Grading Criteria

Assignment Percentages of Grade

\ \

 

\ \

Grading Scale:

\ \

\
• A = 89.5% and up
\
• B = 79.5% - 89.4%
\
• C = 69.5% - 79.4%
\
• F = 69.4% and below
\

\ \

 

\ \

Skills Performance  = 50 % of final grade

\ \

Performance is based on the preceptor's evaluation. Grade will be determined by this formula:

\ \

Total points received divided by total points possible.

\ \

Hardcopy Documentation (100 points possible) =  50% of final grade

\ \

 

\ \

Fisdap Documentation Maintenance:

\ \

 Each student is required to sign-up for FISDAP clincial schedules PRIOR to the announced deadline.

\ \

If a student does not do so, the student will be advised to withdraw from the course or receive a grade

\ \

of "F" for the course.

\ \

Clinical Shift documentation must be inputed within 24 hours after the end of the shift.

\ \

Incomplete clinical documentation will result in a 4 point deduction in the documentation grade.

\ \

FISDAP will automatically email the student, the instructor and the clincial coordinator of the late documnetation.

\ \

If late documentation is not completed within 24 hours of the notification, FISDAP will email the student,

\ \

the director and the clinical coordinator of the continued late docaumentation. This process will be repeated

\ \

until the documentation is received

\ \

A 2-point deduction from your FINAL average will be taken for each "late" Fisdap email received.

\ \

 

\ \

• \ Also, students are not automatically dropped from their class roster as a result of nonattendance. It is therefore the responsibility of the student to officially drop or withdraw from a course through the registrar's office. Failure to officially withdraw may result in the student receiving a grade of "F" in the course.
