Each student receives a daily grade in. The grade consist of the daily evaluation tool which includes the clinical log sheet of activities performed during the clinical rotation for each assigned clinical day. These documents are provided for the student in this handbook to assess prior to beginning clinical rotations. Clinical absence will result in a zero for the daily grade until makeup policy has been followed and makeup day completed.
Each student will be evaluated by the clinical instructor who was in charge during the student’s clinical rotations for each particular clinical area. Grade computation may vary from semester-to-semester. Grade composition for each semester will be provided to the student at the beginning of each semester.
Students are accountable for completing all components of the clinical grade. The student will receive a grade of "I" until all components are completed.
If after six (6) weeks the grade is not changed, it becomes an "F".
Wallace Community College and the Respiratory Therapist Program are adult educational programs. Students are expected to conduct themselves as adults and attend classes in a responsible manner. When absences do occur, the student must understand the impact they may have on academic progress within the program.

Each category is worth:
0 points to 20 points.
A task score of 0 in the safety task may result in the student’s removal from the clinical site and/or a mandatory remedial counseling session with the DCE and/or Program director.
Failure of the clinical component of the course will occur if a student incurs “0’s” on three different days throughout the clinical experience. The student must also meet the requirements for the number of successful care plan as determined by the Director of Clinical Education.
