The grade for this coarse will be a combination of practicum and final competencies required for graduation.
60% of final grade will be composed of competency submissions. Some competencies may still need to be completed in lab. The grades from these competencies will be based on first submission. Competencies not successfully completed with a grade of 75% or better will need to be redone until a grade of 75% or better is accomplished but only the 1st grade will stand in the gradebook.
40% of final grade will be composed of completion of required practicum hours and based off of evaluations as follows:
An evaluation with a score of 3.7-4.0 will be given a 100 (A)
An evaluation with a score of 3.6-3.3 will be given a 92 (A)
An evaluation with a score of 3.0-3.2 will be given an 83 (B)
An evaluation with a score of 2.0-2.9 will be given a 75 (C)
An evaluation with a score below 2.0 will be given a 70 (F)
Deductions in overall grade due to attendance, tardies and excessive exceptions will follow the clinical handbook policies.
Exceptions made on trajecsys will also be documented. These are anytime a correction is made to your clinical time tracking. After 3 mistakes per rotation, a point is deducted from your overall grade for that semester.
The following grade scale applies throughout this course:
A = 92 - 100
B = 83 - 91
C = 75 - 82
F = less than 75
Note: A grade of "D" is not possible in this course
** Tutoring is mandatory for any scan grade below a 75. It is your responsibility to schedule this with the appropriate instructor. You will receive a zero for that mandatory scan if the tutoring sessions are not completed within 2 weeks of receiving your grade.
When a final grade of “incomplete” is appropriate, a written contract to remove the “I” will be prepared by the course instructor and signed by the instructor and student. Normally, the grade of “I” must be converted to a passing grade within 90 days of the conclusion of the course.
Under a very rare circumstance, a time extension of an additional 90 days is possible. Each case will be handled on an individual basis and no one case shall set a precedent for another case. If the “I” is not removed in accordance with the contract, the final course grade will be recorded as an “F”.
Regular and punctual attendance is necessary for satisfactory achievement.
Attendance is mandatory and must be recorded daily with trajecsys. Absences must be documented with a clinical absence form found in the student handbook. Failure to report absences will result in grade deductions. Please see sonography student handbook for all details.
Tardy policy is also in the student handbook. Please refer for details.
Exceptions made on trajecsys will also be documented. These are anytime a correction is made to your clinical time tracking. After 3 mistakes per rotation, a point is deducted from your overall grade for that semester.
