LEARNING RESOURCE CENTER/INTERNET ASSIGNMENT:
The student will complete a typed report including references for a specific heart disease. This report will be presented to the class. Credit will be given for research, preparation as well as presentation. Resource material may be obtained from the Learning Center or Ebrary database or ProQuest (icon is on computer desktop).
LEARNING RESOURCE CENTER INFORMATION:
Robin McGinnis, Coordinator
Office Hours: 8am – 5:30pm Mon – Thurs, 8am – 2pm Fridays
The LRC is open to student
8am – 9pm Mon – Thurs
8am – 2pm on Fridays
THE PACIFIC INSTITUTE ELEMENT:
This course will provide the student with a fundamental understanding of the heart anatomy and the ability to apply heart anatomy knowledge to understand common heart diseases, such as cardiomyopathy, hypertension, coronary artery disease, and valvular dysfunction.
PORTFOLIO PROJECT: Each student will receive an outline identifying the new skills they have mastered for their portfolio. Portfolio will be reviewed at end of course for completeness.
COURSE/CLASSROOM POLICIES:
Participation/Professionalism:
Each student must accept responsibility in the use of the facilities at Daymar and obey the policies and procedures. The instructor will conduct this class in a mature manner. It is expected that each student will act in the same adult manner when interacting with classmates and the instructor. It is my responsibility to maintain an atmosphere conducive to learning in the classroom, and I will do so. Please spare everyone the stress and embarrassment by being courteous and obeying classroom rules.
Attendance:
Students are expected to attend all scheduled courses in order to achieve the learning goals of their program. Prospective employers are often as concerned with applicants’ school attendance records as with their academic records. Attendance has a direct bearing on the students’ final grade in each course. If a student has been out of school for 14 consecutive days, the student will be withdrawn from school. Refer to Unofficial Withdrawal in the catalog.
Internet Usage: There is to be no Internet surfing during class time unless instructed by the instructor.
Tardiness:
Attendance is recorded during the first ten minutes of each class session. The instructor updates the attendance record at the end of each class. If you know you will be late, please call Daymar and leave a message for your instructor.
Late Work:
Assignment due dates will be announced in class and will allow sufficient time for each assignment to be completed. Late homework, papers, etc. will be penalized. In-class assignments, quizzes, presentations, and other daily work cannot be made up. The instructor may extend an assignment due date for a student based upon individual circumstances. However, the situation must first be discussed and approved by the instructor.
Completion Of Course Work:
All course work must be turned in by the last day of class. Work turned in after the last day of class will not be accepted for credit except under special circumstances approved by the Director of Education and/or the Campus Director.
Dress:
Students are required to dress in attire appropriate for a college classroom, and are to refrain from wearing clothing that might be considered “distracting” to others in the classroom. In addition, the curriculum has assignments in which a student’s professional appearance will be evaluated as part of the overall grade of the assignment.
Decorum:
The following are some behaviors inappropriate for a college classroom:
*sleeping in class *children in class *unauthorized visitors
*rude behavior * interrupting speakers *profane language
Cell phones: A communication devices MUST be turned off or put on silent mode during class time. Text messaging is not allowed during instructional time.
Academic Dishonesty:
Plagiarism is defined as an act or instance of stealing or passing off the ideas or words of another as one’s own, or to use a creative production without crediting the source. Incidences of academic dishonesty will result in severe penalty up to and including a failing grade for the course, as well as being noted on the student’s permanent record. Additional incidences of academic dishonesty could result in a student’s permanent expulsion from Daymar.
