Class Attendance Policy
Attendance is mandatory for all labs and scheduled exams. You are expected to arrive to lab prior to the start of class and be seated so lab can begin on time. Unless there is an extenuating circumstance or serious life event (e.g. illness, death in the family), you will not be able to make-up a missed/incomplete lab or exam and you will receive a zero for any performance-based assessments scheduled for that week. Make-up labs or exams will only be given if important medical reasons warrant (e.g. doctor’s excuse, death in the family) and students contact their campus faculty course coordinator PRIOR to the start of lab in order to receive an excused absence. In the event the student cannot make their scheduled lab session (e.g. due to timing conflict with a professionally-related event scheduled in advance), the student may switch to an alternate lab session that day if this request is submitted via email to the campus course coordinator at least one week in advance. The appropriateness of the lab session swap will be up to the discretion of the campus course coordinator and may not be approved in all circumstances. Please refer to the University Attendance Policy at https://catalog.ufl.edu/ugrad/current/regulations/info/attendance.aspx
Quiz/Exam Policy
Weekly Pre-Lab Quizzes Weekly pre-lab quizzes will be administered online through the course website. Quizzes will consist knowledge related to that week’s module and covered during pre-lab preparatory activites (e.g., videos and readings). Quizzes will consist of multiple choice, true/false, or case-based questions. Weekly pre-
lab quizzes will be completed at the start of each lab session. Performance on quizzes is an individual effort and collaboration is not permitted.
Top 200 Exam This will consist of 50 multiple choice questions taken from the drug cards. The exam will be administered via ExamSoft. Eligible content includes the brand name(s), generic name, and drug class/indication. Students must obtain an 80% or better on this exam in order to pass the course. Those who do not achieve this score will receive an Incomplete for the course and retake the exam in Professional Practice Skills Lab III in the Fall semester. If a passing score (i.e., ≥ 80%) is achieved on the second attempt then the score from both attempts will be averaged to arrive at the score which will be used for determining the course grade. Students who fail to obtain a passing score after two attempts will meet with the course coordinator to discuss potential options, which may include a 3rd attempt. Failing to pass this course may result in a student’s progression through the curriculum being delayed. A student’s performance in other aspects of the course will help determine how the situation is addressed. This is a self-taught portion of the course and students are responsible for preparing themselves for the exam. A list of the drugs that will appear on the examination will be released at the beginning of the course. Year 1 Objective Structured Clinical Exam The OSCE will consist of 16 stations where students have 10 minutes per station. Eight of the stations involve interacting with a person (patient or health-care provider) and the other 8 are computer-based questions to answer. Topics may include those from skills lab as well as from other required pharmacy courses in the 1st professional year. Each student will receive a specific appointment time for their OSCE. All students will take the OSCE at the Gainesville campus. More details will be provided on course website. The OSCEs have a minimum score which must be obtained in order to pass them. Students who fail to achieve this minimum score will meet with the course coordinator to determine the remediation process.
Make-up Quiz/Exam Policy Missing Weekly Pre-Lab Quizzes Because pre-lab quizzes will be administered at the start of the lab session, only those who are granted an excuse for missing the lab session will be granted a make-up for the quiz. In the event of a REAL EMERGENCY (illness, sudden death in the family), an extension on the weekly pre-lab quiz may be approved by the course coordinator in specific circumstances. These exceptions will be granted at the discretion of the course coordinator. Top 200 Drug Exam Attendance at the Top 200 Drug Exam is mandatory. In the event of a REAL EMERGENCY (illness, sudden death in the family), a make-up examination may be provided and is at the discretion of the course coordinator. Missing Scheduled Year 1 OSCE Examination Attendance and completion of the Year 1 OSCE is mandatory. The OSCE may only be missed for REAL EMERGENCIES (acute illness or sudden death in the family). A student who is unable to complete the exam should notify the course coordinator within 24 hours. Students with an absence deemed excusable by the course coordinator will be scheduled for another OSCE time within the testing window.

Be diligent and timely in studying the course material.
Be on time for class sessions, quizzes, and exams.
Be prepared for group discussions and conference calls. Do your own work.
Actively collaborate with peers when assigned to groups. Inform the course coordinator about an absence from an exam or other assigned class
activity at least 24 hours prior to the event. Dress appropriately for class sessions or clinically related activities.
Turn off cell phones and other electronic communication devices during a class session or

Address faculty with the appropriate title and name, i.e., Dr. (last name) or Professor (last name).
Address concerns about performance or course material directly with the course coordinator, facilitator, or teaching assistant.
Seek assistance with academic or personal difficulties as soon as possible.
Communications Discussion Board Policy The purpose of the discussion board is to provide a venue for you to enhance your learning. This is accomplished by having a thread for each module where you can post questions to the course coordinators. (A thread is a single link that is devoted to a topic.) The discussion board is also a place where your instructors may post virtual cases for you to work up.
Such interaction on the discussion boards with the instructors will allow you to clarify your questions and apply what you are learning in other parts of the course. The goal of these discussions is to help you learn.
Students Netiquette on the Discussion Board:
1. Post your comment on the correct discussion thread. If you have a question about A1 (Unit A - Module 1), post it in the discussion thread for A1 and not the B1 thread.
2. The discussion board is not a place to complain. Complaints should instead be directed directly to the instructor via email. This allows the primary course coordinator to quickly address your concern without causing distraction to other students who have limited time and want to focus on learning.
3. Use "netiquette." If you have never learned "netiquette" - please visit the following URL: http://www.albion.com/netiquette/corerules.html If you follow the rules of netiquette described in this URL, you will avoid posting an embarrassing or inappropriate comment.
4. The discussion board has been designed to allow you a place to ask further questions on the material to clarify any confusion, gain a deeper understanding of the material, or ask general course questions. A question you might see on a discussion board is “What do I need to study for the exam?” Please reflect on how this question can be perceived by your lecturing faculty as well as your fellow classmates. Rewording the question to address a specific topic would be more appropriate. For example, “Dr. XX, you listed numerous side effects for drug XX on slide XX. Of those, what are the most relevant that we could expect to occur and monitor for in clinical practice.” The type of material that is covered in these classes is material that is important for patient care. All of this material is important. There are variations in courses, but please make use of your syllabus since there might be guidance on how to prepare for various exams in your classes.
5. In most situations, lectures are released as planned by the course coordinators. Clarifying at the beginning of a semester on the planned release date/time, if not posted in the syllabus, is appropriate. Continual posts on the discussion board on weekly basis can become overwhelming for the course coordinator as well as your fellow students.
Faculty member Response Time:
1. The Course Coordinators/instructors will work to respond to postings within 24 hours of the posting between Monday and Friday 12N. Responses on weekends and holidays will be
sporatic. (On weekends when assignments are due, students are advised to post questions before 12Noon on Friday.)
Email Communications:
1. When communicating with faculty via email, the subject line needs to include the course number & title.
2. At the end of the email, in addition to listing your name, list your academic year and campus/site.
Question/Answer sessions in live class sessions: Time is usually reserved at the end of the class for questions regarding the material to clear up any confusion or expand on material covered in the particular section. This is a valuable time for all students and since time is limited, the questions should focus on the topics at hand. Questions such as, “What material will be covered on an upcoming exam?” or, “Do we need to know dosing for the exam?” are inappropriate during this time period. In our profession, all material is important. However, if this question does need to be asked, please consider using the discussion board to clarify any specific exam questions.
Religious Holidays
Please see the University policy on attendance and religious holidays:
Photography, Audio-visual recording, and transmission/distribution of classroom lectures and
discussions is prohibited unless there is expressed written permission. Recorded lectures and class
sessions are authorized solely for the purpose of individual or group study with other UF College of
Pharmacy students enrolled in the same class. Such recordings may not be reproduced, shared, or
uploaded to publicly accessible web environments. Students who do not adhere to this policy will
be considered to be breeching COP copyrights and/or FERPA law.
