理由是:

Course grading is under the control of course directors and is based on guidelines and standards expressed in the OUWB student handbook and course syllabi. Decisions on retesting are made by the Office of 医疗 教育 following consultation with course directors and consideration of the student’s overall academic performance.

Scope and Applicability:

All OUWB students enrolled in the M1 and M2 years

评分:

1. The minimum breakpoint for the P1 grade is 70% for all preclinical courses. 学生 must also achieve a 70% average for all high-stakes examinations in the course and a minimal score (≥60%) on each high- stakes examination in the course.
2. The breakpoint for the Honors grade is 90% for all preclinical courses. 学生 may also need to meet an attendance requirement to be eligible for the grade of Honors.
3. Written and practical examinations can be separately managed and remediated with approval from the Associate Dean for Preclinical 教育.
4. Grading standards must be clearly outlined in course syllabi.

重新测试

1. Retests should be of similar format and difficulty to the original failed examination(s).
2. 学生 must achieve an average grade of ≥60% on high-stakes examinations in a course in order to be eligible for a retest in that course.

Progress to the Winter Semester

1. 学生 cannot fail more than two (2) courses in the fall semester and be allowed to progress to the winter semester (i.e., a student may not post more than two failing course grades prior to the fall retest period and be allowed to progress to the winter semester).
2. 学生 cannot fail two (2) courses in the same discipline in the M1 fall semester and be allowed to progress to the winter semester (i.e., a student cannot fail both BFCP 1 and BFCP 2 or fail both AFCP 1 and AFCP 2).

Retaking Courses in the Summer Semester

1. 学生 may be allowed to repeat failed courses (over the summer semester) to stay on track with their cohort. Such repeat courses must have the same content as the OUWB course offered during the Fall or Winter semesters, or be a similar course offered by another LCME-accredited U.S. 医学院. All courses taken at another 医学院 to remediate a failed required course in the OUWB curriculum must be approved by the OUWB course directors from the corresponding course and the Associate Dean for Preclinical 教育.
2. 学生 may be allowed to repeat multiple courses over the summer semester. 在M1年, students will not be permitted to repeat more than a total of three (3) among the foundational and organ system courses.  例如, if a student is required to repeat AFCP 1 and BFCP 2 over the summer semester, they may also repeat only one of the four winter semester organ system courses.
3. All remediation courses must be successfully completed for the student to be promoted to the next academic year and allowed to enroll the next semester.
4. No retests of a remediation course will be offered.
