VII. Time Commitment Expected per Semester-Hour Credit
Earning one semester hour of undergraduate credit requires a minimum of one hour of classroom or direct
instruction each week for a full semester and a minimum of two hours of out-of-class student work each
week for a semester, or its equivalent.
An equivalent amount of work (minimum three hours per week for a semester, or its equivalent of combined
direct instruction and outside-of-class student work) is used as the measurement for a credit hour in other
credit-bearing activities, such as laboratory experiences, service-learning, internships, practica, clinicals,
studio work, and other academic experiences.
Credit Hour Allocation:
Four semester hours divided as:
2.5 credit theory (37.5 clock hours), and
1.5 credit practicum (67.5 hours over 7 weeks)
VIII. Teaching Strategies:
Lecture/Discussion
Direct patient care
Formal written paper
Case Studies
Wiki Pages
Evidence based oral presentations
Patient Assessment & Growth and Development Evaluation
Simulation
Adaptive Quizzing
IX. Attendance Policy:
Attendance is required at all class and clinical sessions. Students are expected to be prepared and to
participate in weekly group discussions and clinical conferences. Completion of assignments is expected prior
to presentation and discussion in class. In the event the student must be absent from either a theory class or
clinical session due to illness or special circumstances, faculty must be notified as soon as possible. Students
MUST show faculty the “green check mark” from return safe app prior to entering the classroom or any on
campus activity. Students will be required to make up missed clinical time. Clinical make-up opportunities
cannot be guaranteed. Multiple absences in one clinical semester may result in failure of the course related
to limited make-up availability. Please see student handbook for further details.
X. Learner Centered Community:
A learner-centered community builds upon the relationship between the teacher and student, placing the
student at the center of the educational experience. The responsibility for learning rests with the student,
while the teacher facilitates the education. The approach is individualistic, adaptive, respectful of the learner
and teacher, and requires intrinsic motivation on the part of the student. The active process involves a
variety of educational strategies, including the exploration of meaning and content knowledge that promotes
self- growth and has a positive influence on the interactions with others.
XI. Civility in the classroom, clinical or lab area:
Students are expected to be professional in all interactions with other students and instructors.
Conversations with classmates during lecture, texting on cell phones, use of computers for anything other
than course- related materials and coming to class late is considered disruptive to others.

XII. Exam statement:
Exam schedules are included in each course syllabus. Students should take note of the exam schedule at the
beginning of the semester and plan accordingly. Students are expected to take exams as scheduled. If an
emergency occurs that causes a student to be absent for an exam, it is the student’s professional
responsibility to notify the faculty as soon as possible and to make arrangements for making up the exam.
This includes completing the Alternate Testing Form (available from the Office Coordinator near D-113). The
make-up exam will be scheduled at the faculty’s convenience and must be made up within 72 hours except in
unusually extenuating circumstances (e.g.- documented hospitalization). The make-up test will be different in
format from the exam given in the classroom. Only one make up exam is allowed in a nursing course. If more
than one make-up exam is requested, in the same term; the student will be required to meet with the
Undergraduate Chair. All students must be in MU scrubs for testing. Must have MU photo ID, no others will
be accepted. Students will use Respondus Lock Down Browser for all exams in the Fall 2020-21 semester.
Patterns of alternate test-taking will be monitored by the undergraduate coordinators and may result in the
student being placed on a contract regarding rescheduled exams.
Students may leave exam room at faculty discretion. No restroom breaks are permitted during testing
unless documentation accommodations through the Disabilities Services office. Student should plan to use
the restroom prior to exam.
There is a 2-week time frame to review an exam. If you fail a test you are strongly encouraged to meet with
the faculty responsible for that theory content. You will not be allowed to review the final exam. The final
exam, which is comprehensive, will be taken in the classroom during week 16, date to be announced.
Accommodation for Testing:
Alternate arrangements for learning/testing are available for students with officially validated special needs.
This validation of special needs must be registered with the Center for Disability Resources (CDR). It is the
student’s responsibility to contact ODR as early as possible to make these arrangements. The form for
notification of faculty must be provided to the faculty at least 7 days prior to the scheduled test date. Students
who test in the CDR area should test as close as possible to the normal testing schedule. Any alteration in the
scheduled test time, once agreed upon by the student, faculty and CDR staff, will be treated the same as an
exam given in the classroom.
Please contact an CDR advisor for assistance (734-5639, Room 1113 C).
XIII. Late Assignment Policy
For any late assignments, a 5% deduction will take place for each day the assignment is late. If the assignment
is turned in 7 days after the due date, students will receive a 0 on that assignment. There are no partial
credits.
XIV. ATI Policy
ATI exams are considered an effective way to identify learning needs and offer reinforcement for students.
They are nationally normed and research shows that passing scores correlate with NCLEX success. All
students must score at Proficiency Level 2 (80%) on the Nursing Care of Children RN Proctored Exam.
Following remediation, one retake of the ATI RN Proctored Exam is allowed. The purpose of remediation is to
improve student’s critical thinking, reasoning skills, and test taking strategies in order to facilitate NCLEX
success.
