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, disposable speculae, earmold impression supplies, probe tubes, and hearing aid analysis/REM paper.
- 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 otherwise 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. Students are to give first priority to clinical students in Audiology Clinic III needing audiology suites for clinic. A grade of “0” will be given for all past-due assignments. No make up assignments will be given.
Tests: A test will be given by each instructor at the end of her/his series of lectures 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, May 3, 2010; no makeup tests will be allowed.
Hearing Evaluation: Each student will complete basic hearing evaluations, solo, on two patients with suspected or known hearing loss. The patients will be scheduled by the instructors and/or the lab GA (Kristen Weinbaum) on Mondays during lab time. Students assigned times and days are posted on Blackboard. Both evaluations will be graded and are part of the “lab assignments” portion of the grade.
Students may obtain ASHA hours for these hearing evaluations. The “Audiology Clinical Experience Tracking Form” must be completed and signed by the supervising instructor upon completion of the evaluation. Yellow ASHA hour sheets must be completed online and placed on the “I” drive under “audclinic” file. Then go to the “Daily and yellow ASHA hour” file and then the “Spring 2010” file by the last day of class.
Students not scheduled for a hearing evaluation will be completing other lab assignments during her/his assigned lab time. All students are expected to attend the lectures as scheduled on the days of the hearing evaluations.
Clinic Observations: Each student is required to observe five different clinics. The clinics that can be observed are: adult diagnostics, adult hearing aids, pediatric diagnostics, pediatric APD, pediatric CI, adult CI, auditory rehabilitation, and vestibular. The student is to sign up for clinic observations in the audiology student workroom. The GA, Kristen, will post the signup sheets on a weekly basis. The five observations must be completed by April 1st.
These observations will begin this week. Keep in mind that appointments have a tendency to change at a moment’s notice or patients do no show for their appointments. It is important to sign up as soon as you can and be flexible. Prior to the day of the observation, inform the supervisor of the clinic slot by email that you will be observing. In some cases the student will be asked to observe from an observation room (vestibular and CI clinics) or from a monitor (AR).
The supervisor must sign the Clinic Observation Tracking Sheet after the observation. You will need to complete a brief written observation on the Clinic Observation Form. The forms need to be placed in the box located outside of Dr. Carr’s office within 48 hours of the observation. These will be graded as part of the “lab assignments” portion of the grade.
Note: the Clinic Observation Tracking Sheet must be submitted to Dr. Carr no later than April 5st.
Hearing Screening: Each student is required to participate in at least one hearing screening held throughout the semester. Signup sheets will be within the first several weeks of classes. Specifics will be stated on each signup sheet as well as in confirmation emails. This will be part of the lab assignment grade.
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 or email ASAP. Grand Round dates are: 1/22, 2/12, 3/5, and 4/9.

- 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 cell phone. 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. One unexcused absence will result in the reduction of the final lab grade by one level. Students will receive no credit for quizzes, exams, presentations missed due to an unexcused absence. 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.
