Accessibility 

Shadow Health’s Digital Clinical Experiences require the use of a computer monitor,

to improve accessibility for all users. However, if you are currently unable to use the 

DCE due to visual or motor impairment, please contact the Shadow Health Learner 

Support team. 

Tina Jones™ presents auditory and visual information representative of a human 

patient. To address auditory accessibility, when Tina Jones speaks, her speech is 

presented as both audio and text displayed at the bottom of the screen, except in 

instances where the textual representation would distinguish physical findings (e.g., 

textual descriptions of breathing sounds). If you require a transcription of these 

instances due to an auditory impairment, please contact the Shadow Health Learner 

Support team at support@shadowhealth.com. 

The normal and abnormal sounds within the concept labs are medically accurate and 

are produced at a frequency lower than what most laptop speakers are capable of 

delivering. To hear these sounds, we strongly recommend that you use a pair of 

external speakers or headphones to hear the bass frequencies.

Integrated Physical Assessment: The integrated physical assessment is the culminating 

assignment for the course and involves completion of a cephalocaudal physical 

assessment at the end of the course. 

The integrated physical assessment is a mandatory assignment and counts as 25% of 

the student’s course grade. 

Students must successfully complete and pass all practice videos to be eligible to have 

an MSN observer/faculty member complete their final integrated physical assessment. 

Students who will have an MSN observer to complete their final integrated physical 

assessment must also record the assessment and submit the video. 

The student will be evaluated based on the integrated physical assessment 

form criteria. 

The student is expected to complete the assessment in 30 minutes. Failure of this 

assignment results in failure of the entire course regardless of the grades for other 

assignments. 

In the event the student misses their scheduled checkoff time with notification of the 

instructor. 

The student will sign up for a time to complete their assessment with course faculty. 

Faculty or MSN prepared observer will complete the required documents and return to 

the student to be submitted within the course in Week 8. 

The student must submit the documents in order to receive a grade. 

Date: 12/03/2026 Time: 0830 

90-100 = A 80-89 = B 75-79 = C 74-60 = D 59 or Below = F

A final course grade of 75% is necessary for the student to pass this course. The final 

course grade is calculated as follows: 

Exam 1 = 20%, Exam 2 = 20%, Lab grade = 15%, Integrated Physical Assessment = 25% 

and Final Exam = 20%. 

Lab grade (15% of final course grade) Includes Required Shadow Health Assignments, 

Lab Worksheets, Assessment videos, Discussion boards, any other in-class, or pre-class 

assignments required by the instructor.

Lab Assessment Videos: Students must submit a video clip demonstrating designated 

systems assessment covered during the assigned week. 

These video assessment assignments are graded per rubric and specified guidelines and 

mandatory for successful completion of the course. 

 Lectures – PowerPoints are available on Blackboard. 

Point deductions: Late points, up to ten points per day, will be deducted if any graded 

assignment is submitted after the date and time due – No Exceptions. 

Exams: All exams must be taken. Students will be allocated a specific amount of time 

for each exam. Students unable to take a scheduled exam due to an extreme 

emergency must notify the instructor prior to the exam. 

All exams will be proctored and administered online. If an exam is missed, the 

numerical grade attained on the Final exam will be substituted for only one missed unit 

exam. 

Examinations are based on course objectives. Course content from the biological and 

behavioral sciences as well as previous nursing knowledge may be included on 

exams, as appropriate. 

Academic Honesty 

Academic honesty is expected from all students, and dishonesty in any form will not be tolerated. Please 

consult the LSCPA policies (Section IX, subsection A, in the Faculty Handbook) for consequences of 

academic dishonesty. These policies will be strictly enforced. 

Academic dishonesty in any form will not be tolerated. Plagiarism, cheating, and other forms of scholastic 

dishonesty are prohibited and are grounds for disciplinary action according to the LSCPA Student 

Handbook. Anyone who copies more than six consecutive words from a source and does not document 

the source has committed plagiarism. Students guilty of academic misconduct either directly or indirectly 

through participation or assistance, are immediately responsible to the instructor of the class. In addition 

to other possible disciplinary sanctions that may be imposed through the regular LSCPA procedures as a 

result of academic misconduct, the instructor has the authority to assign an “F” or a zero for the exercise 

or examination or to assign an “F” in the course. 

Electronic devices (including but not restricted to cell phones, MP3 players, and laptop computers) shall 

not be used during examinations or upon review of exams unless the Disability Services Coordinator has 

determined that such a device is a reasonable accommodation for a disability. Under any other 

circumstances, the use of an electronic device during an examination shall be considered academic 

dishonesty and will result in appropriate sanctions as outlined in the Course Syllabus, in the Faculty 

Handbook (Section IX-1), and in the Student Handbook (Academic Dishonesty). 

Late Assignments: 

Required assignments and specific dates for work to be turned in must be met by the student. Unless 

turned in by the deadline there will be a drop in grade for lateness. Previous arrangements between the 

student and instructor for late work may allow for a reduced late-point penalty.  

Many of the courses also include assignments that are designated as Mandatory Pass/Fail course 

assignments.  

If these assignments are not completed satisfactorily the student may fail not only the assignment but also 

the course. 

Late submission of the Mandatory Pass/Fail assignments will result in late point penalties. 

Point deductions: Late points, up to ten points per day, may be deducted if any graded assignment is 

submitted after the date and time due. 

Any Pass/Fail assignment submitted after 48 hours will be assigned a grade of five points for the 

assignment. Previous arrangements between the student and faculty for late work may allow for a reduced 

late point penalty, but all late submissions will have a late penalty deducted.  

Grammar and sentence structure, spelling, legibility, neatness, and following directions as to organization 

are related to acceptable quality in both written and oral assignments.  

Written work is expected to follow the most current American Psychological Association (APA) 

format.  

Revised 2026

• The course faculty will explain course requirements which will include required

assignments and specific dates for work to be turned in that must be met by the student.

• Unless an assignment is turned in by the deadline there will be a late penalty deducted

for lateness without exception.

• A late penalty of ten points will be deducted if turned in within the first 24 hours after the

assignment due date.

• If the assignment is turned in between 24 and 48 hours late a 25-point penalty will be

deducted.

• After 48 hours, a zero will be assigned for the assignment. Previous arrangements

between the student and instructor for late work may allow for a reduced late-point penalty.

• There are also assignments that if not submitted by the assigned due date a grade of zero

will be assigned. Refer to the individual course syllabus or the assignment for any variations

from the late penalty deductions.

Many of the courses also include assignments that are designated as Mandatory Pass/Fail course 

assignments.  

If these assignments are not completed satisfactorily the student may fail not only the assignment 

but also the course. 

Late submission of the Mandatory Pass/Fail assignments will result in late point penalties. 

In most courses, the late penalty will be a deduction of ten points if turned in within the first 24 

hours after the assignment's due date.  

If the assignment is turned in between 24 and 48 hours late a 25-point penalty will be deducted. 

Any Pass/Fail assignment submitted after 48 hours will be assigned a grade of five points for the 

assignment. Previous arrangements between the student and faculty for late work may allow for a 

reduced late point penalty, but all late submissions will have a late penalty deducted.
