The course is graded on a Pass/Fail basis. Students must meet the minimal
requirements in each of the following five required components evaluated in
order to successfully pass the course.
-
Attendance
Attend all PCM-3 sessions. To pass the course, no more than two
EXCUSED absences are allowed. A formal request for an
absence from any required PCM-3 session must be submitted to the Course
Directors and the Office of Student Affairs at least 30 days in advance of
the scheduled session. Prior
permission from the Student Affairs Deans and Course Directors must
be obtained. When permission from the Office of Student Affairs has been
granted, students must immediately inform the Course Directors, their
facilitators (for small group absences only), and the PCM-3 coordinator,
Kelly Larkin (klarkin2@luc.edu), of the excused absence. Absences without prior
permission are subject to a required meeting with the Student Affairs Deans.
If such absences are deemed unexcused by the Student Affairs Deans, this
will result in a professionalism concern and make up assignment. Two
unexcused absences will result in a failure to complete the course and
require repetition of the entire course.
To
help students remain in the habit of reflecting, if a small group session is
missed, students must write a two-page Reflection Paper describing their
recent clerkship rotation experiences. It must be uploaded in Sakai under
the assignments menu tab and emailed to their facilitators prior to the next
PCM3 day. Students with an excused absence,
that cannot be present at their reflection small group session, have the
option to "Skype" or "FaceTime" into the small group through one of their
peer's tablets or smart phones so that they may still participate in the
small group experience. This
option is only for those students with an excused absence. In
this case, the reflection paper is no longer required. Lastly, students are
required to view the online video recordings of the lectures missed as well
as responsible for the material from any missed sessions.

IMPORTANT:
Students who do not
pass the final exam as specified above will receive a final course grade of F
and must pass a make-up examination to pass the course. An F course grade
successfully remediated by passing the make-up examination can only be converted
to a P* grade. The P* grade is defined on the Stritch transcript key as a
Remediated Pass.
A single F grade not
successfully remediated by passing a make-up examination requires repetition of
the entire course.
