  1. Introduction to Surgical Technology

  2. On matters of style, swim with the current, on matters of principle, stand like a rock. Thomas Jefferson

  3. Class Rules • The “I told you in 110” story (in other words, these rules will apply throughout this program) • We are a family. • Class rules reflect OR rules. • Personal Hygiene (no jewelry in SUR 111 lab/clinical) • TAKE NOTES IN CLASS!!!! All covered material AND material stated in the syllabus are testable. • CCLD – Tad Williams - Otherland

  4. Class Rules • Show Respect – when another person is talking, you are not! • Turn off your cells and place them in the blue bowl (C.R.A.P.E.R.) sitting on the instructors desk. • If a student fails to place their cell phone in the blue bowl and their phone rings, vibrates, buzzes or chirps during class, the student will be excused from class. The student will then receive zero’s for any assignments that are due from that point on. • Please read the Signed Expectations found in this course, 110 and 111 and “sign” your choice ASAP.

  5. Class Rules • Bathroom breaks will be given. • Please stay in class until the class breaks as a whole. It is very disruptive to the class if a student gets up and leaves in mid-lecture. Plus, you’ll most likely miss a test question while you’re gone! • Do not eat or drink in the classroom. • Leave your food/drinks outside the door (this is a Biohazard room). DO NOT LEAVE YOUR DRINK OR FOOD WRAPPERS OUTSIDE THE DOOR AT THE END OF THE DAY. CLEAN UP YOUR OWN MESS.

  6. Class Rules • All homework is due as you walk in the door at the beginning of class, regardless if I collect it that day or not. If you are not in class by the time class begins, you will not be able to turn in your homework or take the test. Therefore you will receive a zero for each missed assignment due that day. • No late homework or test makeup's are allowed.

  7. Class Rules • You will have a test at the beginning of each class. • All tests are cumulative. Most tests will be in a computer lab. You only have 50 minutes to test. • Once the test is graded, • if you have a question about an answer that you feel has been graded incorrectly, email me the reason you think the question has been graded incorrectly. Be sure to send supporting evidence (i.e. test number and question #. Then page 14 says in the ST book says….).

  8. Class Rules • Show up early, not late. The door will be closed at the beginning of whichever SUR class your in that day and will not reopen until the last person completes his/her test. We are preparing you for the punctuality of the O.R. • This means that if you are late to class, you will not only not be able to turn in your homework, you will also miss a test and a receive a zero for both assignments.

  9. Class Rules • If you have a class before this one, just let me know. Other instructors might effect your ability to make it to class on time. • Do not count on being able to park close to our building – Rhododendron. You may have to walk. • Set your clocks to the room clock (which is set to the computer/internet time) before you leave today. • You will not be allowed to come to class, take a test and leave. Any grades entered prior to your leaving (before the completion of class) will revert to zero.

  10. Class Rules • Check your email, text and Moodle often. I communicate quite a bit via the computer/cell. • I will send out information via your student email account. • This is the only account we can use for electronic communication via the computer. • You will held responsible for all information passed to you via email. • If you find it easier to check one email account (an account other than the school one), forward all student email into the email account you use most often. • HOWEVER - All email to instructors must be sent via your student account.

  11. Class Rules • All work is to be completed in BLACK ink; graded in RED ink (there will be times we will grade tests/homework in class). • Obtain 1 or 2 large notebooks for a portfolio. • You will need to keep all returned paperwork (for the entire year) and be able to keep it separate.

  12. Pet Peeves and Student Success • Asking homework or test related questions 33 seconds before the test begins is not acceptable practice. • Use your time wisely, so that I may use mine the same. • No whining – please be willing to accept responsibility for your own actions. • Not responding to texts or emails. • If I send information out to you personally, please respond. • Be a creator of your own success

  13. Class Rules • Always feel free to asks questions. This includes emailing me questions. I will respond as quickly as possible. • Any questions about the class rules?
