Assignment Percentages of Grade
Fisdap Maintenance:
A 1-point deduction from your FINAL average will be taken for each "late" Fisdap email I receive regardless of the class in which it occurred.
Furthermore, each student is required to sign-up for FISDAP lab schedules PRIOR to the announce deadline. If a student does not do so, the student may be advised to withdraw from the course or receive a grade of "F" for the course.
Remember: Fisdap requires a one-time fee of $80 to establish a student's account.
Grading Scale:
A student who will not complete a Module Exam on the scheduled day must contact the instructor before the scheduled exam. If the absence is excused, the test must be taken ON or BEFORE the next class session. A grade of ZERO for that exam will be averaged in if this policy is not followed.
Exit-Final Summative Exam
Students must successfully complete an Exit-Final, summative examination. Results of this examination are independent and irrespective of prior, individual course performances…an all-or-nothing type situation. Students must therefore understand, though your transcript may reflect a perfect 4.0 GPA, failure of the Exit-Final process constitutes failure of the entire EMSP program. As such, students WILL NOT advance to the National Registry as potential testing candidates (CoAEMSP standard IV.A.1). More details are provided in the EMSP Advanced Student Handbook provided in class. See your instructor immediately for questions and/or clarifications.
Attendance is CRITICAL to your success in this class. Each class session contributes towards your course grade; which, due to the nature of this course, is HEAVILY weighted towards attendance and participation.
