Dr. Pallavi Patel College of Health Care Sciences 2019–2020 103 Audio and Videotaping In some programs of study, students are audiotaped and/or videotaped in certain academic classes and clinical labs for teaching, learning, and/or grading purposes. Program offices will obtain authorization and releases from the student prior to any taping. Students wishing to videotape or audiotape lectures must first obtain written permission from the individual course instructor. However, absolutely no audio or videotaping is authorized during exam reviews and exams. Examinations and Grading Policy on Returning Examinations In order that they may be a learning experience, as well as a means of evaluation, all examinations will be returned or made available to the students for review in a timely manner after the examination. Grading System At the end of each course, the course director or course professor enters the grade in WebSTAR and submits a grade for each student to the office of the department chair or program director. Each program determines the method of grading using pass ( P )/fail ( F ), numeric, or alpha (letter) grading scales. Grades will be issued for clinical rotations as well as didactic courses. Transcript Notations In all Dr. Pallavi Patel College of Health Care Sciences programs, failing grades will be included in calculating the GPA for the term in which the grade was received and in the cumulative GPA. When a student passes a course by remediation examination, the minimum passing grade for that degree program will be recorded as the final grade followed by the notation E (e.g., C ( E )) next to the grade on the transcript.
