Student
Responsibility
|
To receive a quality grade, students should expect to
spend a minimum of 12 or more hours per week studying outside of
class. 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, each high school may decide to use attendance as part of
the high school grade.
|
|
|
|
|
Email
Correspondence
|
To minimize confusion and time delay, students must include
their class (1105 or 1106) and site location with every email they send to
the professor.

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 50 or more questions on each
exam. Each module exam is worth 100
points. Your lowest exam score
(excluding the final) will be dropped. However, you MUST take every
exam. Any missed exam will count and
NOT be dropped. Due to the fact that
the lowest exam score is dropped, final grade percentages will not be
rounded to the nearest whole number. Students taking exams
late may have up to 10% deducted from their test score. If you know that you will miss an
examination, you can make arrangements to take it early. The final exams may NOT be taken late and
will consist of 100 multiple-choice questions. Lists of selected objectives for the
final exams are available on the Health Sciences department website.
Testing is computerized and your wildcat userID and
password are required. At the
conclusion of each examination, your score will immediately be available,
and you will be able to review the questions you have missed. This will be the only time
you will be able to review the exam.

|
|
Grading
|
Once students are completely enrolled, grades will be
posted online at http://www.weber.edu. 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.

Course Content
Disclaimer
|
You 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. In addition, digital videos of medical
surgical procedures may be used in which sex organs may be visible for
brief periods of time. The health
sciences department presents this type of information in a professional
manner. This course material is
required for all professionals in the health care fields.

Letters of
Recommendation
|
Because the Hthsci 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.
