Presentation: All students are required to present on a regional anesthetic technique. The presentation should be 20-25 minutes in length and presented professionally. All presentations will be graded on the following areas: 1) mastery of content; 2) presentation style including voice pattern, voice tone, and volume, eye contact, and body movement; length of presentation; 3) ability to communicate material to the audience; ability to involve audience in participation (class peers) and 4) visual aids. All presentations will be videotaped for the benefit of students.
Theory/Model Paper: 10%
Each student will be select and write on a theory or model used in anesthesia for best practice. Students will research this topic and produce a manuscript on the topic that details a theory, model or concept related to anesthesia and the importance related to anesthesia (general, local, or regional). Manuscripts are expected to written in a professional manuscript APA style writing. Manuscripts will be graded on appropriate content, organization, grammar, spelling, APA format and ability to convey necessary information. There will be no papers accepted after the deadline date of July 9th , any paper turned in after this date will receive a grade of 0.

Check with the College for specific information. This policy is not applicable to courses in the following categories: Educational Outreach, Open University (TV), FEEDS Program, Community Experiential Learning (CEL), Cooperative Education Training, and courses that do not have regularly scheduled meeting days/times (such as, directed reading/research or study, individual research, thesis, dissertation, internship, practica, etc.). Students are responsible for dropping undesired courses in these categories by the 5th day of classes to avoid fee liability and academic penalty. (See USF Regulation – Registration - 4.0101,
http://usfweb2.usf.edu/usfgc/ogc%20web/currentreg.htm)
Attendance Policy for the Observance of Religious Days by Students: In accordance with Sections 1006.53 and 1001.74(10)(g) Florida Statutes and Board of Governors Regulation 6C-6.0115, the University of South Florida (University/USF) has established the following policy regarding religious observances: (http://usfweb2.usf.edu/usfgc/gc_pp/acadaf/gc10-045.htm)
In the event of an emergency, it may be necessary for USF to suspend normal operations. During this time, USF may opt to continue delivery of instruction through methods that include but are not limited to: Blackboard, Elluminate, Skype, and email messaging and/or an alternate schedule. It’s the responsibility of the student to monitor Blackboard site for each class for course specific communication, and the main USF, College, and department websites, emails, and MoBull messages for important general information.
Students are expected to attend class at scheduled times. Please contact the lead faculty by e-mail if an absence is necessary. Work deadlines will not be extended unless arrangements are made with the lead faculty prior to/or immediately after a class.
- Policy on Make-up Work: Students attending the University of South Florida are awarded degrees in recognition of successful completion of coursework in their chosen fields of study. Each individual is expected to earn his/her degree on the basis of personal effort. Consequently, any form of cheating on examinations or plagiarism on assigned papers constitutes unacceptable deceit and dishonesty. Disruption of the classroom or teaching environment is also unacceptable. This cannot be tolerated in the University community and will be punishable, according to the seriousness of the offense, in conformity with this rule. http://www/ugs/usf/edu/catalogs/0304/adadap.htm
