[A04, A05] Course Assessments and Grading: Grades will be given on an A-F basis: A: 90 – 100 B: 80 – 89 C: 70 – 79 F: < 70 Through out the course QUIZZES will be administered to assess student progression in the course. A Webbased quiz will be conducted after each class for the topics covered in that lecture. Students have one time access to the quiz at the end of each lecture. Quiz represents 20% of the course grade. Students who participate in all of the quizzes will be eligible for 3 additional points in their final grade irrespective of the grade. In addition, there will be THREE major announced examinations for this course. Questions will be evenly distributed between lectures. Examinations will be administered during the regular allotted examination block or class time for the P1 spring calendar. Examinations will be multiple choice or short answers. A final grade of 70% is required to pass this course. Overview of Examination Schedule: There will be THREE major announced examinations. The dates of the exams are: PHAR 1221 2 Name Date Time Examination 1 Monday, January 23, 2012 3:30 PM to 5:00 PM Examination 2 Monday, February 13, 2012 3:30 PM to 5:00 PM Examination 3 Monday, February 27, 2012 3:30 PM to 5:00 PM Second Chance Policy: The Second Chance Policy applies to all courses except case studies and clerkships. A doctor of pharmacy student, if eligible, may take a single comprehensive examination to demonstrate competency in that course providing that: • The student has passed 50% or more of the major assessments in that course • The student has earned a final grade of 66-69% in the course, and • The student has not exceeded the number of second chance attempts as outlined below. The student will receive a course grade of 70% if s/he achieves 70% or greater on the comprehensive assessment. Failing to do so, the student will receive the original course grade. A student may invoke the Second Chance Policy in a maximum of two courses per semester, and no more than four times total in his/her career at the School. No student may invoke the second chance exam for the same course twice. The second chance assessment shall occur in a timely fashion, the timing at the discretion of the course team. Missed Examination Policy: Candidates who miss an examination must contact the Team Leader in advance of the planned evaluation (or as soon as possible thereafter) to provide justification and obtain permission. Make-up evaluations and the format will only be provided at the discretion of the Team Leader after consultation with the Team Member.
