UNIVERSITY POLICIES: University policies regarding students rights and responsibilities, absence for religious observance, absence for university-supported trips, services to students with disabilities, grade replacement, state mandated course drop policy, social security and privacy, and emergency evacuation may be found at http://www.uttyler.edu/academicaffairs/files/syllabuspolicy.pdf and University Student Handbook: http://www2.uttyler.edu/mopp/ EXAMINATIONS/ASSIGNMENTS AND GRADING POLICY: Completion of NURS 4212 is based on satisfactory attainment of all course criteria. Any student failing to meet the course objectives and expectations must repeat the course and may not progress to the next level. 1. Course Grade Calculation: Students will have course grades calculated based on the weighted calculation of exams and other required course work. The weighted calculation must be 75% or above to pass the course. 2. Assignments: See Blackboard for specific information, due dates and requirement for assignments. Assignments must be submitted on time. The submission window closes after the due date is past. There are four types of assignments: (a) surveys, (b) journal entries, (c) individual discussion board posts, and (d) a group presentation assignment. All assignments for each Module are due at on the date indicated. If unavoidable situations occur, e.g. work or family emergencies or illness that prevents timely submission of assignments, contact your instructor BEFORE the assignment is due. Extensions to assignment deadlines can be negotiated but this needs to be done in advance. Retrospective extensions will not be awarded. For assignments that are granted an approved extension the instructor, 5 points will be deducted for each day on a 100 point assignment and 0.5 points will be deducted each day for a ten point assignment. Student assignments will not be regraded. Instructors will not pre-grade or give opinions on assignments before they are due. Grading rubrics for all assignments are linked in each assignment. Rubrics vary assignment, so be sure to review the rubric for each assignment to ensure your submission meets expectations. The last day to withdraw from a course without penalty is October 31, 2016. Surveys In some Modules, you will be asked to complete a survey before completing other learning activities. These surveys are meant to raise awareness about certain aspects of aging issues. You will receive credit for completing the survey in the grade book and it is part of your engagement grade. Answers to survey questions are anonymous. Journal Entries There are 6 journal entry assignments. The first entry is in response to the video, Age of Champions, in Module One. The last is your Final Reflections in Module Eight summarizing your reflections about what you learned in the course. The Consultant chat requires 4 journal entries. Note: When posting a journal entry, type your comments directly into the journal window. Do not type your comments into a document and then upload it. Include your critical reflections as outlined in the grading rubric to receive all available points. Individual Discussion Board The purpose of the discussion board (DB) in an online course is to take the place of conversations that would occur in a face-to-face class. It is your opportunity to demonstrate your mastery of the

assigned readings and your ability to supplement those readings with expanded exposure to related information. To that end, I will expect you to share ideas you have gained from the literature noting the source and interpreting into your own words (read: do NOT plagiarize). I am eager to read your thoughtful insights into the questions and statements. There will be different types of discussion board assignments including individual and reflective activities. The type of assignment is clearly described in the Module. Group Presentation Assignment-Module 6 In the group presentation assignment in Module 6, ONE document per group is expected be posted to the appropriate DB forum. We urge you to connect with your small group colleagues early on in the course and plan on how you will communicate about the assignment (use Blackboard, WIKI, or via email). Place all students names that contributed to the completion of the assignment at the top of the page. All students whose names are listed will receive the same grade. Group work can be fun and often produces better outcomes that individual efforts. Why? Because there are multiple brains working on the same problem. You also have the opportunity to explore more issues and problems in the context of group work. Yes, it is difficult to get everyone on the same page. We know what? That will ALWAYS be the case whether you work in the hospital, community, a doctor s office or clinic, or teach. It is called process or teamwork and is a necessary life skill. We hope that you will embrace this opportunity and sincerely look forward to the outcomes produced! You are expected to do this assignment with other members of your class and not individually. Individual assignments submitted will not be graded. If for some unknown reason you are unable to connect with your group, notify your instructor before the deadline for advice. Whether the Discussion Board assignment is individual or group, there are a few things that must be addressed: Each student is responsible for participating in the asynchronous discussions. This participation will include posting answers to questions posed the instructor and / or replying to other participants' postings APA format is expected including grammar, spelling, and punctuation, accurate presentation of reference citations in text and with full references at the bottom of the post. And remember, plagiarism is not tolerated. Postings must be timely. Deadlines are listed in the Course Schedule. Please note that all discussion postings must be completed Central Standard Time on the due date. Postings should be done in advance of the deadline in order to allow other participants the opportunity to read and respond to a colleague. Participants should plan on entering the DB forum at least two times in order to read and comment on others postings. Quality of answers is as important as quantity. A participant's comments should add to the discussion. Comments should identify who they are responding to, a summary of what the colleague wrote, a clearly stated opinion in complete sentences and it must be supported with references cited appropriately. The instructor and/or participants may use asynchronous chats as the need arises. All required points outlined in the assignment should be in the body of the posted comments. If you disagree with a colleague or the instructor, that is OK. PLEASE show respect when you share a different opinion or idea. Note: When posting assignments to this course, please type in your comments directly into the discussion board or journal entry provided. Do not type your comments into a document and then attach it to the discussion board or journal entry-this method is difficult for some students and instructors to access. You may type your comments into a Word document, then copy and paste it into the Blackboard. You must use the clipboard icon on the top of the discussion board frame into which you are typing in order to paste in Blackboard.

Consultant Chat Project Please view the video instructions for this project in the Start Here section. You will interview an older adult, your Consultant, using assigned topics pertinent to the course content. For these Consultant interviews, you will create journal entries summarizing your conversations and sharing your critical thoughts about what you learned. Critical reflections of your consultant chat are a required component of the journal entries and are included in the grading rubric. 3.
