Each examination will consist of 50 multiple-choice questions worth 2 points per question. Examinations will cover material from lectures, laboratory exercises, and reading assignments. Students are expected to take the examinations when scheduled. Failure to complete any of the scheduled examinations will require the student to take a cumulative make-up examination which will be administered on 12/21/17. The make-up examination may not be presented in the same format as the original examination. The grade received on the cumulative final examination will be entered as the grade for any of the missed examinations. Failure to make-up any missed examination on the scheduled make-up date will result in a grade of zero. LABORATORY ACTIVITIES The laboratory portion of this course is designed to assist you in a better understanding of dental materials and their working properties. Attendance and participation in the laboratory sessions is mandatory. Each lab session will be graded. Only one make-up lab will be given for missed laboratory activities- without penalty. Students must either: e-mail me via Moodlerooms, call in to the secretary or my office phone, and/or give a written and legitimized note as to why they missed a class- in order to not be penalized for additional absences. Students will receive a zero for additional laboratory absences missed if he/ or she fails to follow these procedures. The lowest lab grade will be dropped and the remaining grades for the lab sessions will be averaged. ATTENDANCE  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. These will be established in writing on the individual course outline.”  It is the student’s responsibility to be on time for all classes and clinical sessions.  In the event of inclement weather, access the college website at www.bergen.edu and a window will appear with either delayed opening or school closing information. You can listen to 1010WINSSchoolClosingCenter or access their web site at DHY- 204- Dental Materials Fall Page 14 hhtp://www.1010wins.com. You may also try local television stations such as News 12 New Jersey. If you call the main campus at (201)447-9200 you may receive information but do not rely on telephoning the college during periods of inclement weather/other emergencies. Also, check college homepage for current closing announcements. ATTENDANCE POLICY ON EXAMINATIONS  Attendance is mandatory at all examinations. Absence is not acceptable.  Only in extenuating circumstances with proper documentation (current physician’s note) will a make-up examination be administered. The make-up examination and date will be at the discretion of the faculty member.  If the absence is inexcusable, the student will receive a zero (0) for the examination.  To report an absence, please email Professor or call: and or leave a message in the Moodlerooms-Dental Materials site. In the event that you cannot contact Proessor., call the department secretary at: prior to a lecture or laboratory class. LATENESS FOR LECTURE & LAB Students are required to be on time for lecture and laboratory portions of the course. Occasionally, lateness can occur when guest lecture appearances from previous classes overlap the dental materials course. A student, (or students) consistently late for lecture or lab will receive up to 5 points deduction from the final grade, for each class missed, (faculty discretion). ABSENCES FROM LECTURE & Lab It is the student’s responsibility to prioritize all dental hygiene courses above personal or work- related schedules. A student who leaves early from class will be marked down as absent and receive up to 5 points deduction from the final grade, (faculty discretion). Students are not allowed more than one absence from either lecture or laboratory sessions. Unexcused absences will result in failure for the day. Written documentation concerning the absences, (or “legitimized” additional absences: extenuating illness or religious observances as stated in college policy), will suffice and prevent further infractions concerning the final grade in the course. It is the student’s responsibility to obtain make-up DHY- 204- Dental Materials Fall Page 15 work from a colleague, (NOT from the instructor). Those who exceed one or more times without explicable recourse, will receive an “INC” grade for the course, or will not be permitted to pass the course and progress to the next semester. (Refer to student/college policies). ABSENCE OF INSTRUCTOR  From the college catalogue: students are expected to wait 20 minutes for a faculty member to come to class  If at the end of 20 minutes the faculty member does not come, the students should sign an attendance sheet which indicates course, date, and time. One student should deliver the attendance sheet to the dental hygiene office.  Students cannot be penalized by faculty for not waiting longer than 20 minutes. EVALUATION Examinations 60% (five examinations; 12 % each) Laboratory and Laboratory and Clinical Competencies 35%=P/F Class Participation 5% (to include weekly forums) C The final letter grade will correspond to the following numerical value grading system: A 92-100 B+ 89-91 B 83-88 C+ 80-82 C 75-79 F 74 and below A MINIMUM GRADE OF “C” IS REQUIRED TO PASS THIS COURSE. A cumulative average of 75 MUST be achieved from the five examinations and laboratory evaluations in Dental Materials in order to pass the course. ADA DHY- 204- Dental Materials Fall Page 16 Every effort will be made to ensure classroom and laboratory access for all students. Students who have a documented disability may be eligible to receive accommodations for this class. Please contact the Office of Specialized Services (Room 131) for further information prior to the start of the course. ACADEMIC INTEGRITY The Bergen Community College Dental Hygiene Program will adhere to the Academic Integrity Policy, which is stated in the Bergen Community College Catalog. “Violation of academic integrity may be defined to include the following: cheating, plagiarism, falsification and fabrication, abuse of academic materials, complicity in academic misrepresentation.

ACADEMIC CONDUCT  The Dental Hygiene Faculty adheres to the policy statement governing academic conduct as outlined in the Bergen Community College Catalog.  Faculty may not post exam grades due to privacy 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, plagiarism, and unethical behavior will not be tolerated. Any student who has demonstrated any of the above behaviors will be disciplined according to college procedures.  Sidebar discussions during class sessions are not permitted. Faculty may dismiss a student who chooses not to comply with this policy.  No discussions are permitted once students are seated for an examination. Faculty may dismiss a student who chooses not to comply with this policy.  No cell phone use during lecture or lab sessions permitted.

Course Grade Appeal Policy Bergen Community College’s appeal policy states: 1. “A student raising a complaint or concern about a course grade may discuss the matter with the individual faculty member no later than the first two weeks of the semester, immediately following receipt of the grade. 2. If the grade appeal is not resolved, the student may bring the matter to appropriate department head within two weeks of discussion with the instructor. 3. The department head will investigate the appeal and attempt to resolve the matter as expeditiously as possible. The department head will notify the student either in writing or orally of the result. 4. If the appeal is not resolved, the student may put the appeal in writing, attaching copies of any supporting information and send it to the appropriate divisional dean within two weeks of hearing from the department head. 5. The divisional dean may consult other faculty in the discipline and the department head and may choose to meet with the student. The dean will notify the student in writing of the resolution. A grade appeal is sometimes a lengthy process and may take several weeks to resolve at DHY- 204- Dental Materials Fall Page 20 this stage. Every effort will be made to notify the student within one month. 6. After receipt of the dean’s written response, a student may continue the appeal process by writing to the Academic Vice president.
