EMT Policies (pdf) - UCLA Center for Prehospital Care

The grading policy is as follows:
• 93-100% A
• 86-92% B
• 80-85% C
• 65-79 D (not recommended for certification)
A minimum score of 80% is required to complete the program and be recommended for
certification. A score of 64% or less will be recorded as an “F” (also, not recommended for
certification).
1. Online Block Homework Assignments (10% total grade)
Block Homework Assignments are posted on the Course Manager website. In order to
take the written final, these assignments must be completed with an overall average of
80%. Please refer to your class syllabus for the due dates of these assignments.
2. Online Interactive Modules (20% total grade)
Some essential content is not covered in class and must be completed online via the JB
Course Manager. In order to take the written final, these modules must be completed
with an overall average of 80%. Please refer to your class syllabus for the due dates of
these assignments.
3. Block Exams (40% total grade, based on overall average of exams x 400pts)
A series of six exams will be given on a regularly scheduled basis. They are multiple
choice and vary in length. All students must maintain an overall average of 80% on
these exams. One retest will be allowed for up to three separate block exams. Retakes
are only allowed for exams in which the original score was below an 80%. All exam
retakes must be scheduled at the convenience of the instructor. Students are not allowed
to see their actual exams, once they have been scored. Grades will be posted on the
student website, as soon as possible. Do not call the office for grades.
4. Extra Credit
Extra Credit is offered as an opportunity to raise your course grade. These are optional
assignments but highly recommended. Once the final exam has been passed with a
minimum score of 80%, each assignment completed will add points to total course
score. Complete the “extra credit” assignments in each module of JB Course. A few
modules do not have assignments. One (1) point of extra credit will be awarded to the
extra credit total for each section completed. It is strongly suggested that the extra credit
is completed prior to the block exam of the relevant materials. These must be
completed no later than 30 days following the last day of the class. In addition to
these assignments, other opportunities for extra credit may be announced in class, such as
extracurricular assignments for other CPC program areas (1 point per hour assigned,
maximum of 10 points). Another such opportunity is a Literature Review (max of 10
points). Please see either Jeff Pollakoff (Principal Instructor) or Barry Jensen (Program
Director) regarding these assignments.
