Course Policies

Attendance 

Regular classroom attendance is expected and essential to successful academic achievement in the Department of Occupational Therapy. Students are responsible to make up work missed due to class absence or illness; points will be deducted for late work.

Punctuality 

Arrival on time (logging in) to class sessions is required. If a late arrival is necessary, the student is expected to give timely notice to the instructors, either prior to the class or shortly thereafter.

Professional Behaviors 

Part of professional development is the ability to work collaboratively on group projects with peers. A range of professional behaviors contribute to working well with others including, but not limited to, negotiating equal division of responsibility; following through on tasks; being on time; working collaboratively (not insisting on getting your own way all of the time); and being respectful of others (not speaking out of turn, not trying to overwhelm others opinions, not monopolizing the conversation, not being sarcastic or derisive of others).

Professional relationships are fostered by respectful direct feedback that focuses on the problem behavior and is not condemning of the individual. It is each student’s responsibility to establish and maintain an adequate working relationship with his or her peers.  No one else can do this for you, and it is no one’s responsibility but yours.

Periodically (as determined by the instructors) students may be asked to rate their own and their peer’s performance during group process. Student feedback regarding poor professional behaviors may lead to instructor intervention and may be used by instructors (following exploration of issues with the student) in the assignment of the student’s grade for the course.

In addition, the instructors reserve the right to grade group assignments individually (to assign students in the same group different grades) in the context of concern regarding professional behaviors.

Assignments

All written assignments must be typed, be double-spaced, and include a cover page unless otherwise stated. Use 12-point Times New Roman font. Points will be deducted for late submission of assignments (10% per day). Assignments late more than five days will not be accepted; no points will be assigned for assignments submitted after five days

Writing Clearly and Concisely

PICO Question and Literature Search – Develop a PICO question (population, intervention, control, and outcomes and conduct an internet search using online article indexes and databases available through the SMU library website (e.g., Medline, OT seeker, Psychinfo, Eric, etc.) to locate a research articles relevant to the PICO question, published in a professional, academic, and peer-reviewed journal relevant to occupational therapy (not a systematic review or meta-analysis as these are too difficult at this time). Students are to submit the computer search that was conducted, and the first three articles from that search in APA style. Further instructions provided on Canvas.

Designing Visual Presentations – This assignment will be done in groups during a special class session on Monday, September 16, 2021 1:00 - 3:50. If a student is absent from class on the day this assignment is completed and due, he or she must submit the assignment individually. A "complete" grade must be achieved to pass this course.

Survey Data Analysis - On the week on 09.29.2021 students will complete a survey and on the week of 10.06.2021 students will use SPSS top analyze the data in class.

Synopsis – Select one of six possible research articles to review. After completing a research Article Review Form (ARF), each student is to write a synopsis of the chosen research article and include a reference citation in accordance with the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association 7th Edition.  The synopsis is to be no more than two double-spaced pages in length, plus a title page and reference page. The synopsis is to be written so that the reader can make an assessment of the scientific merit of the article without looking at the original article (the reader must be able to understand it) and it must include enough detail to adequately represent the content.  Do not editorialize: it is not intended that you comment on the content; summarize the article as accurately as possible. A grading rubric is provided on Canvas. The assignment deliverables include: 1) synopsis, and 2) research Article Review Form (ARF). Further detailed instructions are provided on Canvas.

Literature Review Paper/Presentation – Groups of four/five students will together compose a literature review [minimum 8 research articles (or 2 per person)] regarding an evidence-based controversy in occupational therapy or rehabilitation. This assignment is intended to further students’ computer literature search skills and to assist students in the process of critically analyzing the evidence regarding unsettled areas of occupational therapy practice. Each group of students will conduct an internet search using online article indexes and databases available through the SMU Library website (e.g., Medline, OT seeker, Psychinfo, Eric, etc.) to locate research articles published in professional, peer-reviewed academic journals relevant to occupational therapy. The literature review must include a minimum of two research papers (reporting an interventional research study) per person relevant to the evidence-based controversy and draw conclusions from them. The review (including reference citations) is to be formatted per the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (7th edition). Each article will be reviewed; however, concluding paragraphs should synthesize all of the studies reviewed and provide a “clinical bottom line”. Presentations will include use of PowerPoint. The paper and presentation should be submitted to Canvas.

The goal of these activities is to give students practice in critically examining research articles; therefore, the reuse of articles from one assignment to another or between classes defeats the purpose of this class and is not permitted. Further detailed instructions are provided on Canvas.

On-line Article Quizzes – Eight online article quizzes are to be completed online and will be available one week prior to the due date. Content for each quiz will be as follows (see Required Readings for a full reference).  This is an open book quiz you may have the article with you when you complete this test.

Samuel Merritt University Policies

Withdrawal Policy

After the end of the drop/add period, a student may withdraw from a course without academic penalty until the midpoint of the course, or when no more than 50 percent of the course has been completed, whichever occurs last. A student may withdraw from a single course only once. The course remains on the student transcript with a grade of “W”. Petitions to withdraw from a course beyond this period would be approved only for serious and compelling reasons such as serious accident or illness. The approval of the instructor and the department chair are required on the petition form, which the student files in the Registrar’s Office. If the petition is granted, the course remains on the student record with a “W” grade. If the petition is denied or the student fails to complete course requirements without formally withdrawing, the grade will be determined by the instructor based on the grading policy and requirements as noted in the course syllabus (See Withdrawal from the University and Refund Policies).

Academic Integrity

Samuel Merritt University affirms the belief that integrity, truth, respect, and honesty are the foundations for our interactions as an academic institution. All students are expected to abide by the policies of academic honesty and integrity as outlined in the catalogue/student handbook. Please note that the Code of Ethics is published in the Samuel Merritt University Catalog:https://www.samuelmerritt.edu/student-catalog-and-handbook. Since dishonesty in any form harms the individual, other people, the community, and the University, policies on academic integrity will be strictly enforced. We expect you to be familiar with the guidelines for behavior, to follow them, and to know the consequences of violating these standards of ethical behavior.

As noted in the Student Handbook/University Catalog, faculty reserve the right to deal with individual instances of academic dishonesty by imposing sanctions such as failure on a paper or project or even failure of the course.

Disability Resource Center

Samuel Merritt University recognizes disability as an aspect of diversity that is integral to society and to the campus community. It is the policy and practice of Samuel Merritt University to create inclusive learning environments. The Disability Resource Center (DRC) works with students and faculty to create accommodations when necessary to provide equal access to University services and facilities. If you would like to discuss disability-related needs, please contact the DRC for a confidential appointment at drc@samuelmerritt.edu. Accommodations cannot be applied retroactively, so please reach out early.

Title IX Statement

Title IX makes it clear that violence and harassment based on sex and gender is a Civil Rights offense subject to the same kinds of accountability and the same kinds of support applied to offenses against other protected categories such as race, national origin, etc. If you or someone you know has been harassed or assaulted, you can find the appropriate resources here: https://www.samuelmerritt.edu/discover/student-experience/safety-and-security/sexual-assault-and-violence-prevention-resources.

 Recording of Learning Activities

Audio recordings of class lectures are permitted in this course, with advance notice to the instructor. Recordings should not be posted online or otherwise disseminated outside the class. Recording small group or one-on-one conversations should not take place without the agreement of all parties being recorded. Recordings should be destroyed after the course is completed.

 Course Evaluation

Students have the opportunity to provide feedback to the instructor during the course. All students are expected to fill out an anonymous course evaluation at the end of each course term.
