Student Retesting

Date: 09/29/17

Students who do not successfully complete an examination (written or psychomotor) and who have received remediation shall be eligible for retesting. Under no circumstances should a student who does not receive remediation be permitted to retest a written or psychomotor examination. When the psychomotor evaluation is scenario-based, the retesting of that skill shall be done with an alternate scenario that is different than the scenario the student originally tested on. Under no circumstances shall a student be tested on the same scenario twice. Psychomotor examinations shall be administered by a different EMT Instructor than the one that tested the student at the first attempt. Under no circumstances shall an EMT Instructor evaluate the same student on the same skill twice. When written evaluation is retested, a RETEST version that is different than the original exam shall be administered. Under no circumstances shall a student be tested utilizing the same written exam twice. When students display circumstances that negatively affect academic performance, violate course rules, or create a negative learning environment for other students the EMT Lead Instructor should conduct student counseling. Student Counselling shall involve notification of the student of the problematic circumstance and making recommendations to remedy the circumstance. Circumstances that might warrant counseling include but are not limited to: - Excessive absenteeism - Excessive tardiness - Academic underperformance (written or psychomotor) - Unacceptable affect with patients, peers, or staff - Chronic lack of participation - Sleeping in class - Problematic use of mobile device during class hours Example: Student Smith has been noted to be sleeping in class for a third time. The first occurrence the EMT Lead instructor discreetly tapped him on the shoulder as he walked by. On the second occurrence the EMT Lead instructor called for a break and spoke to him privately about his nodding off. On his third occurrence two other students were giggling at the fact that Student Smith was asleep in class. The EMT Lead instructor decided it was appropriate to have a counseling session with Student Smith about sleeping in class. Student Counseling Date: 09/29/17
