Lab Grades
|
|
|
|
Labs are worth 3 points each
|
|
|
|
LABS NOT TURNED IN ON TIME HAVE A MINIMUM 1 POINT DEDUCTION.
|
|
|
|
This is whether you are absent or not. YOU are responsible to get information/assignments from class periods you miss. You can call a lab partner or the instructor; or access the website for information. You can come, deliver your assignments and leave, mail it, e-mail it, FAX it, or have someone else bring it in. The date on the postal stamp is the date you turned it in. Please always retain a copy if you mail it in. Labs over one week late will receive no credit.
|
|
|
|
You have the due dates for each of the labs on your schedule, plan ahead, stay ahead. All necessary resources are in your module and text. Additional resources are on lab computers and on the class website.
|
|
|
|
RATIONALE: When you are in a clinic and you have a patient’s treatment plan or case report due on a specific day – it MUST be delivered. The rest of the staff cannot put off meeting because you are sick nor had something else to do. Patient stays are too short to miss even one day of competent care. Even when we (the staff) have a death in the family, we wrap-up patient care needs to transition them until we can resume work.
|
|
|
|
Labs turned in – not completed will receive no points. They will be considered the same as late.
|
|
|
|
Labs turned in that are not correct will have 1-3 points deducted. You can correct your errors and get all your points back if the lab was: 1. on time; 2. Complete when turned in. |
