Each quiz will take approximately 30 minutes to complete. They will be given at the end of each syllabus unit. An extra quiz will be given for long units. Quizzes will be given only during the regularly scheduled time. If a student is absent on the day a quiz is given, that quiz grade will be a zero, and will be the one dropped.
Attendance is mandatory.
Any student who misses more than two lectures, with unexcused absences, will have their grade dropped by 5 percentage points for each excessive absence. Students will be excused for illness, or other serious reasons if the nursing office is notified before class begins. If a student is absent for the mid-term or final, a doctor's verification will be required in order to reschedule that exam. If the exam is missed for a reason other than illness, the decision to reschedule the exam is at the discretion of the instructor. All other general requirements will conform with those stated in the Merritt College Nursing Handbook.
