Week 6: Activity: iHuman Case 4
Purpose
The iHuman assignments provide students with an opportunity to experience clinical scenarios that are relevant to the lesson content through virtual patient encounters. iHuman is a highly interactive and a dynamic way to enhance your learning.
Activity Learning Outcomes
Through this assignment, the student will demonstrate the ability to:
1. Utilize interactive simulation technology to reinforce assessment and diagnostic reasoning skills in the care of a woman or pediatric patient (CO4).
Due Date
Students need to complete the first attempt of the assigned iHuman case by Wednesday 11:59pm MT. The student has the option of 1 additional attempt to improve their score by Sunday 11:59pm MT at the end of week 6. There will only be a total of 2 attempts max per each iHuman assigned case.
Students are expected to submit assignments by the time they are due. Assignments submitted after the due date and time will receive a deduction of 10% of the total points possible for that assignment for each day the assignment is late. Assignments will be accepted, with penalty as described, up to a maximum of three days late, after which point a zero will be recorded for the assignment.
In the event of an emergency that prevents timely submission of an assignment, students may petition their instructor for a waiver of the late submission grade reduction. The instructor will review the student's rationale for the request and make a determination based on the merits of the student's appeal. Consideration of the student's total course performance to date will be a contributing factor in the determination. Students should continue to attend class, actively participate, and complete other assignments while the appeal is pending.
Total Points Possible: 75 Points
