EVALUATION

The student must achieve a minimum grade of 74.50% to progress to the next level in the ADN program. (Refer to UTB/TSC ADN Student Guide regarding readmission).

Note: The student must achieve a minimum grade of 85% on the Medication Proficiency Exam in order to progress to the clinical course: RNSG 1260: Foundations of Professional Nursing. This exam may be retaken a maximum of two times to achieve an 85% (for a total of 3 takes); however, the grade achieved on the first attempt will be the grade recorded and will be calculated as 30% of the course grade. Students who do not pass the medication proficiency exam after a total of 3 tries will receive a grade of "O" for this exam.

MAKE-UP EXAMINATIONS

Make-up examinations will be given solely at the discretion of the instructor. If an examination is missed because of illness or emergency, documentation must be produced, e.g. doctor's note, dated police report, dated towing receipt. If the instructor does not grant a make-up for a missed exam, the percentage from that exam will be added to the percentage for the final exam. The student must earn an overall grade of 74.50% or greater in order to pass this course. It is the student's reponsibility to ensure that all exam questions have been answered prior to logging off the course website and/or leaving the classroom, as applicable.

EXAM REVIEW

Feedback is given by Black Board immediately after quiz/exam answers are submitted and graded. The student is responsible for viewing feedback on wrong answers and taking appropriate steps to remediate.

Students who need further explanation must contact the instructor by e-mail within 5 working days of taking the quiz/exam.
