Welcome to Medical Terminology Online! As course instructor, I will be available to guide and support you throughout the semester as you progress through the learning modules. I am available to answer any questions you might have along the way; however, as this is an exercise in independent learning, you will need to keep yourself organized and on schedule so things don’t end up sneaking up on you at the end of the semester. Questions are best addressed via e-mail, phone, or in person on campus during posted office hours. Good luck!

There is no on campus component.Students become “independent learners” because there are noclasses, lectures, labs, discussions, or meeting times.Students study the online learning modulesand/or the textbook and then take the quizzes designated as “Mastery Level Assignments,”which consists of an adaptive quizzing system.A suggested schedule is provided for these exams to help you avoid procrastination and last minute cramming.

COURSE GOALS
The goals of this course for each student are 1) to have a good grasp of the meaning and spelling of medical terms commonly used in typical health care settings and 2) to develop and practice the skill of time management.
One of the keys to effective communications in the health care field is the proper use of terminology to adequately and accurately describe a clinical situation.
SPELLING: Students are responsible for knowing the correct spelling of medical terms.
FORMS: Students are responsible for knowing the singular and plural forms of terms.
Learning to organize your time is a typical responsibility that we all face in our day-to-day lives. We all need to have a system of keeping track of important deadlines. If we don’t meet deadlines, there are often consequences, such as late-payment fees and poor job performance evaluations.

ACADEMIC INTEGRITY
Offenses against the Code of Academic Integrity are deemed serious and insult the integrity of the entire academic community. Any suspected violations of the code are taken very seriously and will be forwarded to the Center for Student Ethics & Standards for further investigation.
Since students can take the online exams from any place with an internet connection in a non-proctored environment, this requires each student to have “academic integrity”. “Integrity” begins with honest behavior even though no one is monitoring you or looking over your shoulder. We all are called to have “integrity” in whatever we do in life, but especially if we work in a health care profession, education, business, etc. It is assumed by the instructor that:
*the online exams are taken “closed-book” and “closed-notes”;
*there is NO communication among students at any time regarding the content of the online exams.
*The exam must not be printed out and shared with other students in the course.
Any violations will be handled through the University’s Academic Honesty system. Please review the UVM Code of Academic Integrity. To see the full policy and procedures, visit: http://www.uvm.edu/cses/?Page=ah.html&SM=ahmenu.html
LEARNING DISABILITIES:
UVM’s ACCESS Program: In keeping with University policy, any student with a disability who needs academic/classroom accommodations should contact ACCESS. ACCESS coordinates reasonable accommodations for students with documented disabilities. They are located at A170 Living/Learning Center, and can be reached by phone 802-656-7753, or by e-mail access@uvm.edu. Visit their website http://www.uvm.edu/access.
COURSE POLICIES
For this course to proceed in an organized manner and to ensure that students maximize their learning experiences, the policies below have been put into effect. All students must follow the policies; Please do not request an exception to the policies.
1. Module Quizzes: The quizzes are based on material in the textbook AND online modules.
3. FINISHING THE COURSE: It is possible for students to finish the course at any time during the session early by taking the exams prior to the suggested deadlines.
4. FINAL GRADES: There has never been a “curve” applied to the grades in this course because the course is set up to be a fair and uniform way to evaluate fundamental knowledge, so students always know where they stand in the course. In addition, there is no “extra credit” available.
*********Note :It is the student’s responsibility to ensure that all Prep-U module assignments are recorded and saved correctly.
5. DEADLINES: Please do NOT request an extension of the deadline. Plan ahead! All module assignments must be completed by 11:59 Friday, December 6th,2019.
6. COMMUNICATIONS: There are no classes, so how do we communicate?
· Blackboard announcements and UVM e-mails will be our main means of communication.
· The instructor will use the “Announcements” function to send reminders, clarifications, etc. to everyone in class.
· Students are responsible for frequently checking your UVM email account (no other email account can be used) and Blackboard announcements.
7. ACADEMIC WARNINGS: Mid-Term warnings will be sent to any student with an average grade <70 on the first 10 exams or if you have not completed enough exams by that point.
COMPUTER / INTERNET REQUIREMENTS: You should have access to a fast, reliable internet connection or the UVM campus network. Dialup connections are too slow for the extensive graphics usage, and they occasionally disconnect for no apparent reason. If you are in the middle of an online exam and you lose your internet connection, you will not be allowed to log back in to the exam, and you will have to send an email tomichael.abajian@med.uvm.edu andrequest that the exam be reset. You will have to start the exam from the beginning.
