Grading Criteria

Assignment Percentages of Grade

 

Grading Scale:

• A =90% and up
• B = 82% - 89.9%
• C =74% - 81.9%
• F = 73.9% and below

 

Skills Performance  (100 points possible) = 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.

FISDAP 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 documentation. 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.

 

 

 

Remember: Fisdap requires a one-time fee of $80 to establish a student's account.

Additional Information

• AC online is the fastest/easiest way to communicate with a large group of people. Each student should become familiar with how to log-on and use the AC Online web portal found at http://actx.angellearning.com. Grades and important class information will be posted, along with campus announcements, events, and email

 

• Amarillo College, EMSP Program Web Site

 

• 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. 

NOTE: The Texas Education Code stipulates that students attending Texas institutions of higher education for the first time fall 2007 and later may not withdraw from more than six courses during their academic career, including courses from which transfer students have withdrawn at other Texas institutions of higher education.
