Phase 1 and 2 Course Policies and Procedures Observance of Religious Holidays: Students should meet with the module director at the beginning of the module to make him/her aware of any religious obligations that would require the student to miss required module activities. Arrangements will be made on a case-by-case basis. Online course evaluations: The evaluation system has been designed so that no identifying information can be connected to a specific evaluation form. In order to ensure that all students have participated in the evaluation process, students must login to the online system, this login is not linked to the evaluation form itself. This process exists to keep a record of students who have completed evaluations. Students are required to complete the evaluation form in its entirety. Each student has been randomly assigned a group of module faculty to evaluate. You are expected to evaluate all faculty in your assigned group. Students will be sent reminder emails to let them know which faculty they are responsible for evaluating. Emails will be sent a few days prior to the lectures you are required to evaluate. Module director and module evaluations will be made available for 2 days prior to the final exam and 3 days following each module’s final exam. Students can log into the evaluation system using a login name (first initial and last name with the last four digits of your social security number) and a password (that will be sent to you via email) via this website: https://www.one45.com/webeval/georgia/public/login.php Proofing note-taker notes: Proofing student note-taker notes will be at the faculty member’s discretion. Examinations: All examinations will be administered on the dates and at the times documented in the Phase 1/2 examination schedule. Students will not be permitted to take examinations early. If an emergency results in a student not being able to take a scheduled examination, the student must provide the module director with written documentation as to the reason why they were not able to take the examination as scheduled. The module director will make the decision on when the student takes the missed examination. Documented personal illness and family emergencies are examples of legitimate reasons for not being able to take a scheduled examination. Weddings, visits to family and friends, pre-purchased airline tickets, etc. are not acceptable reasons to reschedule an examination. If a student arrives late for an examination, they will not receive additional time to complete the test. All students must turn in their examinations when time is called. If a student does not turn in their examination when time is called, the examination will not be scored and the student will receive a zero. The NBME Subject examinations will be administered only on the dates and at the times documented in the Phase 1/2 examination schedule. If a student, regardless of the reason, does not take the examination at that time, s/he will have to take the examination after spring semester ends. The Curriculum Office will determine the date for the makeup examination. Adjusting examinations: All students will be given credit for those questions that are adjusted. If the Module Director determines there is more than one correct answer for a particular question, credit will be given for all correct answers. Test Administration Guidelines: Include in the module syllabus and announced to the class before the exam the following information.
Test Administration Instructions
Questions during exams: No specific questions regarding a test question will be answered during any exam. Typographical errors, however, will be acknowledged and posted during the exam. Posting Answer Keys: If an answer key is posted on the day of the exam, the key will not be posted before 12:00 noon. The module director decides on the day the key is to be posted. Student review of exams: Students will be permitted to review secure exams under supervision to review questions missed during a defined period of time following each exam at the date and time determined by the module director. Students are not permitted to bring paper, pens/pencils, cell phones or other recording devices to the exam review and may not record questions, answers or notes. Recording questions, answers or notes is an honor code violation. Standard Grading Policy (Except for courses with weighted exams) Final grade = total number of points obtained/total number of possible points Final grades are based on the following scale.
Final grades are not rounded up. Remediation: Students must achieve a 70% to pass a module in addition to 70% for each component of a module. If a student is passing a module but not achieving a 70% for any component of a module, s/he will receive a NR (not reported) for the module. The module director or co-directors will make recommendations to the Promotion Subcommittee regarding remediation of the modular component. The course for remediation will have an R (remediation) designation. The student will receive their original grade for the course after remediation is complete. Grade Appeal: Students may challenge their final grade in a course or clerkship if they think their evaluation is unjust by: Step 1: Discuss a Concern Step 2: Appeal a Grade The student may appeal the decision of the module or clerkship director to the department chair. If several departments comprise the module, the student may appeal the decision to the associate dean for curriculum. If a student does not agree with the decision of the department chair or associate dean for curriculum, the student may appeal the decision to the dean. Approved 8/06/08 by Phase 1/2 Committee |
