scientific theories and research as well as the accepted standard of care.
Communicate effectively with individuals and groups from diverse populations
both verbally and in writing.
Teaching Methodology: Oral Embryology and Histology is a hybrid online course. A
portion of the course work will be presented by lecture and PowerPoint presentations in
class and the remainder will be offered online. Inquiry learning is often conducted to
engage the students and increase student contribution and participation.
ADA Compliance Statement:
Students who require accommodations in accordance with the Americans with
Disabilities Act (ADA) can request these services from the Office of Specialized Services.
To learn more about how to apply for services. Please visit them at:
http://www.bergen.edu/oss
Examination Policy:
There will be 4 (one each month) non-cumulative examinations during the semester.
The dates will be announced during session 1 of the Fall semester.
Make-up exams will be administered at the discretion of the instructor during the last
week of the semester and will represent a format different than the regularly scheduled
exam. If the student misses the scheduled make-up exam, a grade of “0” will be given.
Course Requirements:
Grading is the responsibility and province of the instructor. All students will be graded
consistently and fairly. Continuous open communication between student and instructor
will be encouraged and appreciated.
There will be assigned readings and supplemental studies.
To receive a passing grade, students must achieve a grade average of 75 and above.
Evaluation:
Exams (4) – 90%, all weighted equally
Assignments – 10% - Completion of 4 Study Guides
7 | A s s t . P r o f . D . A v r u t i k – O r a l H i s t o l o g y a n d E m b r y o l o g y S y l l a b u s ( D H Y 1 0 9 )
The following grading system reflects the policy established by the college and shall be
used in this course:
A - 92 – 100
B+ - 89 – 91
B - 83 – 88
C+ - 80 – 82
C - 75 – 79
F - below 75
Evaluation
A cumulative average of 75 must be achieved on all examinations in Histology to
successfully pass the course. When a student has not been able to earn a “C” grade or
better, the student will receive the letter grade “F” which signifies the course must be
repeated.
Grading Policy
It is an unfortunate feature of grade windows that many people are within a point of
the next higher grade. In order to maintain the integrity of the system I feel that I have
to be consistent in allocating grades. In doing so, I don’t think that one can permit
personal issues to influence the decision. I have outlined a grading scheme that is as
generous as possible but maintains the standards of the college. In doing so I am not
able to change the assigned grades.
Attendance/Punctuality:
Bergen Community College’s attendance policy states: “All students are expected to
attend punctually every scheduled meeting of each course in which they are registered.
Attendance and lateness policies and sanctions are to be determined by the instructor
of each course.”
All program classes and activities must be prioritized. Scheduling conflicts must be
resolved by the student so that program classes and activities are met.
Please note that attendance is critical to successful completion of the program. It is
your responsibility to find out what you have missed by consulting the instructor. I will
not pursue you regarding your missed work.
8 | A s s t . P r o f . D . A v r u t i k – O r a l H i s t o l o g y a n d E m b r y o l o g y S y l l a b u s ( D H Y 1 0 9 )
More than two (2) unexcused absences will result in a loss of credit in this
course and will result in the student repeating the entire course.
Two tardy arrivals will equal one absence.
Absence of the Instructor:
As noted in the college catalog, students are expected to wait twenty (20) minutes for a
faculty member to come to class. If at the end of the twenty minutes, the faculty
member does not come, the students should sign an attendance sheet and indicate the
course, date and time. A student should deliver this attendance sheet to the dental
hygiene office. The students cannot be penalized by faculty for not waiting longer than
the twenty minutes.
Serious Illness, Injury or Pregnancy:
A student in the Dental Hygiene program, who sustains a serious illness, injury or
becomes pregnant, must present written medical permission to attend classes and
clinical practice at the time of resuming studies. Pregnant students must provide the
Dental Hygiene coordinator with a written permission slip from their physician to
participate in radiology and clinical courses. The college medical office and the
instructor must each receive a copy of this medical clearance.
Your good health is essential to the practice of dental hygiene. In order to successfully
complete the program, full participation in all areas of practice is required regardless of
medical conditions.
Academic Conduct:
The Dental Hygiene faculty adheres to the policy statement governing academic
conduct as outlined in the Bergen Community College catalog.
Tape recorders are not permitted in DHY 109.
Faculty may not post exam grades due to laws.
Faculty reserve the right to delay the return of exam grades until all students
have taken the exam and faculty review of the exam has been completed.
Cheating, plagarism and unethical behavior will not be tolerated. Any student
who has demonstrated any of the above behaviors will be disciplined according
to college procedures.
Cell phone use is NOT permitted during class.

Progression Requirements:
A student must complete the Dental Hygiene program within four consecutive
years from enrollment in the program.
Two core dental hygiene course failures prohibit the student from progressing in
the program.
All dental hygiene students who are withdrawing from a dental hygiene course
(DHY) or have received an “F” grade in any course must notify the dental
hygiene program chairman about their intention to repeat the course.
General science and education pre- and co- requisites must be fulfilled as listed
in the course sequence of the catalog and program brochure.
It is the responsibility of the individual student to review the prerequisites for
each course prior to registration.
Recommended Practice:
To effectively manage the course for successful completion, the following is
recommended:
Read and follow the course syllabus
Follow the course calendar
Complete all of the required readings, assignments and reviews.
Use the email communication system for communicating with each other and
your professor on a regular basis.
Consult the instructor if you have any questions regarding the course material.
Email and Moodle Communication
I will attempt to answer all email communication within 24 hours of receipt Monday
through Friday. The only exception to this would be on my non-teaching day which is
Thursday. I will check my email at a minimum of once during the weekend and will
answer all weekend Moodle mail by 8:30 PM on Sunday. Please check your email on a
daily basis and respond in an efficient manner. If you would like to schedule an online
discussion with me please email me a suggested time.
Netiquette Reminders During Discussions and Forums
