7242 Health Science II Syllabus
Fall 2011-2012
Melinda Atkinson, RN, BSN, CNOR
This course is designed to help students expand their understanding of financing and
trends of health care agencies, fundamentals of wellness, legal and ethical issues,
concepts of teamwork, and effective communication. Students will learn health care
skills, including current CPR and first aid training. English language arts and science
are reinforced in this course. Health Occupations Students of America (HOSA)
competitive events, community service, and leadership activities provide the opportunity
to apply essential standards.
Make Up Work
Tests, Quizzes, and homework may be made up for excused absences. The student is responsible for arranging makeup work and securing class work missed. If the student needs to stay after school to make up work a date and time will be agreed upon by the student and the teacher.
Grading system
Tests/Projects 100%

All work is equally important and therefore counts equally.
*** The Final Exam however counts 25% .
All students must take the final exam there are no exemptions. A score of 80% on each test is required. If you make less than 80% you will need to retake the test. Your test scores will be averaged together for your test grade on that unit.
CPR and first aid will be offered at a cost of $5.00. I need the money by Sept. 6, 2011.
