Philosophy Statement The faculty of Cy-Fair College Medical Radiologic technology Program have adopted a set of foundational concepts that under-gird all instruction that occurs at Cy-Fair College. These foundational concepts communicate the unique instructional attributes of Cy-Fair College’s “Learning Signature”. The college’s signature distinctly conveys its commitment to providing innovative and creative learning environments which focus on student engagement and student cusses. These concepts are explained in the following white paper.

Foundation Concepts- Learning Signature Cy-Fair College Foundation Concepts Learning Signature Author: Christal Albrecht Last Revision Date: 5/06/03 Vision Addressed: Learning Signature
A Learning Signature represents an institution's value and vision related to learning. For Cy-Fair College, the Learning Signature was designed from the college's vision: "Cy-Fair College is a responsive, innovative and collaborative learning community that thrives on preparing student for a lifetime of learning and change." To accomplish this vision, Cy-Fair College has designed its learning signature to provide active learning engagement for each student. This focus on active learning supports the values of the North Harris Montgomery Community College District and the commitment for learning success of all students. Students preparing for a changing world need a new skill set that includes the ability to apply knowledge, be independent learners, work in groups and solve problems. The Cy-Fair College Learning Signature is designed to provide a number of methodologies that encourages the development of these higher-level skills. Engaging students as participants in their learning environment and empowering them to take responsibility for their learning is the focus of the educational strategies. Rather than provide only traditional lectures, which do not provide for interaction and creativity amongst students in the classroom, faculty members at Cy-Fair College serve students as mentors and facilitators of learning, guiding students through collaborative and interactive learning processes. Active learning engagement will be implemented in a variety of methods to reflect the wide range of student needs. Some methodologies include collaborative learning, learning communities, service learning, the use of instructional technology in the classroom, and distributed learning activities. While few faculty members will engage in all of these methodologies, the organizational and professional development system for faculty is designed to encourage, support, and celebrate these creative active learning methods. Cy-Fair College instructional leaders will work with each faculty member to identify those methods faculty members intend to use to assure support and recourses for their success. Learning communities generally involve linking two or more courses together enabling students to take classes together as a cohort. Faculty from each discipline team-teach the courses around an integrated theme. Learning Communities provide the student with an interdisciplinary perspective and the ability to apply knowledge in new situations. Collaborative and Cooperative Learning methodologies involve students working together in teams and to reach a common goal, such as completion of a class project. Central to the concept of collaborative
C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\CMAUDLIN\LOCAL SETTINGS\TEMPORARY INTERNET FILES\OLKAF\MASTER PLAN OF EDUCATION (2).DOC PAGE 5 OF 121
learning is that students learn better and learn more when they are responsible for constructing their own knowledge and are able to share ideas and with others, thereby strengthening their knowledge of the material and increasing the ways they interpret the information. Collaborative learning develops the team and group skills that are so important in today's workplace. Service learning is a learning strategy that combines classroom learning with civic experiences to meet identified needs of a community. Studies on service learning show that service learning engages students in their own learning, motivates them to learn, helps them acquire content knowledge, develops their sense of community, develops their interpersonal skills, and allows them to develop more realistic views of the world of work. Instructional Technology -With increasing use of technology in the workplace, it is imperative to provide multiple opportunities to experience the integrated use of technology within the instructional environment. At a minimum, the instructor will provide a gateway to resources of information via the Internet, and the student will critically review web sites providing content support for the course. The instructor demonstrates the use of technology in the classroom by supplementing the lecture with Internet activities, software tutorials, and multimedia such as Power Point presentations, and lecture notes or outlines produced as Word documents. Distributed learning is instruction that alters either the physical distance or contact between faculty member and student and includes such delivery modes as distance learning, flex courses and interactive television. Course materials are accessed through a web site on the Internet, Videocassette or Telecourse. The most successful distance learning students, are goal-directed, able to study independently, and willing to devote the same number of hours as required by a traditional classroom course.

Student Assessment CLINICAL PROCESS Observation and application of radiologic positioning, radiographic procedures and radiographic techniques are attained by students at various clinical facilities. These experiences are under the supervision of college instructors, staff radiographers and radiologist. Students will be assigned to specific radiographic rooms or imaging areas to observe and participate in the activities and exams being performed. Once students have experienced and applied their positioning and exam knowledge sufficiently, they may attempt an exam competency on a patient. When instructors verify clinical competency attainment, students are expected to maintain competent performance of the skill for the duration of the program. In any clinical term, the instructor may request that a student perform a radiographic exam previously mastered under the instructor’s direct observation. At any point within the program that the student regresses to unacceptable competency performance in a previously mastered skill, the competency will be removed. After remedial activities assigned to the student by the instructor are completed, the student may again attempt competency on a patient.
PROFESSIONAL SKILLS DEVELOPMENT EVALUATION Students will be evaluated periodically by radiographers at the clinical site. Student professional skills evaluation is based upon specific levels of technical and professional competency, and provides an opportunity for guidance and assistance when student improvement is deemed necessary. All evaluations are reviewed by the student and the program faculty/advisor. Clinical personnel and students are encouraged to complete the form together to clarify any areas of concern. A rating that is questioned by the student should be discussed with the evaluator. Differences not resolved at this point should be directed to the program faculty/advisor, at which time a conference including the persons involved in the matter will be held.
RADIOGRAPHIC EXAM CLINICAL COMPETENCY PROCEDURES All clinical competencies must be evaluated by a Radiography Program faculty member. All students attempting clinical competency will follow the procedure listed below: 1. The student will inform the faculty member of a competency attempt and provide the proper competency form prior to the radiographic exam. 2. The faculty member will evaluate the competency attempt from start to finish. The competency will be granted if the student satisfactorily completes all competency criteria. If a faculty member is not available, the student will initiate the following procedures: 1. The student will provide the staff radiographer with the competency form prior to the attempted competency. 2. A staff radiographer will evaluate the competency attempt from start to finish. The radiographer will evaluate all competency criteria and complete his/her portion of the form.
C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\CMAUDLIN\LOCAL SETTINGS\TEMPORARY INTERNET FILES\OLKAF\MASTER PLAN OF EDUCATION (2).DOC PAGE 57 OF 121
3. The student will bring to the faculty member the competency form within seven days from the attempt. The seven-day limit will be strictly enforced. 4. The faculty member will evaluate the competency criteria form with the student. At that time, the faculty member in his/her professional opinion will grant competency or reject the competency. These procedures will be strictly adhered to, and the faculty throughout the academic term will evaluate competency progress. Competencies previously granted in preceding academic terms will be scrutinized and, if maintenance of skill level is not adequate, the competency will be withdrawn. The student will have to make a new competency attempt under the above stated procedures. Clinical competencies can only be obtained during a student’s assigned clinical rotations. Students are not permitted to perform any radiographic procedures on patients outside of scheduled clinical assignments. Competency attempts during hours not assigned by the instructor will not be accepted and may result in disciplinary action.
GRADING POLICY Based on the requirement of 75% for passing the ARRT registry examination the following grading scale has been adopted. Percentage
Letter Grad e
93-100
A
85-92
B
75-84
C
69-74
D
68 or below
F
The clinical component of your courses are graded based on 1) the completion of the required clinical competencies, 2) compliance with program policies and 3)student responsibilities as listed in each course syllabus. The clinical education component is graded on a pass/fail basis. Theory and clinical are interdependent co-requisites; if a student fails either component the student cannot continue in the program. MINIMUM GRADE POLICY FOR COURSES Students are required to achieve a C grade (75%) or better in all Occupational Specific (that is, all Radiography Program courses) and most Occupational Support (for example, Anatomy and Physiology I and II classes. Students who obtain grades of D or F in any Occupational Specific or Occupational Support course will not be permitted to continue in the Radiology Program. The radiographer must have a thorough understanding and high degree of knowledge and competence in the many skills used to treat patients safely and effectively. Your grades reflect your mastery of the material.

Final Exam
Cy-Fair College and North Harris Montgomery Community College District Policies Academic Integrity Cy-Fair College is committed to a high standard of academic integrity in the academic community. In becoming a part of the academic community, students are responsible for honesty and independent effort. Failure to uphold these standards includes, but is not limited to, the following: plagiarizing written work or projects, cheating on exams or assignments, collusion on an exam or project, and misrepresentation of credentials or prerequisites when registering for a course. Cheating includes looking at or copying from another student's exam, orally communicating or receiving answers during an exam, having another person take an exam or complete a project or assignment, using unauthorized notes, texts, or other materials for an exam, and obtaining or distributing an unauthorized copy of an exam or any part of an exam. Plagiarism means passing off as his/her own the ideas or writings of another (that is, without giving proper credit by documenting sources). Plagiarism includes submitting a paper, report or project that someone else has prepared, in whole or in part. Collusion is inappropriately collaborating on assignments designed to be completed independently. These definitions are not exhaustive. When there is clear evidence of cheating, plagiarism, collusion or misrepresentation, disciplinary action may include but is not limited to: requiring you to retake or resubmit an exam or assignment, assigning a grade of zero or "F" for an exam or assignment; or assigning a grade of "F" for the course. Additional sanctions including being withdrawn from the course, program or expelled from school may be imposed on a students who violate the standards of academic integrity. Americans with Disabilities Act Statement Cy-Fair College is dedicated to providing the least restrictive environment for all students. We promote equity in academic access through the implementation of reasonable accommodations as required by the Vocational Rehabilitation Act of 1973, Title V, Section 504 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) which will enable students with disabilities to participate in and benefit from all post-secondary educational activities.
If you require reasonable accommodations because of a physical, mental, or learning disability, please contact the Assistant Dean for Student Services who will provide you with forms you need to request accommodations. Upon completion of the forms, please notify your instructor as soon as possible and preferably before the end of the first two weeks of class to arrange for reasonable accommodations.
Computer Virus Protection
C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\CMAUDLIN\LOCAL SETTINGS\TEMPORARY INTERNET FILES\OLKAF\MASTER PLAN OF EDUCATION (2).DOC PAGE 64 OF 121
Computer viruses are, unfortunately, a fact of life. Using diskettes on more than one computer creates the possibility of infecting computers and diskettes with a computer virus. This exposes the computers of the college, your personal computer, and any others you may be using to potentially damaging viruses. The college has aggressive anti-virus procedures in place to protect its computers, but cannot guarantee that a virus might not temporarily infect one of its machines. It is your responsibility to protect all computers under your control and use and ensure that each diskette you use, whenever or wherever you use it, has been scanned with anti-virus software. Since new viruses arise continually, your anti-virus software must be kept current. And, since no anti-virus software will find every virus, keeping backup copies is extremely important.
Evaluation of Instructor Instructors at Cy-Fair College are evaluated in several ways. Students provide input for each course they take in a semester. The college deans review these evaluations. The deans also complete an evaluation of the instructor and may visit each instructor’s class at some time during the semester to observe the instructional environment provided by the instructor.
Equal Opportunity Statement It is the policy of the North Harris Montgomery Community College District to provide equal employment, admission and educational opportunities without regard to race, color, religion, national origin, sex, age, or disability.
NHMCCD Colleges strive to provide an excellent learning environment free from harassment or intimidation directed at any person’s race, color, religion, national origin, sex, age, or disability. Any form of harassment will not be tolerated. Final Examinations A final evaluation activity will occur during the published final evaluation period. The appropriate associate dean must approve any variation to this schedule.
Guaranteed Graduate Policy
North Harris Montgomery Community College District guarantees that graduates of its Associate of Arts, Associate of Science, or Associate of Applied Science and all Certificate programs, providing under certain circumstances, additional education and training tuition free to students lacking appropriate mastery of specified competencies. For additional information, refer to the NHMCCD college catalog.
Internet and E-mail The District provides computing and network resources to students. You are encouraged to use the computers, software packages, and electronic mail (e-mail) for educational or District-related activities and to facilitate the efficient exchange of useful information. However, the equipment, software, and network capacities provided through the district computer services are and remain the property of the District. Use of the equipment and networks is to comport with the policies and procedures of the District and access may be denied to any student who fails to comply with the District’s policies and procedures regarding its use. Access to the District’s e-mail and similar electronic communications systems are a privilege and certain responsibilities accompany that privilege. All users are expected to demonstrate the same level of ethical and C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\CMAUDLIN\LOCAL SETTINGS\TEMPORARY INTERNET FILES\OLKAF\MASTER PLAN OF EDUCATION (2).DOC PAGE 65 OF 121
professional manner, as is required in face-to-face or written communications. Anonymous or forged messages will be treated as a violation of this policy. Software Piracy Law strictly prohibits unauthorized copying of software purchased by Cy-Fair College for use in laboratories. Cy-Fair College administration will take appropriate disciplinary action against anyone violating copyright laws. Withdrawal Policy Withdrawal from the course after the official day of record and prior to “W” Day, (see current catalog for this date) will result in a final grade of “W” on your transcript. No credit will be awarded for a course earning a “W”. If you stop attending class, you must withdraw at the registration office prior to “W” day. If you stop attending class and do not officially withdraw, you will receive an “F” for the course.

Cy-Fair College and North Harris Montgomery Community College District Policies Academic Integrity Cy-Fair College is committed to a high standard of academic integrity in the academic community. In becoming a part of the academic community, students are responsible for honesty and independent effort. Failure to uphold these standards includes, but is not limited to, the following: plagiarizing written work or projects, cheating on exams or assignments, collusion on an exam or project, and misrepresentation of credentials or prerequisites when registering for a course. Cheating includes looking at or copying from another student's exam, orally communicating or receiving answers during an exam, having another person take an exam or complete a project or assignment, using unauthorized notes, texts, or other materials for an exam, and obtaining or distributing an unauthorized copy of an exam or any part of an exam. Plagiarism means passing off as his/her own the ideas or writings of another (that is, without giving proper credit by documenting sources). Plagiarism includes submitting a paper, report or project that someone else has prepared, in whole or in part. Collusion is inappropriately collaborating on assignments designed to be completed independently. These definitions are not exhaustive. When there is clear evidence of cheating, plagiarism, collusion or misrepresentation, disciplinary action may include but is not limited to: requiring you to retake or resubmit an exam or assignment, assigning a grade of zero or "F" for an exam or assignment; or assigning a grade of "F" for the course. Additional sanctions including being withdrawn from the course, program or expelled from school may be imposed on a students who violate the standards of academic integrity. Americans with Disabilities Act Statement Cy-Fair College is dedicated to providing the least restrictive environment for all students. We promote equity in academic access through the implementation of reasonable accommodations as required by the Vocational Rehabilitation Act of 1973, Title V, Section 504 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) which will enable students with disabilities to participate in and benefit from all post-secondary educational activities.
If you require reasonable accommodations because of a physical, mental, or learning disability, please contact the Counseling Office to obtain the necessary information to request accommodations. Upon completion of this process, please notify your instructor as soon as possible and preferably before the end of the first two weeks of class to arrange for reasonable accommodations.
Computer Virus Protection Computer viruses are, unfortunately, a fact of life. Using diskettes on more than one computer creates the possibility of infecting computers and diskettes with a computer virus. This exposes the computers of the college, your personal computer, and any others you may be using to potentially damaging viruses. The college has aggressive anti-virus procedures in place to protect its computers, but cannot guarantee that a virus might not temporarily infect one of its machines. It is your responsibility to protect all computers under your control and use and ensure that each diskette you use, whenever or wherever you use it, has been scanned with anti-virus software. Since new viruses arise continually, your anti-virus software must be kept current. And, since no anti-virus software will find every virus, keeping backup copies is extremely important.
Evaluation of Instructor Instructors at Cy-Fair College are evaluated in several ways. Students provide input for each course they take in a semester. The college deans review these evaluations. The deans also complete an evaluation of the instructor and may visit each instructor’s class at some time during the semester to observe the instructional environment provided by the instructor.
C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\CMAUDLIN\LOCAL SETTINGS\TEMPORARY INTERNET FILES\OLKAF\MASTER PLAN OF EDUCATION (2).DOC PAGE 80 OF 121
Equal Opportunity Statement It is the policy of the North Harris Montgomery Community College District to provide equal employment, admission and educational opportunities without regard to race, color, religion, national origin, sex, age, or disability.
NHMCCD Colleges strive to provide an excellent learning environment free from harassment or intimidation directed at any person’s race, color, religion, national origin, sex, age, or disability. Any form of harassment will not be tolerated. Final Examinations A final evaluation activity will occur during the published final evaluation period. The appropriate associate dean must approve any variation to this schedule.
Guaranteed Graduate Policy
North Harris Montgomery Community College District guarantees that graduates of its Associate of Arts, Associate of Science, or Associate of Applied Science and all Certificate programs, providing under certain circumstances, additional education and training tuition free to students lacking appropriate mastery of specified competencies. For additional information, refer to the NHMCCD college catalog.
Internet and E-mail The District provides computing and network resources to students. You are encouraged to use the computers, software packages, and electronic mail (e-mail) for educational or District-related activities and to facilitate the efficient exchange of useful information. However, the equipment, software, and network capacities provided through the district computer services are and remain the property of the District. Use of the equipment and networks is to comport with the policies and procedures of the District and access may be denied to any student who fails to comply with the District’s policies and procedures regarding its use. Access to the District’s e-mail and similar electronic communications systems are a privilege and certain responsibilities accompany that privilege. All users are expected to demonstrate the same level of ethical and professional manner, as is required in face-to-face or written communications. Anonymous or forged messages will be treated as a violation of this policy. Software Piracy Law strictly prohibits unauthorized copying of software purchased by Cy-Fair College for use in laboratories. Cy-Fair College administration will take appropriate disciplinary action against anyone violating copyright laws. Withdrawal Policy Withdrawal from the course after the official day of record and prior to “W” Day, (see current catalog for this date) will result in a final grade of “W” on your transcript. No credit will be awarded for a course earning a “W”. If you stop attending class, you must withdraw at the registration office prior to “W” day. If you stop attending class and do not officially withdraw, you will receive an “F” for the course.

Emergencia! Emergency Translation Manual, Lisa Maitland de Hernández, 2002, Delmar, Thompson Learning ISBN- 0-7668-3626-6 Recommended Web sites: www.arrt.org www.asrt.org www.rsna.org www.ahra.org Instructor guidelines and policies Attendance: It is a fact that regular attendance is required for satisfactory achievement in this highly technical course. Therefore, it is the responsibility of the student to be present in class each time it is scheduled to meet. Attendance will be recorded at each lecture and a quiz may be given at the beginning of class with no “make-ups.” Assignments: Each student is responsible for reading the assigned chapter(s) for each class before arriving in class. This allows an intelligent discussion of the material and an opportunity for the instructor to answer questions that may have arisen in the students’ minds while reading the material. We will not back track discussion of material because a student is behind in reading assignments. We have a tremendous amount of material to cover in a short amount of time. We can only do this with the cooperation of all class members. Look at the lecture schedule that follows. Look, for example, at the August 25th entry. Ch. 1 in the Patient Care book is listed as the subject material to be discussed on that Wednesday. You should read Ch. 1 BEFORE coming to class. The quiz given at the beginning of class will be on the chapter reading corresponding with the lecture material for that particular day. Make-up Exams: : If a student is absent on the day of a major examination, the student may make up the missed work as follows; The missed work must be made up by 4:00 pm on the next course day following the absence. The make-up test will be administered in the assessment center and will be a different test than that administered to the class on the regular test date. Please contact me ASAP if you will be absent on the day an assignment is due or when we are taking an exam. Cell phones and beepers: NOT ALLOWED without prior permission from me (and then they must be in silent mode). The noise from cell phones and beepers is distracting to students and lecturers alike. One point will be deducted from your professionalism grade for each and every cell phone/pager interruption that occurs.

The topic must be approved by the instructor by the third day of class. Some suggested topics: Nontraditional Uses of Radiography; Radiographic findings in AIDS [multiple myeloma, child abuse, Alzheimer's, etc.]; The future of radiographers in a digital age; Therapeutic Cloning- if you have an interest-- let's talk. Paper length should be adequate to cover the topic thoroughly and must have at least 3 professional journal articles in the references. Cy-Fair College and North Harris Montgomery Community College District Policies Academic Integrity Cy-Fair College is committed to a high standard of academic integrity in the academic community. In becoming a part of the academic community, students are responsible for honesty and independent effort. Failure to uphold these standards includes, but is not limited to, the following: plagiarizing written work or projects, cheating on exams or assignments, collusion on an exam or project, and misrepresentation of credentials or prerequisites when registering for a course. Cheating includes looking at or copying from another student's exam, orally communicating or receiving answers during an exam, having another person take an exam or complete a project or assignment, using unauthorized notes, texts, or other materials for an exam, and obtaining or distributing an unauthorized copy of an exam or any part of an exam. Plagiarism means passing off as his/her own the ideas or writings of another (that is, without giving proper credit by documenting sources). Plagiarism includes submitting a paper, report or project that someone else has prepared, in whole or in part. Collusion is inappropriately collaborating on assignments designed to be completed independently. These definitions are not exhaustive. When there is clear evidence of cheating, plagiarism, collusion or misrepresentation, disciplinary action may include but is not limited to: requiring you to retake or resubmit an exam or assignment, assigning a grade of zero or "F" for an exam or assignment; or assigning a grade of "F" for the course. Additional sanctions including being withdrawn from the course, program or expelled from school may be imposed on a students who violate the standards of academic integrity. Americans with Disabilities Act Statement Cy-Fair College is dedicated to providing the least restrictive environment for all students. We promote equity in academic access through the implementation of reasonable accommodations as required by the Vocational Rehabilitation Act of 1973, Title V, Section 504 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) which will enable students with disabilities to participate in and benefit from all post-secondary educational activities. If you require reasonable accommodations because of a physical, mental, or learning disability, please contact the Counseling Office to obtain the necessary information to request accommodations. Upon completion of this process, please notify your instructor as soon as possible and preferably before the end of the first two weeks of class to arrange for reasonable accommodations. Computer Virus Protection Computer viruses are, unfortunately, a fact of life. Using diskettes on more than one computer creates the possibility of infecting computers and diskettes with a computer virus. This exposes the computers of the college, your personal computer, and any others you may be using to potentially damaging viruses. The college has aggressive anti-virus procedures in place to protect its computers, but cannot guarantee that a virus might not temporarily infect one of its machines. It is your responsibility to protect all computers
PAGE 96 OF 121
under your control and use and ensure that each diskette you use, whenever or wherever you use it, has been scanned with anti-virus software. Since new viruses arise continually, your anti-virus software must be kept current. And, since no anti-virus software will find every virus, keeping backup copies is extremely important. Evaluation of Instructor Instructors at Cy-Fair College are evaluated in several ways. Students provide input for each course they take in a semester. The college deans review these evaluations. The deans also complete an evaluation of the instructor and may visit each instructor’s class at some time during the semester to observe the instructional environment provided by the instructor.
Equal Opportunity Statement It is the policy of the North Harris Montgomery Community College District to provide equal employment, admission and educational opportunities without regard to race, color, religion, national origin, sex, age, or disability. NHMCCD Colleges strive to provide an excellent learning environment free from harassment or intimidation directed at any person’s race, color, religion, national origin, sex, age, or disability. Any form of harassment will not be tolerated. Final Examinations A final evaluation activity will occur during the published final evaluation period. The appropriate associate dean must approve any variation to this schedule. Guaranteed Graduate Policy North Harris Montgomery Community College District guarantees that graduates of its Associate of Arts, Associate of Science, or Associate of Applied Science and all Certificate programs, providing under certain circumstances, additional education and training tuition free to students lacking appropriate mastery of specified competencies. For additional information, refer to the NHMCCD college catalog. Internet and E-mail The District provides computing and network resources to students.

Instructor guidelines and policies
Attendance: It is a fact that regular attendance is required for satisfactory achievement in this highly technical course. Therefore, it is the responsibility of the student to be present in class each time it is scheduled. Attendance will be recorded at each lecture. If a student’s grade average fall below 75%, the student will be required to attend an additional study session.
Assignments: Each student is responsible for reading the chapter(s) for class before arriving in class. This allows an intelligent discussion of the material and an opportunity for the instructor to answer questions that may have arisen in the students’ mind while reading the material. We will not back track discussion of material at a later date due to (a) student(s) behind in reading assignments. We have a tremendous amount of material to cover in a short amount of time. We can only do this with the cooperation of all class members.
There will a research paper and presentation due during the class. Instructor will determine topics
Make-up Exams: If an students is absent on the day of a major examination, the student may make up the missed exam as follows; The missed exam must be made up by 4:00 pm on the next course day following the absence. The make up exam will be administered in the assessment center. Please contact me ASAP if you will be absent on the day an assignment is due or when taking an exam.
Cell phones and beepers: NOT ALLOWED without prior permission from me ( and then they must be in silent mode). The noise from cell phones and beepers is distracting to students and lecturers. One point will be deducted from your professionalism grade for each time there is a cell/beeper interruption.

When there is clear evidence of cheating, plagiarism, collusion or misrepresentation, disciplinary action may include but is not limited to: requiring you to retake or resubmit an exam or assignment, assigning a grade of zero or "F" for an exam or assignment; or assigning a grade of "F" for the course. Additional sanctions including being withdrawn from the course, program or expelled from school may be imposed on a students who violate the standards of academic integrity. Americans with Disabilities Act Statement Cy-Fair College is dedicated to providing the least restrictive environment for all students. We promote equity in academic access through the implementation of reasonable accommodations as required by the Vocational Rehabilitation Act of 1973, Title V, Section 504 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) which will enable students with disabilities to participate in and benefit from all post-secondary educational activities.
If you require reasonable accommodations because of a physical, mental, or learning disability, please contact the Assistant Dean for Student Services who will provide you with forms you need to request accommodations. Upon completion of the forms, please notify your instructor as soon as possible and preferably before the end of the first two weeks of class to arrange for reasonable accommodations.
Computer Virus Protection Computer viruses are, unfortunately, a fact of life. Using diskettes on more than one computer creates the possibility of infecting computers and diskettes with a computer virus. This exposes the computers of the college, your personal computer, and any others you may be using to potentially damaging viruses. The college has aggressive anti-virus procedures in place to protect its computers, but cannot guarantee that a virus might not temporarily infect one of its machines. It is your responsibility to protect all computers under your control and use and ensure that each diskette you use, whenever or wherever you use it, has been scanned with anti-virus software. Since new viruses arise continually, your anti-virus software must be kept current. And, since no anti-virus software will find every virus, keeping backup copies is extremely important.
Evaluation of Instructor Instructors at Cy-Fair College are evaluated in several ways. Students provide input for each course they take in a semester. The college deans review these evaluations. The deans also complete an evaluation of the instructor and may visit each instructor’s class at some time during the semester to observe the instructional environment provided by the instructor.

Competency – Based Clinical Education INTRODUCTION: The Radiography Program utilizes a competency based education process. Students are required to meet pre-defined standards for performing each examination. A competency-based system of education emphasizes formative or ongoing feedback rather than summative feedback given at the end of the clinical experience or rotation. Thus clinical instructors provide ongoing feedback to students. Students are responsible for obtaining information and/or materials needed for documenting completion of competencies. Instructors will provide the necessary information for completion of competencies through the following instructional methods or techniques. • Lectures • Reading assignments • Audiovisual aids • Demonstrations • Independent learning modules/packets • Peer tutoring • Direct clinical experiences • Service learning projects • Collaborative assignments RESOURCES Library • • • • •
