Test questions will be based on unit objectives.  Unit objectives are to be used as study guides.   METHODS TO IMPROVE COURSE:  Student evaluations and respiratory faculty assessment of course content.   ATTENDANCE:  Class attendance is an integral part of this course.  Exam dates will be announced.  Only legitimate reasons for missing an announced exam will be accepted.  Failure to appear for scheduled exams will result in zero points awarded. Expect periodic unannounced quizzes.  There is no make-up for missed quizzes.  SEE: TEST/QUIZ MAKEUP   Please refer to your Student Manual for additional Policies and Student Resources.   ACADEMIC INTEGRITY: All students must practice academic honesty.  Academic misconduct is subject to an academic penalty by the course instructor and/or a disciplinary sanction by The University.  All students need to be familiar with the Student Conduct Code.  The Code is available for review online at http://life.umt.edu/vpsa/student_conduct.php .  DISABILITY ACCOMODATION: Eligible students with disabilities will receive appropriate accommodations in this course when requested in a timely way. Please speak with me after class or in my office. Please be prepared to provide a letter from your DSS Coordinator. For more information, visit the Disabilities Services website at http://www.umt.edu/dss/  or call 406-243-2243 (voice/text) Note:  Instructor reserves the right to modify syllabi and assignments as needed based on faculty, student, and/or environmental circumstances.  Cell Phones/Pagers: Due to an increasing number of students, who own and use cell phones and pagers, it has become necessary to institute a policy during class times.  As you are aware, these tools are distracting to an entire class.  However, some students require them for business, which allows them to further their education.  Please follow these guidelines: If the cell phone/pager in not business or emergency related, please turn it off. Use the vibrating option on your pager. Do not listen to the messages in class.  Please leave class quietly. CELL PHONES AND PAGERS MUST BE TURNED OFF DURING EXAM AND CLASS PRESENTATIONS.  SEATING: Many classrooms have chairs to accommodate persons with disabilities.  These chairs will display the international disability symbol and are assigned to a particular student.  Please refrain from using these chairs or making adjustments to them unless the chair is assigned to you.  If you think you may have the need for a specific chair, please contact Disability Student Services.  Thank you for your cooperation.  TEST/QUIZ MAKEUP:  Make-up exams and lab experiences will only be given under extreme circumstances and then only if:  a) permission is granted in advance by the course instructor, or b) a written excuse is provided by a medical doctor.  The burden of proof is on the student, so you must document and prove a justifiable absence.  Not following this procedure prior to the exam will automatically result in a zero points awarded for the exam.  Missed tests need to be made up within one week of the original date given.  You are responsible for contacting the Academic Support Center, 243-7826, to schedule the make-up.  Failure to do so will result in a ZERO grade for the missed test.   The faculty senate guidelines concerning the issuance of incomplete grades will be followed.  Attention to critical dates such as P/NP, drop, etc. is the responsibility of the student.  Students wishing to drop the class after the drop deadline will need a documented justifiable reason for doing so.  Dropping the class for fear of bad grade or to protect a GPA are not justifiable reasons.  The principles embodied in the Student Handbook Code will be adhered to in this course.  Quizzes: Failure to be present for quizzes will result in a zero being recorded and used in computing your average.  There will be no make-up opportunities for missed quizzes.    Homework: It is the expectation that homework will be turned in when due.  If you are not present, it is your responsibility to see that it is in my mailbox by 4:00 p.m. on the due date or a zero will be recorded and used in computing your average.    Student Decorum: All students are expected to conduct themselves in a professional manner at all times in both the classroom and alternative settings. Discussions of an academic nature are encouraged and can enhance student learning. However, social conversation is not appropriate during lectures as it creates a distraction to students and faculty. Respect and courtesy will be shown at all times to peers, faculty, and the general public. There are no exceptions to this policy at any time or under any circumstances.
