Emphasis is placed on neonatal and pediatric assessment, prenatal development, pathophysiology, and on the special therapeutic needs of neonates and children. Topics covered include emergency and traumatic injury, acute and chronic disease conditions; also, resuscitation and mechanical ventilation of neonatal and pediatric patients are studied.  The theory behind NRP is presented without certification; and a PEARS certification course will be offered.  Upon completion, students will demonstrate competence in these concepts through written evaluations.

Missing a class substantially affects your understanding of the subject and your ability to be successful in the course.  Those missing class for any reason are encouraged to meet with a classmate to review the material and copy notes.    Quizzes & Worksheets/Case Studies:  Quizzes may be given at the beginning or end of any class period.  There is no make-up for missed quizzes. Case Studies, if assigned, will be due prior to the Unit IV exam.  Worksheets pertaining to various readings are available online.  If a student experiences technical issues with Moodle, he or she should consult the instructor or contact UM’s Moodle Help Desk at 243-4999.  If a student cannot submit online documents from his home computer, he should plan to use the Missoula College library computers.  Semester Grades will be determined by: Seven Unit Exams of 100 points each approx. 60%  Assignments/Worksheets and Pop Quizzes  approx. 30%        **Missed Pop Quizzes cannot be made up Attendance and participation   approx. 10%  Exams: Four unit exams constitute about 60% of the final grade.  There is no cumulative final exam.   GRADING SCALE: A   = 4.0   95-100%  C   = 2.00 74-76.9%         A-  = 3.67   90-94.9%  C-  = 1.67 70-73.9%      B+ = 3.33   87-89.9%  D+ = 1.33 67-69.9%     B   =       3.00   84-86.9%  D   = 1.00 64-66.9%     B-  = 2.67   80-83.9%  D-  = .067 60-63.9%     C+ = 2.33   77-79.9%  F    = 0.00 <60%  Students in the Respiratory Care Program must have a “B-” (80% or greater) final grade in order to progress within the program or to matriculate.    COURSE POLICIES:  Professional Behavior:   I expect each student to show professional academic behavior during class time:  be on time, be prepared; be awake and attentive; participate in demonstrations and discussions. Above all, I expect each student to be respectful to classmates and to me as the instructor.  If you behave in an unprofessional manner during class, I will ask you to meet with me individually.  Also, during this course, we discuss what Professionalism means in the medical field.  This class, and its co-requisites are good opportunities for students to practice all aspects of academic and medical professionalism.    Academic Honesty & Integrity:  As students of higher education, there is an expectation of high academic integrity.  Students are expected to perform to the utmost of their ability in an honest and ethical manner.  Academic misconduct is subject to an academic penalty by the instructor and/or a disciplinary sanction by The University of Montana. Please refer to the Student Conduct Code in the Respiratory Care Program Student Handbook, along with the University’s Student Conduct Code at http://life.umt.edu/vpsa/student_conduct.php.    Recording of Classes:  Video or audio recording of lectures is not allowed without prior consent of the instructor.  Photographing of any part of the course is not allowed either.  Any recorded lectures, even if made with instructor’s consent, are not allowed to be re-broadcast in any way.  Any material discussed in face-to-face classes or in on-line discussion groups is considered confidential.  If a student breaks this policy, it is considered academic misconduct.  Disability Accommodation: Eligible students with disabilities will receive appropriate accommodations in this course if requested in a timely manner.  I require documentation of any disabling condition prior to providing substantive accommodations (those that involve changes in deadlines, activities, or products) in this course.  Students are responsible to arrange for such accommodations with Disability Services for Students (DSS).  Please refer to the Disability Services website at http://life.umt.edu/dss. Please note that the instructor reserves the right to modify syllabi and assignments as needed based on faculty, student, and/or environmental circumstances.   3  Cell Phones & Electronic Devices:  Electronic devices (such as cell phones, iPods, mp3s, pagers, etc.) must be turned off and put away before class.  The use of and the noises from such devices are disruptive to the learning environment.  However, if your cell phone or pager must be on due to a business or an emergency issue, please inform the instructor prior to class and set it to vibrate.  If you must leave class, please do so quietly.  If a student is seen breaking the above rules with an electronic device, the device will be taken away until the end of class.  During exams, all electronic devices must be off and put away.  Make-up of Quizzes, Worksheets and Tests:  There is no make-up for missed quizzes.  If the student is planning an absence (e.g. a clinical rotation day) when a worksheet is due, the student should plan to submit the assignment online on or before the due date. Late worksheets earn a maximum of half-credit.  Make-up exams will be allowed only under extreme circumstances that must be approved by the instructor.  Make-up exams must be completed online within one week of the original test date.  Failure to do so will result in a zero grade for that test.  Internet Access:  The student should have internet access and is expected to check emails daily.  Course material is posted on Moodle (http://umonline.umt.edu). You must have access to this site to complete the requirements of this course.  Computers are available in the library if needed.  Students are expected to log-on daily to check for email updates, view Moodle assignments, and check supplementary material for the course.
