and sleeveless shirts are not permitted in classroom areas.
2.
Safety glasses, face shields and other special equipment shall be used in all designated
areas.
3.
Radios, tape recorders, CD players, cell phones and any other distracting or sound
producing or reproducing device may only be used at the instructor’s discretion.
4.
Students must pass a safety test before the start of each semester.
Students must be checked out on a piece of equipment before they use it.
V. Dress Code
In addition to proper dress for safety the following requirements must be observed. These
requirements are part of the overall Work Ethics

Instructor Approved ~ White Lab Coats ~ must be worn at all times. Students are
required to have Their Lab Coats laundered at least once a week or more often if they
become soiled. Dirty clothes and lab coats will not be allowed in the Lab. Lab coats are
to be hung in the coat rack using coat hangers. Lab coats are not to be laid over the back
of You’re chair or just tossed somewhere as You dash out the door. Do not wear your lab
coat outside of the lab. Students working on the lathe may elect to wear approved
jewelers aprons. Students without proper attire will be dismissed from class. This
dismissal will have a negative affect on the Students grade for Work Ethics.

No hats of any kind are to be worn in the Lab.

Students are expected to practice proper Personal Hygiene and exercise cleanliness in all
things while in the lab.
VI. Use of Tobacco

1. No smoking is allowed in any classroom area. Tobacco in any form is also not
allowed.
2. The use of Alcohol or Drugs while in the Lab is not only dangerous and disrespectful,
but also just plan stupid. If you must act like a fool then you will be treated as one.
Students found to be under the influence will be dismissed from class.
3. There will be no food or drink allowed in the lab at any time or for any reason. Do not
bring food or drink trash into the lab.

These rules are simple and have been kept to the minimum consistent with good work
habits and an acceptable state of cleanliness and safety within the work area. Neglect or
violations of these rules will be considered as evidence of either a lack of interest or
aptitude, and will be dealt with accordingly.

Nature of the Course

All of the Horology courses at Paris Junior College center on the study of watches and
the repair and service of watches. They are presented in a lab environment using lectures
and demonstrations followed up with practical projects performed by the student in the
lab.

books for the course. There will be three essay tests from the lecture content given in
class; therefore note taking skills are detrimental for successful completion of the
course.

Course Policies
Grading Policies
25% of the student’s grade is associated with the daily grade based on student
participation and attendance. 35% of the student’s grade is based on either essay,
short answer, or scan-tron weekly tests averaged. 20% of the student’s grade is based
on completion of the 450 colored gemstone identification laboratory projects
requirements.
In order to receive a certificate in Gemology, each student must complete all projects
and tests to a final grade average of 2.0 for the semester; (this equates to a 70
minimum score). The Gemology Certificate requires the minimum of 15 credit hours for
completion. To fulfill the additional hours needed, the student is required to take the
course titled Applied Jewelry Practices or Business Ethics Class offered Friday
mornings.

Project grades are based on, first and foremost, the quality of workmanship;
secondly, when applicable, speed and quantity of work done.
5.
Absolutely no makeup tests will be given. Students who know that they will be
absent from school on the date of a test may request a prior test--not to interfere
with other class schedules.
6.
If you have a disability and / or may require some accommodation be sure to fill
out and submit the "Request for Accommodation" form (see Barbara Thomas). If
an accommodation is not requested in advance, we cannot guarantee the
availability of the accommodation on site.
7.
No semester finals will be given for any student unless all projects are completed.

II. Work Benches


1.
Bench tops will be clean at the end of each day. Remove all trash, lint and dust. Put all
tools in bench drawers or tool boxes at the end of each day. Watch movements or other
unfinished work may be left in the center of the bench pad, provided these movements
are covered and protected from dust and lint.

2.
Turn off each bench light when not in use.

3.
Each student is responsible for his/her bench and surrounding area. Do not keep books on
the floor.

4. Keeping the lab clean is a must for proper Watchmaking. There is no clean up crew
that takes care of the lab. The first 15 minutes of each Tuesday morning is devoted to
cleaning the entire lab and each student will be required to enthusiastically take part in
the clean up of the room in addition to their own daily work bench clean up.

III.
Personal Property and Accessories
1.

Tool boxes will be kept in the storage cabinet when not in use.
2.
Coats and hats shall be kept on the racks provided. Walk areas and isles between the
benches must be kept clear for other students and the instructor. Ones with purses should
keep these items in one of the larger bench drawers and out of sight. P.J.C. assumes no
responsibility for loss of personal items or tools.

IV. Safety Codes


1.
There are certain elementary precautions that MUST be observed at any time one is
working with sharp objects, machines or hot metals. Therefore, shorts, halters, open toed
shoes, sandals and sleeveless shirts are not permitted in classroom areas.
2.
Safety glasses, face shields and other special equipment shall be used in all designated
areas.
3.
Radios, tape recorders, CD players, cell phones and any other distracting or sound
producing or reproducing device may only be used at the instructor’s discretion.
4.
Students must pass a safety test before the start of each semester.
Students must be checked out on a piece of equipment before they use it.
V. Dress Code
In addition to proper dress for safety the following requirements must be observed. These
requirements are part of the overall Work Ethics
Instructor Approved ~ White Lab Coats ~ must be worn at all times. Students are
required to have Their Lab Coats laundered at least once a week or more often if they
become soiled. Dirty clothes and lab coats will not be allowed in the Lab. Lab coats are
to be hung in the coat rack using coat hangers. Lab coats are not to be laid over the back
of You’re chair or just tossed somewhere as You dash out the door. Do not wear your lab
coat outside of the lab. Students working on the lathe may elect to wear approved
jewelers aprons. Students without proper attire will be dismissed from class. This
dismissal will have a negative affect on the Students grade for Work Ethics.

No hats of any kind are to be worn in the Lab.

Students are expected to practice proper Personal Hygiene and exercise cleanliness in all
things while in the lab.
VI. Use of Tobacco

1. No smoking is allowed in any classroom area. Tobacco in any form is also not
allowed.
2. The use of Alcohol or Drugs while in the Lab is not only dangerous and disrespectful,
but also just plan stupid. If you must act like a fool then you will be treated as one.
Students found to be under the influence will be dismissed from class.
3. There will be no food or drink allowed in the lab at any time or for any reason. Do not
bring food or drink trash into the lab.

These rules are simple and have been kept to the minimum consistent with good work
habits and an acceptable state of cleanliness and safety within the work area. Neglect or
violations of these rules will be considered as evidence of either a lack of interest or
aptitude, and will be dealt with accordingly.

Nature of the Course

As an online course, students are expected to work independently. Students will read
assigned sections of the textbook, complete online assignments and quizzes as well as
required writing assignments. Students will be required to go to a college campus or
testing site to complete two of the four required exams. Online Quizzes will cover
terminology and topics covered within the assigned reading. Discussion will be posted
by the instructor or brought up in the weekly chat session. Research topic will be a two-
page extended definition of a topic in human resource management to be assigned.
Tests will cover the chapters stated. The final exam will count as one of these four tests
and will not be comprehensive. The semester grade will be based on the following
assignments and points:
350 points reading quizzes and daily homework
50 points for 2 article abstracts
100 points for research essay
100 points for book review
300 points for (3) tests
100 points for the final exam test
1000 points total

900-1000 = A, 800 – 899 = B, 700 – 799 = C, 650-699 = D, below 650 = F

Course Policies
Attendance/Withdrawal: This online course uses a computer and the internet to deliver
lessons and for interaction between the instructor and the student. To be successful, the
student must access the course material on a regular basis as assignments will be due
weekly. It is important that students not get behind in completing the assignments. A
student risks non-attendance issues when he/she has not signed into WebCt or
completed assignments for more than 2 weeks. A student may withdraw from this
course at any time during the semester through the last date to withdraw, Nov 18, 2010.
All withdrawals must be initiated by the student, as I will not drop you for failure to
participate or complete assignments.
Academic Honesty: In the pursuit of learning, it is expected that students will engage
in honest academic endeavor to the highest degree of honor and integrity. By
registering and taking this course, the officially enrolled student declares that he/she will
be the author of ALL work submitted for the course. Allowing another individual to
complete assignments constitutes fraud and academic dishonesty. Should such

HRPO 2301-Diann V. Mason, SPHR Page 3 of 4


 
behavior come to the attention of the instructor, the instructor will discuss the situation
with the student and discipline, up to and including a course grade of “F,” will be
determined.
Late Work Policy: Students are expected to complete assignments by the published
deadlines. If you miss an assignment because of an emergency, you must contact me
as soon as possible. Any late work accepted must be completed within one week of the
due date. Late work will not be accepted unless prior approval has been granted.
Approval will not be granted for work that is more than 2 weeks late. A minimum of 10
points will be deducted for late work.
Testing: Test 2 and 4 (the final exam) of the four major tests will be given at testing
center either at Paris Junior College or one of the off-campus centers. You must travel
to the testing site and present a valid photo ID to access the test. If you will be unable to
travel to a testing site, contact me as soon as possible, but no later than Sept 14. The
PJC Testing Center hours are posted on the main PJC website (www.parisjc.edu) under
the "Informative" tab on the left or see the website for the nearest off-campus center
(Greenville or Sulphur Springs).

Course Requirements and Evaluation

Students will complete section activities, Skills Reviews, Skill Assessments, and Marquee Challenges as
assigned in the assignment schedule. Four Quizzes over each software (PowerPoint only has two) should
be completed in webct as scheduled. The Final Production Exam over all four softwares will be taken
during the final exam week or before and will be taken at the Paris Campus or at one of the off-campus
centers. I will give you your final exam scheduled at a convenient time for both of us. The final exam
must be completed by Thursday, December 16 in the morning at Sulphur Springs, Thursday,
December 16 in the afternoon in Greenville, or Monday or Tuesday in Paris, December 13 or 14.
since grades have to be turned in by Thursday afternoon.

I will have virtual office hours through the chat icon Monday-Wednesday night from 7:00-8:00 PM.

No late assignments will be accepted past the due date, if it’s not here before midnight on the date
due it’s a ZERO

ITSC 1409.66-Roy Edmonson Page 6 of 8


 
The student’s final grade will be calculated as follows:

Average of software Quizzes as assigned in WebCT 10%

Average of Skills Reviews, Skills Assessments, and Marquee Challenges at the 60%
end of each software section in your textbook sent as attachments to the
instructor.

Final Production Exam (taken at a PJC testing site) 30%

TOTAL 100%

You will submit your assignments through the submit assignments drop box. If you are sending me
an attachment, you will follow the same steps, but under the message box is a Browse box. When you
click on it, your computer drives will appear where you will choose the drive where you have saved your
documents. When you find the document you want to send me, just double click or click and open the
document. The name of the document will appear in the box next to the word Attachments. Be sure and
click on the box that says Attach file. If you do it correctly, the name of the document will appear under
the Attachments box in purple or blue. Then you can click on the submit button and I will get your
assignment with the document attached to it.

You will be saving your documents on your C drive or jump drive and you will submit them through the
submit assignments box on the class homepage by midnight on the date due. Failure to do so will result
in a zero for that assignment. Each mistake will be worth one (1) point each with a maximum grade of
100.

The Quiz/Tests icon takes you to the Quizzes (4) on each software (except PowerPoint there are only
two). The average of these Quizzes counts as 10% of your grade.

When you are ready to take the exam, you will click on the exam you are ready to take and a screen
will appear with all of your questions listed. Each time you answer a question, you will click the save
button in that box.

After you have answered all the questions, there will be a submit box at the end of the exam. When you
click on submit, it may tell you that you have not answered some questions and do you want to go back
and answer them before you submit. If necessary, go back and do that and submit again. It will give you
another chance and ask you if you are sure you want to submit. If you are ready, submit your exam. It
will be graded immediately and you should be able to see the results of your exam. If the results are not
there immediately, they will be displayed soon. You will have two chances to take each exam and two
hours for each one. There will be 25 questions on each exam. These count as 10% of your grade.

Course Requirements and Evaluation


There are three proctored (taken at testing center) exams and one comprehensive,
proctored final exam. Each of the regular exams will cover four chapters of material
from the text. The comprehensive final will be over all twelve chapters of the text. The
exams are closed book and closed notes. To prepare for them, read and work through
the projects contained in each chapter and be sure that you know each of the key terms
located at the end of the chapter, and complete the matching and fill in the blank
questions at the end of each chapter. Although you do not have to turn in any of this
work, failure to complete this preparation work will result in a low grade on the exams.
Each of the exams (including the final) is 7% of your semester grade. This means that
proctored exams will total 28% of your end of semester grade.

The remaining 72% of your grade will come from:

“Mastering Excel” Projects at the end of each chapter. There is one project for each
chapter. You will find these projects under the assignments tab in WebCT. Each project
is 3% of your end of semester grade.

“Problem Solving” Projects at the end of each chapter. There is one project for each
chapter. You will find these projects under the assignments tab in WebCT. Each
project is 3% of your end of semester grade.

You are required to take the final. Although it shows as only 7% of your grade under
“Method of Evaluation,” students who fail to take the final will receive a final course
grade of F. This is PJC policy.

Course Requirements and Evaluation


Determination of Course Grade:
Module exams grades will be averaged to equal ¾ of the ongoing average grade.
Homework and quizzes will equal ¼ of average grade. The comprehensive final
examination will count as a module exam. Any malpractices demonstrated during
clinical / internship will result in a failure of this course. A passing evaluation in the skills
component of the course is required for a passing grade. A failure in skills will result in
failure of the course – 2 attempts are provided. Any special work must be turned in
on time. One point per day will be subtracted from module exam average for each late
paper.

An overall grade average of at least 80% must be maintained in the class at all times.
Any test grade below 70% is considered a failing grade. The student will then get one
retest on which a grade of 70% or higher must be achieved. If the student fails a retest
then the student will not be released for the state exam and will not be allowed to
complete the clinical internship. You will be allowed to stay in the classroom portion of
the program for college credit if you wish.

Classroom reasons for not being released for the National Registry exam are listed
below:
1. Overall grade average falling below 80%
2. Repeated failure of skills

Grade Range
“A” 90 – 100
“B” 80 –89
“C” 70-79
“D” 60-69
“F” Below 60

Course Policies
Unsatisfactory Progress In A Course
Students who have unsatisfactory classroom performance will be given written
notification and a plan for remediation will be completed.

Clinical performance needing improvement or clinical performance that is unsatisfactory


will be specified in the documentation. If the student does not show improvement, the
probation status will be implemented. A student may be placed on probation at the
faculty team's decision without preliminary remediation.

Probationary Status:
Probationary criteria will be written in the form of behavioral objectives and recorded
Probationary Status". A time frame for review of status will be specified. The terms of
probation will be discussed with the student and validated by the signatures of the
course instructors and the student. At the end of the specified term of probation, the
student's status is reviewed by the course faculty. This review will be recorded. If the
probation criteria has been met, the student's probation is lifted. Failure to meet
probationary criteria will result in further disciplinary action up to and including failure
from the program. Probation will be contained within the course.

Withdrawal
A student may withdraw from an EMS course by using the procedure outlined in the
Paris Junior College catalog following counsel with his/her instructors and/or the
Director of the EMS Program. After withdrawing from an EMS course, a student must
reapply for admission to the EMS Program in order to enroll in any subsequent EMS
course.

The student must initiate the withdrawal procedure with the team leader prior to the
withdrawal date or a grade of "F" will be recorded for the total semester hours of the
dropped EMS course.

Dismissal
Any student may be dismissed from the program without a probationary period if the
student shows gross negligence, unsafe practices, lack of personal integrity, breach of
patient confidentiality, or commits a criminal or immoral act. Dismissal from the program
will be decided by the faculty, Director of Health Occupations and the Dean of Workforce
Education.

Personal integrity as well as concern for the welfare of patients entrusted to our care are
personal attributes that are absolutely essential for those entering the EMS profession.
Actions taken and attitudes expressed while in the student role are considered
indicative of behaviors to be expected of the graduate. The student will be given the
opportunity to discuss the incident(s) with the course team faculty.

Grounds For Immediate Dismissal From Program


A student may be subject to immediate dismissal from the EMS program, and failure of
the course in the following situations.
a. Failure to maintain client safety resulting in injury to the patient.
b. A medication error which results in injury to the patient.
c. The practice of academic dishonesty; such as, preparation for clinical and cheating on tests
or written assignments (both parties), making false entries in records pertaining to the
giving of medications, treatments, or nursing care, or failing to do so under circumstances
that indicate a disregard for patient safety or welfare.
d. The use of alcohol, illegal drugs, or misuse of prescription or any other drugs, during school
activities or on school property; or reporting to class/clinical under the influence of alcohol or
illegal drugs.
e. Appropriating, in connection with the practice of EMS, medication, supplies, equipment, or
personal items of the patient, employer, or any other person or entity. (This includes
accepting remuneration, gifts, etc.)

Procedure for Dismissal


STEP 1. Dismissal from the program will be initiated by the faculty team with prior
notification of the Director of Health Occupations. If the director is absent, the
Dean of Workforce Education must be notified prior to dismissal.
STEP 2. The team leader and instructor will meet with the student to inform him/her that
they are initiating the procedure. If the team leader is the instructor, another
faculty member will be present.
STEP 3. If the student wishes to contest this decision, he/she must file a Report of
Grievance with the team leader or Director of Health Occupation.

Grievance Procedure
Problems of an individual or of a personal nature should be handled in the following
ways: A student may formally express dissatisfaction with his/her progress in the EMS
Program. Grade disputes should be resolved at the lowest level possible (i.e., the
instructor and student). Recognizing that this is not always possible, the following
procedure has been adopted as policy for resolving grade and course progress
disputes. The steps have been defined to facilitate resolution at the lowest level and in
that interest; the order of steps will at no time be violated. The grievance procedure
must be initiated within two (2) working days of the incident by which time the student
must initiate a "Report of Grievance" with the team leader or Director of Health
Occupations if the team leader is not available..
STEP 1. The student should request an appointment to discuss the case with the faculty
and the team leader of the course. If a satisfactory decision still has not been

reached, the student may request to meet with the Director of the program.
STEP 2. If resolution of the grievance has not been reached under the guidance of the
Director, the student may request an appointment with representative
members of the faculty-as-a-whole. (The definition of faculty-as-a-whole: a
representative group of the EMS and a neutral party. After presentation of the
facts to the faculty-as-a-whole, the faculty vote will be taken by ballot and
tallied by the Director of the program and the neutral party. Failure will require
a two-thirds majority vote. The conference will be recorded on tape and on a
Grievance Conference Report form, a copy of which goes to the student and
the original placed in the Confidential File.
STEP 3. If resolution of the grievance has not been reached under the guidance of the
Director, the student may request an appointment with the Dean of Workforce
Education to present his/her case.
At any time during the grievance procedure should the student desire an attorney
present, he/she must notify the Director of the program at least 24 hours before a
scheduled meeting.

Attendance/Tardy Policy
Attendance is of significant importance in the Emergency Medical Technician program in
order to meet the objectives necessary for successful completion of the course. Absences
must be for emergencies only and must not exceed the maximum hours designated at the
beginning of the semester. The instructor or clinical agency must be notified prior to the
absence, or as soon as possible in accident situations. Any assignments missed because
of an absence or tardy is due on the assignments due date regardless of the absence. It is
the student’s responsibility to contact the instructor and make arrangements to receive the
assignments and complete them on the due date. Students who fail to take responsibility
for their assignments will receive a 0. This policy applies to major exams, quizzes and
home work. Any exceptions to this will be handled on a case by case basis. Absences and
tardiness without notification demonstrate lack of responsibility and may result in dismissal
or other disciplinary action.

Clinical And Field Internship


The purpose of the clinical and field internship is to provide the student with a progression
of increasing patient care responsibilities in order to proceed from observational
experience to working as a member of a team.

Students are expected to demonstrate achievement of all critical clinical objectives in the
hospital clinical area and field internship under direct supervision of a preceptor. Failure to
achieve all objectives will be handled on an individual basis but may result in failure of the
course. Specific written objectives will be required for each experience. Attire or uniforms
appropriate for the various agencies will be specified.

In all agency experiences, students should keep in mind that they are there for specific
learning experiences and are guests of the various agencies. Any behavior other than
complete professionalism may result in dismissal from the program. They are acting in the

conduct themselves accordingly. If problems arise in the agencies, the instructor should be
notified immediately.

Scheduling Of Clinical Rotations


The clinical rotation sheets will be available for sign up in class. A copy of the rotation
sheet will be sent to the designated clinical site and the coordinator will retain the
original. All assignments will be made before the student reports to the clinical site.

Rules And Regulations At The Clinical Site


The student will be assigned to a preceptor by the charge nurse or other designated
person at the clinical site. Upon arrival at the clinical site, the student should report
directly to the person in charge. While at the clinical site the student shall always have
the following on their person; BCLS card, current level EMS certification card, and valid
driver’s license. The student shall wear his/her name badge for identification and
indicate the level of training to the person in charge. During the EMS rotation, students
must remain with the preceptors. Wandering off to other areas of the site or leaving for
lunch is not permissible. Once you are at the site, you are expected to stay at the site
until your shift is complete. Students can only perform skills in which they are checked
off on or certified to do while at the clinical site. Students are not allowed to go on out of
town, hospital to hospital transfers unless the paramedic attending the patient needs
assistance during transport. Shift supervisors must give expressed permission for
students to go on out of town transfers. While at the EMS internship rotation, the
student is expected to make every call that his/her preceptor makes unless given
permission by the preceptor. If you miss more than two calls during the course you
may be dismissed from the class. If you miss a call, remain at the EMS station until the
crew gets back. Following the ambulance in your personal vehicle is a violation of the
law and of PJC policies and procedures and punishable as such. While on the
ambulance, students will ride in the patient compartment at all times unless special
circumstances exist at which time the preceptor will decide where the student should
ride.

Documentation Of Records
It is the responsibility of the student to bring the appropriate forms to the clinical site.
Before the student leaves the clinical site for that particular rotation, all documentation is
to be completed. The preceptor will not verify and sign off any documentation after the
student has left the clinical site for that rotation. Absolutely no clinical forms will be
signed for any rotation except the rotation just completed. Students attempting to have
clinical sheets signed at any other time will be reported to the EMS Coordinator.
Attempting to falsify a clinical rotation will result in immediate dismissal from the course.

Dress Code
Dress in the classroom and skills lab should be comfortable; however, shorts or revealing
garments should not be worn. This is a distraction in the learning environment. EMTs and
Paramedics do not wear short shorts and low cut shirts while on duty. You will be
performing the same skills in the classroom as you do in the streets. Appearance of the
student in the clinical and field internship setting is of the utmost importance. Listed below

C:\Users\ElaPit\Documents\Syllabi for 101s\Word to convert to PDF\MDCA1309 01 101S.doc 
are partial guidelines to be followed:
1. Cleanliness and neat personal appearance are essential to the EMT.
2. Hair should be neat, clean, and worn in a conservative style that doesn't hang in the
face. Conservative combs and barrettes are acceptable. Men should be clean-
shaven with a neatly clipped established mustache and/or beard will be allowed.
3. Fingernails should be clean and short.
4. A watch with a second hand should be worn. Novelty watches are not appropriate.
5. Use of perfumes, colognes, or scented lotions should be avoided.
6. Purses and other valuable items should not be brought into the hospital or clinical
setting.
7. Students may smoke in designated smoking areas. There should be no smoking in
patient care areas or in the EMT classroom. If a student smokes, he/she should not
have an odor offensive to patients or classmates.
8. Jewelry in moderation; Absolutely no piercing jewelry in any part of the exposed
body including the ears. (Example Nose rings, eye rings or tongue rings)
9. No alcohol consumption or controlled/non-controlled substance abuse tolerated.
10. A name badge will be issued to each student to wear during clinical rotations. If you
lose this name badge, it must be replaced before doing any more clinical. A student
without a name badge will be sent home from clinical. The cost of replacing the name
badge is $5.
11. The clinical uniform shall only be worn during times directly connected to clinical or
classroom. Wearing the clinical uniform at any other time without expressed
permission of the instructor is a violation of the EMS program policies and
procedures and may result in disciplinary action including immediate dismissal
from the course.
Clinical Uniform: White shirt, navy or black pants (EMS pants are
acceptable…denim is NOT!); black belt and shoes; white uniform shirt purchased
in bookstore; student nametag; stethoscope; pen light; scissors; any deviation
from clinical uniform is unacceptable.
12. Deviations from dress code are unacceptable.

HEALTH POLICIES
Since good health is essential for the EMT, the following policies have been adopted:
1. A release from the student's physician will be required after hospitalization, any
surgical procedure or any conditions that will affect clinical practice.
2. A student is expected to report any condition that will affect his clinical practice. A
student will demonstrate good judgment by not reporting to the clinical setting while
experiencing overt signs and symptoms of an infectious process that would
endanger patient's well being.
3. Students who, in the opinion of the EMT coordinator and/or instructor, are showing
symptoms of physical or emotional illness may be required to have an appropriate
examination from a physician with a report submitted to the Coordinator.
4. Students diagnosed with a communicable disease must notify the coordinator.

Liability Insurance
In addition to regular tuition and fees, students will be assessed a fee for liability insurance

to cover them as EMS students. This insurance is mandatory.

Personal Illness Or Injury


Paris Junior College will not assume the responsibility for any illness or injury of a student
while engaged in any activity of any aspect of the Emergency Medical Technician
Program. Any medical expenses incurred during the EMS program will be the
responsibility of the student. The instructors reserve the right to seek medical help for any
student if they feel it is necessary. It is recommended the student carry personal medical
insurance. Hunt County Regional EMS requires all students to carry personal medical
insurance in order to ride as a student with their services. All students riding with Hunt
County Regional EMS are required to show proof of medical coverage.

Overall Grade
Quizzes may be given at any time at the discretion of the faculty. The EMT course is
composed of three distinct sections: lecture, skills lab, and clinical rotations. The final
grade in this course will be a composite of these elements. None of these components is
expendable, therefore, all must be completed satisfactorily prior to challenging the state
certification exam. Each element has its own set of unique performance standards. A
composite score of less than 80% or a failure of any subdivision is considered to be a
failure of the course.

Course Requirements and Evaluation


In order to pass MDCA 1309, the student must achieve a final average grade of 70 or
higher. The final grade average will consist of: 3 Exams (averaged, proctored &
mandatory) 15%: 6 Assignments 20%: 6 Chapter Reviews 65% (not proctored, open
book), Chapter review and assignments become active at 08:00 and inactive at 23:55
Course work will consist of Chapter Reviews, Assignments, and Exams. Assignments
will consist of instructor assignments posted on WebCT. All assignments are to be
completed in Word. At the end of the semester, the student will be provided an
opportunity to “re-take” one of the 6 Chapter Reviews in an attempt to increase the
student’s grade average. The student will request the date and time, during the
specified time frame, that the student will be available to re-take the Chapter Review so
the instructor will be able to re-open the appropriate Chapter Review for the student.
Any request after 9:00 p.m. the last specified date, will not be accepted. The Chapter
Reviews are 50 questions (True/False, Fill in the Blank, Multiple Choice) with a time
limit of 90 minutes and are open book tests. The time starts when you open the Chapter
Review and the time runs continuous. Therefore it behooves you to schedule this time
so as not to be disturbed. You cannot stop the clock during the Chapter Review to get a
drink of water or take a telephone call. The Chapter Reviews are equal to "Tests" and
are to be the individual work of each student. (Please refer to academic honesty on
Page 3 of this document.) Any questions answered after the time limit on the Chapter
Reviews will not be awarded any points. The 3 Exams are proctored Exams at one of
the testing centers at Paris Junior College (If you are a Virtual College of Texas student
and/or live out of the area, special arrangements will be made for your Exams.) These
include Paris, Sulphur Springs, and Greenville. It is the responsibility of the student to
make the appointments for the Exams during the hours of the appropriate testing
center. Exams are closed books and no papers, books, etc will be allowed in the testing
area. Exams are mandatory and will automatically result in a failure for the course if not

completed regardless of the grade earned from the Assignments and Chapter Reviews.
Ten points (10) will be deducted for all late work. I do not give the grade of "I"
incomplete. If the students Assignments and/or Chapter Reviews are not completed on
the last day of the course, a grade of "0" zero will be awarded, the grades averaged and
the grade submitted to the business office. Up to the last day of the final, I will assist in
any way I can. If you have any questions e-mail or call me and I'll be glad to assist.

Course Requirements and Evaluation

Prior to each class meeting, students should read the assigned chapter and complete the assigned homework. 
 
Homework will be assigned after each class meeting.  That homework may be discussed during the following class 
meeting or taken up for a grade.  Quizzes over assigned reading and homework problems may also be given during 
class.    
 
A Comprehensive Case Problem will be assigned for completion during the final three weeks of the semester.   
This case will serve as the final exam for the course.  Failure to submit the final exam (case problem) will result in a 
grade of F in the course.  The final exam (case problem) must be submitted by Tuesday, December 14, 2010.  
ABSOLUTELY NO EXCEPTIONS! 
 
Students must attend classes regularly and arrive promptly.  During class, students should be polite and  
attentive to those talking. 
 
Grades of A, B, C, D, and F will be determined by the student’s achievement of a certain percentage of possible  
points based on (1) exams, (2) homework and quizzes, and (3) final exam.  The average of the four unit exams,  
 

POFT 1321.01 – Jan Jordan Page 3 of 5


along with related homework and quizzes, will determine 80% of the total grade for this course.  The final exam  
will count as 20%. 

For example, if the following grades are made throughout the semester: 

(1)  Exam 1—90  
        Exam 2—88  
        Exam 3—87  
  Exam 4—95  
                       360 / 4 =  90 avg X 80% = 72 pts out of a possible 80 pts from exams 

      Final Exam—90 X 20% = 18 points out of a possible 20 points 

72 points from exams + 18 points from the final exam = 90, which is an A based on the following 10‐point Grading 
Scale:           89.5%‐100% = A 
          79.5%‐89.4% = B 
          69.5%‐79.4% = C

REGISTRATION AND PROGRESSION


Students majoring in the Radiology Technology Program will enroll in the same manner
as other Paris Junior College students. The Division Chair of the program or his/her
academic advisor will assist the student as needed in scheduling courses.

Radiology Technology courses must follow the sequence as given in the college
catalog.

Each student will have a Radiology Technology degree plan prepared in consultation
with his/her academic advisor or the Division Chair/or Program Coordinator of

Course # (RADR 2235) – Karen Powers Page 4 of 19


C:\Users\ElaPit\Documents\Syllabi for 101s\Word to convert to PDF\RADR2235 01 101S.doc 
Radiology Technology Program. It is the responsibility of each student to see that
he/she progresses through his/her degree plan as outlined, or arrange appropriate
deviation from this plan with the Division Chair/or Program Coordinator of Radiology
Technology Program.

In order to continue and progress in the Radiology Technology Program the student's
work must remain satisfactory in the following areas:
1. Maintain a 2.0 average in total course work.
2. Completion of required academic courses.
3. Maintain 2.0 or better grades in each of the Radiology Technology Program
courses.
4. Evidence of satisfactory clinical performance at the end of each semester based
on the criteria for the semester.

Withdrawal, Probation, and Dismissal Policies


Withdrawal
A student may withdraw from a Radiology Technology course by using the procedure
outlined in the Paris Junior College Catalog following counsel with his/her instructors
and/or the Division Chair/or Program Coordinator of the Radiology Technology
Program. After withdrawing from a Radiology Technology course, a student must
reapply for admission to the Radiology Technology Program in order to enroll in any
subsequent Radiology Technology course.
The student must initiate the withdrawal procedure with the instructor prior to the
withdrawal date or a grade of "F" will be recorded for the total semester hours of the
dropped Radiology Technology course.

Unsatisfactory Progress In A Course


Contract for Improvement
Students who have unsatisfactory classroom/clinical performance will have a student
conference scheduled, be given written notification and a plan for improvement will be
completed. If the student does not show improvement, the probation status will be
implemented.

Clinical performance needing improvement or clinical performance that is unsatisfactory


will be specified in the documentation. If the student does not show improvement, the
probation status will be implemented. A student may be placed on probation at the
faculty team's decision without preliminary remediation.

Probationary Status:
Probationary criteria will be written in the form of behavioral/clinical objectives and
recorded in the document entitled "Report of Unsatisfactory Progress/Probation Form".
A time frame for review of status will be specified. The terms of probation will be
discussed with the student and validated by the signatures of the course instructor and
the student.

At the end of the specified term of probation, the student's status is reviewed by the

Course # (RADR 2235) – Karen Powers Page 5 of 19


C:\Users\ElaPit\Documents\Syllabi for 101s\Word to convert to PDF\RADR2235 01 101S.doc 
program faculty. This review will be recorded on the document entitled, "Report of
Status Review". If the probation criteria has been met, the student's probation is lifted.
Failure to meet probationary criteria may result in failure of the course at the faculty
team’s decision. Probation will be contained within each course.

Dismissal
Any student may be dismissed from the program without a probationary period if the
student shows gross negligence, unsafe care, lack of personal or professional integrity,
breach of patient confidentiality, or commits a criminal act.

"Unsafe care" is defined as any act of omission or commission which places the
client(s) in jeopardy of negative changes in health status.

Personal integrity as well as concern for the welfare of patients are personal attributes
that are absolutely essential for those entering the Radiology Technology profession.
Actions taken and attitudes expressed while in the student role are considered
indicative of behaviors to be expected of the graduate. The student will be given the
opportunity to discuss the incident(s) with the course team faculty.

Grounds for Immediate Dismissal From Program


A student may be subject to immediate dismissal from the Radiology Technology
Program and failure of the course in the following situations:

a. Failure to maintain patient safety resulting in injury to the patient.


b. A medication error which results in injury to the patient.
c. The practice of academic dishonesty such as cheating on preparation for clinical,
and on tests or written assignments (both parties), making false entries in a record.
d. The use of alcohol, illegal drugs, or misuse of prescription or any other drugs during
school activities or on school property, or reporting to class/clinical under the
influence of alcohol or illegal drugs.
e. Appropriating, in connection with the practice of Radiology Technology, medication,
supplies, equipment, or personal items of the patient/client, employer, or any other
person or entity. (This includes accepting remuneration, gifts, etc.)

Procedure for Dismissal


STEP 1. Dismissal from the program will be initiated by the faculty and program
coordinator with prior notification of the Division Chair of Health Occupations. If
the Division Chair is absent, the Vice President of Workforce Education must
be notified prior to dismissal.

STEP 2. The program coordinator and instructor will meet with the student to inform
him/her that they are initiating the procedure. If the program coordinator is the
instructor, another faculty member will be present.

STEP 3. If the student wishes to contest this decision, he/she must file a Request of
Grievance Conference with the Program Coordinator. (Appendix XVI).

Course # (RADR 2235) – Karen Powers Page 6 of 19


C:\Users\ElaPit\Documents\Syllabi for 101s\Word to convert to PDF\RADR2235 01 101S.doc 
Grievance Procedure
Problems of an individual or of a personal nature should be handled in the following
ways: A student may formally express dissatisfaction with his/her progress in the
Radiology Technology Program. Grade disputes should be resolved at the lowest level
possible (i.e., the instructor and student). Recognizing that this is not always possible,
the following procedure has been adopted as policy for resolving grade and course
progress disputes. The steps have been defined to facilitate resolution at the lowest
level and in that interest; the order of steps will at no time be violated. The grievance
procedure must be initiated within two (2) working days of the incident by which time the
student must initiate a "Request of Grievance Conference" with the program coordinator
or Division Chair of Health Occupations if the team leader is not available.

STEP 1. The student should request an appointment to discuss the case with the
faculty and the program coordinator. If a satisfactory decision still has not been
reached, the student may request to meet with the Division Chair of the Health
Occupations within five (5) working days.
STEP 2. If resolution of the grievance has not been reached under the guidance of the
Division Chair within five (5) working days, the student may request an
appointment with representative members of the faculty-as-a-whole within five
(5) working days. The faculty vote will be taken by ballot and tallied by the
Division Chair and a PJC non-Radiology Technology faculty/staff member.
Failure will require a two-thirds majority vote of the faculty. The conference will
be recorded on tape and on a Grievance Conference Report form, a copy of
which goes to the student and the original placed in the Confidential File.
STEP 3. If resolution of the grievance has not been reached under the guidance of the
Division Chair within five (5) working days, the student may request an
appointment within five (5) working days with the Vice President of Workforce
Education to present his/her case.

Access to Confidential File


The CONFIDENTIAL FILE will be kept in the office of the Division Chair of Health
Occupations. Access to the file will be controlled by the Division Chair and limited to the
course faculty directly involved in the particular grievance, and the Vice President of
Workforce Education.

The procedures in this policy have been set up to assure confidentiality and a full
hearing of the student's position.

Attendance Policies
Radiology Technology students will follow the absence and tardy policies of Paris Junior
College as discussed in the school catalog, with the following modifications because of
the nature of Radiology Technology:

1. During inclement weather on clinical/classroom days, the student must make


his/her own decision regarding safety for travel to school. A student who decides

Course # (RADR 2235) – Karen Powers Page 7 of 19


C:\Users\ElaPit\Documents\Syllabi for 101s\Word to convert to PDF\RADR2235 01 101S.doc 
not to attend clinical/class because of inclement weather will receive an absence
unless official notification by the college has been made that classes are closed.
2. Any student arriving at the clinical area later than 30 minutes will be given an
absence. Students arriving 30 minutes or less at the clinical area will receive a
tardy. Students missing 60 minutes or less of classroom during a given day will
receive a tardy. Students missing more than 60 minutes will be given an
absence. A tardy or absence such as arriving late or leaving early may occur at
any point during the day. Students may miss up to 60 minutes of clinical and
receive a tardy, with the exception of the 30 minutes arrival rule (i.e. the student
who arrives 15 minutes late to clinical and leaves 45 minutes early from post-
conference would miss 60 minutes or less and receive a tardy).
3. Three (3) tardies = one (1) absence.
4. Permission to enter the clinical/classroom will be left to the discretion of the
clinical/classroom instructor.
A. Students must demonstrate accountability. If a student reports to
clinical/classroom with an illness which may pose a threat to others, he/she
will be dismissed from the clinical area and will receive a clinical absence.
5. Students who are absent will be required to make up the lab/clinical hours.
A. Should the student miss the make-up hours it will be considered an absence.
6. Students missing any time after two (2) absences per course per semester
must, upon return to school, make a request to the Program Coordinator or the
Division Chair of Health Occupations, to discuss absences, and if needed, meet
with the extenuating circumstance committee. The student must provide
supporting evidence to validate the necessity of the absence.

The Extenuating Circumstance Committee


Extenuating Circumstances Committee composed of student, student advocate if
desired, one Radiology faculty and/or course instructor faculty, PJC/staff person,
program coordinator and/or Division Chair of Health Occupations.

1. Students missing any time after two (2) absences per semester must, upon
return to school, make a request to the program coordinator or the Division
Chair of Health Occupations, to meet with the Extenuating Circumstances
Committee. The student must provide supporting evidence to validate the
necessity of the absence. The student may request no more than two (2)
extenuating absence meetings per semester. Any further absences will result in
failure of the program, or withdrawal if prior to the drop date.
A. Automobile maintenance problems, traffic violation occurrences, or other
preventable occurrences are generally not considered extenuating
circumstances.
2. The faculty calling the meeting will write the minutes of the meeting, with copies
for the student, program coordinator, and minutes notebook.
3. An extenuating circumstance may be recorded in writing without a face-to-face
meeting with the student and members of the committee if all members agree
on the circumstances presented by the faculty responsible for the meeting.
4. A physician's physical condition statement may be required to return to clinical.

Course # (RADR 2235) – Karen Powers Page 8 of 19


C:\Users\ElaPit\Documents\Syllabi for 101s\Word to convert to PDF\RADR2235 01 101S.doc 
5 A 2/3 majority vote of the committee will be required for the student request of
extenuating circumstances to be granted.
6. When the decision is made by the committee to allow the student to continue,
the committee may then review other absences or tardies to determine if a
contingency plan should be formulated by the student to help prevent further
time lost.
7. If the Extenuating Circumstance Committee does not agree to allow the student
to continue, this will result in failure of the course.

Procedure for Reporting an Absence or Tardy


When a student must be late or absent from the clinical/classroom, that individual must
notify the clinical area or classroom instructor by telephone. If the assignment is in a
hospital, the agency must be notified as soon as possible.

When calling, the student should attempt to contact the person in charge, but if this
person is unavailable, speak to the next person in line of authority. The student should
then convey his/her message be relayed to the instructor when he/she arrives. The
student must obtain the name and position of the person contacted about the absence.

Failure to comply with the requirements may result in automatic probation. Abuse of
these rules may result in a termination from the program.

The student is required to be present for all scheduled exams. If an exam is missed, the
student will be required to contact the instructor of absence, and schedule the exam.
The exam must be taken by or upon the first class day upon his/her return to class. The
make-up exam may be an alternative exam.

If all students have taken the test on the scheduled date, the test review may be
performed immediately after the test; however, test grades will not be available until the
next class day. Grades will not be given over the telephone.

Daily grades/pop quizzes may be given at any time during the class periods, and may
consist of take-home assignments or study guides. The daily grade/pop quizzes will be
related to classroom content. No make-up daily grade/pop quiz will be given to a
student who is absent or tardy when a daily grade/pop quiz is given. A student who
misses a daily grade/pop quiz will receive a grade of zero (0) for that quiz.

A student may withdraw with a “W” in any Radiology course if prior to the drop date.

Clinical And/Or Campus Laboratory Grades


In RADR 1266, 1267, 2266, 2366, 2267, and 2367, grades for the clinical and/or
laboratory experience will be based on the number of mastered competencies, an
average of the clinical instructor’s evaluations for the semester, and attendance. The
clinical grade is separate from the classroom grade. A student who withdraws or
receives a failing grade in a didactic course will be required to repeat both the didactic
and the clinical course for the specified semester.

Course # (RADR 2235) – Karen Powers Page 9 of 19


C:\Users\ElaPit\Documents\Syllabi for 101s\Word to convert to PDF\RADR2235 01 101S.doc 
Incomplete or "X" Grades
Should a student receive an incomplete or "X" grade in a Radiology Technology course
or a concurrent support course, and this "X" is not removed by the end of two weeks
into the next semester, he/she may not continue in the Radiology Technology Program.

Student Conferences and Evaluations


Student conferences and evaluations will be held at least twice during any major
grading period (or more if a situation warrants). It is at this time that the student will be
told of his/her weak and strong points. There will be a complete set of records and data
kept on each student. Both the counselor and the student will sign all conferences and
evaluations.

Academic Counseling Services


Either the student or the instructor, or both, may initiate conferences regarding learning
and/or progress in a course. Sometimes concerns or problems of a personal nature
interfere with student learning. When these problems occur, the student should initiate,
or be encouraged to initiate, counseling. Such academic counseling is considered a
crucial part of the learning experience. The student development center (903-782-0426)
is staffed with professional counselors who are available to assist students.

CAMPUS LABORATORY EXPERIENCE


The Radiology Technology laboratories are located at the O. W. Robinson Building,
1128 Clarksville Street, Paris, Texas, and within the Workforce Training Center building,
Room 1026, and are considered to be a learning resource center for the student's use.

Within the Paris Junior College laboratory /media area (located in the Workforce
Training Center), the student will find a current selection of journals and a complete
selection of audio-visual materials (located in the Health Occupations Office) to
complement learning objectives. Students may also be required to use the Mike
Rheudasil Learning Center. Occasionally classroom instructors will refer students to
audio-visual materials and computer-assisted instruction (CAI). These will be used as
enrichment tools to be reviewed on the students' own time, and/or during assigned
laboratory times.

The Radiology Technology laboratories have an x-ray room. As this area is considered
a learning resource area, it is utilized in the same manner and environment as a library.
The expectations of keeping noise levels down and maintaining an environment
conducive to learning will be expected. It is required that the students take advantage of
these learning opportunities.

The Paris Junior College Learning Resource Center has been designed for student use.
There are a variety of learning experiences available for varied course work.

LABORATORY SKILL EVALUATION


A laboratory skill conference is a scheduled discussion of theory and/or practice of

Course # (RADR 2235) – Karen Powers Page 10 of 19


C:\Users\ElaPit\Documents\Syllabi for 101s\Word to convert to PDF\RADR2235 01 101S.doc 
psychomotor skills in the laboratory setting. These skill conferences are instructor led
with discussion, demonstration, and practice sessions. Students are encouraged to
practice in pairs. These conferences can be of several hours in duration, and are
usually held during clinical laboratory time.

Laboratory Skill Evaluation


While practice time does vary, it must be emphasized that no student should present
himself/herself for skill evaluation unless he/she has practiced at least once. If practice
time is used, every student should be able to master every skill in the course. No
student should present themselves for evaluation until the skill can be performed
according to the skill evaluation tool.

Time frames for completion of skills will be established by the instructor. At the
completion of each evaluation period the competency log form will be updated.
Guidelines for Campus Laboratory Use
1. The laboratory is available for student use during specified hours.
2. Each student is responsible for replacing supplies and/or equipment in the proper
place after use.
3. Any items which are defective should be reported to the faculty. This is to assure that
as many items as possible may be kept available for student use.
4. Required skill evaluations must be completed within the time designated by the
instructors.
5. There will be no smoking or visitors in the laboratory.
6. Misuse of the laboratories, equipment and/or materials will be documented and
placed in the student's file.

Lab Safety Protocol


1. Do not use damaged electrical cords or equipment. Report damaged equipment to
the faculty.
2. Use only manikins or fellow students for practice for radiographic simulations.
3. Use blood and body fluid standard precautions in the lab and clinical areas.
4. Equipment may be cleaned as instructed by the faculty. Proper use of these
substances are to be followed according to the manufacturer's directions as noted on
the label for each agent with respect to directions for safe use, product warnings and
precautions. READ LABELS.
5. Practice of any invasive procedure is to be done only with manikins in the lab. This
includes procedures such as: insertion of any tube and injections.
6. To reinforce utilization of Standard Precautions in the actual practice setting, students
should at all times use protective apparatus such as gloves, goggles, gowns, masks,
etc., as appropriate when working in the lab.
7. Report any accident or injury to instructor immediately. Campus security is to be
notified in emergency situations or injury. A PJC accident report must be completed
and filed on the same day. Forms may be obtained from the Health Occupations
Department.

CLINICAL EXPERIENCE

Course # (RADR 2235) – Karen Powers Page 11 of 19


C:\Users\ElaPit\Documents\Syllabi for 101s\Word to convert to PDF\RADR2235 01 101S.doc 
Clinical experience may be scheduled at any time during the 24-hour day on any of the
seven days of the week and may be scheduled in out-lying facilities to assure a
satisfactory clinical experience.

CPR certification, immunizations and any required medical screenings, must be current
prior to entering any semester clinical experiences.

Uniforms will consist of: 2nd year student-Caribbean blue top and pants; 1st year
student-Caribbean blue top and white pants. Solid white shirt may be worn under the
top. Shoes will be predominately white.
Documentation of the clinical experience is recorded in the Student Journal.

Instructors may be contacted through the Health Occupations Department Office (903-
782-0734).

Instructors will be accessible to students during assigned clinical experiences. It is the


student's responsibility to seek instructor assistance when needed or in cases where the
student is uncertain about his/her ability to perform a particular procedure.

Invasive Procedures
The student may only give contrast mediums under direct supervision. The student
may not perform any invasive procedures unless permission is given by the clinical
instructor.

Documented Trends of Unsafe Conduct and/or Practice


Identified behaviors of unsafe conduct and/or clinical practice will be documented by the
Student Evaluation Form. Unsafe behavior will be analyzed by the faculty team to
determine whether or not a consistent trend in such behavior is identifiable.
Particular attention will be given to behaviors which compromise patient safety and
welfare, and demonstrate unprofessional conduct.

When an unsafe behavior trend is identified, the student will be placed on clinical
probation.
The student will be given specific criteria, in writing, for removal of probation. Failure to
comply with the terms of probation will result in failure of the course.

If an unsafe behavior is severe enough to jeopardize patient safety, the student will be
placed on probation and/or could be immediately dismissed with a “F” from the program
by faculty team decision, whether or not an unsafe trend has been identified.

Identifiable trends in the following behaviors are some examples which may constitute
unsafe practice resulting in clinical probation.

UNSAFE AND UNPROFESSIONAL CLINICAL PRACTICE DEFINED


Unsafe clinical practice shall be deemed to be behaviors demonstrated by the student
which threaten or violate the physical, biological, or emotional safety of the patient

Course # (RADR 2235) – Karen Powers Page 12 of 19


C:\Users\ElaPit\Documents\Syllabi for 101s\Word to convert to PDF\RADR2235 01 101S.doc 
assigned to her/his care.

The following examples, which may serve as guidelines for the student's understanding
of unsafe clinical practices. Examples are not inclusive.

PHYSICAL SAFETY: unsafe behaviors: inappropriate use of side rails, wheelchairs,


positioning straps and equipment, lack of proper protection of the patient which
potentiates falls, lacerations, burns, etc.

BIOLOGICAL SAFETY: unsafe behaviors: fails to recognize errors in aseptic technique,


attends clinical site while ill, performs technical actions without appropriate supervision,
fails to seek help when needed, etc.

EMOTIONAL SAFETY: unsafe behaviors: threatens patient, make patient fearful,


provides patient with inappropriate or incorrect information, fails to seek help when
needed, demonstrates unstable emotional behaviors.

Unprofessional practice shall be deemed to be behaviors demonstrated by the student


which are inappropriate to the student-instructor, student-personnel, or student-patient
interactions which may be taken to be unsafe practice or to reflect negatively upon the
Radiology Technology Program or Paris Junior College.

Examples of unprofessional practice (not inclusive): verbal or non-verbal language,


actions, or voice inflection which compromise rapport or working relations with patients,
family members and/or working relations with clinical affiliates, or constitute violations of
legal or ethical standards.

Trends of unsafe performance will require documentation on the Student Conference


Form which is signed by the student during counseling with the instructor.
Documentation becomes a part of the student's permanent file.

Clinical Forms
The student will record procedures observed in their clinical area in Student Journals
and have it initialed by the clinical instructor. The instructor who observes the students'
performance will evaluate their performance utilizing the Clinical Instructor Evaluation of
Student Form.

Progress Analysis and Summative Evaluation


Students will receive a progress report midway through the semester and at the end of
the semester. If areas of improvement are identified during any of the rotations, written
notification will be given to the student identifying the problem area(s) and guidelines for
improvement and/or removal of probationary status.

DRESS CODE

HEALTH POLICIES AND PHYSICAL CONDITION


Since good health is essential for the radiology technologist, the following policies have
been adopted:
1. A physical examination, including a negative chest x-ray or negative TB skin
test, serology, CBC, and urinalysis are required prior to first class day.
2. Tetanus immunization should have been administered in the past ten (10)
years and must be kept up to date. Rubella or Titer (all ages) must have
had at least one dose since 12 months of age or recent serologic
confirmation validating immunity. Measles (those born after January 1, 1957,
only) must have two doses since 12 months of age. The two doses must be
at least 30 days apart. (History of illness may satisfy one vaccine
requirement, or a present positive serum titer will satisfy all requirements).

4. The student who is concerned about exposure to infectious disease is
advised to seek counseling from his/her private physician regarding risks and
precautions appropriate for health care workers.
5. Students with a noncontagious illness or injury may be admitted to, or
choose to continue in health occupations courses. If so, the student must
assume the risk that absenteeism or inability to perform duties related to
learning objectives and health care delivery can result in the necessity of
discontinuing in the program. It is the student's responsibility to obtain and
provide to the instructor continual written permission from the student's
physician.
6. Students are to follow standard (Universal) precautions and practice
preventive measures to maintain a health status.
7. Latex Warning: The use of latex/latex based products may exist in health

care provider so that they may receive information to make an informed
decision regarding their exposure to latex in the health care field.

Radiation Monitoring or Dosimetry Device Policy


The Paris Junior College Radiology Program utilizes Optically Stimulated Luminescence
(OSL) dosimetry badges provided by Landauer Company. Students will ALWAYS wear
the radiation badge while in clinical sites. Failure to wear the dosimetry badge is a
breach of the dress code.

The dosimetry badge provided by Paris Junior College will not be worn during outside
clinical hours. Students employed in Radiology areas must be provided a dosimetry
badge by the employer. Dosimetry will be exchanged on a monthly basis.

Dosimetry reports will be maintained in the program coordinator’s office. A copy of the
dosimetry report will be placed in the student’s permanent file.

Tampering with other students OSL dosimetry badge will result in dismissal from the
program

Failure of the student to exchange the badge (regardless of it being lost or forgotten) will
result on a lowering of the Clinical Grade by one full letter grade at the end of the
semester. Three (3) incidences of lost or forgotten OSLs will result in dismissal from the
program. If the badge is lost or stolen a written explanation must be furnished to the
Program Coordinator. This written explanation will be maintained in the students file.

If the radiation report for a student is excessive, the student will be counseled to
determine the cause of the excessive exposure. The student will be placed in a low
radiation work area until the problem is resolved.

With Texas being an agreement state with the NRC, the radiation protection aspect of
the radiology program complies with 25 Texas Administrative Code 289.231 – General
Provisions and Standards for Protection Against Machine-Produced Radiation.

ALARA – the student will practice ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

Excessive Exposure Report


If a radiation report for a student is excessive, the student will be counseled to
determine the cause of the excessive exposure. If the report continues to show an
increase in exposure, the student will be placed in a low radiation work area until the
problem is resolved.

Guidelines for this policy come from 25 Texas Administrative Code 289.231, General
Provisions and Standards for Protection Against Machine Produced Radiation.

A report will be made by the program coordinator and will include as a minimum:
1. the extent of exposure
2. the cause of the elevated exposure
3. corrective steps taken or planned to ensure against a recurrence, including
the schedule for achieving conformance with applicable limits, and associated
conditions.

This report will include the individual’s name, social security number, and date of birth.
At completion, this report will be placed in the student's permanent record.

An Excessive Exposure is any exposure in excess of 10% of the annual limits is


subsection (m) (1) of 25 Texas Administrative Code 289.231, pg 14.

An Excessive Exposure for a declared pregnant woman is any exposure in excess of


0.1 rem.

Film Badge Policy


The Paris Junior College Radiology Program provides all radiology students dosimetry
badges with the Optically Stimulated Luminescence (OSL) technology provided by
Landauer.

These OSL dosimetry devices are on a monthly basis.

Students receive their badges in the second semester of the program prior to attending
clinical rotation.

Student dosimetry reports are kept in the program coordinator’s office and a copy of the
student’s individual report will be placed into the student’s permanent file.

With Texas being an agreement state with the NRC, the radiation protection aspect of

the radiology program complies with 25 Texas Administrative Code 289.231 – General
Provisions and Standards for Protection Against Machine-Produced Radiation.

Pregnancy
Students have the option of informing the program Division Chair, in writing, of a
pregnancy. It is recommended that the student inform the Program Coordinator and/or
the Clinical Coordinator immediately upon learning of the pregnancy so that the student
may be counseled regarding her and her baby’s radiation protection. The student is
encouraged to read the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Guide 8.13 “Instructions
Concerning Prenatal Radiation Exposure”. A dosimetry badge will be ordered for the
fetus and student’s clinical experience may be modified from any rotation in
which a heavy fluoroscopy load exists until after the first trimester. Pregnant students
will receive no more than an 0.5 rem of radiation exposure during the entire gestation
period. The student MUST provide a written statement from her physician stating that
the student may participate in all radiologic procedures. If the physician will not release
the student, she will be REQUIRED to withdraw from the program.

The pregnant student will be required to function as a normal, healthy student in ALL
assigned radiographic areas, including lifting patients, and transportation. No “light duty
assignments” will be made. If her and/or her physician’s opinions differ from this policy,
the student will be required to withdraw from the program. All female students will sign
an agreement of understanding concerning pregnancy and radiation protection prior to
acceptance. The agreement simply explains this policy and the prospective student
understands the policy.

If the student does not inform the program of her pregnancy in writing, the student will
be considered to not be pregnant regardless of overt signs, the above measures cannot
be taken. These measures are all for the benefit of the student and the baby. Without
the cooperation, the approved, usual and standard safety precautions cannot be
implemented.

In order for the student to maintain a good standing in the program after the baby’s
birth, the pregnant student must begin “banking” clinical hours so that she may have a
maximum of 6 weeks of absences from the Practicum course. The student will supply
her class schedule (clinical and academic) and a written plan for accumulating bank
hours to the clinical coordinator. The student may schedule no more than forty
hours per week of TOTAL classroom, clinical and bank hours. This schedule will
need to be revised each semester according to the student’s schedule and must be
approved by the clinical coordinator. The “bank hours” must be scheduled only at times
in which proper supervision is available. Students will not receive credit for time
spent at clinicals that were not scheduled. All rules of conduct and attendance will
apply while the student is accumulating bank hours. Bank and make-up times are all
subject to the same rules as regular clinical time. Students who fail to bank adequate
hours to cover post partum absences (including in the event of c-section birth) will not
be allowed to return to clinicals, and will be allowed to re-enter in the same semester in
the following year if space is available.

A dosimetry badge will be ordered for the fetus, and the student will be required to wear
it at waist level under the lead apron. The cost of the fetal badge must be paid for by
the student once the pregnancy is declared. The student will attend classes on campus
two- (2) weeks post partum and begin Practicum six- (6) weeks post partum. A letter
from her physician allowing this will be required. The student may return earlier if her
physician consents. The student should not expect nor receive any other
considerations or special treatment from the program. The student’s radiation
exposure will be continuously monitored to insure that the maximum permissible dose of
500 mr is not exceeded. If the student exceeds the maximum permissible dose, she will
be withdrawn from the program. All attendance, absence, and make-up policies will be
equally enforced. All declared pregnant students must sign the Student Declared
Pregnancy Form. (

Criminal Background Checks/Urine Drug Screen


Students may be required to submit to drug screen tests and criminal background
checks as required by clinical facilities. Paris Junior College will follow practice and
procedures of each facility regarding results. Students with positive drug screens will not
be allowed to attend clinical resulting in failure of the course. Students with positive
background checks will follow the practice and procedures of each facility being utilized
by PJC Radiology Technology students.

The student is responsible for turning in competencies to the clinical coordinator on a


weekly basis and competencies not submitted within 7 days will not be accepted. All
failed competencies must be turned in each week or 5 points will be taken off the
student’s final grade. After the 3rd incident, it may be grounds for dismissal.

During weekly clinical discussions, the student is responsible for bringing the following
items: competencies, time sheets, and journals with clinical preceptor’s signatures. If
the student does not have each of the items, including signatures, then two (2) points
will be deducted from final grade. The weekly clinical discussion will require the student
to verbally discuss procedures that they assisted, observed, and performed during the
prior week to their classmates for group discussion.

The students’ evaluations will be reviewed. Any problems that might have occurred will
be discussed during clinical discussion so that the whole group may benefit from the
evaluations. Twice a semester the student and instructor will meet to discuss individual
evaluations. There will be a clinical discussion weekly.

Students who have unsatisfactory progress in clinical will be given written notification,
put on probation, and a plan for remediation will be completed. Continued
unsatisfactory progress after remediation may result in dismissal from program.
Evaluations that do not meet minimum requirements are deemed unsatisfactory
progress in the course.

and/or the Division Chair/or Program Coordinator of the Radiology Technology
Program. After withdrawing from a Radiology Technology course, a student must
reapply for admission to the Radiology Technology Program in order to enroll in any
subsequent Radiology Technology course.
The student must initiate the withdrawal procedure with the instructor prior to the
withdrawal date or a grade of "F" will be recorded for the total semester hours of the
dropped Radiology Technology course.

Unsatisfactory Progress In A Course


Contract for Improvement
Students who have unsatisfactory classroom/clinical performance will have a student
conference scheduled, be given written notification and a plan for improvement will be
completed. If the student does not show improvement, the probation status will be
implemented.

Clinical performance needing improvement or clinical performance that is unsatisfactory


will be specified in the documentation. If the student does not show improvement, the
probation status will be implemented. A student may be placed on probation at the
faculty team's decision without preliminary remediation.

Probationary Status:
Probationary criteria will be written in the form of behavioral/clinical objectives and
recorded in the document entitled "Report of Unsatisfactory Progress/Probation Form".
A time frame for review of status will be specified. The terms of probation will be
discussed with the student and validated by the signatures of the course instructor and
the student.

At the end of the specified term of probation, the student's status is reviewed by the
program faculty. This review will be recorded on the document entitled, "Report of
Status Review". If the probation criteria has been met, the student's probation is lifted.
Failure to meet probationary criteria may result in failure of the course at the faculty
team’s decision. Probation will be contained within each course.

Dismissal
Any student may be dismissed from the program without a probationary period if the
student shows gross negligence, unsafe care, lack of personal or professional integrity,
breach of patient confidentiality, or commits a criminal act.

"Unsafe care" is defined as any act of omission or commission which places the
client(s) in jeopardy of negative changes in health status.

Personal integrity as well as concern for the welfare of patients are personal attributes
that are absolutely essential for those entering the Radiology Technology profession.
Actions taken and attitudes expressed while in the student role are considered
indicative of behaviors to be expected of the graduate. The student will be given the
opportunity to discuss the incident(s) with the course team faculty.

Grounds for Immediate Dismissal From Program
A student may be subject to immediate dismissal from the Radiology Technology
Program and failure of the course in the following situations:

a. Failure to maintain patient safety resulting in injury to the patient.


b. A medication error which results in injury to the patient.
c. The practice of academic dishonesty such as cheating on preparation for clinical,
and on tests or written assignments (both parties), making false entries in a record.
d. The use of alcohol, illegal drugs, or misuse of prescription or any other drugs during
school activities or on school property, or reporting to class/clinical under the
influence of alcohol or illegal drugs.
e. Appropriating, in connection with the practice of Radiology Technology, medication,
supplies, equipment, or personal items of the patient/client, employer, or any other
person or entity. (This includes accepting remuneration, gifts, etc.)

Procedure for Dismissal


STEP 1. Dismissal from the program will be initiated by the faculty and program
coordinator with prior notification of the Division Chair of Health Occupations. If
the Division Chair is absent, the Vice President of Workforce Education must
be notified prior to dismissal.

STEP 2. The program coordinator and instructor will meet with the student to inform
him/her that they are initiating the procedure. If the program coordinator is the
instructor, another faculty member will be present.

STEP 3. If the student wishes to contest this decision, he/she must file a Request of
Grievance Conference with the Program Coordinator. (Appendix XVI).

Grievance Procedure
Problems of an individual or of a personal nature should be handled in the following
ways: A student may formally express dissatisfaction with his/her progress in the
Radiology Technology Program. Grade disputes should be resolved at the lowest level
possible (i.e., the instructor and student). Recognizing that this is not always possible,
the following procedure has been adopted as policy for resolving grade and course
progress disputes. The steps have been defined to facilitate resolution at the lowest
level and in that interest; the order of steps will at no time be violated. The grievance
procedure must be initiated within two (2) working days of the incident by which time the
student must initiate a "Request of Grievance Conference" with the program coordinator
or Division Chair of Health Occupations if the team leader is not available.

STEP 1. The student should request an appointment to discuss the case with the
faculty and the program coordinator. If a satisfactory decision still has not been
reached, the student may request to meet with the Division Chair of the Health
Occupations within five (5) working days.
STEP 2. If resolution of the grievance has not been reached under the guidance of the

Course # (RADR 2266) – Karen Powers Page 8 of 21


C:\Users\ElaPit\Documents\Syllabi for 101s\Word to convert to PDF\RADR2266 01 101S.doc 
Division Chair within five (5) working days, the student may request an
appointment with representative members of the faculty-as-a-whole within five
(5) working days. The faculty vote will be taken by ballot and tallied by the
Division Chair and a PJC non-Radiology Technology faculty/staff member.
Failure will require a two-thirds majority vote of the faculty. The conference will
be recorded on tape and on a Grievance Conference Report form, a copy of
which goes to the student and the original placed in the Confidential File.
STEP 3. If resolution of the grievance has not been reached under the guidance of the
Division Chair within five (5) working days, the student may request an
appointment within five (5) working days with the Vice President of Workforce
Education to present his/her case.

Access to Confidential File


The CONFIDENTIAL FILE will be kept in the office of the Division Chair of Health
Occupations. Access to the file will be controlled by the Division Chair and limited to the
course faculty directly involved in the particular grievance, and the Vice President of
Workforce Education.

The procedures in this policy have been set up to assure confidentiality and a full
hearing of the student's position.

Attendance Policies
Radiology Technology students will follow the absence and tardy policies of Paris Junior
College as discussed in the school catalog, with the following modifications because of
the nature of Radiology Technology:

1. During inclement weather on clinical/classroom days, the student must make


his/her own decision regarding safety for travel to school. A student who decides
not to attend clinical/class because of inclement weather will receive an absence
unless official notification by the college has been made that classes are closed.
2. Any student arriving at the clinical area later than 30 minutes will be given an
absence. Students arriving 30 minutes or less at the clinical area will receive a
tardy. Students missing 60 minutes or less of classroom during a given day will
receive a tardy. Students missing more than 60 minutes will be given an
absence. A tardy or absence such as arriving late or leaving early may occur at
any point during the day. Students may miss up to 60 minutes of clinical and
receive a tardy, with the exception of the 30 minutes arrival rule (i.e. the student
who arrives 15 minutes late to clinical and leaves 45 minutes early from post-
conference would miss 60 minutes or less and receive a tardy).
3. Three (3) tardies = one (1) absence.
4. Permission to enter the clinical/classroom will be left to the discretion of the
clinical/classroom instructor.
A. Students must demonstrate accountability. If a student reports to
clinical/classroom with an illness which may pose a threat to others, he/she
will be dismissed from the clinical area and will receive a clinical absence.
5. Students who are absent will be required to make up the lab/clinical hours.

C:\Users\ElaPit\Documents\Syllabi for 101s\Word to convert to PDF\RADR2266 01 101S.doc 
A. Should the student miss the make-up hours it will be considered an absence.
6. Students missing any time after two (2) absences per course per semester
must, upon return to school, make a request to the Program Coordinator or the
Division Chair of Health Occupations, to discuss absences, and if needed, meet
with the extenuating circumstance committee. The student must provide
supporting evidence to validate the necessity of the absence.

The Extenuating Circumstance Committee


Extenuating Circumstances Committee composed of student, student advocate if
desired, one Radiology faculty and/or course instructor faculty, PJC/staff person,
program coordinator and/or Division Chair of Health Occupations.

1. Students missing any time after two (2) absences per semester must, upon
return to school, make a request to the program coordinator or the Division
Chair of Health Occupations, to meet with the Extenuating Circumstances
Committee. The student must provide supporting evidence to validate the
necessity of the absence. The student may request no more than two (2)
extenuating absence meetings per semester. Any further absences will result in
failure of the program, or withdrawal if prior to the drop date.
A. Automobile maintenance problems, traffic violation occurrences, or other
preventable occurrences are generally not considered extenuating
circumstances.
2. The faculty calling the meeting will write the minutes of the meeting, with copies
for the student, program coordinator, and minutes notebook.
3. An extenuating circumstance may be recorded in writing without a face-to-face
meeting with the student and members of the committee if all members agree
on the circumstances presented by the faculty responsible for the meeting.
4. A physician's physical condition statement may be required to return to clinical.
5 A 2/3 majority vote of the committee will be required for the student request of
extenuating circumstances to be granted.
6. When the decision is made by the committee to allow the student to continue,
the committee may then review other absences or tardies to determine if a
contingency plan should be formulated by the student to help prevent further
time lost.
7. If the Extenuating Circumstance Committee does not agree to allow the student
to continue, this will result in failure of the course.

Procedure for Reporting an Absence or Tardy


When a student must be late or absent from the clinical/classroom, that individual must
notify the clinical area or classroom instructor by telephone. If the assignment is in a
hospital, the agency must be notified as soon as possible.

When calling, the student should attempt to contact the person in charge, but if this
person is unavailable, speak to the next person in line of authority. The student should
then convey his/her message be relayed to the instructor when he/she arrives. The
student must obtain the name and position of the person contacted about the absence.

C:\Users\ElaPit\Documents\Syllabi for 101s\Word to convert to PDF\RADR2266 01 101S.doc 
Failure to comply with the requirements may result in automatic probation. Abuse of
these rules may result in a termination from the program.

The student is required to be present for all scheduled exams. If an exam is missed, the
student will be required to contact the instructor of absence, and schedule the exam.
The exam must be taken by or upon the first class day upon his/her return to class. The
make-up exam may be an alternative exam.

If all students have taken the test on the scheduled date, the test review may be
performed immediately after the test; however, test grades will not be available until the
next class day. Grades will not be given over the telephone.

Daily grades/pop quizzes may be given at any time during the class periods, and may
consist of take-home assignments or study guides. The daily grade/pop quizzes will be
related to classroom content. No make-up daily grade/pop quiz will be given to a
student who is absent or tardy when a daily grade/pop quiz is given. A student who
misses a daily grade/pop quiz will receive a grade of zero (0) for that quiz.

A student may withdraw with a “W” in any Radiology course if prior to the drop date.

Clinical And/Or Campus Laboratory Grades


In RADR 1266, 1267, 2266, 2366, 2267, and 2367, grades for the clinical and/or
laboratory experience will be based on the number of mastered competencies, an
average of the clinical instructor’s evaluations for the semester, and attendance. The
clinical grade is separate from the classroom grade. A student who withdraws or
receives a failing grade in a didactic course will be required to repeat both the didactic
and the clinical course for the specified semester.

Incomplete or "X" Grades


Should a student receive an incomplete or "X" grade in a Radiology Technology course
or a concurrent support course, and this "X" is not removed by the end of two weeks
into the next semester, he/she may not continue in the Radiology Technology Program.

Student Conferences and Evaluations


Student conferences and evaluations will be held at least twice during any major
grading period (or more if a situation warrants). It is at this time that the student will be
told of his/her weak and strong points. There will be a complete set of records and data
kept on each student. Both the counselor and the student will sign all conferences and
evaluations.

Academic Counseling Services


Either the student or the instructor, or both, may initiate conferences regarding learning
and/or progress in a course. Sometimes concerns or problems of a personal nature
interfere with student learning. When these problems occur, the student should initiate,
or be encouraged to initiate, counseling. Such academic counseling is considered a

C:\Users\ElaPit\Documents\Syllabi for 101s\Word to convert to PDF\RADR2266 01 101S.doc 
crucial part of the learning experience. The student development center (903-782-0426)
is staffed with professional counselors who are available to assist students.

CAMPUS LABORATORY EXPERIENCE


The Radiology Technology laboratories are located at the O. W. Robinson Building,
1128 Clarksville Street, Paris, Texas, and within the Workforce Training Center building,
Room 1026, and are considered to be a learning resource center for the student's use.

Within the Paris Junior College laboratory /media area (located in the Workforce
Training Center), the student will find a current selection of journals and a complete
selection of audio-visual materials (located in the Health Occupations Office) to
complement learning objectives. Students may also be required to use the Mike
Rheudasil Learning Center. Occasionally classroom instructors will refer students to
audio-visual materials and computer-assisted instruction (CAI). These will be used as
enrichment tools to be reviewed on the students' own time, and/or during assigned
laboratory times.

The Radiology Technology laboratories have an x-ray room. As this area is considered
a learning resource area, it is utilized in the same manner and environment as a library.
The expectations of keeping noise levels down and maintaining an environment
conducive to learning will be expected. It is required that the students take advantage of
these learning opportunities.

The Paris Junior College Learning Resource Center has been designed for student use.
There are a variety of learning experiences available for varied course work.

LABORATORY SKILL EVALUATION


A laboratory skill conference is a scheduled discussion of theory and/or practice of
psychomotor skills in the laboratory setting. These skill conferences are instructor led
with discussion, demonstration, and practice sessions. Students are encouraged to
practice in pairs. These conferences can be of several hours in duration, and are
usually held during clinical laboratory time.

Laboratory Skill Evaluation


While practice time does vary, it must be emphasized that no student should present
himself/herself for skill evaluation unless he/she has practiced at least once. If practice
time is used, every student should be able to master every skill in the course. No
student should present themselves for evaluation until the skill can be performed
according to the skill evaluation tool.

Time frames for completion of skills will be established by the instructor. At the
completion of each evaluation period the competency log form will be updated.
Guidelines for Campus Laboratory Use
1. The laboratory is available for student use during specified hours.
2. Each student is responsible for replacing supplies and/or equipment in the proper
place after use.

the faculty.
2. Use only manikins or fellow students for practice for radiographic simulations.
3. Use blood and body fluid standard precautions in the lab and clinical areas.
4. Equipment may be cleaned as instructed by the faculty. Proper use of these
substances are to be followed according to the manufacturer's directions as noted on
the label for each agent with respect to directions for safe use, product warnings and
precautions. READ LABELS.
5. Practice of any invasive procedure is to be done only with manikins in the lab. This
includes procedures such as: insertion of any tube and injections.
6. To reinforce utilization of Standard Precautions in the actual practice setting, students
should at all times use protective apparatus such as gloves, goggles, gowns, masks,
etc., as appropriate when working in the lab.
7. Report any accident or injury to instructor immediately. Campus security is to be
notified in emergency situations or injury. A PJC accident report must be completed
and filed on the same day. Forms may be obtained from the Health Occupations
Department.

CLINICAL EXPERIENCE
Clinical experience may be scheduled at any time during the 24-hour day on any of the
seven days of the week and may be scheduled in out-lying facilities to assure a
satisfactory clinical experience.

CPR certification, immunizations and any required medical screenings, must be current
prior to entering any semester clinical experiences.

Uniforms will consist of: 2nd year student-Caribbean blue top and pants; 1st year
student-Caribbean blue top and white pants. Solid white shirt may be worn under the
top. Shoes will be predominately white.
Documentation of the clinical experience is recorded in the Student Journal.

Instructors may be contacted through the Health Occupations Department Office (903-
782-0734).

Invasive Procedures
The student may only give contrast mediums under direct supervision. The student
may not perform any invasive procedures unless permission is given by the clinical
instructor.

Documented Trends of Unsafe Conduct and/or Practice


Identified behaviors of unsafe conduct and/or clinical practice will be documented by the
Student Evaluation Form. Unsafe behavior will be analyzed by the faculty team to
determine whether or not a consistent trend in such behavior is identifiable.
Particular attention will be given to behaviors which compromise patient safety and
welfare, and demonstrate unprofessional conduct.

When an unsafe behavior trend is identified, the student will be placed on clinical
probation.
The student will be given specific criteria, in writing, for removal of probation. Failure to
comply with the terms of probation will result in failure of the course.

If an unsafe behavior is severe enough to jeopardize patient safety, the student will be
placed on probation and/or could be immediately dismissed with a “F” from the program
by faculty team decision, whether or not an unsafe trend has been identified.

Identifiable trends in the following behaviors are some examples which may constitute
unsafe practice resulting in clinical probation.

UNSAFE AND UNPROFESSIONAL CLINICAL PRACTICE DEFINED


Unsafe clinical practice shall be deemed to be behaviors demonstrated by the student
which threaten or violate the physical, biological, or emotional safety of the patient
assigned to her/his care.

The following examples, which may serve as guidelines for the student's understanding
of unsafe clinical practices. Examples are not inclusive.

PHYSICAL SAFETY: unsafe behaviors: inappropriate use of side rails, wheelchairs,


positioning straps and equipment, lack of proper protection of the patient which
potentiates falls, lacerations, burns, etc.

BIOLOGICAL SAFETY: unsafe behaviors: fails to recognize errors in aseptic technique,


attends clinical site while ill, performs technical actions without appropriate supervision,
fails to seek help when needed, etc.

EMOTIONAL SAFETY: unsafe behaviors: threatens patient, make patient fearful,


provides patient with inappropriate or incorrect information, fails to seek help when

HEALTH POLICIES AND PHYSICAL CONDITION


Since good health is essential for the radiology technologist, the following policies have
been adopted:
1. A physical examination, including a negative chest x-ray or negative TB skin
test, serology, CBC, and urinalysis are required prior to first class day.
2. Tetanus immunization should have been administered in the past ten (10)
years and must be kept up to date. Rubella or Titer (all ages) must have
had at least one dose since 12 months of age or recent serologic
confirmation validating immunity. Measles (those born after January 1, 1957,
only) must have two doses since 12 months of age. The two doses must be
at least 30 days apart. (History of illness may satisfy one vaccine
requirement, or a present positive serum titer will satisfy all requirements).
Mumps (those born after January 1, 1957, only) must have at least one
dose since 12 months of age or history of illness or recent serologic
validation of immunity. Hepatitis B (all ages) a complete series or proof of
immunity prior to beginning direct client care. Varicella: (all ages) – One
dose of vaccine is required for students who received this vaccine prior to 13
years of age. Two doses are required for students who were not vaccinated

care provider so that they may receive information to make an informed
decision regarding their exposure to latex in the health care field.

Radiation Monitoring or Dosimetry Device Policy


The Paris Junior College Radiology Program utilizes Optically Stimulated Luminescence
(OSL) dosimetry badges provided by Landauer Company. Students will ALWAYS wear
the radiation badge while in clinical sites. Failure to wear the dosimetry badge is a
breach of the dress code.

The dosimetry badge provided by Paris Junior College will not be worn during outside
clinical hours. Students employed in Radiology areas must be provided a dosimetry
badge by the employer. Dosimetry will be exchanged on a monthly basis.

Dosimetry reports will be maintained in the program coordinator’s office. A copy of the
dosimetry report will be placed in the student’s permanent file.

Tampering with other students OSL dosimetry badge will result in dismissal from the
program

Failure of the student to exchange the badge (regardless of it being lost or forgotten) will
result on a lowering of the Clinical Grade by one full letter grade at the end of the
semester. Three (3) incidences of lost or forgotten OSLs will result in dismissal from the
program. If the badge is lost or stolen a written explanation must be furnished to the
Program Coordinator. This written explanation will be maintained in the students file.

If the radiation report for a student is excessive, the student will be counseled to
determine the cause of the excessive exposure. The student will be placed in a low
radiation work area until the problem is resolved.

With Texas being an agreement state with the NRC, the radiation protection aspect of
the radiology program complies with 25 Texas Administrative Code 289.231 – General
Provisions and Standards for Protection Against Machine-Produced Radiation.

ALARA – the student will practice ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

Excessive Exposure Report


If a radiation report for a student is excessive, the student will be counseled to
determine the cause of the excessive exposure. If the report continues to show an
increase in exposure, the student will be placed in a low radiation work area until the
problem is resolved.

Guidelines for this policy come from 25 Texas Administrative Code 289.231, General
Provisions and Standards for Protection Against Machine Produced Radiation.

A report will be made by the program coordinator and will include as a minimum:
1. the extent of exposure

Course # (RADR 2266) – Karen Powers Page 18 of 21


C:\Users\ElaPit\Documents\Syllabi for 101s\Word to convert to PDF\RADR2266 01 101S.doc 
2. the cause of the elevated exposure
3. corrective steps taken or planned to ensure against a recurrence, including
the schedule for achieving conformance with applicable limits, and associated
conditions.

This report will include the individual’s name, social security number, and date of birth.
At completion, this report will be placed in the student's permanent record.

An Excessive Exposure is any exposure in excess of 10% of the annual limits is


subsection (m) (1) of 25 Texas Administrative Code 289.231, pg 14.

An Excessive Exposure for a declared pregnant woman is any exposure in excess of


0.1 rem.

Film Badge Policy


The Paris Junior College Radiology Program provides all radiology students dosimetry
badges with the Optically Stimulated Luminescence (OSL) technology provided by
Landauer.

These OSL dosimetry devices are on a monthly basis.

Students receive their badges in the second semester of the program prior to attending
clinical rotation.

Student dosimetry reports are kept in the program coordinator’s office and a copy of the
student’s individual report will be placed into the student’s permanent file.

With Texas being an agreement state with the NRC, the radiation protection aspect of
the radiology program complies with 25 Texas Administrative Code 289.231 – General
Provisions and Standards for Protection Against Machine-Produced Radiation.

Pregnancy
Students have the option of informing the program Division Chair, in writing, of a
pregnancy. It is recommended that the student inform the Program Coordinator and/or
the Clinical Coordinator immediately upon learning of the pregnancy so that the student
may be counseled regarding her and her baby’s radiation protection. The student is
encouraged to read the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Guide 8.13 “Instructions
Concerning Prenatal Radiation Exposure”. A dosimetry badge will be ordered for the
fetus and student’s clinical experience may be modified from any rotation in
which a heavy fluoroscopy load exists until after the first trimester. Pregnant students
will receive no more than an 0.5 rem of radiation exposure during the entire gestation
period. The student MUST provide a written statement from her physician stating that
the student may participate in all radiologic procedures. If the physician will not release
the student, she will be REQUIRED to withdraw from the program.

The pregnant student will be required to function as a normal, healthy student in ALL

assigned radiographic areas, including lifting patients, and transportation. No “light duty
assignments” will be made. If her and/or her physician’s opinions differ from this policy,
the student will be required to withdraw from the program. All female students will sign
an agreement of understanding concerning pregnancy and radiation protection prior to
acceptance. The agreement simply explains this policy and the prospective student
understands the policy.

If the student does not inform the program of her pregnancy in writing, the student will
be considered to not be pregnant regardless of overt signs, the above measures cannot
be taken. These measures are all for the benefit of the student and the baby. Without
the cooperation, the approved, usual and standard safety precautions cannot be
implemented.

In order for the student to maintain a good standing in the program after the baby’s
birth, the pregnant student must begin “banking” clinical hours so that she may have a
maximum of 6 weeks of absences from the Practicum course. The student will supply
her class schedule (clinical and academic) and a written plan for accumulating bank
hours to the clinical coordinator. The student may schedule no more than forty
hours per week of TOTAL classroom, clinical and bank hours. This schedule will
need to be revised each semester according to the student’s schedule and must be
approved by the clinical coordinator. The “bank hours” must be scheduled only at times
in which proper supervision is available. Students will not receive credit for time
spent at clinicals that were not scheduled. All rules of conduct and attendance will
apply while the student is accumulating bank hours. Bank and make-up times are all
subject to the same rules as regular clinical time. Students who fail to bank adequate
hours to cover post partum absences (including in the event of c-section birth) will not
be allowed to return to clinicals, and will be allowed to re-enter in the same semester in
the following year if space is available.

A dosimetry badge will be ordered for the fetus, and the student will be required to wear
it at waist level under the lead apron. The cost of the fetal badge must be paid for by
the student once the pregnancy is declared. The student will attend classes on campus
two- (2) weeks post partum and begin Practicum six- (6) weeks post partum. A letter
from her physician allowing this will be required. The student may return earlier if her
physician consents. The student should not expect nor receive any other
considerations or special treatment from the program. The student’s radiation
exposure will be continuously monitored to insure that the maximum permissible dose of
500 mr is not exceeded. If the student exceeds the maximum permissible dose, she will
be withdrawn from the program. All attendance, absence, and make-up policies will be
equally enforced. All declared pregnant students must sign the Student Declared
Pregnancy Form. (

Criminal Background Checks/Urine Drug Screen


Students may be required to submit to drug screen tests and criminal background
checks as required by clinical facilities. Paris Junior College will follow practice and
procedures of each facility regarding results. Students with positive drug screens will not

should seek expert advice from their health care provider so that they may receive
information to make an informed decision regarding their exposure to latex in the health
care field.

REGISTRATION AND PROGRESSION


Students majoring in the Radiology Technology Program will enroll in the same manner
as other Paris Junior College students. The Division Chair of the program or his/her
academic advisor will assist the student as needed in scheduling courses.

Radiology Technology courses must follow the sequence as given in the college
catalog.

Each student will have a Radiology Technology degree plan prepared in consultation
with his/her academic advisor or the Division Chair/or Program Coordinator of
Radiology Technology Program. It is the responsibility of each student to see that
he/she progresses through his/her degree plan as outlined, or arrange appropriate
deviation from this plan with the Division Chair/or Program Coordinator of Radiology
Technology Program.

In order to continue and progress in the Radiology Technology Program the student's
work must remain satisfactory in the following areas:
1. Maintain a 2.0 average in total course work.
2. Completion of required academic courses.
3. Maintain 2.0 or better grades in each of the Radiology Technology Program
courses.
4. Evidence of satisfactory clinical performance at the end of each semester based
on the criteria for the semester.

Withdrawal, Probation, and Dismissal Policies


Withdrawal
A student may withdraw from a Radiology Technology course by using the procedure
outlined in the Paris Junior College Catalog following counsel with his/her instructors
and/or the Division Chair/or Program Coordinator of the Radiology Technology
Program. After withdrawing from a Radiology Technology course, a student must
reapply for admission to the Radiology Technology Program in order to enroll in any
subsequent Radiology Technology course.
The student must initiate the withdrawal procedure with the instructor prior to the
withdrawal date or a grade of "F" will be recorded for the total semester hours of the
dropped Radiology Technology course.

C:\Users\ElaPit\Documents\Syllabi for 101s\Word to convert to PDF\RADR2309 01 101S.doc 
Unsatisfactory Progress In A Course
Contract for Improvement
Students who have unsatisfactory classroom/clinical performance will have a student
conference scheduled, be given written notification and a plan for improvement will be
completed. If the student does not show improvement, the probation status will be
implemented.

Clinical performance needing improvement or clinical performance that is unsatisfactory


will be specified in the documentation. If the student does not show improvement, the
probation status will be implemented. A student may be placed on probation at the
faculty team's decision without preliminary remediation.

Probationary Status:
Probationary criteria will be written in the form of behavioral/clinical objectives and
recorded in the document entitled "Report of Unsatisfactory Progress/Probation Form".
A time frame for review of status will be specified. The terms of probation will be
discussed with the student and validated by the signatures of the course instructor and
the student.

At the end of the specified term of probation, the student's status is reviewed by the
program faculty. This review will be recorded on the document entitled, "Report of
Status Review". If the probation criteria has been met, the student's probation is lifted.
Failure to meet probationary criteria may result in failure of the course at the faculty
team’s decision. Probation will be contained within each course.

Dismissal
Any student may be dismissed from the program without a probationary period if the
student shows gross negligence, unsafe care, lack of personal or professional integrity,
breach of patient confidentiality, or commits a criminal act.

"Unsafe care" is defined as any act of omission or commission which places the
client(s) in jeopardy of negative changes in health status.

Personal integrity as well as concern for the welfare of patients are personal attributes
that are absolutely essential for those entering the Radiology Technology profession.
Actions taken and attitudes expressed while in the student role are considered
indicative of behaviors to be expected of the graduate. The student will be given the
opportunity to discuss the incident(s) with the course team faculty.

Grounds for Immediate Dismissal From Program


A student may be subject to immediate dismissal from the Radiology Technology
Program and failure of the course in the following situations:

a. Failure to maintain patient safety resulting in injury to the patient.


b. A medication error which results in injury to the patient.

Course # (RADR 2309) – Lauri Redus Page 6 of 20


C:\Users\ElaPit\Documents\Syllabi for 101s\Word to convert to PDF\RADR2309 01 101S.doc 
c. The practice of academic dishonesty such as cheating on preparation for clinical,
and on tests or written assignments (both parties), making false entries in a record.
d. The use of alcohol, illegal drugs, or misuse of prescription or any other drugs during
school activities or on school property, or reporting to class/clinical under the
influence of alcohol or illegal drugs.
e. Appropriating, in connection with the practice of Radiology Technology, medication,
supplies, equipment, or personal items of the patient/client, employer, or any other
person or entity. (This includes accepting remuneration, gifts, etc.)

Procedure for Dismissal


STEP 1. Dismissal from the program will be initiated by the faculty and program
coordinator with prior notification of the Division Chair of Health Occupations. If
the Division Chair is absent, the Vice President of Workforce Education must
be notified prior to dismissal.

STEP 2. The program coordinator and instructor will meet with the student to inform
him/her that they are initiating the procedure. If the program coordinator is the
instructor, another faculty member will be present.

STEP 3. If the student wishes to contest this decision, he/she must file a Request of
Grievance Conference with the Program Coordinator. (Appendix XVI).

Grievance Procedure
Problems of an individual or of a personal nature should be handled in the following
ways: A student may formally express dissatisfaction with his/her progress in the
Radiology Technology Program. Grade disputes should be resolved at the lowest level
possible (i.e., the instructor and student). Recognizing that this is not always possible,
the following procedure has been adopted as policy for resolving grade and course
progress disputes. The steps have been defined to facilitate resolution at the lowest
level and in that interest; the order of steps will at no time be violated. The grievance
procedure must be initiated within two (2) working days of the incident by which time the
student must initiate a "Request of Grievance Conference" with the program coordinator
or Division Chair of Health Occupations if the team leader is not available.

STEP 1. The student should request an appointment to discuss the case with the
faculty and the program coordinator. If a satisfactory decision still has not been
reached, the student may request to meet with the Division Chair of the Health
Occupations within five (5) working days.
STEP 2. If resolution of the grievance has not been reached under the guidance of the
Division Chair within five (5) working days, the student may request an
appointment with representative members of the faculty-as-a-whole within five
(5) working days. The faculty vote will be taken by ballot and tallied by the
Division Chair and a PJC non-Radiology Technology faculty/staff member.
Failure will require a two-thirds majority vote of the faculty. The conference will
be recorded on tape and on a Grievance Conference Report form, a copy of
which goes to the student and the original placed in the Confidential File.

C:\Users\ElaPit\Documents\Syllabi for 101s\Word to convert to PDF\RADR2309 01 101S.doc 
STEP 3. If resolution of the grievance has not been reached under the guidance of the
Division Chair within five (5) working days, the student may request an
appointment within five (5) working days with the Vice President of Workforce
Education to present his/her case.

Access to Confidential File


The CONFIDENTIAL FILE will be kept in the office of the Division Chair of Health
Occupations. Access to the file will be controlled by the Division Chair and limited to the
course faculty directly involved in the particular grievance, and the Vice President of
Workforce Education.

The procedures in this policy have been set up to assure confidentiality and a full
hearing of the student's position.

Attendance Policies
Radiology Technology students will follow the absence and tardy policies of Paris Junior
College as discussed in the school catalog, with the following modifications because of
the nature of Radiology Technology:

1. During inclement weather on clinical/classroom days, the student must make


his/her own decision regarding safety for travel to school. A student who decides
not to attend clinical/class because of inclement weather will receive an absence
unless official notification by the college has been made that classes are closed.
2. Any student arriving at the clinical area later than 30 minutes will be given an
absence. Students arriving 30 minutes or less at the clinical area will receive a
tardy. Students missing 60 minutes or less of classroom during a given day will
receive a tardy. Students missing more than 60 minutes will be given an
absence. A tardy or absence such as arriving late or leaving early may occur at
any point during the day. Students may miss up to 60 minutes of clinical and
receive a tardy, with the exception of the 30 minutes arrival rule (i.e. the student
who arrives 15 minutes late to clinical and leaves 45 minutes early from post-
conference would miss 60 minutes or less and receive a tardy).
3. Three (3) tardies = one (1) absence.
4. Permission to enter the clinical/classroom will be left to the discretion of the
clinical/classroom instructor.
A. Students must demonstrate accountability. If a student reports to
clinical/classroom with an illness which may pose a threat to others, he/she
will be dismissed from the clinical area and will receive a clinical absence.
5. Students who are absent will be required to make up the lab/clinical hours.
A. Should the student miss the make-up hours it will be considered an absence.
6. Students missing any time after two (2) absences per course per semester
must, upon return to school, make a request to the Program Coordinator or the
Division Chair of Health Occupations, to discuss absences, and if needed, meet
with the extenuating circumstance committee. The student must provide
supporting evidence to validate the necessity of the absence.

C:\Users\ElaPit\Documents\Syllabi for 101s\Word to convert to PDF\RADR2309 01 101S.doc 
The Extenuating Circumstance Committee
Extenuating Circumstances Committee composed of student, student advocate if
desired, one Radiology faculty and/or course instructor faculty, PJC/staff person,
program coordinator and/or Division Chair of Health Occupations.

1. Students missing any time after two (2) absences per semester must, upon
return to school, make a request to the program coordinator or the Division
Chair of Health Occupations, to meet with the Extenuating Circumstances
Committee. The student must provide supporting evidence to validate the
necessity of the absence. The student may request no more than two (2)
extenuating absence meetings per semester. Any further absences will result in
failure of the program, or withdrawal if prior to the drop date.
A. Automobile maintenance problems, traffic violation occurrences, or other
preventable occurrences are generally not considered extenuating
circumstances.
2. The faculty calling the meeting will write the minutes of the meeting, with copies
for the student, program coordinator, and minutes notebook.
3. An extenuating circumstance may be recorded in writing without a face-to-face
meeting with the student and members of the committee if all members agree
on the circumstances presented by the faculty responsible for the meeting.
4. A physician's physical condition statement may be required to return to clinical.
5 A 2/3 majority vote of the committee will be required for the student request of
extenuating circumstances to be granted.
6. When the decision is made by the committee to allow the student to continue,
the committee may then review other absences or tardies to determine if a
contingency plan should be formulated by the student to help prevent further
time lost.
7. If the Extenuating Circumstance Committee does not agree to allow the student
to continue, this will result in failure of the course.

Procedure for Reporting an Absence or Tardy


When a student must be late or absent from the clinical/classroom, that individual must
notify the clinical area or classroom instructor by telephone. If the assignment is in a
hospital, the agency must be notified as soon as possible.

When calling, the student should attempt to contact the person in charge, but if this
person is unavailable, speak to the next person in line of authority. The student should
then convey his/her message be relayed to the instructor when he/she arrives. The
student must obtain the name and position of the person contacted about the absence.

Failure to comply with the requirements may result in automatic probation. Abuse of
these rules may result in a termination from the program.

The student is required to be present for all scheduled exams. If an exam is missed, the
student will be required to contact the instructor of absence, and schedule the exam.
The exam must be taken by or upon the first class day upon his/her return to class. The

Course # (RADR 2309) – Lauri Redus Page 9 of 20


C:\Users\ElaPit\Documents\Syllabi for 101s\Word to convert to PDF\RADR2309 01 101S.doc 
make-up exam may be an alternative exam.

If all students have taken the test on the scheduled date, the test review may be
performed immediately after the test; however, test grades will not be available until the
next class day. Grades will not be given over the telephone.

Daily grades/pop quizzes may be given at any time during the class periods, and may
consist of take-home assignments or study guides. The daily grade/pop quizzes will be
related to classroom content. No make-up daily grade/pop quiz will be given to a
student who is absent or tardy when a daily grade/pop quiz is given. A student who
misses a daily grade/pop quiz will receive a grade of zero (0) for that quiz.

A student may withdraw with a “W” in any Radiology course if prior to the drop date.

Clinical And/Or Campus Laboratory Grades


In RADR 1266, 1267, 2266, 2366, 2267, and 2367, grades for the clinical and/or
laboratory experience will be based on the number of mastered competencies, an
average of the clinical instructor’s evaluations for the semester, and attendance. The
clinical grade is separate from the classroom grade. A student who withdraws or
receives a failing grade in a didactic course will be required to repeat both the didactic
and the clinical course for the specified semester.

Incomplete or "X" Grades


Should a student receive an incomplete or "X" grade in a Radiology Technology course
or a concurrent support course, and this "X" is not removed by the end of two weeks
into the next semester, he/she may not continue in the Radiology Technology Program.

Student Conferences and Evaluations


Student conferences and evaluations will be held at least twice during any major
grading period (or more if a situation warrants). It is at this time that the student will be
told of his/her weak and strong points. There will be a complete set of records and data
kept on each student. Both the counselor and the student will sign all conferences and
evaluations.

Academic Counseling Services


Either the student or the instructor, or both, may initiate conferences regarding learning
and/or progress in a course. Sometimes concerns or problems of a personal nature
interfere with student learning. When these problems occur, the student should initiate,
or be encouraged to initiate, counseling. Such academic counseling is considered a
crucial part of the learning experience. The student development center (903-782-0426)
is staffed with professional counselors who are available to assist students.

CAMPUS LABORATORY EXPERIENCE


The Radiology Technology laboratories are located at the O. W. Robinson Building,
1128 Clarksville Street, Paris, Texas, and within the Workforce Training Center building,
Room 1026, and are considered to be a learning resource center for the student's use.

Course # (RADR 2309) – Lauri Redus Page 10 of 20


C:\Users\ElaPit\Documents\Syllabi for 101s\Word to convert to PDF\RADR2309 01 101S.doc 
Within the Paris Junior College laboratory /media area (located in the Workforce
Training Center), the student will find a current selection of journals and a complete
selection of audio-visual materials (located in the Health Occupations Office) to
complement learning objectives. Students may also be required to use the Mike
Rheudasil Learning Center. Occasionally classroom instructors will refer students to
audio-visual materials and computer-assisted instruction (CAI). These will be used as
enrichment tools to be reviewed on the students' own time, and/or during assigned
laboratory times.

The Radiology Technology laboratories have an x-ray room. As this area is considered
a learning resource area, it is utilized in the same manner and environment as a library.
The expectations of keeping noise levels down and maintaining an environment
conducive to learning will be expected. It is required that the students take advantage of
these learning opportunities.

The Paris Junior College Learning Resource Center has been designed for student use.
There are a variety of learning experiences available for varied course work.

LABORATORY SKILL EVALUATION


A laboratory skill conference is a scheduled discussion of theory and/or practice of
psychomotor skills in the laboratory setting. These skill conferences are instructor led
with discussion, demonstration, and practice sessions. Students are encouraged to
practice in pairs. These conferences can be of several hours in duration, and are
usually held during clinical laboratory time.

Laboratory Skill Evaluation


While practice time does vary, it must be emphasized that no student should present
himself/herself for skill evaluation unless he/she has practiced at least once. If practice
time is used, every student should be able to master every skill in the course. No
student should present themselves for evaluation until the skill can be performed
according to the skill evaluation tool.

C:\Users\ElaPit\Documents\Syllabi for 101s\Word to convert to PDF\RADR2309 01 101S.doc 
Identified behaviors of unsafe conduct and/or clinical practice will be documented by the
Student Evaluation Form. Unsafe behavior will be analyzed by the faculty team to
determine whether or not a consistent trend in such behavior is identifiable.
Particular attention will be given to behaviors which compromise patient safety and
welfare, and demonstrate unprofessional conduct.

When an unsafe behavior trend is identified, the student will be placed on clinical
probation.
The student will be given specific criteria, in writing, for removal of probation. Failure to
comply with the terms of probation will result in failure of the course.

If an unsafe behavior is severe enough to jeopardize patient safety, the student will be
placed on probation and/or could be immediately dismissed with a “F” from the program
by faculty team decision, whether or not an unsafe trend has been identified.

Identifiable trends in the following behaviors are some examples which may constitute
unsafe practice resulting in clinical probation.

UNSAFE AND UNPROFESSIONAL CLINICAL PRACTICE DEFINED


Unsafe clinical practice shall be deemed to be behaviors demonstrated by the student
which threaten or violate the physical, biological, or emotional safety of the patient
assigned to her/his care.

The following examples, which may serve as guidelines for the student's understanding
of unsafe clinical practices. Examples are not inclusive.

PHYSICAL SAFETY: unsafe behaviors: inappropriate use of side rails, wheelchairs,


positioning straps and equipment, lack of proper protection of the patient which
potentiates falls, lacerations, burns, etc.

BIOLOGICAL SAFETY: unsafe behaviors: fails to recognize errors in aseptic technique,


attends clinical site while ill, performs technical actions without appropriate supervision,
fails to seek help when needed, etc.

EMOTIONAL SAFETY: unsafe behaviors: threatens patient, make patient fearful,


provides patient with inappropriate or incorrect information, fails to seek help when
needed, demonstrates unstable emotional behaviors.

Unprofessional practice shall be deemed to be behaviors demonstrated by the student


which are inappropriate to the student-instructor, student-personnel, or student-patient
interactions which may be taken to be unsafe practice or to reflect negatively upon the
Radiology Technology Program or Paris Junior College.

Examples of unprofessional practice (not inclusive): verbal or non-verbal language,


actions, or voice inflection which compromise rapport or working relations with patients,
family members and/or working relations with clinical affiliates, or constitute violations of

C:\Users\ElaPit\Documents\Syllabi for 101s\Word to convert to PDF\RADR2309 01 101S.doc 
1. A physical examination, including a negative chest x-ray or negative TB skin
test, serology, CBC, and urinalysis are required prior to first class day.
2. Tetanus immunization should have been administered in the past ten (10)
years and must be kept up to date. Rubella or Titer (all ages) must have
had at least one dose since 12 months of age or recent serologic
confirmation validating immunity. Measles (those born after January 1, 1957,
only) must have two doses since 12 months of age. The two doses must be
at least 30 days apart. (History of illness may satisfy one vaccine
requirement, or a present positive serum titer will satisfy all requirements).
Mumps (those born after January 1, 1957, only) must have at least one
dose since 12 months of age or history of illness or recent serologic
validation of immunity. Hepatitis B (all ages) a complete series or proof of
immunity prior to beginning direct client care. Varicella: (all ages) – One
dose of vaccine is required for students who received this vaccine prior to 13
years of age. Two doses are required for students who were not vaccinated
before their 13th birthday. A history of varicella illness (chickenpox) validated
by the student’s parent/guardian, physician or serologic confirmation of
varicella immunity is acceptable in lieu of the vaccine.
3. Paris Junior College and the affiliating agencies are not responsible for any
accident, infectious contact, injury, illness or exacerbation of illness incurred
by a student during the time the student is enrolled in the Radiology
Technology Program.
4. The student who is concerned about exposure to infectious disease is
advised to seek counseling from his/her private physician regarding risks and
precautions appropriate for health care workers.
5. Students with a noncontagious illness or injury may be admitted to, or
choose to continue in health occupations courses. If so, the student must
assume the risk that absenteeism or inability to perform duties related to
learning objectives and health care delivery can result in the necessity of
discontinuing in the program. It is the student's responsibility to obtain and
provide to the instructor continual written permission from the student's
physician.
6. Students are to follow standard (Universal) precautions and practice
preventive measures to maintain a health status.
7. Latex Warning: The use of latex/latex based products may exist in health
care standard precautions and in environments such as, but not limited to,
Health Science classrooms and training labs, hospitals, nursing care
facilities, laboratories, clinical areas, and medical/dental offices. Individuals
with latex sensitivity or allergies should seek expert advice from their health
care provider so that they may receive information to make an informed
decision regarding their exposure to latex in the health care field.

Radiation Monitoring or Dosimetry Device Policy


The Paris Junior College Radiology Program utilizes Optically Stimulated Luminescence
(OSL) dosimetry badges provided by Landauer Company. Students will ALWAYS wear
the radiation badge while in clinical sites. Failure to wear the dosimetry badge is a

Course # (RADR 2309) – Lauri Redus Page 16 of 20


C:\Users\ElaPit\Documents\Syllabi for 101s\Word to convert to PDF\RADR2309 01 101S.doc 
breach of the dress code.

The dosimetry badge provided by Paris Junior College will not be worn during outside
clinical hours. Students employed in Radiology areas must be provided a dosimetry
badge by the employer. Dosimetry will be exchanged on a monthly basis.

Dosimetry reports will be maintained in the program coordinator’s office. A copy of the
dosimetry report will be placed in the student’s permanent file.

Tampering with other students OSL dosimetry badge will result in dismissal from the
program

Failure of the student to exchange the badge (regardless of it being lost or forgotten) will
result on a lowering of the Clinical Grade by one full letter grade at the end of the
semester. Three (3) incidences of lost or forgotten OSLs will result in dismissal from the
program. If the badge is lost or stolen a written explanation must be furnished to the
Program Coordinator. This written explanation will be maintained in the students file.

If the radiation report for a student is excessive, the student will be counseled to
determine the cause of the excessive exposure. The student will be placed in a low
radiation work area until the problem is resolved.

With Texas being an agreement state with the NRC, the radiation protection aspect of
the radiology program complies with 25 Texas Administrative Code 289.231 – General
Provisions and Standards for Protection Against Machine-Produced Radiation.

ALARA – the student will practice ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

Excessive Exposure Report


If a radiation report for a student is excessive, the student will be counseled to
determine the cause of the excessive exposure. If the report continues to show an
increase in exposure, the student will be placed in a low radiation work area until the
problem is resolved.

Guidelines for this policy come from 25 Texas Administrative Code 289.231, General
Provisions and Standards for Protection Against Machine Produced Radiation.

A report will be made by the program coordinator and will include as a minimum:
1. the extent of exposure
2. the cause of the elevated exposure
3. corrective steps taken or planned to ensure against a recurrence, including
the schedule for achieving conformance with applicable limits, and associated
conditions.

This report will include the individual’s name, social security number, and date of birth.
At completion, this report will be placed in the student's permanent record.

An Excessive Exposure is any exposure in excess of 10% of the annual limits is
subsection (m) (1) of 25 Texas Administrative Code 289.231, pg 14.

An Excessive Exposure for a declared pregnant woman is any exposure in excess of


0.1 rem.

Film Badge Policy


The Paris Junior College Radiology Program provides all radiology students dosimetry
badges with the Optically Stimulated Luminescence (OSL) technology provided by
Landauer.

These OSL dosimetry devices are on a monthly basis.

Students receive their badges in the second semester of the program prior to attending
clinical rotation.

Student dosimetry reports are kept in the program coordinator’s office and a copy of the
student’s individual report will be placed into the student’s permanent file.

With Texas being an agreement state with the NRC, the radiation protection aspect of
the radiology program complies with 25 Texas Administrative Code 289.231 – General
Provisions and Standards for Protection Against Machine-Produced Radiation.

Pregnancy
Students have the option of informing the program Division Chair, in writing, of a
pregnancy. It is recommended that the student inform the Program Coordinator and/or
the Clinical Coordinator immediately upon learning of the pregnancy so that the student
may be counseled regarding her and her baby’s radiation protection. The student is
encouraged to read the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Guide 8.13 “Instructions
Concerning Prenatal Radiation Exposure”. A dosimetry badge will be ordered for the
fetus and student’s clinical experience may be modified from any rotation in
which a heavy fluoroscopy load exists until after the first trimester. Pregnant students
will receive no more than an 0.5 rem of radiation exposure during the entire gestation
period. The student MUST provide a written statement from her physician stating that
the student may participate in all radiologic procedures. If the physician will not release
the student, she will be REQUIRED to withdraw from the program.

The pregnant student will be required to function as a normal, healthy student in ALL
assigned radiographic areas, including lifting patients, and transportation. No “light duty
assignments” will be made. If her and/or her physician’s opinions differ from this policy,
the student will be required to withdraw from the program. All female students will sign
an agreement of understanding concerning pregnancy and radiation protection prior to
acceptance. The agreement simply explains this policy and the prospective student
understands the policy.

Course # (RADR 2309) – Lauri Redus Page 18 of 20


C:\Users\ElaPit\Documents\Syllabi for 101s\Word to convert to PDF\RADR2309 01 101S.doc 
If the student does not inform the program of her pregnancy in writing, the student will
be considered to not be pregnant regardless of overt signs, the above measures cannot
be taken. These measures are all for the benefit of the student and the baby. Without
the cooperation, the approved, usual and standard safety precautions cannot be
implemented.

In order for the student to maintain a good standing in the program after the baby’s
birth, the pregnant student must begin “banking” clinical hours so that she may have a
maximum of 6 weeks of absences from the Practicum course. The student will supply
her class schedule (clinical and academic) and a written plan for accumulating bank
hours to the clinical coordinator. The student may schedule no more than forty
hours per week of TOTAL classroom, clinical and bank hours. This schedule will
need to be revised each semester according to the student’s schedule and must be
approved by the clinical coordinator. The “bank hours” must be scheduled only at times
in which proper supervision is available. Students will not receive credit for time
spent at clinicals that were not scheduled. All rules of conduct and attendance will
apply while the student is accumulating bank hours. Bank and make-up times are all
subject to the same rules as regular clinical time. Students who fail to bank adequate
hours to cover post partum absences (including in the event of c-section birth) will not
be allowed to return to clinicals, and will be allowed to re-enter in the same semester in
the following year if space is available.

A dosimetry badge will be ordered for the fetus, and the student will be required to wear
it at waist level under the lead apron. The cost of the fetal badge must be paid for by
the student once the pregnancy is declared. The student will attend classes on campus
two- (2) weeks post partum and begin Practicum six- (6) weeks post partum. A letter
from her physician allowing this will be required. The student may return earlier if her
physician consents. The student should not expect nor receive any other
considerations or special treatment from the program. The student’s radiation
exposure will be continuously monitored to insure that the maximum permissible dose of
500 mr is not exceeded. If the student exceeds the maximum permissible dose, she will
be withdrawn from the program. All attendance, absence, and make-up policies will be
equally enforced. All declared pregnant students must sign the Student Declared
Pregnancy Form. (

Criminal Background Checks/Urine Drug Screen


Students may be required to submit to drug screen tests and criminal background
checks as required by clinical facilities. Paris Junior College will follow practice and
procedures of each facility regarding results. Students with positive drug screens will not
be allowed to attend clinical resulting in failure of the course. Students with positive
background checks will follow the practice and procedures of each facility being utilized
by PJC Radiology Technology students.

academic advisor will assist the student as needed in scheduling courses.

Radiology Technology courses must follow the sequence as given in the college
catalog.

Each student will have a Radiology Technology degree plan prepared in consultation
with his/her academic advisor or the Division Chair/or Program Coordinator of
Radiology Technology Program. It is the responsibility of each student to see that
he/she progresses through his/her degree plan as outlined, or arrange appropriate
deviation from this plan with the Division Chair/or Program Coordinator of Radiology
Technology Program.

In order to continue and progress in the Radiology Technology Program the student's
work must remain satisfactory in the following areas:
1. Maintain a 2.0 average in total course work.
2. Completion of required academic courses.
3. Maintain 2.0 or better grades in each of the Radiology Technology Program
courses.
4. Evidence of satisfactory clinical performance at the end of each semester based
on the criteria for the semester.

Withdrawal, Probation, and Dismissal Policies


Withdrawal
A student may withdraw from a Radiology Technology course by using the procedure
outlined in the Paris Junior College Catalog following counsel with his/her instructors
and/or the Division Chair/or Program Coordinator of the Radiology Technology
Program. After withdrawing from a Radiology Technology course, a student must
reapply for admission to the Radiology Technology Program in order to enroll in any
subsequent Radiology Technology course.
The student must initiate the withdrawal procedure with the instructor prior to the
withdrawal date or a grade of "F" will be recorded for the total semester hours of the
dropped Radiology Technology course.

Unsatisfactory Progress In A Course


Contract for Improvement
Students who have unsatisfactory classroom/clinical performance will have a student
conference scheduled, be given written notification and a plan for improvement will be
completed. If the student does not show improvement, the probation status will be
implemented.

Clinical performance needing improvement or clinical performance that is unsatisfactory


will be specified in the documentation. If the student does not show improvement, the
probation status will be implemented. A student may be placed on probation at the
faculty team's decision without preliminary remediation.

Probationary Status:

Course # (RADR 2367) – Karen Powers Page 6 of 20


C:\Users\ElaPit\Documents\Syllabi for 101s\Word to convert to PDF\RADR2367 01 101S.doc 
Probationary criteria will be written in the form of behavioral/clinical objectives and
recorded in the document entitled "Report of Unsatisfactory Progress/Probation Form".
A time frame for review of status will be specified. The terms of probation will be
discussed with the student and validated by the signatures of the course instructor and
the student.

At the end of the specified term of probation, the student's status is reviewed by the
program faculty. This review will be recorded on the document entitled, "Report of
Status Review". If the probation criteria has been met, the student's probation is lifted.
Failure to meet probationary criteria may result in failure of the course at the faculty
team’s decision. Probation will be contained within each course.

Dismissal
Any student may be dismissed from the program without a probationary period if the
student shows gross negligence, unsafe care, lack of personal or professional integrity,
breach of patient confidentiality, or commits a criminal act.

"Unsafe care" is defined as any act of omission or commission which places the
client(s) in jeopardy of negative changes in health status.

Personal integrity as well as concern for the welfare of patients are personal attributes
that are absolutely essential for those entering the Radiology Technology profession.
Actions taken and attitudes expressed while in the student role are considered
indicative of behaviors to be expected of the graduate. The student will be given the
opportunity to discuss the incident(s) with the course team faculty.

Grounds for Immediate Dismissal From Program


A student may be subject to immediate dismissal from the Radiology Technology
Program and failure of the course in the following situations:

a. Failure to maintain patient safety resulting in injury to the patient.


b. A medication error which results in injury to the patient.
c. The practice of academic dishonesty such as cheating on preparation for clinical,
and on tests or written assignments (both parties), making false entries in a record.
d. The use of alcohol, illegal drugs, or misuse of prescription or any other drugs during
school activities or on school property, or reporting to class/clinical under the
influence of alcohol or illegal drugs.
e. Appropriating, in connection with the practice of Radiology Technology, medication,
supplies, equipment, or personal items of the patient/client, employer, or any other
person or entity. (This includes accepting remuneration, gifts, etc.)

Procedure for Dismissal


STEP 1. Dismissal from the program will be initiated by the faculty and program
coordinator with prior notification of the Division Chair of Health Occupations. If
the Division Chair is absent, the Vice President of Workforce Education must
be notified prior to dismissal.

Course # (RADR 2367) – Karen Powers Page 7 of 20


C:\Users\ElaPit\Documents\Syllabi for 101s\Word to convert to PDF\RADR2367 01 101S.doc 
STEP 2. The program coordinator and instructor will meet with the student to inform
him/her that they are initiating the procedure. If the program coordinator is the
instructor, another faculty member will be present.

STEP 3. If the student wishes to contest this decision, he/she must file a Request of
Grievance Conference with the Program Coordinator. (Appendix XVI).

Grievance Procedure
Problems of an individual or of a personal nature should be handled in the following
ways: A student may formally express dissatisfaction with his/her progress in the
Radiology Technology Program. Grade disputes should be resolved at the lowest level
possible (i.e., the instructor and student). Recognizing that this is not always possible,
the following procedure has been adopted as policy for resolving grade and course
progress disputes. The steps have been defined to facilitate resolution at the lowest
level and in that interest; the order of steps will at no time be violated. The grievance
procedure must be initiated within two (2) working days of the incident by which time the
student must initiate a "Request of Grievance Conference" with the program coordinator
or Division Chair of Health Occupations if the team leader is not available.

STEP 1. The student should request an appointment to discuss the case with the
faculty and the program coordinator. If a satisfactory decision still has not been
reached, the student may request to meet with the Division Chair of the Health
Occupations within five (5) working days.
STEP 2. If resolution of the grievance has not been reached under the guidance of the
Division Chair within five (5) working days, the student may request an
appointment with representative members of the faculty-as-a-whole within five
(5) working days. The faculty vote will be taken by ballot and tallied by the
Division Chair and a PJC non-Radiology Technology faculty/staff member.
Failure will require a two-thirds majority vote of the faculty. The conference will
be recorded on tape and on a Grievance Conference Report form, a copy of
which goes to the student and the original placed in the Confidential File.
STEP 3. If resolution of the grievance has not been reached under the guidance of the
Division Chair within five (5) working days, the student may request an
appointment within five (5) working days with the Vice President of Workforce
Education to present his/her case.

Access to Confidential File


The CONFIDENTIAL FILE will be kept in the office of the Division Chair of Health
Occupations. Access to the file will be controlled by the Division Chair and limited to the
course faculty directly involved in the particular grievance, and the Vice President of
Workforce Education.

The procedures in this policy have been set up to assure confidentiality and a full
hearing of the student's position.

Attendance Policies
Radiology Technology students will follow the absence and tardy policies of Paris Junior
College as discussed in the school catalog, with the following modifications because of
the nature of Radiology Technology:

1. During inclement weather on clinical/classroom days, the student must make


his/her own decision regarding safety for travel to school. A student who decides
not to attend clinical/class because of inclement weather will receive an absence
unless official notification by the college has been made that classes are closed.
2. Any student arriving at the clinical area later than 30 minutes will be given an
absence. Students arriving 30 minutes or less at the clinical area will receive a
tardy. Students missing 60 minutes or less of classroom during a given day will
receive a tardy. Students missing more than 60 minutes will be given an
absence. A tardy or absence such as arriving late or leaving early may occur at
any point during the day. Students may miss up to 60 minutes of clinical and
receive a tardy, with the exception of the 30 minutes arrival rule (i.e. the student
who arrives 15 minutes late to clinical and leaves 45 minutes early from post-
conference would miss 60 minutes or less and receive a tardy).
3. Three (3) tardies = one (1) absence.
4. Permission to enter the clinical/classroom will be left to the discretion of the
clinical/classroom instructor.
A. Students must demonstrate accountability. If a student reports to
clinical/classroom with an illness which may pose a threat to others, he/she
will be dismissed from the clinical area and will receive a clinical absence.
5. Students who are absent will be required to make up the lab/clinical hours.
A. Should the student miss the make-up hours it will be considered an absence.
6. Students missing any time after two (2) absences per course per semester
must, upon return to school, make a request to the Program Coordinator or the
Division Chair of Health Occupations, to discuss absences, and if needed, meet
with the extenuating circumstance committee. The student must provide
supporting evidence to validate the necessity of the absence.

The Extenuating Circumstance Committee


Extenuating Circumstances Committee composed of student, student advocate if
desired, one Radiology faculty and/or course instructor faculty, PJC/staff person,
program coordinator and/or Division Chair of Health Occupations.

1. Students missing any time after two (2) absences per semester must, upon
return to school, make a request to the program coordinator or the Division
Chair of Health Occupations, to meet with the Extenuating Circumstances
Committee. The student must provide supporting evidence to validate the
necessity of the absence. The student may request no more than two (2)
extenuating absence meetings per semester. Any further absences will result in
failure of the program, or withdrawal if prior to the drop date.
A. Automobile maintenance problems, traffic violation occurrences, or other
preventable occurrences are generally not considered extenuating

Course # (RADR 2367) – Karen Powers Page 9 of 20


C:\Users\ElaPit\Documents\Syllabi for 101s\Word to convert to PDF\RADR2367 01 101S.doc 
circumstances.
2. The faculty calling the meeting will write the minutes of the meeting, with copies
for the student, program coordinator, and minutes notebook.
3. An extenuating circumstance may be recorded in writing without a face-to-face
meeting with the student and members of the committee if all members agree
on the circumstances presented by the faculty responsible for the meeting.
4. A physician's physical condition statement may be required to return to clinical.
5 A 2/3 majority vote of the committee will be required for the student request of
extenuating circumstances to be granted.
6. When the decision is made by the committee to allow the student to continue,
the committee may then review other absences or tardies to determine if a
contingency plan should be formulated by the student to help prevent further
time lost.
7. If the Extenuating Circumstance Committee does not agree to allow the student
to continue, this will result in failure of the course.

Procedure for Reporting an Absence or Tardy


When a student must be late or absent from the clinical/classroom, that individual must
notify the clinical area or classroom instructor by telephone. If the assignment is in a
hospital, the agency must be notified as soon as possible.

When calling, the student should attempt to contact the person in charge, but if this
person is unavailable, speak to the next person in line of authority. The student should
then convey his/her message be relayed to the instructor when he/she arrives. The
student must obtain the name and position of the person contacted about the absence.

Failure to comply with the requirements may result in automatic probation. Abuse of
these rules may result in a termination from the program.

The student is required to be present for all scheduled exams. If an exam is missed, the
student will be required to contact the instructor of absence, and schedule the exam.
The exam must be taken by or upon the first class day upon his/her return to class. The
make-up exam may be an alternative exam.

If all students have taken the test on the scheduled date, the test review may be
performed immediately after the test; however, test grades will not be available until the
next class day. Grades will not be given over the telephone.

Daily grades/pop quizzes may be given at any time during the class periods, and may
consist of take-home assignments or study guides. The daily grade/pop quizzes will be
related to classroom content. No make-up daily grade/pop quiz will be given to a
student who is absent or tardy when a daily grade/pop quiz is given. A student who
misses a daily grade/pop quiz will receive a grade of zero (0) for that quiz.

A student may withdraw with a “W” in any Radiology course if prior to the drop date.

Clinical And/Or Campus Laboratory Grades
In RADR 1266, 1267, 2266, 2366, 2267, and 2367, grades for the clinical and/or
laboratory experience will be based on the number of mastered competencies, an
average of the clinical instructor’s evaluations for the semester, and attendance. The
clinical grade is separate from the classroom grade. A student who withdraws or
receives a failing grade in a didactic course will be required to repeat both the didactic
and the clinical course for the specified semester.

Incomplete or "X" Grades


Should a student receive an incomplete or "X" grade in a Radiology Technology course
or a concurrent support course, and this "X" is not removed by the end of two weeks
into the next semester, he/she may not continue in the Radiology Technology Program.

Student Conferences and Evaluations


Student conferences and evaluations will be held at least twice during any major
grading period (or more if a situation warrants). It is at this time that the student will be
told of his/her weak and strong points. There will be a complete set of records and data
kept on each student. Both the counselor and the student will sign all conferences and
evaluations.

Academic Counseling Services


Either the student or the instructor, or both, may initiate conferences regarding learning
and/or progress in a course. Sometimes concerns or problems of a personal nature
interfere with student learning. When these problems occur, the student should initiate,
or be encouraged to initiate, counseling. Such academic counseling is considered a
crucial part of the learning experience. The student development center (903-782-0426)
is staffed with professional counselors who are available to assist students.

CAMPUS LABORATORY EXPERIENCE


The Radiology Technology laboratories are located at the O. W. Robinson Building,
1128 Clarksville Street, Paris, Texas, and within the Workforce Training Center building,
Room 1026, and are considered to be a learning resource center for the student's use.

Within the Paris Junior College laboratory /media area (located in the Workforce
Training Center), the student will find a current selection of journals and a complete
selection of audio-visual materials (located in the Health Occupations Office) to
complement learning objectives. Students may also be required to use the Mike
Rheudasil Learning Center. Occasionally classroom instructors will refer students to
audio-visual materials and computer-assisted instruction (CAI). These will be used as
enrichment tools to be reviewed on the students' own time, and/or during assigned
laboratory times.

The Radiology Technology laboratories have an x-ray room. As this area is considered
a learning resource area, it is utilized in the same manner and environment as a library.
The expectations of keeping noise levels down and maintaining an environment
conducive to learning will be expected. It is required that the students take advantage of

C:\Users\ElaPit\Documents\Syllabi for 101s\Word to convert to PDF\RADR2367 01 101S.doc 
these learning opportunities.

The Paris Junior College Learning Resource Center has been designed for student use.
There are a variety of learning experiences available for varied course work.

LABORATORY SKILL EVALUATION


A laboratory skill conference is a scheduled discussion of theory and/or practice of
psychomotor skills in the laboratory setting. These skill conferences are instructor led
with discussion, demonstration, and practice sessions. Students are encouraged to
practice in pairs. These conferences can be of several hours in duration, and are
usually held during clinical laboratory time.

Laboratory Skill Evaluation


While practice time does vary, it must be emphasized that no student should present
himself/herself for skill evaluation unless he/she has practiced at least once. If practice
time is used, every student should be able to master every skill in the course. No
student should present themselves for evaluation until the skill can be performed
according to the skill evaluation tool.

Time frames for completion of skills will be established by the instructor. At the
completion of each evaluation period the competency log form will be updated.
Guidelines for Campus Laboratory Use
1. The laboratory is available for student use during specified hours.
2. Each student is responsible for replacing supplies and/or equipment in the proper
place after use.
3. Any items which are defective should be reported to the faculty. This is to assure that
as many items as possible may be kept available for student use.
4. Required skill evaluations must be completed within the time designated by the
instructors.
5. There will be no smoking or visitors in the laboratory.
6. Misuse of the laboratories, equipment and/or materials will be documented and
placed in the student's file.

Lab Safety Protocol


1. Do not use damaged electrical cords or equipment. Report damaged equipment to
the faculty.
2. Use only manikins or fellow students for practice for radiographic simulations.
3. Use blood and body fluid standard precautions in the lab and clinical areas.
4. Equipment may be cleaned as instructed by the faculty. Proper use of these
substances are to be followed according to the manufacturer's directions as noted on
the label for each agent with respect to directions for safe use, product warnings and
precautions. READ LABELS.
5. Practice of any invasive procedure is to be done only with manikins in the lab. This
includes procedures such as: insertion of any tube and injections.
6. To reinforce utilization of Standard Precautions in the actual practice setting, students
should at all times use protective apparatus such as gloves, goggles, gowns, masks,

Course # (RADR 2367) – Karen Powers Page 12 of 20


C:\Users\ElaPit\Documents\Syllabi for 101s\Word to convert to PDF\RADR2367 01 101S.doc 
etc., as appropriate when working in the lab.
7. Report any accident or injury to instructor immediately. Campus security is to be
notified in emergency situations or injury. A PJC accident report must be completed
and filed on the same day. Forms may be obtained from the Health Occupations
Department.

CLINICAL EXPERIENCE
Clinical experience may be scheduled at any time during the 24-hour day on any of the
seven days of the week and may be scheduled in out-lying facilities to assure a
satisfactory clinical experience.

CPR certification, immunizations and any required medical screenings, must be current
prior to entering any semester clinical experiences.

Uniforms will consist of: 2nd year student-Caribbean blue top and pants; 1st year
student-Caribbean blue top and white pants. Solid white shirt may be worn under the
top. Shoes will be predominately white.
Documentation of the clinical experience is recorded in the Student Journal.

Instructors may be contacted through the Health Occupations Department Office (903-
782-0734).

Instructors will be accessible to students during assigned clinical experiences. It is the


student's responsibility to seek instructor assistance when needed or in cases where the
student is uncertain about his/her ability to perform a particular procedure.

Invasive Procedures
The student may only give contrast mediums under direct supervision. The student
may not perform any invasive procedures unless permission is given by the clinical
instructor.

Documented Trends of Unsafe Conduct and/or Practice


Identified behaviors of unsafe conduct and/or clinical practice will be documented by the
Student Evaluation Form. Unsafe behavior will be analyzed by the faculty team to
determine whether or not a consistent trend in such behavior is identifiable.
Particular attention will be given to behaviors which compromise patient safety and
welfare, and demonstrate unprofessional conduct.

When an unsafe behavior trend is identified, the student will be placed on clinical
probation.
The student will be given specific criteria, in writing, for removal of probation. Failure to
comply with the terms of probation will result in failure of the course.

If an unsafe behavior is severe enough to jeopardize patient safety, the student will be
placed on probation and/or could be immediately dismissed with a “F” from the program
by faculty team decision, whether or not an unsafe trend has been identified.

Course # (RADR 2367) – Karen Powers Page 13 of 20


C:\Users\ElaPit\Documents\Syllabi for 101s\Word to convert to PDF\RADR2367 01 101S.doc 
Identifiable trends in the following behaviors are some examples which may constitute
unsafe practice resulting in clinical probation.

UNSAFE AND UNPROFESSIONAL CLINICAL PRACTICE DEFINED


Unsafe clinical practice shall be deemed to be behaviors demonstrated by the student
which threaten or violate the physical, biological, or emotional safety of the patient
assigned to her/his care.

The following examples, which may serve as guidelines for the student's understanding
of unsafe clinical practices. Examples are not inclusive.

PHYSICAL SAFETY: unsafe behaviors: inappropriate use of side rails, wheelchairs,


positioning straps and equipment, lack of proper protection of the patient which
potentiates falls, lacerations, burns, etc.

BIOLOGICAL SAFETY: unsafe behaviors: fails to recognize errors in aseptic technique,


attends clinical site while ill, performs technical actions without appropriate supervision,
fails to seek help when needed, etc.

EMOTIONAL SAFETY: unsafe behaviors: threatens patient, make patient fearful,


provides patient with inappropriate or incorrect information, fails to seek help when
needed, demonstrates unstable emotional behaviors.

Unprofessional practice shall be deemed to be behaviors demonstrated by the student


which are inappropriate to the student-instructor, student-personnel, or student-patient
interactions which may be taken to be unsafe practice or to reflect negatively upon the
Radiology Technology Program or Paris Junior College.

Examples of unprofessional practice (not inclusive): verbal or non-verbal language,


actions, or voice inflection which compromise rapport or working relations with patients,
family members and/or working relations with clinical affiliates, or constitute violations of
legal or ethical standards.

Trends of unsafe performance will require documentation on the Student Conference


Form which is signed by the student during counseling with the instructor.
Documentation becomes a part of the student's permanent file.

Clinical Forms
The student will record procedures observed in their clinical area in Student Journals
and have it initialed by the clinical instructor. The instructor who observes the students'
performance will evaluate their performance utilizing the Clinical Instructor Evaluation of
Student Form.

Progress Analysis and Summative Evaluation


Students will receive a progress report midway through the semester and at the end of

years of age. Two doses are required for students who were not vaccinated
before their 13th birthday. A history of varicella illness (chickenpox) validated
by the student’s parent/guardian, physician or serologic confirmation of
varicella immunity is acceptable in lieu of the vaccine.
3. Paris Junior College and the affiliating agencies are not responsible for any
accident, infectious contact, injury, illness or exacerbation of illness incurred
by a student during the time the student is enrolled in the Radiology
Technology Program.
4. The student who is concerned about exposure to infectious disease is
advised to seek counseling from his/her private physician regarding risks and
precautions appropriate for health care workers.
5. Students with a noncontagious illness or injury may be admitted to, or
choose to continue in health occupations courses. If so, the student must
assume the risk that absenteeism or inability to perform duties related to
learning objectives and health care delivery can result in the necessity of
discontinuing in the program. It is the student's responsibility to obtain and
provide to the instructor continual written permission from the student's
physician.
6. Students are to follow standard (Universal) precautions and practice
preventive measures to maintain a health status.
7. Latex Warning: The use of latex/latex based products may exist in health
care standard precautions and in environments such as, but not limited to,
Health Science classrooms and training labs, hospitals, nursing care
facilities, laboratories, clinical areas, and medical/dental offices. Individuals
with latex sensitivity or allergies should seek expert advice from their health
care provider so that they may receive information to make an informed
decision regarding their exposure to latex in the health care field.

Radiation Monitoring or Dosimetry Device Policy


The Paris Junior College Radiology Program utilizes Optically Stimulated Luminescence
(OSL) dosimetry badges provided by Landauer Company. Students will ALWAYS wear
the radiation badge while in clinical sites. Failure to wear the dosimetry badge is a
breach of the dress code.

The dosimetry badge provided by Paris Junior College will not be worn during outside
clinical hours. Students employed in Radiology areas must be provided a dosimetry
badge by the employer. Dosimetry will be exchanged on a monthly basis.

Dosimetry reports will be maintained in the program coordinator’s office. A copy of the
dosimetry report will be placed in the student’s permanent file.

Tampering with other students OSL dosimetry badge will result in dismissal from the
program

Failure of the student to exchange the badge (regardless of it being lost or forgotten) will
result on a lowering of the Clinical Grade by one full letter grade at the end of the

Course # (RADR 2367) – Karen Powers Page 17 of 20


C:\Users\ElaPit\Documents\Syllabi for 101s\Word to convert to PDF\RADR2367 01 101S.doc 
semester. Three (3) incidences of lost or forgotten OSLs will result in dismissal from the
program. If the badge is lost or stolen a written explanation must be furnished to the
Program Coordinator. This written explanation will be maintained in the students file.

If the radiation report for a student is excessive, the student will be counseled to
determine the cause of the excessive exposure. The student will be placed in a low
radiation work area until the problem is resolved.

With Texas being an agreement state with the NRC, the radiation protection aspect of
the radiology program complies with 25 Texas Administrative Code 289.231 – General
Provisions and Standards for Protection Against Machine-Produced Radiation.

ALARA – the student will practice ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

Excessive Exposure Report


If a radiation report for a student is excessive, the student will be counseled to
determine the cause of the excessive exposure. If the report continues to show an
increase in exposure, the student will be placed in a low radiation work area until the
problem is resolved.

Guidelines for this policy come from 25 Texas Administrative Code 289.231, General
Provisions and Standards for Protection Against Machine Produced Radiation.

A report will be made by the program coordinator and will include as a minimum:
1. the extent of exposure
2. the cause of the elevated exposure
3. corrective steps taken or planned to ensure against a recurrence, including
the schedule for achieving conformance with applicable limits, and associated
conditions.

This report will include the individual’s name, social security number, and date of birth.
At completion, this report will be placed in the student's permanent record.

An Excessive Exposure is any exposure in excess of 10% of the annual limits is


subsection (m) (1) of 25 Texas Administrative Code 289.231, pg 14.

An Excessive Exposure for a declared pregnant woman is any exposure in excess of


0.1 rem.

Film Badge Policy


The Paris Junior College Radiology Program provides all radiology students dosimetry
badges with the Optically Stimulated Luminescence (OSL) technology provided by
Landauer.

These OSL dosimetry devices are on a monthly basis.

Students receive their badges in the second semester of the program prior to attending
clinical rotation.

Student dosimetry reports are kept in the program coordinator’s office and a copy of the
student’s individual report will be placed into the student’s permanent file.

With Texas being an agreement state with the NRC, the radiation protection aspect of
the radiology program complies with 25 Texas Administrative Code 289.231 – General
Provisions and Standards for Protection Against Machine-Produced Radiation.

Pregnancy
Students have the option of informing the program Division Chair, in writing, of a
pregnancy. It is recommended that the student inform the Program Coordinator and/or
the Clinical Coordinator immediately upon learning of the pregnancy so that the student
may be counseled regarding her and her baby’s radiation protection. The student is
encouraged to read the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Guide 8.13 “Instructions
Concerning Prenatal Radiation Exposure”. A dosimetry badge will be ordered for the
fetus and student’s clinical experience may be modified from any rotation in
which a heavy fluoroscopy load exists until after the first trimester. Pregnant students
will receive no more than an 0.5 rem of radiation exposure during the entire gestation
period. The student MUST provide a written statement from her physician stating that
the student may participate in all radiologic procedures. If the physician will not release
the student, she will be REQUIRED to withdraw from the program.

The pregnant student will be required to function as a normal, healthy student in ALL
assigned radiographic areas, including lifting patients, and transportation. No “light duty
assignments” will be made. If her and/or her physician’s opinions differ from this policy,
the student will be required to withdraw from the program. All female students will sign
an agreement of understanding concerning pregnancy and radiation protection prior to
acceptance. The agreement simply explains this policy and the prospective student
understands the policy.

If the student does not inform the program of her pregnancy in writing, the student will
be considered to not be pregnant regardless of overt signs, the above measures cannot
be taken. These measures are all for the benefit of the student and the baby. Without
the cooperation, the approved, usual and standard safety precautions cannot be
implemented.

In order for the student to maintain a good standing in the program after the baby’s
birth, the pregnant student must begin “banking” clinical hours so that she may have a
maximum of 6 weeks of absences from the Practicum course. The student will supply
her class schedule (clinical and academic) and a written plan for accumulating bank
hours to the clinical coordinator. The student may schedule no more than forty
hours per week of TOTAL classroom, clinical and bank hours. This schedule will
need to be revised each semester according to the student’s schedule and must be
approved by the clinical coordinator. The “bank hours” must be scheduled only at times

Course # (RADR 2367) – Karen Powers Page 19 of 20


C:\Users\ElaPit\Documents\Syllabi for 101s\Word to convert to PDF\RADR2367 01 101S.doc 
in which proper supervision is available. Students will not receive credit for time
spent at clinicals that were not scheduled. All rules of conduct and attendance will
apply while the student is accumulating bank hours. Bank and make-up times are all
subject to the same rules as regular clinical time. Students who fail to bank adequate
hours to cover post partum absences (including in the event of c-section birth) will not
be allowed to return to clinicals, and will be allowed to re-enter in the same semester in
the following year if space is available.

A dosimetry badge will be ordered for the fetus, and the student will be required to wear
it at waist level under the lead apron. The cost of the fetal badge must be paid for by
the student once the pregnancy is declared. The student will attend classes on campus
two- (2) weeks post partum and begin Practicum six- (6) weeks post partum. A letter
from her physician allowing this will be required. The student may return earlier if her
physician consents. The student should not expect nor receive any other
considerations or special treatment from the program. The student’s radiation
exposure will be continuously monitored to insure that the maximum permissible dose of
500 mr is not exceeded. If the student exceeds the maximum permissible dose, she will
be withdrawn from the program. All attendance, absence, and make-up policies will be
equally enforced. All declared pregnant students must sign the Student Declared
Pregnancy Form. (

Criminal Background Checks/Urine Drug Screen


Students may be required to submit to drug screen tests and criminal background
checks as required by clinical facilities. Paris Junior College will follow practice and
procedures of each facility regarding results. Students with positive drug screens will not
be allowed to attend clinical resulting in failure of the course. Students with positive
background checks will follow the practice and procedures of each facility being utilized
by PJC Radiology Technology students.

C:\Users\ElaPit\Documents\Syllabi for 101s\Word to convert to PDF\RADR2431 01 101S.doc 
Radiology Technology courses must follow the sequence as given in the college
catalog.

Each student will have a Radiology Technology degree plan prepared in consultation
with his/her academic advisor or the Division Chair/or Program Coordinator of
Radiology Technology Program. It is the responsibility of each student to see that
he/she progresses through his/her degree plan as outlined, or arrange appropriate
deviation from this plan with the Division Chair/or Program Coordinator of Radiology
Technology Program.

In order to continue and progress in the Radiology Technology Program the student's
work must remain satisfactory in the following areas:
1. Maintain a 2.0 average in total course work.
2. Completion of required academic courses.
3. Maintain 2.0 or better grades in each of the Radiology Technology Program
courses.
4. Evidence of satisfactory clinical performance at the end of each semester based
on the criteria for the semester.

Withdrawal, Probation, and Dismissal Policies


Withdrawal
A student may withdraw from a Radiology Technology course by using the procedure
outlined in the Paris Junior College Catalog following counsel with his/her instructors
and/or the Division Chair/or Program Coordinator of the Radiology Technology
Program. After withdrawing from a Radiology Technology course, a student must
reapply for admission to the Radiology Technology Program in order to enroll in any
subsequent Radiology Technology course.
The student must initiate the withdrawal procedure with the instructor prior to the
withdrawal date or a grade of "F" will be recorded for the total semester hours of the
dropped Radiology Technology course.

Unsatisfactory Progress In A Course


Contract for Improvement
Students who have unsatisfactory classroom/clinical performance will have a student
conference scheduled, be given written notification and a plan for improvement will be
completed. If the student does not show improvement, the probation status will be
implemented.

Clinical performance needing improvement or clinical performance that is unsatisfactory


will be specified in the documentation. If the student does not show improvement, the
probation status will be implemented. A student may be placed on probation at the
faculty team's decision without preliminary remediation.

Probationary Status:
Probationary criteria will be written in the form of behavioral/clinical objectives and
recorded in the document entitled "Report of Unsatisfactory Progress/Probation Form".

Course # (RADR 2431) – Karen Powers Page 6 of 20


C:\Users\ElaPit\Documents\Syllabi for 101s\Word to convert to PDF\RADR2431 01 101S.doc 
A time frame for review of status will be specified. The terms of probation will be
discussed with the student and validated by the signatures of the course instructor and
the student.

At the end of the specified term of probation, the student's status is reviewed by the
program faculty. This review will be recorded on the document entitled, "Report of
Status Review". If the probation criteria has been met, the student's probation is lifted.
Failure to meet probationary criteria may result in failure of the course at the faculty
team’s decision. Probation will be contained within each course.

Dismissal
Any student may be dismissed from the program without a probationary period if the
student shows gross negligence, unsafe care, lack of personal or professional integrity,
breach of patient confidentiality, or commits a criminal act.

"Unsafe care" is defined as any act of omission or commission which places the
client(s) in jeopardy of negative changes in health status.

Personal integrity as well as concern for the welfare of patients are personal attributes
that are absolutely essential for those entering the Radiology Technology profession.
Actions taken and attitudes expressed while in the student role are considered
indicative of behaviors to be expected of the graduate. The student will be given the
opportunity to discuss the incident(s) with the course team faculty.

Grounds for Immediate Dismissal From Program


A student may be subject to immediate dismissal from the Radiology Technology
Program and failure of the course in the following situations:

a. Failure to maintain patient safety resulting in injury to the patient.


b. A medication error which results in injury to the patient.
c. The practice of academic dishonesty such as cheating on preparation for clinical,
and on tests or written assignments (both parties), making false entries in a record.
d. The use of alcohol, illegal drugs, or misuse of prescription or any other drugs during
school activities or on school property, or reporting to class/clinical under the
influence of alcohol or illegal drugs.
e. Appropriating, in connection with the practice of Radiology Technology, medication,
supplies, equipment, or personal items of the patient/client, employer, or any other
person or entity. (This includes accepting remuneration, gifts, etc.)

Procedure for Dismissal


STEP 1. Dismissal from the program will be initiated by the faculty and program
coordinator with prior notification of the Division Chair of Health Occupations. If
the Division Chair is absent, the Vice President of Workforce Education must
be notified prior to dismissal.

STEP 2. The program coordinator and instructor will meet with the student to inform

Course # (RADR 2431) – Karen Powers Page 7 of 20


C:\Users\ElaPit\Documents\Syllabi for 101s\Word to convert to PDF\RADR2431 01 101S.doc 
him/her that they are initiating the procedure. If the program coordinator is the
instructor, another faculty member will be present.

STEP 3. If the student wishes to contest this decision, he/she must file a Request of
Grievance Conference with the Program Coordinator. (Appendix XVI).

Grievance Procedure
Problems of an individual or of a personal nature should be handled in the following
ways: A student may formally express dissatisfaction with his/her progress in the
Radiology Technology Program. Grade disputes should be resolved at the lowest level
possible (i.e., the instructor and student). Recognizing that this is not always possible,
the following procedure has been adopted as policy for resolving grade and course
progress disputes. The steps have been defined to facilitate resolution at the lowest
level and in that interest; the order of steps will at no time be violated. The grievance
procedure must be initiated within two (2) working days of the incident by which time the
student must initiate a "Request of Grievance Conference" with the program coordinator
or Division Chair of Health Occupations if the team leader is not available.

STEP 1. The student should request an appointment to discuss the case with the
faculty and the program coordinator. If a satisfactory decision still has not been
reached, the student may request to meet with the Division Chair of the Health
Occupations within five (5) working days.
STEP 2. If resolution of the grievance has not been reached under the guidance of the
Division Chair within five (5) working days, the student may request an
appointment with representative members of the faculty-as-a-whole within five
(5) working days. The faculty vote will be taken by ballot and tallied by the
Division Chair and a PJC non-Radiology Technology faculty/staff member.
Failure will require a two-thirds majority vote of the faculty. The conference will
be recorded on tape and on a Grievance Conference Report form, a copy of
which goes to the student and the original placed in the Confidential File.
STEP 3. If resolution of the grievance has not been reached under the guidance of the
Division Chair within five (5) working days, the student may request an
appointment within five (5) working days with the Vice President of Workforce
Education to present his/her case.

Access to Confidential File


The CONFIDENTIAL FILE will be kept in the office of the Division Chair of Health
Occupations. Access to the file will be controlled by the Division Chair and limited to the
course faculty directly involved in the particular grievance, and the Vice President of
Workforce Education.

The procedures in this policy have been set up to assure confidentiality and a full
hearing of the student's position.

Attendance Policies
Radiology Technology students will follow the absence and tardy policies of Paris Junior

College as discussed in the school catalog, with the following modifications because of
the nature of Radiology Technology:

1. During inclement weather on clinical/classroom days, the student must make


his/her own decision regarding safety for travel to school. A student who decides
not to attend clinical/class because of inclement weather will receive an absence
unless official notification by the college has been made that classes are closed.
2. Any student arriving at the clinical area later than 30 minutes will be given an
absence. Students arriving 30 minutes or less at the clinical area will receive a
tardy. Students missing 60 minutes or less of classroom during a given day will
receive a tardy. Students missing more than 60 minutes will be given an
absence. A tardy or absence such as arriving late or leaving early may occur at
any point during the day. Students may miss up to 60 minutes of clinical and
receive a tardy, with the exception of the 30 minutes arrival rule (i.e. the student
who arrives 15 minutes late to clinical and leaves 45 minutes early from post-
conference would miss 60 minutes or less and receive a tardy).
3. Three (3) tardies = one (1) absence.
4. Permission to enter the clinical/classroom will be left to the discretion of the
clinical/classroom instructor.
A. Students must demonstrate accountability. If a student reports to
clinical/classroom with an illness which may pose a threat to others, he/she
will be dismissed from the clinical area and will receive a clinical absence.
5. Students who are absent will be required to make up the lab/clinical hours.
A. Should the student miss the make-up hours it will be considered an absence.
6. Students missing any time after two (2) absences per course per semester
must, upon return to school, make a request to the Program Coordinator or the
Division Chair of Health Occupations, to discuss absences, and if needed, meet
with the extenuating circumstance committee. The student must provide
supporting evidence to validate the necessity of the absence.

The Extenuating Circumstance Committee


Extenuating Circumstances Committee composed of student, student advocate if
desired, one Radiology faculty and/or course instructor faculty, PJC/staff person,
program coordinator and/or Division Chair of Health Occupations.

1. Students missing any time after two (2) absences per semester must, upon
return to school, make a request to the program coordinator or the Division
Chair of Health Occupations, to meet with the Extenuating Circumstances
Committee. The student must provide supporting evidence to validate the
necessity of the absence. The student may request no more than two (2)
extenuating absence meetings per semester. Any further absences will result in
failure of the program, or withdrawal if prior to the drop date.
A. Automobile maintenance problems, traffic violation occurrences, or other
preventable occurrences are generally not considered extenuating
circumstances.
2. The faculty calling the meeting will write the minutes of the meeting, with copies

for the student, program coordinator, and minutes notebook.
3. An extenuating circumstance may be recorded in writing without a face-to-face
meeting with the student and members of the committee if all members agree
on the circumstances presented by the faculty responsible for the meeting.
4. A physician's physical condition statement may be required to return to clinical.
5 A 2/3 majority vote of the committee will be required for the student request of
extenuating circumstances to be granted.
6. When the decision is made by the committee to allow the student to continue,
the committee may then review other absences or tardies to determine if a
contingency plan should be formulated by the student to help prevent further
time lost.
7. If the Extenuating Circumstance Committee does not agree to allow the student
to continue, this will result in failure of the course.

Procedure for Reporting an Absence or Tardy


When a student must be late or absent from the clinical/classroom, that individual must
notify the clinical area or classroom instructor by telephone. If the assignment is in a
hospital, the agency must be notified as soon as possible.

When calling, the student should attempt to contact the person in charge, but if this
person is unavailable, speak to the next person in line of authority. The student should
then convey his/her message be relayed to the instructor when he/she arrives. The
student must obtain the name and position of the person contacted about the absence.

Failure to comply with the requirements may result in automatic probation. Abuse of
these rules may result in a termination from the program.

The student is required to be present for all scheduled exams. If an exam is missed, the
student will be required to contact the instructor of absence, and schedule the exam.
The exam must be taken by or upon the first class day upon his/her return to class. The
make-up exam may be an alternative exam.

If all students have taken the test on the scheduled date, the test review may be
performed immediately after the test; however, test grades will not be available until the
next class day. Grades will not be given over the telephone.

Daily grades/pop quizzes may be given at any time during the class periods, and may
consist of take-home assignments or study guides. The daily grade/pop quizzes will be
related to classroom content. No make-up daily grade/pop quiz will be given to a
student who is absent or tardy when a daily grade/pop quiz is given. A student who
misses a daily grade/pop quiz will receive a grade of zero (0) for that quiz.

A student may withdraw with a “W” in any Radiology course if prior to the drop date.

Clinical And/Or Campus Laboratory Grades


In RADR 1266, 1267, 2266, 2366, 2267, and 2367, grades for the clinical and/or laboratory

Course # (RADR 2431) – Karen Powers Page 10 of 20


C:\Users\ElaPit\Documents\Syllabi for 101s\Word to convert to PDF\RADR2431 01 101S.doc 
experience will be based on the number of mastered competencies, an average of the clinical
instructor’s evaluations for the semester, and attendance. The clinical grade is separate from
the classroom grade. A student who withdraws or receives a failing grade in a didactic course
will be required to repeat both the didactic and the clinical course for the specified semester.

Incomplete or "X" Grades


Should a student receive an incomplete or "X" grade in a Radiology Technology course
or a concurrent support course, and this "X" is not removed by the end of two weeks
into the next semester, he/she may not continue in the Radiology Technology Program.

Student Conferences and Evaluations


Student conferences and evaluations will be held at least twice during any major
grading period (or more if a situation warrants). It is at this time that the student will be
told of his/her weak and strong points. There will be a complete set of records and data
kept on each student. Both the counselor and the student will sign all conferences and
evaluations.

Academic Counseling Services


Either the student or the instructor, or both, may initiate conferences regarding learning
and/or progress in a course. Sometimes concerns or problems of a personal nature
interfere with student learning. When these problems occur, the student should initiate,
or be encouraged to initiate, counseling. Such academic counseling is considered a
crucial part of the learning experience. The student development center (903-782-0426)
is staffed with professional counselors who are available to assist students.

CAMPUS LABORATORY EXPERIENCE


The Radiology Technology laboratories are located at the O. W. Robinson Building,
1128 Clarksville Street, Paris, Texas, and within the Workforce Training Center building,
Room 1026, and are considered to be a learning resource center for the student's use.

Within the Paris Junior College laboratory /media area (located in the Workforce
Training Center), the student will find a current selection of journals and a complete
selection of audio-visual materials (located in the Health Occupations Office) to
complement learning objectives. Students may also be required to use the Mike
Rheudasil Learning Center. Occasionally classroom instructors will refer students to
audio-visual materials and computer-assisted instruction (CAI). These will be used as
enrichment tools to be reviewed on the students' own time, and/or during assigned
laboratory times.

The Radiology Technology laboratories have an x-ray room. As this area is considered
a learning resource area, it is utilized in the same manner and environment as a library.
The expectations of keeping noise levels down and maintaining an environment
conducive to learning will be expected. It is required that the students take advantage of
these learning opportunities.

The Paris Junior College Learning Resource Center has been designed for student use.

There are a variety of learning experiences available for varied course work.

LABORATORY SKILL EVALUATION


A laboratory skill conference is a scheduled discussion of theory and/or practice of
psychomotor skills in the laboratory setting. These skill conferences are instructor led
with discussion, demonstration, and practice sessions. Students are encouraged to
practice in pairs. These conferences can be of several hours in duration, and are
usually held during clinical laboratory time.

Laboratory Skill Evaluation


While practice time does vary, it must be emphasized that no student should present
himself/herself for skill evaluation unless he/she has practiced at least once. If practice
time is used, every student should be able to master every skill in the course. No
student should present themselves for evaluation until the skill can be performed
according to the skill evaluation tool.

Time frames for completion of skills will be established by the instructor. At the
completion of each evaluation period the competency log form will be updated.
Guidelines for Campus Laboratory Use
1. The laboratory is available for student use during specified hours.
2. Each student is responsible for replacing supplies and/or equipment in the proper
place after use.
3. Any items which are defective should be reported to the faculty. This is to assure that
as many items as possible may be kept available for student use.
4. Required skill evaluations must be completed within the time designated by the
instructors.
5. There will be no smoking or visitors in the laboratory.
6. Misuse of the laboratories, equipment and/or materials will be documented and
placed in the student's file.

Lab Safety Protocol


1. Do not use damaged electrical cords or equipment. Report damaged equipment to
the faculty.
2. Use only manikins or fellow students for practice for radiographic simulations.
3. Use blood and body fluid standard precautions in the lab and clinical areas.
4. Equipment may be cleaned as instructed by the faculty. Proper use of these
substances are to be followed according to the manufacturer's directions as noted on
the label for each agent with respect to directions for safe use, product warnings and
precautions. READ LABELS.
5. Practice of any invasive procedure is to be done only with manikins in the lab. This
includes procedures such as: insertion of any tube and injections.
6. To reinforce utilization of Standard Precautions in the actual practice setting, students
should at all times use protective apparatus such as gloves, goggles, gowns, masks,
etc., as appropriate when working in the lab.
7. Report any accident or injury to instructor immediately. Campus security is to be
notified in emergency situations or injury. A PJC accident report must be completed

and filed on the same day. Forms may be obtained from the Health Occupations
Department.

CLINICAL EXPERIENCE
Clinical experience may be scheduled at any time during the 24-hour day on any of the
seven days of the week and may be scheduled in out-lying facilities to assure a
satisfactory clinical experience.

CPR certification, immunizations and any required medical screenings, must be current
prior to entering any semester clinical experiences.

Uniforms will consist of: 2nd year student-Caribbean blue top and pants; 1st year
student-Caribbean blue top and white pants. Solid white shirt may be worn under the
top. Shoes will be predominately white.
Documentation of the clinical experience is recorded in the Student Journal.

Instructors may be contacted through the Health Occupations Department Office (903-
782-0734).

Instructors will be accessible to students during assigned clinical experiences. It is the


student's responsibility to seek instructor assistance when needed or in cases where the
student is uncertain about his/her ability to perform a particular procedure.

Invasive Procedures
The student may only give contrast mediums under direct supervision. The student
may not perform any invasive procedures unless permission is given by the clinical
instructor.

Documented Trends of Unsafe Conduct and/or Practice


Identified behaviors of unsafe conduct and/or clinical practice will be documented by the
Student Evaluation Form. Unsafe behavior will be analyzed by the faculty team to
determine whether or not a consistent trend in such behavior is identifiable.
Particular attention will be given to behaviors which compromise patient safety and
welfare, and demonstrate unprofessional conduct.

When an unsafe behavior trend is identified, the student will be placed on clinical
probation.
The student will be given specific criteria, in writing, for removal of probation. Failure to
comply with the terms of probation will result in failure of the course.

If an unsafe behavior is severe enough to jeopardize patient safety, the student will be
placed on probation and/or could be immediately dismissed with a “F” from the program
by faculty team decision, whether or not an unsafe trend has been identified.

Identifiable trends in the following behaviors are some examples which may constitute
unsafe practice resulting in clinical probation.

UNSAFE AND UNPROFESSIONAL CLINICAL PRACTICE DEFINED
Unsafe clinical practice shall be deemed to be behaviors demonstrated by the student
which threaten or violate the physical, biological, or emotional safety of the patient
assigned to her/his care.

The following examples, which may serve as guidelines for the student's understanding
of unsafe clinical practices. Examples are not inclusive.

PHYSICAL SAFETY: unsafe behaviors: inappropriate use of side rails, wheelchairs,


positioning straps and equipment, lack of proper protection of the patient which
potentiates falls, lacerations, burns, etc.

fails to seek help when needed, etc.

EMOTIONAL SAFETY: unsafe behaviors: threatens patient, make patient fearful,


provides patient with inappropriate or incorrect information, fails to seek help when
needed, demonstrates unstable emotional behaviors.

Unprofessional practice shall be deemed to be behaviors demonstrated by the student


which are inappropriate to the student-instructor, student-personnel, or student-patient
interactions which may be taken to be unsafe practice or to reflect negatively upon the
Radiology Technology Program or Paris Junior College.

Examples of unprofessional practice (not inclusive): verbal or non-verbal language,


actions, or voice inflection which compromise rapport or working relations with patients,
family members and/or working relations with clinical affiliates, or constitute violations of
legal or ethical standards.

Trends of unsafe performance will require documentation on the Student Conference Form
which is signed by the student during counseling with the instructor. Documentation becomes a
part of the student's permanent file.

Clinical Forms
The student will record procedures observed in their clinical area in Student Journals
and have it initialed by the clinical instructor. The instructor who observes the students'
performance will evaluate their performance utilizing the Clinical Instructor Evaluation of
Student Form.

Progress Analysis and Summative Evaluation


Students will receive a progress report midway through the semester and at the end of
the semester. If areas of improvement are identified during any of the rotations, written
notification will be given to the student identifying the problem area(s) and guidelines for
improvement and/or removal of probationary status.

Radiation Monitoring or Dosimetry Device Policy


The Paris Junior College Radiology Program utilizes Optically Stimulated Luminescence
(OSL) dosimetry badges provided by Landauer Company. Students will ALWAYS wear
the radiation badge while in clinical sites. Failure to wear the dosimetry badge is a
breach of the dress code.

The dosimetry badge provided by Paris Junior College will not be worn during outside
clinical hours. Students employed in Radiology areas must be provided a dosimetry
badge by the employer. Dosimetry will be exchanged on a monthly basis.

Dosimetry reports will be maintained in the program coordinator’s office. A copy of the
dosimetry report will be placed in the student’s permanent file.

Tampering with other students OSL dosimetry badge will result in dismissal from the
program

Failure of the student to exchange the badge (regardless of it being lost or forgotten) will
result on a lowering of the Clinical Grade by one full letter grade at the end of the
semester. Three (3) incidences of lost or forgotten OSLs will result in dismissal from the
program. If the badge is lost or stolen a written explanation must be furnished to the
Program Coordinator. This written explanation will be maintained in the students file.

If the radiation report for a student is excessive, the student will be counseled to
determine the cause of the excessive exposure. The student will be placed in a low
radiation work area until the problem is resolved.

With Texas being an agreement state with the NRC, the radiation protection aspect of
the radiology program complies with 25 Texas Administrative Code 289.231 – General
Provisions and Standards for Protection Against Machine-Produced Radiation.

ALARA – the student will practice ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

Excessive Exposure Report


If a radiation report for a student is excessive, the student will be counseled to
determine the cause of the excessive exposure. If the report continues to show an
increase in exposure, the student will be placed in a low radiation work area until the
problem is resolved.

Guidelines for this policy come from 25 Texas Administrative Code 289.231, General
Provisions and Standards for Protection Against Machine Produced Radiation.

A report will be made by the program coordinator and will include as a minimum:
1. the extent of exposure
2. the cause of the elevated exposure
3. corrective steps taken or planned to ensure against a recurrence, including
the schedule for achieving conformance with applicable limits, and associated
conditions.

This report will include the individual’s name, social security number, and date of birth.
At completion, this report will be placed in the student's permanent record.

An Excessive Exposure is any exposure in excess of 10% of the annual limits is


subsection (m) (1) of 25 Texas Administrative Code 289.231, pg 14.

An Excessive Exposure for a declared pregnant woman is any exposure in excess of


0.1 rem.

Film Badge Policy


The Paris Junior College Radiology Program provides all radiology students dosimetry
badges with the Optically Stimulated Luminescence (OSL) technology provided by
Landauer.

These OSL dosimetry devices are on a monthly basis.

Students receive their badges in the second semester of the program prior to attending
clinical rotation.

C:\Users\ElaPit\Documents\Syllabi for 101s\Word to convert to PDF\RADR2431 01 101S.doc 
Student dosimetry reports are kept in the program coordinator’s office and a copy of the
student’s individual report will be placed into the student’s permanent file.

With Texas being an agreement state with the NRC, the radiation protection aspect of
the radiology program complies with 25 Texas Administrative Code 289.231 – General
Provisions and Standards for Protection Against Machine-Produced Radiation.

Pregnancy
Students have the option of informing the program Division Chair, in writing, of a
pregnancy. It is recommended that the student inform the Program Coordinator and/or
the Clinical Coordinator immediately upon learning of the pregnancy so that the student
may be counseled regarding her and her baby’s radiation protection. The student is
encouraged to read the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Guide 8.13 “Instructions
Concerning Prenatal Radiation Exposure”. A dosimetry badge will be ordered for the
fetus and student’s clinical experience may be modified from any rotation in
which a heavy fluoroscopy load exists until after the first trimester. Pregnant students
will receive no more than an 0.5 rem of radiation exposure during the entire gestation
period. The student MUST provide a written statement from her physician stating that
the student may participate in all radiologic procedures. If the physician will not release
the student, she will be REQUIRED to withdraw from the program.

The pregnant student will be required to function as a normal, healthy student in ALL
assigned radiographic areas, including lifting patients, and transportation. No “light duty
assignments” will be made. If her and/or her physician’s opinions differ from this policy,
the student will be required to withdraw from the program. All female students will sign
an agreement of understanding concerning pregnancy and radiation protection prior to
acceptance. The agreement simply explains this policy and the prospective student
understands the policy.

If the student does not inform the program of her pregnancy in writing, the student will
be considered to not be pregnant regardless of overt signs, the above measures cannot
be taken. These measures are all for the benefit of the student and the baby. Without
the cooperation, the approved, usual and standard safety precautions cannot be
implemented.

In order for the student to maintain a good standing in the program after the baby’s
birth, the pregnant student must begin “banking” clinical hours so that she may have a
maximum of 6 weeks of absences from the Practicum course. The student will supply
her class schedule (clinical and academic) and a written plan for accumulating bank
hours to the clinical coordinator. The student may schedule no more than forty
hours per week of TOTAL classroom, clinical and bank hours. This schedule will
need to be revised each semester according to the student’s schedule and must be
approved by the clinical coordinator. The “bank hours” must be scheduled only at times
in which proper supervision is available. Students will not receive credit for time
spent at clinicals that were not scheduled. All rules of conduct and attendance will
apply while the student is accumulating bank hours. Bank and make-up times are all

C:\Users\ElaPit\Documents\Syllabi for 101s\Word to convert to PDF\RADR2431 01 101S.doc 
subject to the same rules as regular clinical time. Students who fail to bank adequate
hours to cover post partum absences (including in the event of c-section birth) will not
be allowed to return to clinicals, and will be allowed to re-enter in the same semester in
the following year if space is available.

A dosimetry badge will be ordered for the fetus, and the student will be required to wear
it at waist level under the lead apron. The cost of the fetal badge must be paid for by
the student once the pregnancy is declared. The student will attend classes on campus
two- (2) weeks post partum and begin Practicum six- (6) weeks post partum. A letter
from her physician allowing this will be required. The student may return earlier if her
physician consents. The student should not expect nor receive any other
considerations or special treatment from the program. The student’s radiation
exposure will be continuously monitored to insure that the maximum permissible dose of
500 mr is not exceeded. If the student exceeds the maximum permissible dose, she will
be withdrawn from the program. All attendance, absence, and make-up policies will be
equally enforced. All declared pregnant students must sign the Student Declared
Pregnancy Form. (

Criminal Background Checks/Urine Drug Screen


Students may be required to submit to drug screen tests and criminal background
checks as required by clinical facilities. Paris Junior College will follow practice and
procedures of each facility regarding results. Students with positive drug screens will not
be allowed to attend clinical resulting in failure of the course. Students with positive
background checks will follow the practice and procedures of each facility being utilized
by PJC Radiology Technology students.

Course Policies
Cellular Phones, MP3’s, Computers and Pagers: All electronic devices must be turned

Course # RNSG 2514 – Stephanie Parker Page 13 of 21


C:\Users\ElaPit\Documents\Syllabi for 101s\Word to convert to PDF\RNSG2514 01 101S.doc 
off or set to silent mode during class/clinical. An exception may be made for on duty
emergency personnel. Under no circumstances should an electronic device sound
during class/clinical hours. Electronic devices may be used in the class/clinical setting
for educational purposes only. There is no instance in which any electronic device may
be used for personal communication, social networking or non-class related internet
access during class/clinical hours. The instructor will exercise his/her right to ask any
student in violation of this policy to leave the classroom/clinical setting for the rest of the
period. Repeated violations may result in dismissal from the course.

Texting, Social Networking: There is no instance in which reading a text message,


replying to a text message, accessing any form of social networking, or accessing the
internet for non-class related matters should be necessary during class/clinical hours.
Instruct loved ones and/or employers to call the Health Occupations office (903-782-
0734) if there is an emergency. Office personnel will contact the student or the
instructor regarding the emergency. Any situation involving texting, social networking or
inappropriate internet access in the classroom may be considered academic
dishonesty. We do understand that our society has come to expect that we all be
available on a 24/7 basis; however, the student needs to inform all concerned that time
in class/clinical is devoted to the subject at hand and the student will not be available to
them during that time. Please understand the definition of “emergency,” according to
the American Heritage Dictionary, is “a situation or occurrence of a serious nature,
developing suddenly and unexpectedly, and demanding immediate action.”

Disruptive Behavior: Although we encourage an open and friendly classroom


environment, it is necessary to remind students that they have been allowed to be in the
class to participate and learn about the topic assigned to that time period. If a student is
disruptive to the point of interfering with the learning of other students or fails to treat the
instructor and other members of the class with civility, the student may be asked to
leave the class/clinical area for the remainder of that class/clinical period. This may
result in the student being counted tardy or absent for that class. Repeated violations of
this policy may result in dismissal from the course.

Withdrawal
A student may withdraw from a nursing course by using the procedure outlined in the
Paris Junior College catalog following counsel with his/her instructors and/or the
Coordinator of the Associate Degree Nursing Program. After withdrawing from a
nursing course, a student must reapply for admission to the Associate Degree Nursing
Program in order to enroll in any subsequent nursing course.

The student must initiate the withdrawal procedure with the team leader prior to the
withdrawal date or a grade of "F" will be recorded for the total semester hours of the
dropped nursing course.

Unsatisfactory Progress In A Course


Students who have unsatisfactory classroom performance will be placed on academic
probation.

C:\Users\ElaPit\Documents\Syllabi for 101s\Word to convert to PDF\RNSG2514 01 101S.doc 
Unsatisfactory classroom performance is defined as a test average ≤ 72.

Clinical performance needing improvement or clinical performance that is unsatisfactory


will be specified in the documentation. If the student does not show improvement,
probation status will be implemented. A student may be placed on probation at the
faculty team's decision without preliminary remediation.

Probationary Status:
Probationary criteria will be written in the form of behavioral objectives and recorded in
the document entitled "Report of Unsatisfactory Progress in a Course: Probationary
Status". A time frame for review of status will be specified. The terms of probation will
be discussed with the student and validated by the signatures of the course instructors
and the student.

At the end of the specified term of probation, the student's status is reviewed by the
course faculty. This review will be recorded on the document entitled, "Report of Status
Review". If the probation criteria has been met, the student's probation is lifted. Failure
to meet probationary criteria will result in further disciplinary action up to and including
termination from the program. Probation will be contained within each course.

Dismissal
Any student may be dismissed from the program without a probationary period if the
student shows gross negligence, unsafe nursing care, lack of personal or professional
integrity, breach of patient confidentiality, or commits a criminal act..

"Unsafe nursing" is defined as any act of omission or commission which places the
client(s) in jeopardy of negative changes in health status.

Personal integrity as well as concern for the welfare of patients are personal attributes
that are absolutely essential for those entering the nursing profession. Actions taken
and attitudes expressed while in the student role are considered indicative of behaviors
to be expected of the graduate. The student will be given the opportunity to discuss the
incident(s) with the course team faculty.

Grounds for Immediate Dismissal from Program


A student is subject to immediate dismissal from the nursing program and failure of the
course in the following situations:
a. Failure to maintain patient safety resulting in injury to the patient.
b. A medication error which results in injury to the patient.
c. The practice of academic dishonesty such as cheating on preparation for clinical,
and on tests or written assignments (both parties), making false entries in record
pertaining to the giving of medications, treatments or nursing care, or failing to do
so in any circumstance that shows disregard for patient safety or welfare.
d. The use of alcohol, illegal drugs, or misuse of prescription or any other drugs
during school activities or on school property, or reporting to class/clinical under

e. Appropriating, in connection with the practice of nursing, medication, supplies,
equipment, or personal items of the patient/client, employer, or any other person or
entity. (This includes accepting remuneration, gifts, etc.)

Procedure for Dismissal


STEP 1. Dismissal from the program will be initiated by the faculty team with prior
notification of the Division Chair of Health Occupations. If the Division Chair is
absent, the Vice President of Workforce Education must be notified prior to
dismissal.
STEP 2. The team leader and instructor will meet with the student to inform him/her that
they are initiating the procedure. If the team leader is the instructor, another
faculty member will be present.
STEP 3. If the student wishes to contest this decision, he/she must file a Report of
Grievance with the team leader or Division Chair of Health Occupation.

Grievance Procedure
Problems of an individual or of a personal nature should be handled in the following
ways: A student may formally express dissatisfaction with his/her progress in the
Associate Degree Nursing Program. Grade disputes should be resolved at the lowest
level possible (i.e., the instructor and student). Recognizing that this is not always
possible, the following procedure has been adopted as policy for resolving grade and
course progress disputes. The steps have been defined to facilitate resolution at the
lowest level and in that interest; the order of steps will at no time be violated. The
grievance procedure must be initiated within two (2) working days of the incident by
which time the student must initiate a "Report of Grievance" with the team leader or
Division Chair of Health Occupations if the team leader is not available.
STEP 1. The student should request an appointment to discuss the case with the faculty
and the team leader of the course. If a satisfactory decision still has not been reached,
the student may request to meet with the Division Chair of the program.

STEP 2. If resolution of the grievance has not been reached under the guidance of the
Division Chair, the student may request an appointment with representative members of
the faculty-as-a-whole. (The definition of faculty-as-a-whole: a representative group of
the LVN, ADN, and a neutral party.) After presentation of the facts to the faculty-as-a-
whole, the faculty vote will be taken by ballot and tallied by the Division Chair of the
program and the neutral party. Failure will require a two-thirds majority vote. The
conference will be recorded on tape and on a Grievance Conference Report form, a
copy of which goes to the student and the original placed in the Confidential File.

STEP 3. If resolution of the grievance has not been reached under the guidance of the
Division Chair, the student may request an appointment with the Vice President of
Workforce Education to present his/her case.

Access to Confidential File


The Confidential File will be kept in the office of the Division Chair of Health
Occupations. Access to the file will be controlled by the Division Chair and limited to the

course faculty directly involved in the particular grievance, and the Vice President of
Workforce Education.

The procedures in this policy have been set up to assure confidentiality and a full
hearing of the student's position.

ATTENDANCE POLICIES
Associate Degree Nursing students will follow the absence and tardy policies of Paris
Junior College as discussed in the school catalog, with the following modifications
because of the nature of the nursing experience:
1. During inclement weather on clinical days, the student must make his/her own
decision regarding safety for travel to school. A student who decides not to attend
clinical/class because of inclement weather will receive an absence unless official
notification by the college has been made that classes are closed.
2. Any student arriving at the clinical area later than 30 minutes will be given an
absence. Students arriving 30 minutes or less at the clinical area will receive a tardy.
Students may miss up to 60 minutes of clinical and receive a tardy, with the
exception of the 30 minutes arrival rule (i.e. the student who arrives 15 minutes late
to clinical and leaves 45 minutes early from post-conference would miss 60 minutes
or less and receive a tardy).
Students missing 60 minutes or less of classroom during a given day will receive a
tardy. Students missing more than 60 minutes will be given an absence.
A tardy or absence such as arriving late or leaving early may occur at any point
during the day.
3. Three (3) tardies = one (1) absence.
4. Permission to enter the clinical area will be left to the discretion of the clinical
instructor.
A. Students must demonstrate accountability to clients. If a student reports to
clinical with an illness which may pose a threat to clients, he/she will be dismissed
from the clinical area and will receive a clinical absence.
5. The ADN program expects students to attend all classes/clinicals regularly and
punctually as scheduled.
Students will be allowed one excused clinical absence in RNSG 1262, RNSG 2560
and RNSG 2561. The only excused absences are for:
*illness certified by a personal physician
*serious illness or death in student's immediate family, *being away from the campus
with the sanction of the College
*court appearance with prior approval of Team

Unexcused absences will be required to be made up in one of two ways as


determined by the ADN faculty team each semester:
In the clinical setting – clinical days will be made up as assigned by the clinical
instructor and may be any day of the week including Saturday.
In the laboratory setting (Paris Campus) – clinical days will be made up as assigned
by the clinical instructor from 8:00 am – 4:30 pm and will consist of completing eight
hours of required assignments pertaining to the clinical setting missed.

If a student does not attend their assigned make-up day it will be considered another
absence, and further disciplinary action may be implemented.
6. Students missing more than the equivalent of three (3) absences, (example: T, A, A,
A; T, A, A, T, T, T) in either the clinical or classroom course per semester must
request a review of absences by the ADN faculty team. The student must provide
supporting evidence to validate the necessity of the absences or tardies. Faculty will
review the information and determine whether the circumstances were extenuating;
if so the student will be placed on probation for excessive absences and be granted
an “extenuating circumstance absence.” The student may request no more than two
(2) faculty review of absences per course per semester. Any further
absences/tardies may result in failure of the program, or withdrawal if prior to the
drop date. If the ADN faculty team denies the student an extenuating circumstance
absence, then the student must make a request to the Team Leader/Instructor or the
Division Chair of Health Occupations, to meet with the Extenuating Circumstances
Committee.

The Extenuating Circumstance Committee


Extenuating Circumstances Committee, composed of student, student advocate (if
desired), course team leader, one AD or LVN faculty, PJC/staff person, curriculum
coordinator and/or Division Chair of Health Occupations.
1. Students missing more than the equivalent of three (3) absences, (example: T, A, A,
A; T, A, A, T, T, T) in either the clinical or classroom course per semester must
request a review of absences by the ADN faculty team. The student must provide
supporting evidence to validate the necessity of the absences or tardies. Faculty will
review the information and determine whether the circumstances were extenuating;
if so the student will be placed on probation for excessive absences and be granted
an “extenuating circumstance absence.”
The student may request no more than two (2) faculty review of absences per
course per semester. Any further absences/tardies may result in failure of the
program, or withdrawal if prior to the drop date. If the ADN faculty team denies the
student an extenuating circumstance absence, then the student must make a
request to the Team Leader/Instructor or the Division Chair of Health Occupations,
to meet with the Extenuating Circumstances Committee.
A. Preventable occurrences are not considered extenuating circumstances.
B. The faculty calling the meeting will write the minutes of the meeting, with
copies for the student, team leader, and minutes notebook.
C. A physician's physical condition statement may be required to return to
clinical.
D. All tardies (time missed) will be discussed in the Extenuating Circumstances
Committee meeting in order to identify trends.
E. A 2/3 majority vote of the committee will be required for the student request of
extenuating circumstances to be granted.
F. When the decision is made by the committee to allow the student to continue,
the student will be required to formulate a contingency plan to help prevent
further time lost.
G. If the Extenuating Circumstance Committee does not agree to allow the

student to continue, the student will be allowed to withdraw up to the college
designated date of the twelfth week of the semester (and the 4th week in
summer semesters). After the withdrawal date, the students may not withdraw
and termination from the program will result.

Procedure for Reporting an Absence or Tardy


When a student must be late or absent from the clinical, that individual must notify the
clinical area by telephone. If the assignment is in a hospital, the agency must be notified
prior to beginning of shift.
When calling, the student should attempt to contact the person in charge (charge
nurse), but if this person is unavailable, speak to the next person in line of authority. The
student should then convey his/her message be relayed to the instructor when he/she
arrives. The student must obtain the name and position of the person contacted about
the absence.
Failure to comply with the requirements may result in automatic probation. Abuse of
these rules may result in a termination from the program.

Test review will be held the Thursday following the exam in the following manner.
During the lunch hour, students will have the opportunity to take their test report and
compare their answers to the test key with provided rationales. Students may only bring
their test report into the room. They will be provided with a red pen and a colored-blank
paper to write any test challenges. The student must write his/her name on the
challenge paper in order for the challenge to be accepted. Challenges will only be
accepted at this time. The faculty team will review all challenges following completion of
the self-review. Students will be notified if a change is made to the grades based on the
challenges and if so will be provided with a corrected test report.
Students who make 75 or less on an exam will be required to attend classroom test
review as scheduled on the course calendar.

Students who have a test average of 72 or below will be placed on academic probation
and be required to attend remediation as scheduled.

During the next ten months you should complete a minimum of 5,000 NCLEX-RN Level
practice questions. These questions should be completed on a computer in blocks of
100-200 questions at a sitting. Students will be required to complete a minimum of 400
questions (100 per unit exam) in the Summer semester and 1000 questions (200 per
unit exam) in the Fall and Spring semesters (total: 2400). Students will be required to
submit a test report either 200 per report or (2) 100 question reports due at exam time
according to the course calendar. Test report grades will be averaged and worth 2% of
the course grade. Incomplete assignments will not be accepted for a grade and reports
not submitted prior to exams will receive a “0”. This is a graded assignment and must be
completed independently.

Written Assignments:
All written assignments, classroom or clinical, must be completed and turned in even if
submitted after the due date. Failure to complete all written assignments will result in a

failing (F) grade for the course. This includes all required written assignments except
required written daily clinical paperwork. Required written daily clinical paperwork will be
addressed on the student anecdotal record/clinical evaluation tool.

Dosage Calculation Competency Testing


Students will be tested each semester to determine dosage calculation competency. A
20-question test will be administered at the beginning of each semester. Students must
score 90%. The students will be given three opportunities to achieve a 90%.
If a student scores below 90% on either of the first two tests, remediation and/or tutoring
must be completed before retesting.
If a student does not achieve 90% competency, he/she will be required to drop all
nursing courses.
Students may use label factor method, ratio proportion, or dimensional analysis to
calculate dosage for examinations or clinical.

Academic Counseling Services


Either the student or the instructor, or both, may initiate conferences regarding learning
and/or progress in a course. Sometimes concerns or problems of a personal nature
interfere with student learning. When these problems occur, the student should initiate,
or be encouraged to initiate, counseling. Such academic counseling is considered a
crucial part of the learning experience. The student development center is staffed with
professional counselors who are available to assist students.

Clinical Screen (Drug and Criminal Background)


Students will be required to submit to drug screen test and criminal background checks.
The Paris Junior College Health Occupations will follow the policies and procedures of
the clinical facilities regarding results. Students with positive drug screens will not be
allowed to attend clinical resulting in failure of the course. Students with positive
background checks will follow the rule of the Nursing Practice Act and Practice and
Procedures of each facility being utilized by PJC nursing students.

C:\Users\ElaPit\Documents\Syllabi for 101s\Word to convert to PDF\RNSG2560 01 101S.doc 
replying to a text message, accessing any form of social networking, or accessing the
internet for non-class related matters should be necessary during class/clinical hours.
Instruct loved ones and/or employers to call the Health Occupations office (903-782-
0734) if there is an emergency. Office personnel will contact the student or the
instructor regarding the emergency. Any situation involving texting, social networking or
inappropriate internet access in the classroom may be considered academic
dishonesty. We do understand that our society has come to expect that we all be
available on a 24/7 basis; however, the student needs to inform all concerned that time
in class/clinical is devoted to the subject at hand and the student will not be available to
them during that time. Please understand the definition of “emergency,” according to
the American Heritage Dictionary, is “a situation or occurrence of a serious nature,
developing suddenly and unexpectedly, and demanding immediate action.”

Disruptive Behavior: Although we encourage an open and friendly classroom


environment, it is necessary to remind students that they have been allowed to be in the
class to participate and learn about the topic assigned to that time period. If a student is
disruptive to the point of interfering with the learning of other students or fails to treat the
instructor and other members of the class with civility, the student may be asked to
leave the class/clinical area for the remainder of that class/clinical period. This may
result in the student being counted tardy or absent for that class. Repeated violations of
this policy may result in dismissal from the course.

Withdrawal
A student may withdraw from a nursing course by using the procedure outlined in the
Paris Junior College catalog following counsel with his/her instructors and/or the
Coordinator of the Associate Degree Nursing Program. After withdrawing from a
nursing course, a student must reapply for admission to the Associate Degree Nursing
Program in order to enroll in any subsequent nursing course.

The student must initiate the withdrawal procedure with the team leader prior to the
withdrawal date or a grade of "F" will be recorded for the total semester hours of the
dropped nursing course.

Unsatisfactory Progress In A Course


Students who have unsatisfactory classroom performance will be placed on academic
probation.
Unsatisfactory classroom performance is defined as a test average ≤ 72.

Clinical performance needing improvement or clinical performance that is unsatisfactory


will be specified in the documentation. If the student does not show improvement,
probation status will be implemented. A student may be placed on probation at the
faculty team's decision without preliminary remediation.

Probationary Status:
Probationary criteria will be written in the form of behavioral objectives and recorded in
the document entitled "Report of Unsatisfactory Progress in a Course: Probationary

Course # RNSG 2560 – Stephanie Parker Page 7 of 13


C:\Users\ElaPit\Documents\Syllabi for 101s\Word to convert to PDF\RNSG2560 01 101S.doc 
Status". A time frame for review of status will be specified. The terms of probation will
be discussed with the student and validated by the signatures of the course instructors
and the student.

At the end of the specified term of probation, the student's status is reviewed by the
course faculty. This review will be recorded on the document entitled, "Report of Status
Review". If the probation criteria has been met, the student's probation is lifted. Failure
to meet probationary criteria will result in further disciplinary action up to and including
termination from the program. Probation will be contained within each course.

Dismissal
Any student may be dismissed from the program without a probationary period if the
student shows gross negligence, unsafe nursing care, lack of personal or professional
integrity, breach of patient confidentiality, or commits a criminal act..

"Unsafe nursing" is defined as any act of omission or commission which places the
client(s) in jeopardy of negative changes in health status.

Personal integrity as well as concern for the welfare of patients are personal attributes
that are absolutely essential for those entering the nursing profession. Actions taken
and attitudes expressed while in the student role are considered indicative of behaviors
to be expected of the graduate. The student will be given the opportunity to discuss the
incident(s) with the course team faculty.

Grounds for Immediate Dismissal from Program


A student is subject to immediate dismissal from the nursing program and failure of the
course in the following situations:
a. Failure to maintain patient safety resulting in injury to the patient.
b. A medication error which results in injury to the patient.
c. The practice of academic dishonesty such as cheating on preparation for clinical,
and on tests or written assignments (both parties), making false entries in record
pertaining to the giving of medications, treatments or nursing care, or failing to do
so in any circumstance that shows disregard for patient safety or welfare.
d. The use of alcohol, illegal drugs, or misuse of prescription or any other drugs
during school activities or on school property, or reporting to class/clinical under
the influence of alcohol or illegal drugs.
e. Appropriating, in connection with the practice of nursing, medication, supplies,
equipment, or personal items of the patient/client, employer, or any other person or
entity. (This includes accepting remuneration, gifts, etc.)

Procedure for Dismissal


STEP 1. Dismissal from the program will be initiated by the faculty team with prior
notification of the Division Chair of Health Occupations. If the Division Chair is
absent, the Vice President of Workforce Education must be notified prior to
dismissal.
STEP 2. The team leader and instructor will meet with the student to inform him/her that

Course # RNSG 2560 – Stephanie Parker Page 8 of 13


C:\Users\ElaPit\Documents\Syllabi for 101s\Word to convert to PDF\RNSG2560 01 101S.doc 
they are initiating the procedure. If the team leader is the instructor, another
faculty member will be present.
STEP 3. If the student wishes to contest this decision, he/she must file a Report of
Grievance with the team leader or Division Chair of Health Occupation.

Grievance Procedure
Problems of an individual or of a personal nature should be handled in the following
ways: A student may formally express dissatisfaction with his/her progress in the
Associate Degree Nursing Program. Grade disputes should be resolved at the lowest
level possible (i.e., the instructor and student). Recognizing that this is not always
possible, the following procedure has been adopted as policy for resolving grade and
course progress disputes. The steps have been defined to facilitate resolution at the
lowest level and in that interest; the order of steps will at no time be violated. The
grievance procedure must be initiated within two (2) working days of the incident by
which time the student must initiate a "Report of Grievance" with the team leader or
Division Chair of Health Occupations if the team leader is not available.
STEP 1. The student should request an appointment to discuss the case with the faculty
and the team leader of the course. If a satisfactory decision still has not been reached,
the student may request to meet with the Division Chair of the program.

STEP 2. If resolution of the grievance has not been reached under the guidance of the
Division Chair, the student may request an appointment with representative members of
the faculty-as-a-whole. (The definition of faculty-as-a-whole: a representative group of
the LVN, ADN, and a neutral party.) After presentation of the facts to the faculty-as-a-
whole, the faculty vote will be taken by ballot and tallied by the Division Chair of the
program and the neutral party. Failure will require a two-thirds majority vote. The
conference will be recorded on tape and on a Grievance Conference Report form, a
copy of which goes to the student and the original placed in the Confidential File.

STEP 3. If resolution of the grievance has not been reached under the guidance of the
Division Chair, the student may request an appointment with the Vice President of
Workforce Education to present his/her case.

Access to Confidential File


The Confidential File will be kept in the office of the Division Chair of Health
Occupations. Access to the file will be controlled by the Division Chair and limited to the
course faculty directly involved in the particular grievance, and the Vice President of
Workforce Education.

The procedures in this policy have been set up to assure confidentiality and a full
hearing of the student's position.

ATTENDANCE POLICIES
Associate Degree Nursing students will follow the absence and tardy policies of Paris
Junior College as discussed in the school catalog, with the following modifications
because of the nature of the nursing experience:

Course # RNSG 2560 – Stephanie Parker Page 9 of 13


C:\Users\ElaPit\Documents\Syllabi for 101s\Word to convert to PDF\RNSG2560 01 101S.doc 
1. During inclement weather on clinical days, the student must make his/her own
decision regarding safety for travel to school. A student who decides not to attend
clinical/class because of inclement weather will receive an absence unless official
notification by the college has been made that classes are closed.
2. Any student arriving at the clinical area later than 30 minutes will be given an
absence. Students arriving 30 minutes or less at the clinical area will receive a tardy.
Students may miss up to 60 minutes of clinical and receive a tardy, with the
exception of the 30 minutes arrival rule (i.e. the student who arrives 15 minutes late
to clinical and leaves 45 minutes early from post-conference would miss 60 minutes
or less and receive a tardy).
Students missing 60 minutes or less of classroom during a given day will receive a
tardy. Students missing more than 60 minutes will be given an absence.
A tardy or absence such as arriving late or leaving early may occur at any point
during the day.
3. Three (3) tardies = one (1) absence.
4. Permission to enter the clinical area will be left to the discretion of the clinical
instructor.
A. Students must demonstrate accountability to clients. If a student reports to
clinical with an illness which may pose a threat to clients, he/she will be dismissed
from the clinical area and will receive a clinical absence.
5. The ADN program expects students to attend all classes/clinicals regularly and
punctually as scheduled.
Students will be allowed one excused clinical absence in RNSG 1262, RNSG 2560
and RNSG 2561. The only excused absences are for:
*illness certified by a personal physician
*serious illness or death in student's immediate family, *being away from the campus
with the sanction of the College
*court appearance with prior approval of Team

Unexcused absences will be required to be made up in one of two ways as


determined by the ADN faculty team each semester:
In the clinical setting – clinical days will be made up as assigned by the clinical
instructor and may be any day of the week including Saturday.
In the laboratory setting (Paris Campus) – clinical days will be made up as assigned
by the clinical instructor from 8:00 am – 4:30 pm and will consist of completing eight
hours of required assignments pertaining to the clinical setting missed.
If a student does not attend their assigned make-up day it will be considered another
absence, and further disciplinary action may be implemented.
6. Students missing more than the equivalent of three (3) absences, (example: T, A, A,
A; T, A, A, T, T, T) in either the clinical or classroom course per semester must
request a review of absences by the ADN faculty team. The student must provide
supporting evidence to validate the necessity of the absences or tardies. Faculty will
review the information and determine whether the circumstances were extenuating;
if so the student will be placed on probation for excessive absences and be granted
an “extenuating circumstance absence.” The student may request no more than two
(2) faculty review of absences per course per semester. Any further

C:\Users\ElaPit\Documents\Syllabi for 101s\Word to convert to PDF\RNSG2560 01 101S.doc 
absences/tardies may result in failure of the program, or withdrawal if prior to the
drop date. If the ADN faculty team denies the student an extenuating circumstance
absence, then the student must make a request to the Team Leader/Instructor or the
Division Chair of Health Occupations, to meet with the Extenuating Circumstances
Committee.

The Extenuating Circumstance Committee


Extenuating Circumstances Committee, composed of student, student advocate (if
desired), course team leader, one AD or LVN faculty, PJC/staff person, curriculum
coordinator and/or Division Chair of Health Occupations.
1. Students missing more than the equivalent of three (3) absences, (example: T, A, A,
A; T, A, A, T, T, T) in either the clinical or classroom course per semester must
request a review of absences by the ADN faculty team. The student must provide
supporting evidence to validate the necessity of the absences or tardies. Faculty will
review the information and determine whether the circumstances were extenuating;
if so the student will be placed on probation for excessive absences and be granted
an “extenuating circumstance absence.”
The student may request no more than two (2) faculty review of absences per
course per semester. Any further absences/tardies may result in failure of the
program, or withdrawal if prior to the drop date. If the ADN faculty team denies the
student an extenuating circumstance absence, then the student must make a
request to the Team Leader/Instructor or the Division Chair of Health Occupations,
to meet with the Extenuating Circumstances Committee.
A. Preventable occurrences are not considered extenuating circumstances.
B. The faculty calling the meeting will write the minutes of the meeting, with
copies for the student, team leader, and minutes notebook.
C. A physician's physical condition statement may be required to return to
clinical.
D. All tardies (time missed) will be discussed in the Extenuating Circumstances
Committee meeting in order to identify trends.
E. A 2/3 majority vote of the committee will be required for the student request of
extenuating circumstances to be granted.
F. When the decision is made by the committee to allow the student to continue,
the student will be required to formulate a contingency plan to help prevent
further time lost.
G. If the Extenuating Circumstance Committee does not agree to allow the
student to continue, the student will be allowed to withdraw up to the college
designated date of the twelfth week of the semester (and the 4th week in
summer semesters). After the withdrawal date, the students may not withdraw
and termination from the program will result.

Procedure for Reporting an Absence or Tardy


When a student must be late or absent from the clinical, that individual must notify the
clinical area by telephone. If the assignment is in a hospital, the agency must be notified
prior to beginning of shift.
When calling, the student should attempt to contact the person in charge (charge

Course # RNSG 2560 – Stephanie Parker Page 11 of 13

nurse), but if this person is unavailable, speak to the next person in line of authority. The
student should then convey his/her message be relayed to the instructor when he/she
arrives. The student must obtain the name and position of the person contacted about
the absence.
Failure to comply with the requirements may result in automatic probation. Abuse of
these rules may result in a termination from the program.

Test review will be held the Thursday following the exam in the following manner.
During the lunch hour, students will have the opportunity to take their test report and
compare their answers to the test key with provided rationales. Students may only bring
their test report into the room. They will be provided with a red pen and a colored-blank
paper to write any test challenges. The student must write his/her name on the
challenge paper in order for the challenge to be accepted. Challenges will only be
accepted at this time. The faculty team will review all challenges following completion of
the self-review. Students will be notified if a change is made to the grades based on the
challenges and if so will be provided with a corrected test report.
Students who make 75 or less on an exam will be required to attend classroom test
review as scheduled on the course calendar.

Students who have a test average of 72 or below will be placed on academic probation
and be required to attend remediation as scheduled.

During the next ten months you should complete a minimum of 5,000 NCLEX-RN Level
practice questions. These questions should be completed on a computer in blocks of
100-200 questions at a sitting. Students will be required to complete a minimum of 400
questions (100 per unit exam) in the Summer semester and 1000 questions (200 per
unit exam) in the Fall and Spring semesters (total: 2400). Students will be required to
submit a test report either 200 per report or (2) 100 question reports due at exam time
according to the course calendar. Test report grades will be averaged and worth 2% of
the course grade. Incomplete assignments will not be accepted for a grade and reports
not submitted prior to exams will receive a “0”. This is a graded assignment and must be
completed independently.

Written Assignments:
All written assignments, classroom or clinical, must be completed and turned in even if
submitted after the due date. Failure to complete all written assignments will result in a
failing (F) grade for the course. This includes all required written assignments except
required written daily clinical paperwork. Required written daily clinical paperwork will be
addressed on the student anecdotal record/clinical evaluation tool.

Dosage Calculation Competency Testing


Students will be tested each semester to determine dosage calculation competency. A
20-question test will be administered at the beginning of each semester. Students must
score 90%. The students will be given three opportunities to achieve a 90%.
If a student scores below 90% on either of the first two tests, remediation and/or tutoring
must be completed before retesting.

If a student does not achieve 90% competency, he/she will be required to drop all
nursing courses.
Students may use label factor method, ratio proportion, or dimensional analysis to
calculate dosage for examinations or clinical.

Academic Counseling Services


Either the student or the instructor, or both, may initiate conferences regarding learning
and/or progress in a course. Sometimes concerns or problems of a personal nature
interfere with student learning. When these problems occur, the student should initiate,
or be encouraged to initiate, counseling. Such academic counseling is considered a
crucial part of the learning experience. The student development center is staffed with
professional counselors who are available to assist students.

Clinical Screen (Drug and Criminal Background)


Students will be required to submit to drug screen test and criminal background checks.
The Paris Junior College Health Occupations will follow the policies and procedures of
the clinical facilities regarding results. Students with positive drug screens will not be
allowed to attend clinical resulting in failure of the course. Students with positive
background checks will follow the rule of the Nursing Practice Act and Practice and
Procedures of each facility being utilized by PJC nursing students.

Course Requirements and Evaluation


In order to pass SRGT 1441, the student must achieve a final average grade of 70 or
higher. The final grade average will consist of:
5 Exams (averaged) 60%
Daily Grades (averaged) 20%
Comprehensive Final Exam 20%

Daily grades may consist of written assignments, critical thinking exercises, lab
exercises, and unannounced quizzes (if you are absent, an unannounced quiz can not
be made up) and computer exercises.

Late assignments will have 10 points deducted for every class day that it is late, unless
excused absence is documented.

If you miss an exam, you must contact the instructor as soon as possible. Make-up
exams will be fill-in the blank or essay.

Students who have unsatisfactory progress in classroom will be given written


notification and a plan for remediation will be completed.

Course Policies
Attendance Policy:
Daily class attendance is critical for the successful completion of this course.
Withdrawal requests must be initiated by the student. Failure to take the final exam will
result in a grade of "F" in the course. The student is allowed 2 absences per course per
semester. Students who are absent two days or less will be required to make up all lab
activities. Please see the Surgical Technology Student Handbook for further details
regarding absences and tardiness.

Grievance Procedure
Problems of an individual or of a personal nature should be handled in the following
ways: A student may formally express dissatisfaction with his/her progress in the
Surgical Technology Program. Grade disputes should be resolved at the lowest level
possible (i.e., the instructor and student). Recognizing that this is not always possible,
the following procedure has been adopted as policy for resolving grade and course

Course # (SRGT 1441) – Norman Gilbert Page 9 of 10


C:\Users\ElaPit\Documents\Syllabi for 101s\Word to convert to PDF\SRGT1441 01 101S.doc 
progress disputes. The steps have been defined to facilitate resolution at the lowest
level and in that interest; the order of steps will at no time be violated. The grievance
procedure must be initiated within two (2) working days of the incident by which time the
student must initiate a "Request of Grievance Conference" with the program coordinator
or Director of Health Occupations if the team leader is not available.

STEP 1. The student should request an appointment to discuss the case with the
faculty and the program coordinator. If a satisfactory decision still has not been
reached, the student may request to meet with the Director of the program.

STEP 2. If resolution of the grievance has not been reached under the guidance of the
Director, the student may request an appointment with representative
members of the faculty-as-a-whole. The faculty vote will be taken by ballot and
tallied by the Director and a PJC non-Surgical Technology faculty/staff
member. Failure will require a two-thirds majority vote of the faculty. The
conference will be recorded on tape and on a Grievance Conference Report
form, a copy of which goes to the student and the original placed in the
Confidential File.

STEP 3. If a resolution is still not reached, the student may request the Director to
obtain an appointment with the Vice President of Workforce Education.

At any time during the grievance procedure should the student desire an attorney
present, he/she must notify the Director of the program at least 24 hours before a
scheduled meeting.

Access to Confidential File


The CONFIDENTIAL FILE will be kept in the office of the Director of Health
Occupations. Access to the file will be controlled by the director and limited to the
course faculty directly involved in the particular grievance, and the Vice President of
Workforce Education.

The procedures in this policy have been set up to assure confidentiality and a full
hearing of the student's position.

Numerical Grade
0 U’s = A A = 95
1U =B B = 85
2 U's = C C = 75
3 or more U’s = F F = 65
 
Course Policies
Electronic Devices
1. Students may use quiet, laptop computers for lecture note taking. Students are not
allowed to tape/record any patient information. If patient information is recorded,
disciplinary action may be taken.
2. No cellular telephones or beepers are permitted in the classroom, laboratory or
clinical areas. P.D.A.’s or smart phones may be used in the clinical area only to
provide point of care information.

Grievance Procedure
Problems of an individual or of a personal nature should be handled in the following
ways: A student may formally express dissatisfaction with his/her progress in the
Associate Degree Nursing Program. Grade disputes should be resolved at the lowest
level possible (i.e., the instructor and student). Recognizing that this is not always

Course # (VNSG 1409) – Debbie Bookout Page 6 of 11


C:\Users\ElaPit\Documents\Syllabi for 101s\Word to convert to PDF\VNSG1409 01 101S.doc 
possible, the following procedure has been adopted as policy for resolving grade and
course progress disputes. The steps have been defined to facilitate resolution at the
lowest level and in that interest; the order of steps will at no time be violated. The
grievance procedure must be initiated within two (2) working days of the incident by
which time the student must initiate a "Report of Grievance" with the team leader or
Division Chair of Health Occupations if the team leader is not available.
STEP 1. The student should request an appointment to discuss the case with the faculty
and the team leader of the course. If a satisfactory decision still has not been reached,
the student may request to meet with the Division Chair of the program.
STEP 2. If resolution of the grievance has not been reached under the guidance of the
Division Chair, the student may request an appointment with representative members of
the faculty-as-a-whole. (The definition of faculty-as-a-whole: a representative group of
the LVN, ADN, and a neutral party.) After presentation of the facts to the faculty-as-a-
whole, the faculty vote will be taken by ballot and tallied by the Division Chair of the
program and the neutral party. Failure will require a two-thirds majority vote. The
conference will be recorded on tape and on a Grievance Conference Report form, a
copy of which goes to the student and the original placed in the Confidential File.
STEP 3. If resolution of the grievance has not been reached under the guidance of the
Division Chair, the student may request an appointment with the Vice President of
Workforce Education to present his/her case.

Access to Confidential File


The Confidential File will be kept in the office of the Division Chair of Health
Occupations. Access to the file will be controlled by the Division Chair and limited to the
course faculty directly involved in the particular grievance, and the Vice President of
Workforce Education.

Attendance Policy
Vocational Nursing students will follow the absence and tardy policies of Paris Junior
College as discussed in the current school catalog, with the following modifications
because of the nature of the nursing experience.
1. During inclement weather on clinical days, the student must make his/her own
decision regarding safety for travel to school. A student who decides not to attend
clinical/class because of inclement weather will receive an absence unless official
notification by the college has been made that classes are closed.
2. Any student arriving at the clinical area later than 30 minutes will be given an
absence. Students arriving 30 minutes or less at the clinical area will receive a tardy.
Students missing 60 minutes or less of classroom during a given day will receive a
tardy. Students missing more than 60 minutes will be given an absence. A tardy or
absence such as arriving late or leaving early may occur at any point during the day.
Students may miss up to 60 minutes of clinical and receive a tardy, with the
exception of the 30 minutes arrival rule (i.e. the student who arrives 15 minutes late
to clinical and leaves 45 minutes early from post-conference would miss 60 minutes
or less and receive a tardy).
3. Three (3) tardies = one (1) absence.
4. Permission to enter the clinical area will be left to the discretion of the clinical

instructor.
A. Students must demonstrate accountability to clients. If a student reports to
clinical with an illness which may pose a threat to clients, he/she will be dismissed
from the clinical area and will receive a clinical absence.
5. The Vocational program expects students to attend all classes/clinicals regularly and
punctually as scheduled.
Classroom
More than three absences may result in dismissal unless an extenuating
circumstance is granted. The student may request to view the CD of the lecture
presented during the absence within one week of return to the classroom or prior to
the Unit exam should it be due the following Monday after the absence. The CD will
be signed out at the front office.
Clinical
More than three absences may result in dismissal unless an extenuating
circumstance is granted. The student will be allowed one (1) excused clinical
absence per semester. The only excused absences are for:
*illness of student or immediate family certified by a personal physician
*serious illness or death in student's immediate family
*being away from the campus with the sanction of the College
*court appearance with prior approval of the team
Additional clinical absences will be required to be made up. Clinical days will be
made up as assigned by clinical instructor.
Should the student miss the make up hours it will be considered an absence.
6. Students missing more than the equivalent of three (3) absences, in any semester
must, upon return to school, make a request to an instructor, the Team Leader or the
Division Chair of Health Occupations, to meet with the Extenuating Circumstances
Committee. The student must provide supporting evidence to validate the necessity
of the absence/tardy. The student may request no more than two (2) extenuating
circumstances meetings per semester. Any further absences/tardies will result in
failure of the program, or withdrawal if prior to the drop date.

Probationary Status:
Probationary criteria will be written in the form of behavioral objectives and recorded in
the document entitled "Report of Unsatisfactory Progress in a Course: Probationary
Status". A time frame for review of status will be specified. The terms of probation will
be discussed with the student and validated by the signatures of the course instructors
and the student. At the end of the specified term of probation, the student's status is
reviewed by the course faculty. This review will be recorded on the document entitled,
"Report of Status Review". If the probation criteria has been met, the student's probation
is lifted. Failure to meet probationary criteria will result in further disciplinary action up to
and including failure from the program. Probation will be contained within the course.

Theory Grades
A percentage grade will be given on the composite of written assignments, classroom
examinations, final examinations, and special projects.

Course # (VNSG 1409) – Debbie Bookout Page 8 of 11


C:\Users\ElaPit\Documents\Syllabi for 101s\Word to convert to PDF\VNSG1409 01 101S.doc 
A percentage grade for the course will be based on the following scale:
A = 90 - 100
B = 80 - 89
C = 70 - 79
F = 0 - 69

The student is required to be present for all scheduled exams. If an exam is missed, the
student will be required to take the exam on the first class day upon his/her return to
class. The make-up exam may be different from the original exam. There will be a five
(5) point deduction if a student is absent for an exam.

Test review will be per course syllabus.

After test review, if the student has a concern regarding a question, he/she may take the
textbook(s) (with test present) and verify the answer he/she feels is correct. The student
will be given ample time after test review to complete this activity. When the student has
completed the challenge, he/she will turn the challenge papers with test question
written, answer chosen with textbook reference cited and test into the instructor. At this
point the challenge process ends. The instructor will take the test challenges to the next
team meeting where they will be presented and determined if the student has been able
to validate answers. If it is determined that the answers are valid, the test scores will be
adjusted as applicable. The challenged questions will be reviewed on the next class
day.

Students who make less than 75 on an exam are expected to attend/complete


remediation as scheduled by instructors.

Written Assignments:
All written assignments, classroom or clinical, must be completed and turned in even if
submitted after the due date. Failure to complete all written assignments will result in a
failing (F) grade for the course. This includes all required written assignments except
required written daily clinical paperwork. Required written daily clinical paperwork will be
addressed on the student anecdotal record/clinical evaluation tool.

Clinical And Campus Laboratory Grades


Clinical Grades
In order to pass the clinical portions of the Vocational Nursing Program, every
applicable objective on the summative portion of the tool titled Evaluation of Safe
Clinical Practice should be met at a safe level of competency.

The letter grade for the clinical portion of this course will be based on the evaluation tool
titled Instructor Responses/Clinical Grading. A student receiving three (3) CEs in the
same area on the evaluation tool titled Instructor Responses/Clinical Grading will
receive a “U” in that area, be placed on probation, and their clinical grade will be
decreased by one letter grade. The exception being medication errors: when the
second medication error is made the student will receive a “U”, be placed on probation,

Course # (VNSG 1409) – Debbie Bookout Page 9 of 11


C:\Users\ElaPit\Documents\Syllabi for 101s\Word to convert to PDF\VNSG1409 01 101S.doc 
and their clinical grade will be decreased by one letter grade. When the probation
status is implemented the “Probation Status” in a course will be utilized. The instructors
will utilize the following percentages for areas that are checked for continued
enhancement.

Letter Grade Numerical Grade


0 U’s = A = 95
1U = B = 85
2 U’s = C = 75
3 or more U’s = F = 65

All clinical work must be done in a safe and professional manner. A student who fails
clinical will receive an "F" for the course. An unsafe grade on the evaluation of safe
clinical practice tool will result in a failure in the course.

Campus Laboratory Grades


The grade for the lab portions of the Vocational Nursing Program will be based on the
summative portion of the Lab Evaluation Tool utilizing the following percentage of areas
needing improvement.

0 U's = A
1U = B
2 U's = C
3 or more U 's = F

Incomplete Or "X" Grades


Should a student receive an incomplete or "X" grade in a nursing course or a concurrent
support course, and this "X" is not removed by the end of two weeks into the next
semester, he/she may not continue in the nursing program.

Guidelines For Campus Laboratory Use


1. The laboratory is available for student use.
2. Each student is responsible for replacing supplies and/or equipment in the proper
place after use.
3. Any items which are defective should be reported to a nursing instructor/nursing

Course Policies
Electronic Devices
1. Students may use quiet, laptop computers for lecture note taking. Students are not
allowed to tape/record any patient information. If patient information is recorded,
disciplinary action may be taken.
2. No cellular telephones or beepers are permitted in the classroom, laboratory or
clinical areas. P.D.A.’s or smart phones may be used in the clinical area only to
provide point of care information.

Grievance Procedure
Problems of an individual or of a personal nature should be handled in the following
ways: A student may formally express dissatisfaction with his/her progress in the
Associate Degree Nursing Program. Grade disputes should be resolved at the lowest
level possible (i.e., the instructor and student). Recognizing that this is not always
possible, the following procedure has been adopted as policy for resolving grade and
course progress disputes. The steps have been defined to facilitate resolution at the
lowest level and in that interest; the order of steps will at no time be violated. The
grievance procedure must be initiated within two (2) working days of the incident by
which time the student must initiate a "Report of Grievance" with the team leader or
Division Chair of Health Occupations if the team leader is not available.
STEP 1. The student should request an appointment to discuss the case with the faculty
and the team leader of the course. If a satisfactory decision still has not been reached,
the student may request to meet with the Division Chair of the program.
STEP 2. If resolution of the grievance has not been reached under the guidance of the
Division Chair, the student may request an appointment with representative members of
the faculty-as-a-whole. (The definition of faculty-as-a-whole: a representative group of
the LVN, ADN, and a neutral party.) After presentation of the facts to the faculty-as-a-
whole, the faculty vote will be taken by ballot and tallied by the Division Chair of the
program and the neutral party. Failure will require a two-thirds majority vote. The
conference will be recorded on tape and on a Grievance Conference Report form, a
copy of which goes to the student and the original placed in the Confidential File.
STEP 3. If resolution of the grievance has not been reached under the guidance of the
Division Chair, the student may request an appointment with the Vice President of
Workforce Education to present his/her case.

Access to Confidential File


The Confidential File will be kept in the office of the Division Chair of Health
Occupations. Access to the file will be controlled by the Division Chair and limited to the
course faculty directly involved in the particular grievance, and the Vice President of
Workforce Education.

Attendance Policy
Vocational Nursing students will follow the absence and tardy policies of Paris Junior
College as discussed in the current school catalog, with the following modifications

Course # (VNSG 1429) – Debbie Bookout Page 6 of 10


C:\Users\ElaPit\Documents\Syllabi for 101s\Word to convert to PDF\VNSG1429 01 101S.doc 
because of the nature of the nursing experience.
1. During inclement weather on clinical days, the student must make his/her own
decision regarding safety for travel to school. A student who decides not to attend
clinical/class because of inclement weather will receive an absence unless official
notification by the college has been made that classes are closed.
2. Any student arriving at the clinical area later than 30 minutes will be given an
absence. Students arriving 30 minutes or less at the clinical area will receive a tardy.
Students missing 60 minutes or less of classroom during a given day will receive a
tardy. Students missing more than 60 minutes will be given an absence. A tardy or
absence such as arriving late or leaving early may occur at any point during the day.
Students may miss up to 60 minutes of clinical and receive a tardy, with the
exception of the 30 minutes arrival rule (i.e. the student who arrives 15 minutes late
to clinical and leaves 45 minutes early from post-conference would miss 60 minutes
or less and receive a tardy).
3. Three (3) tardies = one (1) absence.
4. Permission to enter the clinical area will be left to the discretion of the clinical
instructor.
A. Students must demonstrate accountability to clients. If a student reports to
clinical with an illness which may pose a threat to clients, he/she will be dismissed
from the clinical area and will receive a clinical absence.
5. The Vocational program expects students to attend all classes/clinicals regularly and
punctually as scheduled.
Classroom
More than three absences may result in dismissal unless an extenuating
circumstance is granted. The student may request to view the CD of the lecture
presented during the absence within one week of return to the classroom or prior to
the Unit exam should it be due the following Monday after the absence. The CD will
be signed out at the front office.
Clinical
More than three absences may result in dismissal unless an extenuating
circumstance is granted. The student will be allowed one (1) excused clinical
absence per semester. The only excused absences are for:
*illness of student or immediate family certified by a personal physician
*serious illness or death in student's immediate family
*being away from the campus with the sanction of the College
*court appearance with prior approval of the team
Additional clinical absences will be required to be made up. Clinical days will be
made up as assigned by clinical instructor.
Should the student miss the make up hours it will be considered an absence.
6. Students missing more than the equivalent of three (3) absences, in any semester
must, upon return to school, make a request to an instructor, the Team Leader or the
Division Chair of Health Occupations, to meet with the Extenuating Circumstances
Committee. The student must provide supporting evidence to validate the necessity
of the absence/tardy. The student may request no more than two (2) extenuating
circumstances meetings per semester. Any further absences/tardies will result in
failure of the program, or withdrawal if prior to the drop date.

Probationary Status:
Probationary criteria will be written in the form of behavioral objectives and recorded in
the document entitled "Report of Unsatisfactory Progress in a Course: Probationary
Status". A time frame for review of status will be specified. The terms of probation will
be discussed with the student and validated by the signatures of the course instructors
and the student. At the end of the specified term of probation, the student's status is
reviewed by the course faculty. This review will be recorded on the document entitled,
"Report of Status Review". If the probation criteria has been met, the student's probation
is lifted. Failure to meet probationary criteria will result in further disciplinary action up to
and including failure from the program. Probation will be contained within the course.

Theory Grades
A percentage grade will be given on the composite of written assignments, classroom
examinations, final examinations, and special projects.

A percentage grade for the course will be based on the following scale:
A = 90 - 100
B = 80 - 89
C = 70 - 79
F = 0 - 69

The student is required to be present for all scheduled exams. If an exam is missed, the
student will be required to take the exam on the first class day upon his/her return to
class. The make-up exam may be different from the original exam. There will be a five
(5) point deduction if a student is absent for an exam.

Test review will be per course syllabus.

After test review, if the student has a concern regarding a question, he/she may take the
textbook(s) (with test present) and verify the answer he/she feels is correct. The student
will be given ample time after test review to complete this activity. When the student has
completed the challenge, he/she will turn the challenge papers with test question
written, answer chosen with textbook reference cited and test into the instructor. At this
point the challenge process ends. The instructor will take the test challenges to the next
team meeting where they will be presented and determined if the student has been able
to validate answers. If it is determined that the answers are valid, the test scores will be
adjusted as applicable. The challenged questions will be reviewed on the next class
day.

Students who make less than 75 on an exam are expected to attend/complete


remediation as scheduled by instructors.

Written Assignments:
All written assignments, classroom or clinical, must be completed and turned in even if
submitted after the due date. Failure to complete all written assignments will result in a

failing (F) grade for the course. This includes all required written assignments except
required written daily clinical paperwork. Required written daily clinical paperwork will be
addressed on the student anecdotal record/clinical evaluation tool.

Clinical And Campus Laboratory Grades


Clinical Grades
In order to pass the clinical portions of the Vocational Nursing Program, every
applicable objective on the summative portion of the tool titled Evaluation of Safe
Clinical Practice should be met at a safe level of competency.

The letter grade for the clinical portion of this course will be based on the evaluation tool
titled Instructor Responses/Clinical Grading. A student receiving three (3) CEs in the
same area on the evaluation tool titled Instructor Responses/Clinical Grading will
receive a “U” in that area, be placed on probation, and their clinical grade will be
decreased by one letter grade. The exception being medication errors: when the
second medication error is made the student will receive a “U”, be placed on probation,
and their clinical grade will be decreased by one letter grade. When the probation
status is implemented the “Probation Status” in a course will be utilized. The instructors
will utilize the following percentages for areas that are checked for continued
enhancement.

Letter Grade Numerical Grade


0 U’s = A = 95
1U = B = 85
2 U’s = C = 75
3 or more U’s = F = 65

All clinical work must be done in a safe and professional manner. A student who fails
clinical will receive an "F" for the course. An unsafe grade on the evaluation of safe
clinical practice tool will result in a failure in the course.

Campus Laboratory Grades


The grade for the lab portions of the Vocational Nursing Program will be based on the
summative portion of the Lab Evaluation Tool utilizing the following percentage of areas
needing improvement.

0 U's = A
1U = B
2 U's = C
3 or more U 's = F

Incomplete Or "X" Grades


Should a student receive an incomplete or "X" grade in a nursing course or a concurrent
support course, and this "X" is not removed by the end of two weeks into the next
semester, he/she may not continue in the nursing program.

Course Requirements and Evaluation


Evaluation Of Clinical Performance
Requirements for Passing the Clinical Component of VNSG 1560:
Statements in the tool titled Summative Evaluation for Clinical Grading are critical

Course # (VNSG 1560.01) – Debbie Bookout Page 4 of 10


C:\Users\ElaPit\Documents\Syllabi for 101s\Word to convert to PDF\VNSG1560 01 101S.doc 
objectives for each phase of the nursing process and essential competencies
established by the Nursing Education Advisory Committee. During each clinical rotation
every applicable objective should be met at a safe level of competency.

Grading Criteria:
A faculty team decision will be made to determine the letter grade for the clinical
component of the course. The grade for VNSG 1560 will be based on the evaluation
tool titled Summative Evaluation for Clinical Grading. At the end of each semester this
tool is used to determine a letter grade for this course. The instructors will review all the
Anecdotal Records of Clinical Experiences for the semester and determine what areas
need continued improvement. To determine the letter grade for the clinical component,
the instructors will utilize the following percentages for areas that are checked for
continued enhancement.

Letter Grade Numerical Grade


0 U’s = A A = 95
1U =B B = 85
2 U's = C C = 75
3 or more U’s = F F = 65

Remember all clinical work must be done in a safe and professional manner. (Please
see Student Handbook.) A student who fails clinical will receive an “F” for the course.

Student’s Self Evaluation and Instructor’s Response


After each rotation the student will have an opportunity to meet with the current clinical
instructor to discuss the student’s performance and progress in the course. Prior to this
conference, the student should complete the form titled Student’s Self Evaluation and
Instructor’s Response and submit it to the student’s current clinical instructor.

Guidelines for Performance which is Unsafe:

1. Should a student receive an unsafe evaluation in any two (2) clinical rotations, a
clinical failure will result.
2. Probationary status: The student will be counseled and given written criteria to assist
in improving clinical performance by a specific date. Notification of removal of
probationary status is given to the student in writing. Any probation in VNSG 1560
will result in a maximum grade of B. If probation is not removed by the set date, the
student will receive a clinical failure.
3. Failure in the clinical component of the nursing course results in failure of the
course.

Course Policies
Electronic Devices
1. Students may use quiet, laptop computers for lecture note taking. Students are not
allowed to tape/record any patient information. If patient information is recorded,
disciplinary action may be taken.

2. No cellular telephones or beepers are permitted in the classroom, laboratory or
clinical areas. P.D.A.’s or smart phones may be used in the clinical area only to
provide point of care information.

Grievance Procedure
Problems of an individual or of a personal nature should be handled in the following
ways: A student may formally express dissatisfaction with his/her progress in the
Associate Degree Nursing Program. Grade disputes should be resolved at the lowest
level possible (i.e., the instructor and student). Recognizing that this is not always
possible, the following procedure has been adopted as policy for resolving grade and
course progress disputes. The steps have been defined to facilitate resolution at the
lowest level and in that interest; the order of steps will at no time be violated. The
grievance procedure must be initiated within two (2) working days of the incident by
which time the student must initiate a "Report of Grievance" with the team leader or
Division Chair of Health Occupations if the team leader is not available.
STEP 1. The student should request an appointment to discuss the case with the faculty
and the team leader of the course. If a satisfactory decision still has not been reached,
the student may request to meet with the Division Chair of the program.
STEP 2. If resolution of the grievance has not been reached under the guidance of the
Division Chair, the student may request an appointment with representative members of
the faculty-as-a-whole. (The definition of faculty-as-a-whole: a representative group of
the LVN, ADN, and a neutral party.) After presentation of the facts to the faculty-as-a-
whole, the faculty vote will be taken by ballot and tallied by the Division Chair of the
program and the neutral party. Failure will require a two-thirds majority vote. The
conference will be recorded on tape and on a Grievance Conference Report form, a
copy of which goes to the student and the original placed in the Confidential File.
STEP 3. If resolution of the grievance has not been reached under the guidance of the
Division Chair, the student may request an appointment with the Vice President of
Workforce Education to present his/her case.

Access to Confidential File


The Confidential File will be kept in the office of the Division Chair of Health
Occupations. Access to the file will be controlled by the Division Chair and limited to the
course faculty directly involved in the particular grievance, and the Vice President of
Workforce Education.

Attendance Policy
Vocational Nursing students will follow the absence and tardy policies of Paris Junior
College as discussed in the current school catalog, with the following modifications
because of the nature of the nursing experience.
1. During inclement weather on clinical days, the student must make his/her own
decision regarding safety for travel to school. A student who decides not to attend
clinical/class because of inclement weather will receive an absence unless official
notification by the college has been made that classes are closed.
2. Any student arriving at the clinical area later than 30 minutes will be given an
absence. Students arriving 30 minutes or less at the clinical area will receive a tardy.

Students missing 60 minutes or less of classroom during a given day will receive a
tardy. Students missing more than 60 minutes will be given an absence. A tardy or
absence such as arriving late or leaving early may occur at any point during the day.
Students may miss up to 60 minutes of clinical and receive a tardy, with the
exception of the 30 minutes arrival rule (i.e. the student who arrives 15 minutes late
to clinical and leaves 45 minutes early from post-conference would miss 60 minutes
or less and receive a tardy).
3. Three (3) tardies = one (1) absence.
4. Permission to enter the clinical area will be left to the discretion of the clinical
instructor.
A. Students must demonstrate accountability to clients. If a student reports to
clinical with an illness which may pose a threat to clients, he/she will be dismissed
from the clinical area and will receive a clinical absence.
5. The Vocational program expects students to attend all classes/clinicals regularly and
punctually as scheduled.
Classroom
More than three absences may result in dismissal unless an extenuating
circumstance is granted. The student may request to view the CD of the lecture
presented during the absence within one week of return to the classroom or prior to
the Unit exam should it be due the following Monday after the absence. The CD will
be signed out at the front office.
Clinical
More than three absences may result in dismissal unless an extenuating
circumstance is granted. The student will be allowed one (1) excused clinical
absence per semester. The only excused absences are for:
*illness of student or immediate family certified by a personal physician
*serious illness or death in student's immediate family
*being away from the campus with the sanction of the College
*court appearance with prior approval of the team
Additional clinical absences will be required to be made up. Clinical days will be
made up as assigned by clinical instructor.
Should the student miss the make up hours it will be considered an absence.
6. Students missing more than the equivalent of three (3) absences, in any semester
must, upon return to school, make a request to an instructor, the Team Leader or the
Division Chair of Health Occupations, to meet with the Extenuating Circumstances
Committee. The student must provide supporting evidence to validate the necessity
of the absence/tardy. The student may request no more than two (2) extenuating
circumstances meetings per semester. Any further absences/tardies will result in
failure of the program, or withdrawal if prior to the drop date.

Probationary Status:
Probationary criteria will be written in the form of behavioral objectives and recorded in
the document entitled "Report of Unsatisfactory Progress in a Course: Probationary
Status". A time frame for review of status will be specified. The terms of probation will
be discussed with the student and validated by the signatures of the course instructors
and the student. At the end of the specified term of probation, the student's status is

Course # (VNSG 1560.01) – Debbie Bookout Page 7 of 10


C:\Users\ElaPit\Documents\Syllabi for 101s\Word to convert to PDF\VNSG1560 01 101S.doc 
reviewed by the course faculty. This review will be recorded on the document entitled,
"Report of Status Review". If the probation criteria has been met, the student's probation
is lifted. Failure to meet probationary criteria will result in further disciplinary action up to
and including failure from the program. Probation will be contained within the course.

Theory Grades
A percentage grade will be given on the composite of written assignments, classroom
examinations, final examinations, and special projects.

A percentage grade for the course will be based on the following scale:
A = 90 - 100
B = 80 - 89
C = 70 - 79
F = 0 - 69

The student is required to be present for all scheduled exams. If an exam is missed, the
student will be required to take the exam on the first class day upon his/her return to
class. The make-up exam may be different from the original exam. There will be a five
(5) point deduction if a student is absent for an exam.

Test review will be per course syllabus.

After test review, if the student has a concern regarding a question, he/she may take the
textbook(s) (with test present) and verify the answer he/she feels is correct. The student
will be given ample time after test review to complete this activity. When the student has
completed the challenge, he/she will turn the challenge papers with test question
written, answer chosen with textbook reference cited and test into the instructor. At this
point the challenge process ends. The instructor will take the test challenges to the next
team meeting where they will be presented and determined if the student has been able
to validate answers. If it is determined that the answers are valid, the test scores will be
adjusted as applicable. The challenged questions will be reviewed on the next class
day.

Students who make less than 75 on an exam are expected to attend/complete


remediation as scheduled by instructors.

Written Assignments:
All written assignments, classroom or clinical, must be completed and turned in even if
submitted after the due date. Failure to complete all written assignments will result in a
failing (F) grade for the course. This includes all required written assignments except
required written daily clinical paperwork. Required written daily clinical paperwork will be
addressed on the student anecdotal record/clinical evaluation tool.

Clinical And Campus Laboratory Grades


Clinical Grades
In order to pass the clinical portions of the Vocational Nursing Program, every

C:\Users\ElaPit\Documents\Syllabi for 101s\Word to convert to PDF\VNSG1560 01 101S.doc 
applicable objective on the summative portion of the tool titled Evaluation of Safe
Clinical Practice should be met at a safe level of competency.

The letter grade for the clinical portion of this course will be based on the evaluation tool
titled Instructor Responses/Clinical Grading. A student receiving three (3) CEs in the
same area on the evaluation tool titled Instructor Responses/Clinical Grading will
receive a “U” in that area, be placed on probation, and their clinical grade will be
decreased by one letter grade. The exception being medication errors: when the
second medication error is made the student will receive a “U”, be placed on probation,
and their clinical grade will be decreased by one letter grade. When the probation
status is implemented the “Probation Status” in a course will be utilized. The instructors
will utilize the following percentages for areas that are checked for continued
enhancement.

Letter Grade Numerical Grade


0 U’s = A = 95
1U = B = 85
2 U’s = C = 75
3 or more U’s = F = 65

All clinical work must be done in a safe and professional manner. A student who fails
clinical will receive an "F" for the course. An unsafe grade on the evaluation of safe
clinical practice tool will result in a failure in the course.

Campus Laboratory Grades


The grade for the lab portions of the Vocational Nursing Program will be based on the
summative portion of the Lab Evaluation Tool utilizing the following percentage of areas
needing improvement.

0 U's = A
1U = B
2 U's = C
3 or more U 's = F

Incomplete Or "X" Grades


Should a student receive an incomplete or "X" grade in a nursing course or a concurrent
support course, and this "X" is not removed by the end of two weeks into the next
semester, he/she may not continue in the nursing program.

Course Requirements and Evaluation


Evaluation Of Clinical Performance
Requirements for Passing the Clinical Component of VNSG 1560:
Statements in the tool titled Summative Evaluation for Clinical Grading are critical

Course # (VNSG 1560.40) – Debbie Bookout Page 4 of 10


C:\Users\ElaPit\Documents\Syllabi for 101s\Word to convert to PDF\VNSG1560 40 101S.doc 
objectives for each phase of the nursing process and essential competencies
established by the Nursing Education Advisory Committee. During each clinical rotation
every applicable objective should be met at a safe level of competency.

Grading Criteria:
A faculty team decision will be made to determine the letter grade for the clinical
component of the course. The grade for VNSG 1560 will be based on the evaluation
tool titled Summative Evaluation for Clinical Grading. At the end of each semester this
tool is used to determine a letter grade for this course. The instructors will review all the
Anecdotal Records of Clinical Experiences for the semester and determine what areas
need continued improvement. To determine the letter grade for the clinical component,
the instructors will utilize the following percentages for areas that are checked for
continued enhancement.

Letter Grade Numerical Grade


0 U’s = A A = 95
1U =B B = 85
2 U's = C C = 75
3 or more U’s = F F = 65

Remember all clinical work must be done in a safe and professional manner. (Please
see Student Handbook.) A student who fails clinical will receive an “F” for the course.

Student’s Self Evaluation and Instructor’s Response


After each rotation the student will have an opportunity to meet with the current clinical
instructor to discuss the student’s performance and progress in the course. Prior to this
conference, the student should complete the form titled Student’s Self Evaluation and
Instructor’s Response and submit it to the student’s current clinical instructor.

Guidelines for Performance which is Unsafe:

1. Should a student receive an unsafe evaluation in any two (2) clinical rotations, a
clinical failure will result.
2. Probationary status: The student will be counseled and given written criteria to assist
in improving clinical performance by a specific date. Notification of removal of
probationary status is given to the student in writing. Any probation in VNSG 1560
will result in a maximum grade of B. If probation is not removed by the set date, the
student will receive a clinical failure.
3. Failure in the clinical component of the nursing course results in failure of the
course.

Course Policies
Electronic Devices
1. Students may use quiet, laptop computers for lecture note taking. Students are not
allowed to tape/record any patient information. If patient information is recorded,
disciplinary action may be taken.

Course # (VNSG 1560.40) – Debbie Bookout Page 5 of 10


C:\Users\ElaPit\Documents\Syllabi for 101s\Word to convert to PDF\VNSG1560 40 101S.doc 
2. No cellular telephones or beepers are permitted in the classroom, laboratory or
clinical areas. P.D.A.’s or smart phones may be used in the clinical area only to
provide point of care information.

Grievance Procedure
Problems of an individual or of a personal nature should be handled in the following
ways: A student may formally express dissatisfaction with his/her progress in the
Associate Degree Nursing Program. Grade disputes should be resolved at the lowest
level possible (i.e., the instructor and student). Recognizing that this is not always
possible, the following procedure has been adopted as policy for resolving grade and
course progress disputes. The steps have been defined to facilitate resolution at the
lowest level and in that interest; the order of steps will at no time be violated. The
grievance procedure must be initiated within two (2) working days of the incident by
which time the student must initiate a "Report of Grievance" with the team leader or
Division Chair of Health Occupations if the team leader is not available.
STEP 1. The student should request an appointment to discuss the case with the faculty
and the team leader of the course. If a satisfactory decision still has not been reached,
the student may request to meet with the Division Chair of the program.
STEP 2. If resolution of the grievance has not been reached under the guidance of the
Division Chair, the student may request an appointment with representative members of
the faculty-as-a-whole. (The definition of faculty-as-a-whole: a representative group of
the LVN, ADN, and a neutral party.) After presentation of the facts to the faculty-as-a-
whole, the faculty vote will be taken by ballot and tallied by the Division Chair of the
program and the neutral party. Failure will require a two-thirds majority vote. The
conference will be recorded on tape and on a Grievance Conference Report form, a
copy of which goes to the student and the original placed in the Confidential File.
STEP 3. If resolution of the grievance has not been reached under the guidance of the
Division Chair, the student may request an appointment with the Vice President of
Workforce Education to present his/her case.

Access to Confidential File


The Confidential File will be kept in the office of the Division Chair of Health
Occupations. Access to the file will be controlled by the Division Chair and limited to the
course faculty directly involved in the particular grievance, and the Vice President of
Workforce Education.

Attendance Policy
Vocational Nursing students will follow the absence and tardy policies of Paris Junior
College as discussed in the current school catalog, with the following modifications
because of the nature of the nursing experience.
1. During inclement weather on clinical days, the student must make his/her own
decision regarding safety for travel to school. A student who decides not to attend
clinical/class because of inclement weather will receive an absence unless official
notification by the college has been made that classes are closed.
2. Any student arriving at the clinical area later than 30 minutes will be given an
absence. Students arriving 30 minutes or less at the clinical area will receive a tardy.

tardy. Students missing more than 60 minutes will be given an absence. A tardy or
absence such as arriving late or leaving early may occur at any point during the day.
Students may miss up to 60 minutes of clinical and receive a tardy, with the
exception of the 30 minutes arrival rule (i.e. the student who arrives 15 minutes late
to clinical and leaves 45 minutes early from post-conference would miss 60 minutes
or less and receive a tardy).
3. Three (3) tardies = one (1) absence.
4. Permission to enter the clinical area will be left to the discretion of the clinical
instructor.
A. Students must demonstrate accountability to clients. If a student reports to
clinical with an illness which may pose a threat to clients, he/she will be dismissed
from the clinical area and will receive a clinical absence.
5. The Vocational program expects students to attend all classes/clinicals regularly and
punctually as scheduled.
Classroom
More than three absences may result in dismissal unless an extenuating
circumstance is granted. The student may request to view the CD of the lecture
presented during the absence within one week of return to the classroom or prior to
the Unit exam should it be due the following Monday after the absence. The CD will
be signed out at the front office.
Clinical
More than three absences may result in dismissal unless an extenuating
circumstance is granted. The student will be allowed one (1) excused clinical
absence per semester. The only excused absences are for:
*illness of student or immediate family certified by a personal physician

*being away from the campus with the sanction of the College
*court appearance with prior approval of the team
Additional clinical absences will be required to be made up. Clinical days will be
made up as assigned by clinical instructor.
Should the student miss the make up hours it will be considered an absence.
6. Students missing more than the equivalent of three (3) absences, in any semester
must, upon return to school, make a request to an instructor, the Team Leader or the
Division Chair of Health Occupations, to meet with the Extenuating Circumstances
Committee. The student must provide supporting evidence to validate the necessity
of the absence/tardy. The student may request no more than two (2) extenuating
circumstances meetings per semester. Any further absences/tardies will result in
failure of the program, or withdrawal if prior to the drop date.

Probationary Status:
Probationary criteria will be written in the form of behavioral objectives and recorded in
the document entitled "Report of Unsatisfactory Progress in a Course: Probationary
Status". A time frame for review of status will be specified. The terms of probation will
be discussed with the student and validated by the signatures of the course instructors

reviewed by the course faculty. This review will be recorded on the document entitled,
"Report of Status Review". If the probation criteria has been met, the student's probation
is lifted. Failure to meet probationary criteria will result in further disciplinary action up to
and including failure from the program. Probation will be contained within the course.

Theory Grades
A percentage grade will be given on the composite of written assignments, classroom
examinations, final examinations, and special projects.

A percentage grade for the course will be based on the following scale:
A = 90 - 100
B = 80 - 89
C = 70 - 79
F = 0 - 69

The student is required to be present for all scheduled exams. If an exam is missed, the
student will be required to take the exam on the first class day upon his/her return to
class. The make-up exam may be different from the original exam. There will be a five
(5) point deduction if a student is absent for an exam.

Test review will be per course syllabus.

After test review, if the student has a concern regarding a question, he/she may take the
textbook(s) (with test present) and verify the answer he/she feels is correct. The student
will be given ample time after test review to complete this activity. When the student has
completed the challenge, he/she will turn the challenge papers with test question
written, answer chosen with textbook reference cited and test into the instructor. At this
point the challenge process ends. The instructor will take the test challenges to the next
team meeting where they will be presented and determined if the student has been able
to validate answers. If it is determined that the answers are valid, the test scores will be
adjusted as applicable. The challenged questions will be reviewed on the next class
day.

Students who make less than 75 on an exam are expected to attend/complete


remediation as scheduled by instructors.

Written Assignments:
All written assignments, classroom or clinical, must be completed and turned in even if
submitted after the due date. Failure to complete all written assignments will result in a
failing (F) grade for the course. This includes all required written assignments except
required written daily clinical paperwork. Required written daily clinical paperwork will be
addressed on the student anecdotal record/clinical evaluation tool.

Clinical And Campus Laboratory Grades


Clinical Grades
In order to pass the clinical portions of the Vocational Nursing Program, every

C:\Users\ElaPit\Documents\Syllabi for 101s\Word to convert to PDF\VNSG1560 40 101S.doc 
applicable objective on the summative portion of the tool titled Evaluation of Safe
Clinical Practice should be met at a safe level of competency.

The letter grade for the clinical portion of this course will be based on the evaluation tool
titled Instructor Responses/Clinical Grading. A student receiving three (3) CEs in the
same area on the evaluation tool titled Instructor Responses/Clinical Grading will
receive a “U” in that area, be placed on probation, and their clinical grade will be
decreased by one letter grade. The exception being medication errors: when the
second medication error is made the student will receive a “U”, be placed on probation,
and their clinical grade will be decreased by one letter grade. When the probation
status is implemented the “Probation Status” in a course will be utilized. The instructors
will utilize the following percentages for areas that are checked for continued
enhancement.

Letter Grade Numerical Grade


0 U’s = A = 95
1U = B = 85
2 U’s = C = 75
3 or more U’s = F = 65

All clinical work must be done in a safe and professional manner. A student who fails
clinical will receive an "F" for the course. An unsafe grade on the evaluation of safe
clinical practice tool will result in a failure in the course.

Campus Laboratory Grades


The grade for the lab portions of the Vocational Nursing Program will be based on the
summative portion of the Lab Evaluation Tool utilizing the following percentage of areas
needing improvement.

0 U's = A
1U = B
2 U's = C
3 or more U 's = F

Incomplete Or "X" Grades


Should a student receive an incomplete or "X" grade in a nursing course or a concurrent
support course, and this "X" is not removed by the end of two weeks into the next
semester, he/she may not continue in the nursing program.

Guidelines For Campus Laboratory Use


1. The laboratory is available for student use.
2. Each student is responsible for replacing supplies and/or equipment in the proper
place after use.
3. Any items which are defective should be reported to a nursing instructor/nursing
secretary. This is to assure that as many items as possible may be kept available
for student use.
