NUTRITIONHUN201Fall Semester 2020Professional Nursing ProgramChanges to the entries in this syllabus may be required with the understanding that the student will be fully informed of these changes. The student is accountable and responsible for knowledge from concurrent and/or previous courses in the curriculum. This course will build on those course materials.This syllabus is intended as a guide and is subject to change as needed. 2COURSE INFORMATIONCourse Number and Name: HUN201 NutritionClass Credits: 4.5 Quarter CreditsClass Hours: 45 Clock HoursPre–Requisites: NoneCourse DescriptionThis course is designed to provide students with information relative to the nutritional needs throughout the lifespan and diet therapy for various disease states. The course reviews how the energy producing nutrients (vitamins, minerals and water) are metabolized and utilized by the body and focuses on the expanded role of nutrition in health promotion, disease prevention and as part of the therapeutic regime in the treatment of disease processes. Major concepts in this course include guidelines for nutrition, the food pyramid, nutrition throughout the lifespan, and diet therapy. Appropriate assessments relative to nutrition will be determined utilizing Roy’s Adaptation Model. Students in this course will also be presented with case studies and teaching plans focusing on the scientifically based nutritional needs of various client scenarios including pregnancy, obesity, diabetes, gout, celiac disease, cardiovascular and kidney disease.Course Objectives• Complete a nutritional assessment and develop a plan to improve dietary intake with attention to cultural aspects of the diet.• Identify stimuli which influence nutrition.• Develop teaching plans to improve overall nutritional status for select patient care scenarios.• Describe evidence-based risk factors and nursing management of obesity.• List factors which may contribute to poor nutrition in the elderly.• Describe community resources to improve the nutritional status of the poor and elderly.Methods of EvaluationStudent work is evaluated according to the following:1ActivityPercentage of Course GradePhysical Learning EnvironmentPercentage of Course GradeDistance Education Environment2Participation in Live-Interactions0%2%Quizzes10%0%Recorded Lectures0%2%Educational Pamphlet Project20%10%Nutritional Analysis Project10%5%Mid-Term Exam25%38%Final Exam35%43%Other AssignmentsPass/FailPass/Fail1 If the College transitions from the Distance Education Environment back to the Physical Learning Environment, the percentage of weights will be adjusted pro rata based on the remaining weeks in the program.2 The Distance Education Method of Evaluation will apply to this course until the delivery method for all course activities (lectures, workshops, exams, etc.) is transitioned to in-person instruction. Limited in person instruction will not be considered physical learning environment for purposes of the Method of Evaluation.This syllabus is intended as a guide and is subject to change as needed. 3Assignments and assessments not specifically listed in the Methods of Evaluation chart above are required elements of the course, but are not calculated in the overall course grade. Students are required to receive a P (passing grade) on all assignments, papers, and other projects given in the course, including those not counted toward the overall course grade. To obtain a P (passing grade), each assignment must be completed satisfactorily.3Failure to satisfactorily complete assignments prior to the last day of class (or at the discretion of the instructor prior to the start of the next semester) may result in course failure. In such case, the student will receive a grade equal to the lesser of 70% or their final course grade calculated per the “Method of Evaluation” set forth above.Method of InstructionDue to COVID-19, this course may be conducted on-campus (physically on ground) and/or through Distance Education. The method of delivery can change throughout this course. Students may be required to participate in both on-campus and Distance Education activities. Activities include lectures, workshops, exams, etc., which may be conducted in-person or virtually or a combination. Students are responsible for ensuring that their personal schedules allow for the different method of instructions and changes.Physical (on-campus) InstructionMethods of instruction employed in the course include multimedia class presentations, discussion, web-based instruction, case scenarios, handouts, computerized learning modules, DVDs, and collaborative learning. Physical instruction also includes workshops, and other activities that occur on the campus or at an affiliated site.Distance Education InstructionThree main modalities will be used for Distance Education instruction: (i) live-interactions (the “Live-Interactions”, (ii) recorded lectures (the “Recorded Lectures”) and (iii) other assignments (the “Other Virtual Exercises”). The Other Virtual Exercises may consist of, but are not limited to, the following:• Reading and critiquing articles and papers,• Participating in discussion postings (via Canvas, email, chat, etc.),• Completing case studies,• Constructing concept maps,• Answering practice questions, and• Conducting internet or other research.Didactic instruction is accomplished in the Distance Education environment through Live-Interactions and Recorded Lectures. The following provides a brief overview of the components and benefits of Live-Interactions and Recorded Lectures.Live-Interactions provide for real-time interactions in the Distance Education learning process. With Live-Interactions, instructors and students learn synchronously core course concepts through: (i) audio and video sharing, (ii) screen and content sharing (documents, websites, etc.), (iii) live classroom chats, (iv) break-out rooms, (v) polling, (vi) white boarding, and (vii)3 Satisfactorily completing an assignment means completing the assignment at a minimum level of 75% or higher.This syllabus is intended as a guide and is subject to change as needed. 4annotations. Moreover, through Live-Interactions and the communication, students and faculty will build their Jersey College community.Recorded Lectures allow instructors to present traditional classroom-based lectures in an asynchronous mode. The Recorded Lectures involve the production of an audio and visual instructional recording incorporating core course concepts. The Recorded Lectures incorporate a variety of instructional tools, including, but not limited to, PowerPoints, diagrams, concept maps, videos, web-links/sites, audios, documentations, etc. Recorded Lectures permit students to learn at different paces, giving them the flexibility and control to view a lecture at their own pace and in their own time. Finally, this mode of instruction permits students to repeat the lecture as many times as needed.ADA StatementJersey College is committed to responding to the needs of students with disabilities as outlined in both the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. To request reasonable accommodations for a disability, please complete a Request for Reasonable Accommodations form (available from the Administration Office) and submit to the Campus Director.Compliance with Federal Credit Hour DefinitionThis course is in full compliance with the federal definition of a 4.5 quarter credit hour course. For each one hour of classroom instruction (defined as 50 minutes of guided instruction within the classroom), there are a minimum of two (2) hours of out-of-class student academic activities each week.4 This course is completed over ten weeks. Therefore, in this course students will be in class 4.5 hours each week and be expected to complete at a minimum 9.0 hours of out-of-class student academic activities each week. Students are advised to review their term course load and determine whether they can successfully meet the contact hours and out-of-class student work and assignments. Effective time management and study techniques are required for this course.To document compliance with the federal definition for a credit hour, the out-of-class student academic work in this course will be evaluated, graded and weighted appropriately in the determination of a student’s final grade in the course and for purposes of ensuring that the intended learning outcomes are achieved. Such evaluation, grading and weighting may involve quizzes (announced and unannounced), term papers, participation in classroom discussions, care plans, examinations, collection of homework assignments, and other similar assignments which document completion of the out-of-class student academic work.Reading, writing, note-taking and homework assignments as described in this syllabus are the primary out-of-classroom academic activities in this course. Please refer to the course objectives and intended learning outcomes outlined in each chapter of the textbook prior to completing all assignments. Students are expected to complete each assigned reading assignment prior to class each day, rewrite their notes after each lecture and study every day. The following provides guidelines5 for completing each assignment:4 Out of class student academic activities include, but are not limited to reading, writing, studying, research, and completing homework assignments.5 This chart contains minimum guidelines for determining federal financial aid credits. Completing such guidelines does not equate to or ensure academic success. Academic success depends on, among other things, the quality of the time and commitment made.This syllabus is intended as a guide and is subject to change as needed. 5Assignments (as applicable)Hours Expected to Be CompletedReading0.5 – 3 hours per chapterRewriting Notes1 – 2 hour per lectureReviewing Notes and Texts0.5 hours per weekPreparing for Quizzes1 hour per lecturePreparing for Exams4 – 6 hours in week prior to each examPreparing for Papers/Presentations4 – 8 hours in week prior to each paper/presentationPrepU/NCLEX Prep2 – 6 hours per weekStudent Performance ExpectationsStudents are expected to come to each class prepared with the assigned readings and other written work completed and ready to make a valuable contribution to class learning.

The following specific academic and conduct policies apply to this course.Grade DeterminationThe instructor for this course has the sole authority and responsibility to evaluate a student’s performance in the class. In the absence of fraud, bad faith, or mistake, the instructor’s grades are final. Any student who questions or raises a complaint about a grade or the grading procedure normally should first contact the instructor. If that does not provide a satisfactory resolution, the student may contact the Campus Director. Grades may NOT be appealed through the grievance process in the absence of fraud, bad faith, or a mistake.Attendance and Tardiness PolicyGeneral Attendance and Tardiness PolicyStudents are expected to attend all scheduled classes. Any lack of attendance which leads a faculty member to judge that unsatisfactory progress is being made may result in the student being administratively withdrawn from the course and require the course to be repeated.Students who are unable to attend a class must notify their instructor or administration prior to the start of the class and only in emergency situations after the scheduled start of the class. Failure to timely notify an instructor of an absence may be considered unprofessional conduct and may result in administrative withdrawal from the course and/or course failure (i.e. a course grade equal to the lesser of 70% or final course grade calculated per the “Method of Evaluation” set forth above).Distance Education Participation PolicyThe United States Department of Education and our accrediting bodies require substantive communication and participation on a regular basis for Distance Education courses. Therefore, students must actively participate in all portions of this course occurring through Distance Education. Lack of active participation may result in the student being administratively withdrawn from the course and require the course to be repeated7. Active participation involves:• Participating in the Live-Interactions,• Viewing the Recorded Lectures and verifying the participation through completion of the lecture code quizzes (described in detail below), and• Completing the Other Virtual Exercises.6 All policies are subject to review by and/or appeal to the Campus Director.7 Such an administrative withdrawal may be counted as a course attempt and the student is subject to withdrawal from the program if at the time the student had an estimated course grade below 70%. The course attempt and withdrawal from the program is at the sole discretion of Jersey College.This syllabus is intended as a guide and is subject to change as needed. 7Live-InteractionsStudents must participate in Live-Interactions. Participation in Live-Interactions represent 5% of the overall grade for this course. Participation in Live-Interactions is accomplished by attending and engaging in the scheduled Zoom session. Participation is verified through a Live-Interaction code that is disseminated during the session by the instructor. Students are responsible for submitting the Live-Interaction code through the Canvas quiz. Code words are specific to each Live-Interaction and must be entered into the appropriate week. By entering the “code words” into the Canvas quizzing system students are attesting to their personal participation in the Live-Interaction session. Obtaining “code words” through any method other than personal participation of the Live-Interaction session is academic dishonesty and is subject to discipline, including, but not limited to, termination of enrollment with the College. Students must submit the Live-Interaction code within 48 hours of the scheduled Live-Interaction. Late submissions will not be accepted and will result in the students receiving 0 points for the Live-Interaction.Live-Interactions are graded as follows: Students are awarded 10 points for each Live-Interaction session they participated in (verification of participation is accomplished through the code word system described above; each verified Live-Interaction hereafter called a “Verified Session”). The points for each Verified Session are summed and divided by the total number of points for all scheduled Live-Interactions to obtain the grade for Live-Interactions. For example, a student participates in 9 out of 10 Live-Interactions; the students final course grade for Live-Interactions is 90% — representing 90 points (9 Verified Sessions * 10 Points) divided by 100 total points (10 Scheduled Live-Interactions * 10 Points).To promote engagement throughout the Live-Interactions, students must have their webcam on at all times. In emergency situations that require students to turn off their webcam, such students should send a private message to their faculty member, and turn off their audio and video.Throughout all Live-Interactions students must adhere to the Live Interaction Etiquette Guidelines in the Attachment to this syllabus.This syllabus is intended as a guide and is subject to change as needed. 8ExamsGeneral Exam InformationExams will be administered during scheduled times (see course calendar). The course includes a cumulative mid-term and final exam and two additional exams. Exams are timed and depending on the number of questions, between 1 and 2 ½ hours. Exams have between 50 – 100 multiple choice questions. Examinations may cover information from class, the course textbook(s), or ancillary readings and assignments. Grades may be obtained through scheduled appointments with the faculty.Exam Testing SoftwareAll exams utilize the ExamSoft platform with Examplify software. To minimize potential compatibility issues, all exams must be taken on the Jersey College approved personal computer. Examplify requires Internet access at the time of downloading and uploading of the exam. Questions and answers on the exams are randomized and backwards test navigation is disabled (i.e., students cannot go back after answering a question). Additional information regarding Examplify is available in the Secure Assessment Policy Manual. Use the following link to gainaccess to Examplify: https://www.jerseycollege.edu/files/2915/8464/9498/Examplify_Login.mp4.Exam Testing ProceduresThe Secure Assessment Policy Manual contains the policies and procedures related to exams. Students must adhere to all of the policies and procedures in the Secure Assessment Policy Manual. Violations of the exam testing policies and procedures may result in a 0 on the exam and/or other disciplinary action (including dismissal from the program). The Secure Assessment Policy Manual is available at www.jerseycollege.edu/policies. The following provides supplemental exam testing policies.Start and End of Exams: The master exam calendar sets forth the dates and times (start and end) for each exam in this course.Downloading.8 Exams are available for download 24 hours prior to the start of the exam.9 Students can access the download by logging into Examplify with their username and password. Students should download the exam at least two hours prior to the scheduled exam start time.10 Students that attempt to download the exam with less than two hours are warned that they are solely responsible for any technical difficulties and inability to test or lapsed testing time. Students who fail to download the exam by the scheduled start time will forfeit the exam and be subject to the make-up policy (including the penalty) described below.8 The downloading process requires Internet Access. Students are solely responsible for ensuring proper Internet Access and for downloading the exams by the download deadline.9 Students should receive an email (sent to the student’s Jersey College email address) approximately one to seven-days before the scheduled exam date with the exam information such as name of the exam, the student’s username, account password, start time of exam, end time of exam, and upload time of exam). However, in all cases, students are responsible for downloading/uploading exams based on scheduled start and end times for exams and the 24-hour download time period and 15-minute/4-hour (as applicable) upload time period for exams.10 For example, if the exam scheduled for Tuesday at 3:00 p.m., the exam is available to download from Monday at 3:00 p.m. to Tuesday at 3:00 p.m. Students are expected to download the exam by 1:00 p.m. on Tuesday.This syllabus is intended as a guide and is subject to change as needed. 9Uploading.11 Exams are required to be finished and uploaded by the scheduled upload time. Students who fail to finish the exam prior to the scheduled upload time will forfeit the exam and be subject to the make-up policy (including the penalty) described below. In addition, students who fail to upload the exam by the scheduled upload time will forfeit the exam and be subject to the make-up policy (including the penalty) described below. The upload time for off-campus exams is 15-minutes past the scheduled end time for the exam. The upload time for on-campus exams is 4-hours past the scheduled end time for the exam. Students who begin their exam later than the scheduled time start time may see a timer on the exam that suggests that they have time remaining, but the deadline for finishing the exam and uploading the exam remains as described above.Exam Passcodes for External Exams.12 Immediately prior to the scheduled start time for each exam, students will receive a Canvas notification in their Canvas Inbox with the passcode for the exam. Students are responsible for retrieving the passcode for the exam from Canvas. The passcode will NOT be sent outside of Canvas. Upon obtaining the passcode, students should immediately start their exam to avoid loss of testing time.Time and Responsibilities. Time is measured based on ExamSoft’s server time NOT the local time on students’ computers. Students are solely responsible for (i) starting the exam at the scheduled start time, (ii) finishing the exam on or before the exam end time, and (iii) uploading the exam on or before the end-of-the upload deadline based on ExamSoft time (not their local computer).Examples of Exam Forfeiture. The following provides a few examples of exam testing requirements to assist students with avoiding loss of time or forfeiture of an exam. This hypothetical example assumes that:− The exam is scheduled to start on January 3 at 3:00 p.m. and end at 4:00 p.m.− The exam must be uploaded at 4:15 p.m.− An email with the exam information is sent on January 2 to students’ Jersey College email address− The passcode for the exam is sent through the Canvas email system on January 3 at 2:55 p.m.Example 1: Student attempts to download exam on January 3 at 3:01 p.m. The student will be unable to download the exam and will forfeit the exam.Example 2: Student downloads the exam on January 2, but does not retrieve passcode for the exam from their Canvas account until 3:20 p.m. Student will only have 40 minutes to take the exam not 60 minutes. The exam closes at 4:00 p.m. Student finishes exam at 4:15 p.m. and attempts to upload at 4:16 p.m. Student will not be able to upload the exam. The exam will be forfeited due to finishing exam after 4:00 p.m. and uploading after 4:15 p.m. It is important to note that Examplify will allow this student to continue to test until 4:20 p.m., however it tracks when the exam was finished. Exams that are finished after the upload time (e.g., 4:15 p.m. in this example) are11 The uploading process requires Internet Access. Students are solely responsible for ensuring proper Internet Access and for uploading the exams by the upload deadline.12 The passcode process requires Internet Access. Students are solely responsible for ensuring proper Internet Access and for obtaining the passcode prior to the scheduled start of the exam to avoid loss of exam time.This syllabus is intended as a guide and is subject to change as needed. 10invalidated by the college and are forfeited. Students are solely responsible for ensuring that they finish (or stop testing) the exam prior to the upload time and upload the exam.Exam Assistance for External Exams. Students who experience testing issues with an external (off-campus) exam must contact the support line (help desk) of the college IMMEDIATELY at 201-645-1164.13 If a helpline representative is unavailable, students must leave a message and should IMMEDIATELY email using their cellphone the helpdesk@jerseycollege.edu to document the issue. Such email should include the problem and best number to contact the student. Students are advised to document the issue (i.e., take screen shots of the problem using their cell phone). Students who do not contact the support line IMMEDIATELY upon the occurrence of an issue will not be considered for an accommodation for the issue.Resources Allowed for External versus On-Campus Exams. All exams taken on-campus (in-person) are closed book. It is strictly prohibited to use any resources during on-campus exams. To the extent that an exam is scheduled (taken) off-campus (see Master Exam Calendar for exam type (on-camps or external)), the exam will be open book. It is not a recommended strategy to not study and rely on “looking up” answers for open book exams. Such an approach has resulted in students not having enough time to complete the exam and failing the course. Students are also warned that open book is NOT open access.Exam Collaboration. It is STRICTLY prohibited to collaborate with another person, copy an exam, reproduce an assessment or allow another person to take a test (see “Exam Academic Dishonesty below”). Jersey College tracks and analyzes testing data, including MAC addresses, IP addresses, times and dates, etc. Any violation or suspected violation is subject to course failure and termination from the College. This policy applies to both on-campus and externally taken exams.Exam Make-upsThe Master Exam Calendar provides the exact dates of all exams scheduled in the term. Students must take exams on scheduled dates and at scheduled times to avoid a penalty. The only exceptions to this rule are for a hospitalization, religious holiday, or active duty (with prior notification and approval), court appearance, imprisonment, death in immediate family (spouse, father, mother, brother, sister or child), an unavoidable accident and a Serious Illness (as defined below) (each individually and collectively, an “Unavoidable Condition”). These exceptional circumstances must be verified by an appropriate third party, i.e., police report, a funeral notice, hospital bill, subpoena, etc.Students who cannot take their exams at the scheduled time due to an illness are subject to a penalty (see below), unless a waiver is granted. A waiver of the penalty related to illness may be granted by submitting an appeal to the Campus Director (or his/her designee) that contains documentation of a SERIOUS illness (a “Serious Illness”). Documentation of a Serious Illness must be in the form of a letter on the medical provider’s letterhead and based on a physical exam within two (2) days of the missed exam. The letter should include a description of the illness, specific dates or range of dates of the illness, and physical and functional limitations of the illness. Documentation written on prescription pads will not be accepted as proof of a serious illness. The following are examples that are not considered a Serious Illness – common cold, sore13Where situations occur, students must contact the College and must remain available for resolution calls (i.e., remain reachable via phone and computer). Failure to be reachable will result in forfeiture of the right to take the exam.This syllabus is intended as a guide and is subject to change as needed. 11or itchy throat, feeling “under the weather”, coughing, or other illness discomforts that do not significantly and gravely limit a student’s ability to attend class, etc.Students who miss an exam will receive a modified form of “grade amnesty” utilizing the next cumulative exam (where applicable). The following table provides the specific details related to the modified grade-amnesty based on the reason for the missed exam:Missed Exam14Reason15Mid-termFinalUnavoidable ConditionThe student’s grade on the Final will be used for both the Mid-term and Final.Note: If student missed the Mid-term and does not take the final (for any reason) the student will be administratively withdrawn from the course.Student will receive an incomplete in the course and will return to his/her program at the end of the next term to take the Final. Student will have the option to audit all coursework prior to the final.All Other Reasons16The student’s grade on the Final will be used for both the Mid-term and Final with a 10% deduction on the Mid-term.Student will be administratively withdrawn from the course.Exam RemediationExam remediation in the form of re-testing is not offered in this course. If students receive less than a 75% on an exam, they should meet with their instructor prior to taking the next exam to identify areas of weakness, plan strategies for improved learning and test-taking, and grade counseling.Exam Review ProcessOn-Campus (Physical) Instruction. The policies and procedures for reviewing exams conducted as part of on-campus (physical) instruction are set forth in the Secure Assessment Policy Manual17. All reviews must adhere to the policies and procedures in the Secure Assessment Policy Manual. Exam reviews normally take place on the designated dates outlined in the course schedule, however, due to scheduling conflicts and other issues, exam reviews may be held at a different date (e.g., during lunch time, after school or on weekends). After the exam reviews are completed students are no longer allowed to view their exams. If a student is unable to attend an exam review session, the student will forfeit his/her right to view the exam and discuss questions.Distance Education Instruction. Limited exam reviews will be conducted in the Distance Education environment. The limited review will involve the instructor reviewing with students the lowest scoring questions on the exam during live-interaction sessions and provide students with an14 Administrative withdrawals may count as course attempts. Students with an estimated course grade below 70% at the time of the administrative withdrawal are subject to withdrawal from the program. The course attempt and withdrawal from the program is at the sole discretion of Jersey College. Students are responsible for all costs associated with retaking (when granted) a course due to an administrative withdrawal as a result of a missed exam or exams.15 This reason category is a summary of the information above. Students must meet the full definitions above and provide all documentation.16 The 10% penalty is based on the total points on the exam. Example: An exam with 50 questions would result in a penalty of 5 points being deducted (50 x 10%). A student that scored a 45 out of 50 on such an exam would therefore receive a grade of 40 (50 questions – 5 wrong answers – 5 point penalty) out of 50 for the missed exam (or a grade of 80%).17 The Distance Education exam review process will apply to this course until the delivery method for all course activities (lectures, workshops, exams, etc.) is transitioned to in-person instruction. Limited exams given on campus will not be considered in-person instruction.This syllabus is intended as a guide and is subject to change as needed. 12opportunity to raise and discuss topics from the past exam. Students will not be provided their exam to review in the Distance Education environment.Exam Academic HonestyStudents are reminded that all exams (physical environment and Distance Education environment) are subject to our Student Code of Conduct, including the code of conduct related to academic honesty. Students are prohibited from:• Cheating: giving, using or attempting to use or attempting to gain access to unauthorized materials, information, notes, study aids or other devices in any academic exercise including unauthorized communication of information. Examples of cheating include copying from another student’s paper; receiving and/or providing unauthorized assistance during a quiz, test or examination; talking to oneself or others during an exam; sharing information about an exam with classmates in advance of the test; using books, notes or other devices such as calculators and other electronic devices when these are not authorized; acquiring without authorization copies of tests or examinations before the scheduled exercise; acquiring, possessing or utilizing publisher’s test banks and/or copies (electronic or otherwise) of publisher’s and third-party’s testing materials; attempting to gain access or gaining access to materials restricted to faculty members; telling anyone or receiving information about the items or answers seen in or on an examination; reconstructing questions or topics from an examination or attempting to do the same; receiving reconstructed questions or topics about an examination from another student; copying/lending homework, reports, laboratory work, computer programs, files from other students, storing data on programmable calculators, cell phones or other electronic devices and retrieving the data to assist during an exam; leaving the test room with test materials; writing information on cheat sheets, other items or on one’s body.• Facilitating academic dishonesty: intentionally or knowingly helping or attempting to help another to commit an act of academic dishonesty. Examples include allowing another student to copy from one’s paper during an examination or test; distributing test questions or substantive information about the material to be covered on a test before the exam; not adequately safeguarding one’s own answers; collaborating on work with the knowledge that the collaboration will not be reported; reconstructing questions or topics from an examination or attempting to do the same; or taking an examination or test for another student or signing a false name on an exam or paper.Violation of the Student Code of Conduct can result in a zero on the exam, administrative withdrawal from the course, course failure, suspension and/or termination from the program.Testing AccommodationsJersey College is committed to responding to the needs of students with disabilities as outlined in both the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. Students granted testing accommodations must confirm and verify the availability of the accommodation prior to each exam. Issues in obtaining accommodations and accommodation questions should promptly be directed to the Campus Director or Dean for resolution.Quizzes in the Physical EnvironmentNine (9) in class quizzes will be given during the course. Quizzes may be announced or unannounced. The quizzes may cover current or previous material and will contain problems similar to those covered in class or in the text. Each quiz will count 1.11% of the overall courseThis syllabus is intended as a guide and is subject to change as needed. 13grade with all quizzes representing 10% of a student’s overall course grade. The lowest quiz score will be dropped from the final grade for this category. A student who misses a quiz will receive a grade of zero (regardless of whether the absence was excused).Quizzes are individual efforts. While students are encouraged to share information and to study together, collaboration on quizzes is strictly prohibited. All submitted quizzes must be a student’s individual work, and not the work of others. Any violation of this policy will be considered academic misconduct. This misconduct can result in a zero on the quiz, administrative withdrawal from the course, course failure, suspension and/or termination from the program.AssignmentsGeneral Assignment ObligationsStudents are expected to complete all assignments on or before the dates that they are due. Assignments submitted after the due date may not be accepted or may be subject to penalty.18 Any lack of completion of assignments and/or consistent lateness of assignment which leads a faculty member to judge that unsatisfactory progress is being made may result in the student being administratively withdrawn from the course and require the course to be repeated.19 This syllabus, including the course calendar, includes due dates with regards to the completion of assignments.Distance Education AssignmentsThe Distance Education environment utilizes two primary types of assignments: (i) Recorded Lectures and (ii) Other Virtual Exercises. Students are expected to complete all Distance Education assignments. Any lack of completion of the Distance Education assignment which leads a faculty member to judge that unsatisfactory progress is being made may result in the student being administratively withdrawn from the course and require the course to be repeated.Recorded Lectures. Recorded Lectures represent 5% of the overall grade for this course. Recorded Lectures are completed by watching the videos, and answering questions incorporated into the Recorded Lectures. The Recorded Lectures must be watched in their entirety with all questions answered to receive credit for the lecture. Assigned Recorded Lectures must be completed prior to the associated Live-Interaction Class (See Course Calendar)20.Recorded Lectures are graded as follows: Students are awarded 10 points for each Recorded Lecture watched and code submitted (such watched and submitted Recorded Lecture hereafter called a “Completed Lecture”). The points for each Completed Lecture are summed and divided by the total number of points for all Recorded Lectures to obtain the grade for Recorded Lectures. For example, a student completes 9 out of 10 Recorded Lectures; the students final grade for Recorded Lectures is 90% — representing 90 points (9 Completed Lectures * 10 Points) divided by 100 total points (10 Recorded Lectures * 10 Points).18 Acceptance of assignments after due dates is at the sole discretion of the course instructor and Dean.19 Such an administrative withdrawal may be counted as a course attempt and the student is subject to withdrawal from the program if at the time the student had an estimated course grade below 70%. The course attempt and withdrawal from the program is at the sole discretion of Jersey College.20 Recorded Lectures remain open for credit for one week after the Live-Interaction date, except for Recorded Lectures assigned in Week 11, which close at 8:00 a.m. on Monday in Week 12.This syllabus is intended as a guide and is subject to change as needed. 14Other Virtual Exercises. This course may include Other Virtual Exercises that must be completed for course credit. The Other Virtual Exercises are due one week21 after the scheduled Live-Interaction associated with such Other Virtual Exercise. Students must submit (upload) the Other Virtual Exercises through Canvas. No submission of Other Virtual Exercises will be accepted post one (1) week of the live interaction date.22 (i.e., if the Other Virtual Exercise is due on January 1st, students will not be able to submit after January 7th – the upload option will be closed – and the student will receive an Incomplete for the exercise). Failure to satisfactorily complete the Other Virtual Exercises may result in course failure. In such case, the student will receive a grade equal to the lesser of 70% or their final course grade calculated per the “Method of Evaluation” set forth above.Project – Educational Pamphlet ProjectThis course includes an individual project related to nutrition and diet. The project involves the development of an educational pamphlet to teach an individual about a specific type of diet. Students may choose from the diets below, or choose one on their own, upon approval of the instructor:• Atkins Diet• The Zone Diet• Vegetarian Diet• Vegan Diet• South Beach Diet• Mediterranean DietThe pamphlet should include (i) step by step instructions and/or details about the diet selected, (ii) visual aids, (iii) informational websites, community resources, support groups and telephones numbers for a patient to obtain additional information and (iv) other information necessary to educate a patient.

Failure to receive a passing grade prior to the end of the course may result in failure of the course or reduction in overall course grade.2323 When students fail to satisfactorily remediate an assignment by the end of the course such students will receive a grade equal to the lesser of 70% or their final course grade calculated per the “Method of Evaluation” set forth above.This syllabus is intended as a guide and is subject to change as needed. 16CollaborationAssignments are individual efforts (other than group projects). While students are encouraged to share information and to study together, collaboration on assignments (other than group projects), is strictly prohibited. All submitted assignments must be a student’s individual work, and not the work of others. Any violation of this policy will be considered academic misconduct. This misconduct can result in a zero on the assignment, administrative withdrawal from the course, course failure, suspension and/or termination from the program.24Classroom ResponsibilitiesEach chapter of the textbook contains learning objectives to guide the student in meeting the specific course objectives. Students are expected to read the required text and any associated supplemental materials (e.g., journals, articles, etc.) prior to the class session scheduled for each chapter.24 An administrative withdrawal may be counted as a course attempt and the student is subject to withdrawal from the program if at the time the student had an estimated course grade below 70%. The course attempt and withdrawal from the program is at the sole discretion of Jersey CollegeThis syllabus is intended as a guide and is subject to change as needed. 17AttachmentLive Interaction Etiquette GuidelinesLive-Interactions are virtual classrooms. As such, students must conduct themselves as if they are in-person meeting or classroom. The following are Live-interaction Etiquettes that are expected to be followed. Failure to follow these codes of conduct may result in a grade of 0 for Live-Interaction, course withdrawal or other disciplinary action, including, but not limited to withdrawal from the college.• Location. Participation in Live-Interactions is required to occur in a safe and educationally productive environment. Such environments include quiet, indoor, well-lit locations with limited ambient noise and appropriate backgrounds25 (a plain wall, bookcase, appropriate picture, Jersey College virtual background, etc.). Outdoor spaces are highly discouraged and may violate the location policy. In addition, roaming around the learning environment is not acceptable.Students are strictly prohibited from participated in Live-Interaction while driving or working. Students that violate this restriction are subject to immediate termination from the course and the college. Moreover, in the case of Live-Interactions taking place during one’s employment, the college reserves the right to contact the employer and the Board of Nursing with regards to the violation of health and safety protocols and HIPAA violations.• Control of Outside Interferences. COVID-19 has resulted in conflicting educational and outside responsibilities. To allow students to balance these responsibilities the college has limited the number of hours assigned to Live-Interactions and therefore students must prevent outside interferences during Live-Interactions. The following activities are prohibited: kids and pets sitting on laps, keyboards, shoulders, or anywhere else.26• Dress Professionally. Students must dress professionally for the Live-Interaction. Professional attire is business casual or healthcare attire. It is unacceptable to wear pajamas, ripped jeans, sweatpants, t-shirts with logos/sayings and other similar attire.• Active Polite Interactions. Students must actively participate in all discussions. Like in the classroom, take turns speaking, avoid interrupting and do not monopolize conversations. To engage in the class, use the “raise hand” feature to be recognized.• Attend as though Sitting in a Classroom. Students must sit upright and cameras must be centered on the students’ body. Students may not be lying down, walking around or eating during the Live-Interactions.• Cellphones, Texting, and Emailing. The use of cell phones (or regular phones) during Live-Interaction sessions are prohibited (like in the classroom). In emergency situations that require students to take a call, such students should send a private message to the host, and25 Students should avoid places that show personal details of their lives (hanging laundry, empty glasses, eating utensils, bedding and pillows, etc.).26 In extreme, emergency situations that require students to temporarily care of a child, such students should send a private message to the faculty member, and turn off their audio and video, and take care of the child.This syllabus is intended as a guide and is subject to change as needed. 18turn off their audio and video. Texting and emailing during Live-Interactions is also prohibited.• Remember, the Camera is ON. The college requires the at the web camera remain on at all times (unless otherwise approved). Therefore, remember that all actions and inactions are monitored, including such items as closed eyes, talking on a cellphone, texting, emailing, video-gaming, wandering, etc. These exaggerated movements are distracting to the audience and can be disruptive to the speaker. The college mandates that all students be attentive and engaged.• Speak to the Camera and not the Screen. The tendency of individuals utilizing Zoom is to look at the person on the screen they are addressing; however, the right approach is to look directly at the camera when speaking to provide the direct speaking experience of in-classroom.• Mute Microphone when not Speaking. To minimize background noise and feedback, students must utilize the “Mute Microphone” option when not speaking.• Use Zoom’s Chat Function for Educational Purposes Only. Through the chat function in Zoom participants can send a question or statement to everyone or privately. This function must be used for educational purposes only.• Sharing of Documents. Generally, DO NOT select “Share Your Desktop” (“share your desktop” will show every pop-up email and private message on display to the audience). Instead, if you are asked by the instructor to share your screen, open up any relevant documents and share only those during the meeting. Zoom prioritizes the shared item to the bandwidth, as such this can reduce the other video feeds’ quality, so don’t share longer than necessary.
