- Course Readings, Online Resources, and Other Purchases: Audiology Clinic Lab I Manual – Students are to purchase from Pro-Copy, 5219 E. Fowler Ave, Tampa, FL, 33617. Refer to the “Course Schedule” for units discussed each week.
The materials fee attached to this lab will be used to cover expenses of materials used in the completion of lab assignments. These materials include but are not limited to disposable insert phones, immittance paper, audiograms, cleaning supplies, and disposable speculae.
- Student Expectations/Requirements and Grading Policy: Graded Practical Lab Assignments: Specific details for each lab assignment will be given in advance of the due date. Most lab assignments will be completed during the assigned lab session. Lab assignments not completed during the assigned lab session will need to be completed outside of the lab session and are due at the next lab session, unless other specified. For the completion of assignments outside of the assigned lab session, students must reserve an audiology suite on the sign-up sheet, designating suite availability, posted in the Research Lab room on the first floor. A grade of “0” will be given for all past-due assignments. No make up assignments will be given.
Unit Tests: A test will be given at the end of each or several units as noted on the syllabus. These will contain a written portion and may contain a practical portion. No make up tests will be allowed.
Final Exam: Will contain a practical and written portion to be given Monday, December 7, 2009 from 10 to 12.
Practice Hearing Evaluation: This will consist of lab students working in assigned pairs completing the basic hearing evaluation on normal hearing patients. These patients will be students in the undergraduate hearing science class who will be earning required class credit. These evaluations will take place on Mondays during lab time and on an occasional Wednesday and Friday. Lab students will be given a schedule of the evaluations as soon as the undergraduate students have signed up. This is for your practice.
Solo Hearing Evaluation: These will be given individually at arranged times near the end of the semester.
25 Hours of Observation and CPR/HIV: The 25 hours of observation for those who did not complete at the undergraduate level will need to completed by the end of the semester. Those of you, who have completed the hours, please submit paperwork with original signatures to me. As for the CPR/HIV certification, please make a copy of the certificates and submit to me within the first 2 weeks of class.
Grand Rounds: All 1st, 2nd, and 3rd year AuD students are required to attend Grand Rounds. Starting time is promptly at 10:30 am and the door will be closed at 10:30 am. Anyone entering after 10:30 am will be considered as absent. ONE UNEXCUSED ABSENCE OR TWO TARDIES AT GRAND ROUNDS WILL RESULT IN A REDUCTION OF THE FINAL LAB GRADE. This means a reduction by one grade level. For example “A” becomes “A-”, “A-” becomes “B+”. If for some reason you cannot attend a session(s) due to illness, emergency, or other extenuating circumstances, notify Dr. Lister by phone ASAP. Grand Round dates are: 9/11, 10/9, 11/13, and 12/4.

- Attendance Policy: 1. Attendance Policy: Attendance is required at all scheduled labs. If for some reason you cannot attend a session(s) due to illness, emergencies, or other extenuating circumstances, notify your instructor ASAP. You may contact your supervisor via e-mail or voice-mail. If you need to be absent due to medical reasons (yours or your immediate family's) on a test day or a day that an assignment is due, please provide a physician's note and notify the instructor prior to class.
It is to your advantage to participate in lab discussions. This is the time to share and question in order to enhance your learning.
Students are expected to notify their instructors at the beginning of each academic term if they intend to be absent for a class or announced examination. Students absent for religious reasons, as noticed to the instructor at the beginning of each academic term, will be given reasonable opportunities to make up any work missed. For further information, please refer to:
http://generalcounsel.usf.edu/policies-and-procedures/pdfs/policy-10-045.pdf
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.
- Policy on Make-up Work: Make-up work may be arranged with the instructor in the event of an excused absence.
12. ACADEMIC INTEGRITY/ACADEMIC DISHONESTY:
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. The University of South Florida has very specific policies and procedures regarding academic dishonesty or disruption of academic process. If you have any questions, please refer to the University’s Academic Dishonesty policy at
• Procedures for Alleged Academic Dishonesty or Disruption:
