SCANS:
The
Secretarys commission on Achieving Necessary Skills (SCANS) has identified (1)
reading, (2) writing, (3) mathematics, (4) speaking and listening, (5) thinking
skills, (6) personal qualities, (7) workplace competencies, and (8) basic use
of computers as competencies required to enter employment.

Attendance:
Students
are expected to attend all class, lab, and clinical sessions unless they are
officially excused. An official absence
is granted when such absence is caused by official participation in a college
activity and the instructor is informed in advance. All other absences are unofficial. Absences
caused by unavoidable conditions, such as illness, should be reported to the
instructor by the start of class (281.312.1599).
Absences will impact the final average with the first absence
counting one (1) point, the second absence two (2) points, the third absence
five (5) points, and each absence following a ten (10) point reduction.
Each tardy will result in the deduction of 0.33%
from the final grade average for this course.
A tardy is inclusive of leaving class within thirty minutes before
dismissal, as well as taking leave during class or labs for longer than a
reasonable amount of time. Tardiness of
more than thirty minutes will be considered a half-day absence. Leaving a class/lab early or for extended
periods will be calculated as a tardy or absence, depending on the amount of
time missed.

Research Paper:
Each student will prepare a research
paper concerning a respiratory disease that will be assigned in the first
week. This paper must incorporate the pathophysiology, prevention,
pharmacological treatment, and therapeutic interventions of this disease
process. The research paper MUST be a minimum of five typed pages
in length using 12 font, double spacing and standard margins. If
the research paper is turned in handwritten, it will be returned to the student
for word processing. This paper must be cited and contain a
reference page with a minimum of five references
(APA format) as follows: two (2) books (not classroom textbooks), two (2)
periodicals (medical journals) and one (1) on-line internet references (Web
site). These web pages must be official support group pages such as The
American Lung Association, pages associated with a hospital/clinic or
peer-reviewed web pages. It is acceptable to use your textbooks in
addition to the above types of references.

Academic Integrity Academic
Integrity (per NHMCCD Catalogue)
NHMCCD is committed to a high standard of
academic integrity in the academic community. In becoming a part of the
academic community, students are responsible for honesty and independent
effort. Failure to uphold these standards includes, but is not limited
to, the following: plagiarizing written work or projects, cheating on exams or
assignments, collusion on an exam or project, and misrepresentation of
credentials or prerequisites when registering for a course. Cheating
includes looking at or copying from another students exam, orally
communicating or receiving answers during an exam, having another person take
an exam or complete a project or assignment, using unauthorized notes, texts,
or other materials for an exam, and obtaining or distributing an unauthorized
copy of an exam or any part of an exam. Plagiarism means passing off as ones
own the ideas or writings of another (that is, without giving proper credit by
documenting sources). Plagiarism includes submitting a paper, report or
project that someone else has prepared, in whole or in part. Collusion is
inappropriately collaborating on assignments designed to be completed
individually. These definitions are not exhaustive.
When
there is clear evidence of cheating, plagiarism, collusion, or
misrepresentation, a faculty member will take disciplinary action including but
not limited to: requiring the student to retake or resubmit an exam or
assignment, assigning a grade of zero or F for an exam or assignment, or
assigning a grade of F for the course. Additional sanctions including
being withdrawn from the course/program or being expelled from school may be
imposed on a student who violates the standards of academic integrity.

Research papers are to be done
individually and independently of the oral presentation. The grade from
the research paper will count as 10% in the computation of the final score for
this course. The research paper is due Monday, October 15, 2007.
Late papers will not be accepted.
Oral Presentation
Each student will prepare a ten to fifteen
minute oral report on the topic researched for the research paper. This
report will be a shortened presentation of the material researched. Note
cards are suggested for reference during your presentation. Visual
aids are required for this lecture. Oral presentations will be
assigned according to the schedule in class (TBD).
The purpose the oral report is to aid the
student in developing oral communication skills and self-confidence with
his/her verbal skills.

final score for this course.
Homework:
NO
LATE HOMEWORK WILL BE ACCEPTED. Homework
will account for 5% of the final average.
The average will include assigned homework (see below) and daily quiz
grades when oral presentations begin.
Daily quizzes can not be made up; if a student is absent/tardy
he will receive a zero (0) for the quiz.

and Holidays:
Course Drop Students are
required to talk with their instructor before attempting to drop this or any
other course.
Grading: If notified
in advance, an exam may be taken early for full credit, but exams taken late
will be graded based on 75% as highest possible grade. For example: a 95% on a
late test based on this formula would result in a grade of 71%. Any missed
exams must be made up and the grade applied in this manner. All exams that were
failed (less than a 75%) must be have remediation complete before December 14th or the student
will be given an incomplete for the course.
Unit exams 75%
Written research 10%
Oral Presentation 10%
Homework 5%
The following numerical ranges correspond to letter
grades within the respiratory therapist program: A = 90 - 100
B = 80
- 89
C = 75
- 79
D = 65
- 74
F = less than 65
No grades will be dropped in the computation of the
final grade for this course
All
respiratory care courses must have a minimum grade of 75
in order to continue in the Respiratory Care Program
Cell Phones & Pagers
Students are required to
turn off cell phones and pagers during class time. If an emergency situation exists and the with
instructor approval, these devices may be placed in vibrate. However, leaving the classroom to answer an emergency
call MUST be an infrequent occurrence.
