ATTENDANCE: ATTENDANCE IS MANDATORY. Attendance will be taken at the beginning of each class. If a student is not present when attendance is taken, they will be counted absent even if they show up late.

A student will be withdrawn from the class if absences (total hours) exceed 10% of the total contact hours. That’s a total of 12 hours. The hours include lecture (1 hour each) and lab (3 hours each). In the event of a serious illness that exceeds the 10% allowable absences, a physician’s excuse must be presented which states the diagnosis and the length of time the student must be away from the class. There are no excused and unexcused absences. Any time out is an absence no matter the excuse. It is the student’s responsibility to keep up with the number of any hours she/he has missed.

If you are to be out, you MUST call Mrs. Moyers at 839 - 1062 to report an absence. Dental, doctor and other personal appointments MUST be scheduled outside class hours.

For any absences or tardiness, the student is responsible for the material covered and submitting any homework or other material that was done prior to their arrival. It is the student’s responsibility to obtain the handouts (if applicable) that were distributed during the class time that was missed. The instructor will have them for you in her office.

Homework will be due at the beginning of the class for which it is due. It is the student’s responsibility to pass the homework to the front of the class for the instructor to collect or place it in the instructor’s file box. Homework will be considered late if turned in after it has been collected by the instructor and will have grading deducted from the 92% level. For Case Study and Critical Thinking questions, answers must be in the student’s own word. Copying your answers from the textbook or a classmate’s homework is plagiarism and may result in being dismissed from the program. If the student is absent the day the homework was due, it will only be accepted the next class meeting after the day the homework was due.

MAKE-UP TEST POLICY: Make-up tests will be given at the discretion of the instructor and only if absent on the day of the test. A doctor’s excuse or mechanic’s bill will need to be presented for verification. The grading will begin at the 92% grade and wrong answers will be deducted from that point. The student is to take the test the first day they return to school and is to be prepared to take the test that day. NO EXCUSES. If the student fails to take the test then, another time will not be available and a zero will be given for the grade on that test. It is the student’s responsibility to approach the instructor to take any missed tests THERE WILL BE NO MAKE-UPS FOR MISSED QUIZZES! If the student wishes to take their written test at the testing center, an appointment must be made with the testing center. Appointments MUST be made 24 hours in advance. The testing center will not accept same day appointments. It is the student’s responsibility to make the appointment and inform the instructor of the appointment time. However, the test must still be taken on the first day the student returns to school. NO EXCUSES. This means the student must contact the Testing Center the day before they return to school so they can take the test within the required time frame as previously stated.

ASSESSMENT MEASURES: Course Requirements: 1. Successful completion of tests and examinations and demonstration of clinical procedure via clinical competency examination with a 77% grade or better.

STUDENTS WHO DO NOT MEET THE MINIMUM STANDARDS FOR THE COURSE WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO PROGRESS IN THE EXPANDED DUTY DENTAL ASSISTING PROGRAM.

Final Grade Determination: 1. The final grade is based on a combination of the grades you earned in both the lecture and lab portions of this course. You will be required to pass both portions of this course in order to be eligible to progress in the curriculum. 2. A passing grade in the lecture (didactic) portion of the course is 77%. 3. A passing grade in the lab portion of this course is 77%. 4. If you make a 95% in the clinical portion but make a 70% in the didactic portion, even though when averaged together, your score is 83%, you will not be allowed to progress in the curriculum. The non-passing grade of 70% prevents this from happening. 5. If this happens and you would like to continue your Expanded Duty Dental Assisting education, you may reapply for this course and the Expanded Duty Dental Assisting Program the next time the course is offered, which will be Fall semester, 2014.

Didactic Grading Scale: Evaluation: 93 - 100 A WRITTEN TESTS 35% 85 - 92 B PRACTICAL TESTS 35% 77 - 84 C HOMEWORK 10% 69 - 76 D PROFESSIONAL DEV. 5% 68 - Below F FINAL EXAM 15%

Grades earned in courses impact academic progression and financial aid status. Before withdrawing from a course, be sure to talk with your instructor and financial aid counselor about the implications of that course of action. Ds, Fs, Ws, WFs and Is also negatively impact academic progression and financial aid status.

The Add/Drop Period is the first 5 days of the semester for full term classes. Add/Drop periods are shorter for accelerated format courses. The following week of the semester is Financial Aid Attendance Verification period. You must attend at least one meeting of all of your classes during that period. If you do not, you will be dropped from the course(s) and your Financial Aid will be reduced accordingly.

REMEDIATION/ENRICHMENT In order to keep the student on track for success in the course, the faculty will be tracking assignments and test grades. If any assignments/grades fall below a 77 (“C”), the student will be referred to the course instructor or the SSTC (Student Success and Technology Center) for guidance and assistance. There is a Dental Sciences faculty member available at the SSTC for tutoring. Faculty members are available for remediation throughout the semester. At times, the student will be asked to spend additional hours outside of class time to work on clinical skills, course content comprehension, etc. for improvement. It is recommended that the student seek help early in the semester so there will be enough time to improve the grade.
