The important of attendance is even amplified in an online program. Any student who is absent 25% or more of the designated instructional time may receive a grade of “F” for the course. Your online course room attendance is required and it is highly suggested that you maintain a minimum online course presence of 5 days a week, with no more than 2 consecutive days without being present in the course room environment. If you encounter an unexpected circumstance that results in an extended absence, you are required to communicate with your instructor. Emergency situations will be considered on a student-by-student basis. Students may have to come up with an alternative assignment if there will be an absence on the discussion board. Students are responsible for participating in this course through the following academic activities:

Completing assigned readings from both texts and supplemental articles, videos, PPT and any other type of course material responding to module questions by posting to the discussion board

Participating in the threaded discussions with classmates and instructor Submitting assignment for each learning module on the due date

POSTING AND RESPONDING TO DISCUSSION QUESTIONS Discussions require a response to specific questions that results in collaborative conversations and construction of knowledge that builds and expands learning within the course. You must support your discussion postings and responses with references, unless you are asked to provide personal opinion or personal reflection for a specific question. Unless noted otherwise, your initial discussion postings should be approximately 250 words in length, substantive and scholarly in nature. You are asked to respond to each Discussion posting, each week, on alternate days, within each module and provide a minimum of two responses to colleagues in the following ways:

Suggest why you might see things differently. Ask a probing or clarifying question. Share an insight from having read the colleague's posting. Offer and support an opinion. Validate an idea with your own experience. Make a suggestion. Expand on the colleague's posting. Ask for evidence that supports the posting.

Always be respectful and collegial.

Each module begins on Monday of each week and ends on the following Sunday. Follow the syllabus regarding when initial post and assignments are due.

TECHNOLOGY EXPECTATIONS

A. Students will complete assignments using the Internet and library-technology based database, such as the college’s research database when conducting literature searches and course assignments and discussions.

B. Students will interact with their instructor and other classmates through the Blackboard

virtual classroom, including: retrieving their syllabus, participating in structured discussions, submitting assignments, and communicating with their professor. Please review Blackboard Software Recommendations for system/browser compatibility.

WORK RETURN POLICY Faculty will return students’ work in approximately 4 days from the due date. CHEATING ANY CHEATING WILL RESULT IN A GRADE OF “F” FOR THE COURSE, CHEATING INCLUDES, BUT IS NOT LIMITED TO COPYING HOMEWORK, LAB ASSIGNMENTS, QUIZZES, EXAMS, PAPERS, AND PLAGIARISM. PLAGIARISM IS DEFINED AS: TO USE AND PASS OFF (SOMEONE ELSE’S IDEAS, INVENTIONS, WRITINGS, ETC.) AS ONE’S OWN. Cheating includes intentionally using or attempting to use another student’s work. It also includes intentionally or knowingly helping another student violate any COD academic policy. Any form of cheating will result in an “F” for the course. INCOMPLETES No incompletes will be given unless medical emergency or prior approval. You must finish each semester, with a C or higher before being able to move to the next; therefore, no incompletes will be issued. NOTE: This is a very intense course. There is a lot of material that needs to be covered in a short amount of time. I cannot emphasize enough to you the importance of attendance and participation in the online learning environment. For every day you miss you actually have missed approximately a weeks worth of work. Keeping up with the reading is essential. It is your responsibility to do the assigned reading prior to class. This will make discussions and work less confusing for you. Textbook material, handouts, films/videos, overheads, class discussion and syllabus are fair game for quizzes and exams. I am available by phone, 630-399-3147. If you need help please do not hesitate to ask for it, I am flexible and am willing to help you learn this material. Only you can do the actual learning.

The following cell phone number should be called when a student is going to miss or be late to clinicals and/or class, 630-399-3147. Any time the student knows ahead of time that they are going to miss school they should make arrangements ahead of time. Student's Code of Conduct Excerpted from Administrative #5715 see the following link: http://www.cod.edu/catalog/current/student_services/student_rights_responsibilities.aspx

RULES IN REGARDS TO MY COD/BLACKBOARD: My COD/Blackboard is a way for you and the faculty to communicate to one another and that is its actual purpose. It is intended as a way for us to communicate only. The faculty will also not be held responsible for items presented on my COD/Blackboard. For instance, if you post something on my COD/Blackboard at 10:00 p.m., the program will not be held responsible for receiving that email and accepting whatever it is that you are trying to communicate with the faculty. If you have an emergency or something urgent that comes up you need to notify the faculty by calling the following cell phone number 630-399-3147 and leave a message. Faculty do their best to communicate to you via my COD/Blackboard and respond to items posted there. But, the student must understand that my COD/Blackboard was not intended for you to consider faculty as being available 24 hours a day.

Please make sure that you read the rules of My COD/Blackboard and abide by them. You are responsible to know what they say.

College of DuPage Health Science Programs

POLICY FOR PROFESSIONAL CONDUCT IN CLASSROOMS, AND AT LABORATORY/CLINICAL SITES

Revised Fall 2013 Socialization of students to appropriate professional conduct is a significant component of the Health Science Programs of College of DuPage (the “Programs”). Students in the Programs are expected and required to be reliable and competent, exercise sound judgment, act with a high degree of personal integrity, represent themselves and College of DuPage (the “College”) in a respectful manner, and observe all the rules and regulations of the clinical sites to which they are assigned. Students also have a responsibility to protect the welfare and safety of the patients/clients for whom services are being provided. Students placed at clinical sites must realize the privilege of this experience, its responsibilities, and the reflection on the College of DuPage and its numerous health programs. Any violation will be handled immediately so as to not affect C.O.D.’s use of the clinical site for future students. In accordance with these expectations, when participating in laboratory exercises and /or assigned to clinical sites, students in the Programs must adhere to the following Policy for Professional Conduct. This Policy is in addition to the Student Code of Conduct outlined in College catalogs and/or policy (Board Policy 20-35). The policy of Professional Conduct includes, but is not limited to,

1. Providing competent and reliable services to patients/clients using sound judgment and discretion. Students are expected to: a. be prepared for the learning environment and actively participate in

appropriate ways to ensure learning of key components b. be on time c. refrain from excessive absenteeism d. remain in assigned work areas, leaving only with permission e. not leave patients unattended and/or release patients without prior

approval from a qualified staff member (if applicable). 2. Demonstrating respect and courtesy to patients/clients and their families 3. Demonstrating respect and courtesy to peers/classmates, instructors, supervisors

and all other members of the health care provider team in classrooms and at the site

4. Cooperating with faculty, staff and peers without insubordination 5. Providing care and/or services on a non-discriminatory basis 6. Performing only procedures and/or services authorized by supervisor(s) in

accordance with accepted professional standards. 7. Observing the rules and regulations of classrooms, and all clinical facilities

including (but not limited to): a. Proper use of equipment and other property b. Not removing property of clinical facilities c. Not distributing, possessing, and/or being under influence of illegal drugs

or controlled substances,

Page 14: ANES 1504 Syllabus

14

d. Not possessing and/or being under the influence of alcohol e. Complying with all current health requirements, drug testing and criminal

background checking requirements f. Not possessing or using any type of weapon g. Comply with cell phone or other electronic device (i pod, ipad, electronic

tablets, etc.) usage consistent with the policies of the classroom/clinical site or lab.

8. Maintaining the confidentiality of patient/client information in accordance with recognized professional and institutional rules; without unauthorized release and/or misuse of patient/client information or institutional data

9. Maintaining proper dress, appearance, hygiene and decorum in accordance with the standards set by the program, clinical site, and professions

10. Complying with the ethical and professional standards set by the profession and the Programs including (but not limited to): a. Never taking prescription blanks or writing prescriptions b. Never falsifying documents regarding student performance or the care of

patients The penalty for violating the Policy for Professional Conduct will be discipline up to and including suspension or dismissal from the Programs. Due to the sequential design of the curriculum in most Health Science programs, any period of suspension or dismissal may result in a delay in program completion. If the disciplinary action is suspension or dismissal from one of the Programs a form will be completed by the program coordinator and submitted to the appropriate Associate Dean. The student may appeal that disciplinary action to the Health Sciences Professional Conduct Review Board within 10 business days of the discipline imposed. This appeal must be in writing and submitted to the appropriate Associate Dean in the program area (HSC 1220). The student will not be permitted to participate in the clinical/lab portion of the Programs during the appeal process. However, the student may continue with on campus courses until a final decision is rendered from the appeal process. The appeal will result in a hearing before the Health Science Professional Conduct Review Board, comprised of faculty from other COD health science programs within 5 business days of the date the appeal is filed with the Associate Dean. Both the student and faculty involved in the disciplinary action may make an oral presentation to the Board in addition to written comments. There is no further appeal; the decision of the Board is final. If the decision to dismiss or suspend a student from a Program is upheld, no refund of tuition or fees or equipment or books will be provided. When a student is dismissed from a health program for professional misconduct, they may never again apply to the same or any other health programs at College of DuPage. All health programs require completion of current health requirements and drug testing as a condition of program participation. Drug testing (performed at the student’s expense) will precede clinical experience in all cases, and will be required prior to admission in some programs. Positive results on a drug screen or misrepresentation regarding drug use will lead to immediate dismissal from, or non-admittance to the particular program(s). When a student is

Page 15: ANES 1504 Syllabus

15

dismissed from a program for a positive drug screen, he/she may reapply to the same program or to any other College of DuPage health programs after one year has elapsed. Criminal background checks are performed at the student’s expense, and are required for many programs prior to admission. Positive results will be handled by individual program faculty, as per program policies.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

I acknowledge receipt of the Health Sciences Programs Policy for Professional Conduct. I have read and understand the statement and agree to abide by the standards and rules set forth therein. I understand that failure to abide by the Policy for Professional Conduct may result in my suspension or dismissal from the Programs. I understand that I will not receive a refund of tuition or fees or for books, supplies or equipment purchased should I be dismissed from the Programs for violating this policy.
