Course and Program Specific Policies

ATI PolicyTutorials (where applicable)

Tutorials promote acquisition and application of information related to nursing concepts and skills. Students will be required tospend a minimum amount of time on most assigned tutorials. Times required will vary from tutorial to tutorial. Points awarded fortutorial assignments will be based on time spent (when applicable) and completion of activities (such as pre-tests and post-tests). You will submit evidence of tutorial hours and activities done to the course faculty as instructed to earn points toward thecourse grade.

Practice Assessments and Focused Reviews (where applicable)

Practice assessments help students to assess learning and prepare for proctored exams. Students should take the practiceassessment the first time without prior knowledge of the questions and without looking answers up, as if it were a proctoredexam. This will result in a focused review plan that accurately reflects learning needs and helps the students to prepare forproctored exams.

Proctored Exams and Focused Reviews (where applicable)

Proctored exams help students to assess content mastery and prepare for NCLEX-RN. The goal on these is to score at least aLevel 2 on each proctored exam. This indicates the ability to meet NCLEX-RN standards in this content area.A focused review isalways required after proctored exams.
