It is recommended by the facilitator that students read the appropriate chapters corresponding to the topic of discussion for reinforcement and clarity of understanding. It is highly suggested that students utilize as many references as possible to enhance their learning and understanding. The minimum amount of material is presented for you to be successful at the ARDMS so you need to understand what is presented. Some areas will require memorization while other areas require you to think out the process an apply the knowledge of what you have. Course Requirements of Participants: Students must be aware, to experience successful outcomes, that this course requires serious commitment and time management skills to complete required readings, research, developing an understanding for pathological change of specific and non-specific nature, and trauma as it relates to sonographic imaging and interpretation of the pelvis and gravid uterus. Participation is a graded requirement. All quizzes and tests must be completed by the due date. You can access them anytime you are ready to take them. Quizzes may be taken once, but will not be timed. Tests will be timed and only accessible once. It is the student’s responsibility to have a secure internet connection before attempting any test (preferably high speed). Failure to do so may result in a zero score. If you have ANY issue taking an assessment contact me immediately via e-mail. Facilitator responsibility: The facilitator's responsibilities include facilitate learning by providing and explaining the necessary materials for each student to understand the assignments and develop course objectives to a near mastery level. Knowledge gained from this course should aid students in their clinical experiences. Opportunities to utilize the JCC LRC and DMS lab equipment, computers etc. will be made available upon student's request whenever possible. Facilitator Response Expectations: Under normal conditions, student’s can expect a response to questions posed within a 48 hour period or sooner. Students should not expect a response during weekends and holidays. However, the facilitator will make every attempt to access the course frequently. Student Responsibilities: Students are expected to be present, prepared and interact with each session. The facilitator presumes that assignments, including reading, will be completed on time. Such preparation allows the student the best learning opportunities to understand material presented and pose (6 of 14) [1/11/2009 12:25:47
