Documentation:

The Documentation component of the course is worth 15% of your grade. Documentation refers to your

ability to provide accurate and certified details of all training hours you have completed, through weekly,

monthly and end of semester submissions. Please check Appendix A for the grading RUBRIC that will be

used.

Weekly Submissions: The following documentation is due each Tuesday, at 11:00 a.m. (unless otherwise

specified).

1. Clinical Practicum Logbook: After each Clinic Session, you must record all activities in

your logbook. Your Clinical Supervisor (CE) should certify (i.e., stamp and sign) your

logbook immediately after each practicum block, but no later than the Tuesday of each

week. A photocopy of the logbook (pages of the specific week) must be submitted.

2. Weekly Cover Page: You must accurately document your weekly direct hours according

to activity codes and categories.

3. Patient Results/Worksheets: A copy of test results/worksheets for each patient that you

see in the clinic, must be signed by your CE and submitted in your course binder.

Monthly Submissions: You will turn in corrected and up-to-date documentation three (3) times during

the semester for grading, including your: (1) Clinical Practicum Logbook (corrected), and (2) Excel

Summary (cumulative hours). You are expected to complete the following number of training hours

throughout the semester:

• Beginning of Week 6: Documentation should reflect a total of 30+ hours (over Weeks 1-5)

• Beginning of Week 11: Documentation should reflect a total of 60+ hours (over Weeks 1 – 10)

• Final Exams Week: Documentation should reflect a total of 90+ hours (over Weeks 1 – 14)

End of Semester Submission: You will submit a portfolio of all your training activities during Final Exams

Week. Further details about the portfolio will be given during the course.

You will be graded according to the accuracy of your submissions and the number of hours completed.

(NOTE: If you do not complete the required number of hours during the semester, you will receive an

“incomplete” for the course and will not be able to register for ORLG 230. For further information about

documentation, please contact Ms. Solara Sinno who is the MAS Program Administrative Coordinator.

Attendance & Professionalism:

Student attendance and professionalism is worth 10% of your grade. Your attendance is mandatory and

will be recorded for all assigned blocks. Attendance at the weekly Common Session is important because

it gives us an opportunity to introduce clinical procedures, discuss assignments, and develop report-

writing skills. Laboratory Sessions provide you with various hands-on and simulated activities to help

prepare you for the AUBMC Audiology Center. It is essential that you arrive on time because you must

complete laboratory activities during assigned session(s). The Clinic Sessions help you apply concepts that

you’ve learned in MAUD classes and in the laboratory to clinical situations. Students should arrive at least

10 minutes early to their assigned Clinic Session. If you are unable to attend an assigned block (Common,

Laboratory and/or Clinic Session) because of an emergency, please let your CE know as soon as possible.

Points will be deducted for tardiness and unexcused absences. Excused absences are given for reasons

such as illness, death in the immediate family, and personal/family emergency. As per the rules of the

university, “Students who miss more than one-fifth of the sessions of any course in the first ten weeks of

of 15

the semester (five weeks in the case of the summer term) are dropped from the course if the faculty

member has stated in the syllabus that attendance will be taken."

Professionalism will be assessed on the following 10 categories:

• Maintains patient confidentiality (e.g., no discussions about patients outside clinical setting, patient identifying information is kept secure at all times).

• Uses proper interpersonal skills with clinic staff & peers.

• Uses proper interpersonal skills with patients & families.

• Demonstrates good work habits (punctual, dependable, etc.).

• Accepts constructive criticism.

• Incorporates feedback & implement changes requested by the CE.

• Shows initiative; seek help when appropriate.

• Follows hospital and departmental procedures.

• Maintains a professional affect (professional attitude, dress, appearance, pragmatic skills, etc.).

• Adheres to ASHA Code of Ethics.

Direct Hours:

The Direct Hours component of the course is worth 20% of your grade, and consists of the following.

First, your skills during hands-on laboratories will be assessed by the CEs. Second, your CEs will monitor

your performance during assigned Clinic Sessions and give immediate feedback as you are working with

patients. Third, CEs will complete Formative Assessment of Clinical Skills (FACS) throughout the semester,

to formally assess your clinical skills. By the end of the semester, you should master the following skills:

• Patient greeting

• Case history taking

• Otoscopy

• Pure tone and speech audiometry

• Screening procedures (OAE, AABR)

• Immittance testing

You will learn additional skills during the semester; however, it is not expected that you will achieve

mastery. For further details about the FACS, please refer to the FACS forms at the ORGL 220 Moodle Site.

Finally, CEs will provide a grade for your overall progress throughout the semester.

Indirect Hours

The Indirect Hours component of the course is worth 15% of your grade, and is based on your

performance on AudSimFlex 0.95a assignments, Clinical Reports, and other miscellaneous activities. You

must complete 15+ hours of these activities during the semester.

AudSimFlex 0.95a, is a software program designed to help students practice puretone audiometry on

various simulated patients. You will complete ten (10) AudSim patients throughout the semester. Your

grade will be based on the accuracy of your test results.

By the end of the semester, you will need to write six (6) reports, using the provided Clinical Report

templates (found at the ORGL 220 Moodle Site). The purpose of the Clinical Reports (CRs) is to expose

you to basic professional writing skills required for the profession. CRs must include results from the case

history, otoscopic evaluation, puretone and speech audiometry assessment, immittance tests, and/or

otoacoustic emission screening. NOTE: Only one of the reports can be submitted on a patient who has

normal clinical findings. CRs will be graded using RUBRICS that are also found at the course website.

Professional Activities:

The Professional Activities component of the course is worth 5% of your grade. Professional activities

are related to all structured activities designed to expand your knowledge base. Specifically, you will

complete online activities, attend professional lectures, and complete directed-reading activities. You

must complete 15+ hours of these activities during the semester.

Summative Assessments:

The Summative Assessment (SA) component of the course is worth 35% of your grade, and includes the

Mid-term Exam and Final Exam. The Mid-Term Exam is worth 15% of your grade and includes a practicum

component and a written exam.
