Points are awarded as thefollowing:Attendance*Assignments15 points per class attended.100 points per assignment.Exam 100 points Total of 100 points possibleTotal of 210 points possibleTotal of 300 points possible**Total possible points 610 points** In the event that additional assignments are made, the point total will be adjusted accordingly. Grades willstill be averaged as described.Grades will be averaged according to scale:100%-90% A89%80% B79%-70% C69%-60% D60%or below F** In the event that additional assignmentsare made, the point total will be adjustedaccordingly. Grades will still be averaged asdescribed.NOTES: Assignments that are turned in late will be subject to a 10% deduction per day from the total points allotted.Late assignments will not be accepted more than one week past their due date.Page 3
There will be one exam, which will be a comprehensive final. Questions will come from reading assignmentsand lecture material, so pay attention and TAKE NOTES when topics are presented! One week after guestlectures, you will receive a worksheet to help you when studying for the final. A makeup final will not beavailable unless permission is granted by a faculty panel.INSTRUCTIONAL METHODOLOGYThis course is taught in the classroom in a lecture format along with demonstrations by the instructor. Thelecture also includes guest speakers.INSTRUCTORSNameOfficeOffice PhoneOfficeHoursE-mailJavier PalaciosEVC 8205(512) 223-5806PostedJpalaci1@austincc.eduPedro BarreraMichele RichardsSusan DiamondKathy CookBarbara PowellKathy BaumbachCarol HamiltonEVC 8203.4EVC 8203.1EVC 8281RRC 3117.04EVC 8203.2RRC 3117.07EVC 8203.3(512) 223-5801(512) 223-5803(512) 223-5807(512) 223-0238(512) 223-5802(512) 223-0243(512) duAttendance will be taken at the start of each class, since attending the class earns points for the final grade.One point will be deducted for each minute a student is tardy.In addition, one point for each minute a student leaves early will be deducted from the grade total.Required: Page 4TEXTBOOKSBerry and Kohn’s Operating Room Technique (12th ed.)

SCANSIn 1994, the U.S. Department of Labor established the Secretary's Commission on Achieving Necessary Skills(SCANS) to examine the demands of the workplace and whether our nation's students are capable of meetingthose demands. The Commission determined that today's jobs generally require competencies in thefollowing n:Systems:Technology:Identifies, organizes, plans, and allocates resourcesAcquires and uses informationAcquires and uses informationUnderstands complex interrelationshipsWorks with a variety of technologiesThe Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board requires that all degree plans in institutions of highereducation incorporate these competencies and identify to the student how these competencies are achievedin course objectives.This course, Surgical Procedures I, incorporates the SCANS competencies in the following ways:COMPETENCEEXAMPLE OF LEVELInterpersonalShares experiences and knowledge with classmates, works as amember of a team for any assigned sic SkillsThinking SkillsPersonal QualitiesPage 10Identifies equipment needed for a given procedure.

Asserts self andnetworks with classmates and guest speakers to obtain information oncurrent topics.
ACC COURSE POLICIESATTENDANCE/CLASS PARTICIPATIONRegular and punctual class and laboratory attendance is expected of all students. If attendance or compliancewith other course policies is unsatisfactory, the instructor may withdraw students from the class.WITHDRAWAL POLICYIt is the responsibility of each student to ensure that his or her name is removed from the roll should he orshe decide to withdraw from the class. The instructor does, however, reserve the right to drop a studentshould he or she feel it is necessary. If a student decides to withdraw, he or she should also verify that thewithdrawal is submitted before the Final Withdrawal Date. The student is also strongly encouraged to retaintheir copy of the withdrawal form for their records.Students who enroll for the third or subsequent time in a course taken since Fall, 2002, may be charged ahigher tuition rate, for that course.State law permits students to withdraw from no more than six courses during their entire undergraduatecareer at Texas public colleges or universities. With certain exceptions, all course withdrawals automaticallycount towards this limit. Details regarding this policy can be found in the ACC college catalog.INCOMPLETESAn instructor may award a grade of “I” (Incomplete) if a student was unable to complete all of the objectivesfor the passing grade in a course. An incomplete grade cannot be carried beyond the established date in thefollowing semester. The completion date is determined by the instructor but may not be later than the finaldeadline for withdrawal in the subsequent semester.STATEMENT ON SCHOLASTIC DISHONESTYA student attending ACC assumes responsibility for conduct compatible with the mission of the college as aneducational institution. Students have the responsibility to submit coursework that is the result of their ownthought, research, or self-expression. Students must follow all instructions given by faculty or designatedcollege representatives when taking examinations, placement assessments, tests, quizzes, and evaluations.Actions constituting scholastic dishonesty include, but are not limited to, plagiarism, cheating, fabrication,collusion, and falsifying documents. Penalties for scholastic dishonesty will depend upon the nature of theviolation and may range from lowering a grade on one assignment to an “F” in the course and/or expulsionfrom the college. See the Student Standards of Conduct and Disciplinary Process and other policies T RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIESStudents at the college have the rights accorded by the U.S. Constitution to freedom of speech, peacefulassembly, petition, and association. These rights carry with them the responsibility to accord the same rightsto others in the college community and not to interfere with or disrupt the educational process. Opportunityfor students to examine and question pertinent data and assumptions of a given discipline, guided by theevidence of scholarly research, is appropriate in a learning environment. This concept is accompanied by anequally demanding concept of responsibility on the part of the student. As willing partners in learning,students must comply with college rules and procedures.Page 11
STATEMENT ON STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIESEach ACC campus offers support services for students with documented disabilities. Students with disabilitieswho need classroom, academic or other accommodations must request them through the Office for Studentswith Disabilities (OSD). Students are encouraged to request accommodations when they register for coursesor at least three weeks before the start of the semester, otherwise the provision of accommodations may bedelayed.Students who have received approval for accommodations from OSD for this course must provide theinstructor with the ‘Notice of Approved Accommodations’ from OSD before accommodations will be provided.Arrangements for academic accommodations can only be made after the instructor receives the ‘Notice ofApproved Accommodations’ from the student.Students with approved accommodations are encouraged to submit the ‘Notice of ApprovedAccommodations’ to the instructor at the beginning of the semester because a reasonable amount of time maybe needed to prepare and arrange for the accommodations.Additional information about the Office for Students with Disabilities is available athttp://www.austincc.edu/support/osd/SAFETY STATEMENTAustin Community College is committed to providing a safe and healthy environment for study and work.
