WSU Course Requirements: STUDENT RESPONSOBILITY To receive a quality grade, students should expect to spend a minimum of 12 or more hours per week studying outside of class. This is a university course, and concurrent students will have the same expectation as campus students. The student is individually responsible for, knowledge of, and compliance with all regulations, rules, procedures and schedules. Failure to be informed or to comply will not excuse students from responsibility or from any penalty or difficulty encountered as a result of non-compliance.

It is suggested that students read the end-of-the-year comments from students last year to get a better idea of their experience and what to be prepared for. The comments are on the Health Sciences department website under the 1105/1106 link.

ATTENDANCE: Weber State University does not require class attendance. However, it is required to be in class for reviews and labs for participation points. Weber School District students should not miss more the five scheduled classes in the semester, and students should be on time.

EMAIL CORRESPONDENCE: To minimize confusion and time delay, students must include their class (1105 or 1106) and site location in the subject line of every email they send to the professor. In the WSU registration system, each high school is treated like a separate class, so clear communication is very important.

LITERATURE REVIEW PAPER: Students enrolled in the Health Sciences 1105 are required to submit an APA-formatted literature review paper. Instructions on this paper will be presented in class. Instructions and resources for writing the literature review are available on the Health Sciences department website.

EXAMS: Module exams will be given after the completion of each learning module in the study notes. The format is multiple-choice with approximately 50 questions on each exam. Each module exam is worth 100 points. Students taking exams late may have up to 10% deducted from their test score.

If a student knows that they will miss an examination, they can make arrangement to take it early with their high school instructor. The final exam may NOT be taken late and will consist of 100 multiple-choice questions. A list of selected course objectives for the final exam is available on the Health Sciences department website.

Testing is computerized and a wildcat username and password are required. At the conclusion of each examination, a student’s score will immediately be available, and they will be able to review the questions they missed. This will be the ONLY time questions will be reviewable. LABS: Completing laboratory activities is mandatory and beneficial to succeed in this course. Attendance and participation in each lab is worth 5 points per lab session.

COURSE CONTENT DISCLAIMER: Students are enrolled in a health science course in which mention may be made of AIDS, birth control, reproduction, teenage pregnancy, sexually transmitted diseases, and related issues.

You can earn an additional 4 hours of Life Science GEN ED credit by taking The Challenge Exam at the end of your course.

Grading Students are encouraged to check their grade and scores on a regular basis. Questions regarding posted scores should be brought to the instructor’s attention immediately.

All students are asked to review the college and department cheating policies on the Health Sciences department website. Just in case there is a question, the policies will be enforced.

WSU Student Code of Conduct HEALTH SCIENCES CHEATING POLICY

Health Sciences students are subject to cheating policies, codes, definitions and sanctions established by Weber State University (PPM 6-22), by the Dr. Ezekiel R. Dumke College of Health Professions, by other departments and by the Health Sciences program. Specific Health Sciences sanctions that typically apply to cheating during test-taking or cheating on class assignments are listed below.

1. Warning. A warning will be issued if the incident cannot be verified beyond a reasonable doubt. A warning is a verbal or written notice to a student that his or her conduct may be in violation of WSU rules and regulations and that the continuation of such conduct or actions may result in further disciplinary action.

2. Zero Score. A student found cheating one time will receive a zero (“0") score for that specific exam, assignment or grade. The grade may not be omitted from the class average. A report of the student’s name, class, behavior and resulting disciplinary action will be submitted to the teacher and the Health Sciences Department. Any requests by the student for program reference letters will not be honored by Health Science faculty.

3. Failure of Course. A student found cheating two or more times will receive an “E” (failure) and no credits for the course. A report of the student’s name, class, behavior and resulting disciplinary action will be sent to the programs within the Dumke College of Health Professions and the University.

Letters of Recommendation: Because the Health Science 1105 and 1106 courses are prerequisites for many of the Dumke College of Health Professions programs, students often request a letter of recommendation from the instructor. If a student is not achieving a grade of a B or higher in the course, their request for a letter will be denied. 1105/1106 Syllabus Agreement
