Academic Integrity (Including Cheating and Plagiarism) The University of Texas at El Paso prides itself on its standards of academic excellence. In all matters of intellectual pursuit, UTEP faculty and students must strive to achieve excellence based on the quality of work produced by the individual. In the classroom and in all other academic activities, students are expected to uphold the highest standards of academic integrity. Any form of academic dishonesty is an affront to the pursuit of knowledge and jeopardizes the quality of the degree awarded to all graduates of UTEP. It is imperative, therefore, that the members of this academic community understand the regulations pertaining to academic integrity and that all faculty insist on adherence to these standards. Any student who commits an act of academic dishonesty is subject to discipline. Academic dishonesty includes, but is not limited to, cheating, plagiarism, collusion, the submission for credit of any work or materials that are attributable in whole or in part to another person, taking an examination for another person, and any act designed to give unfair advantage to a student or the attempt to commit such acts. Proven violations of the detailed regulations, as printed in the Handbook of Operating Procedures (HOP), and available in the Office of the Dean of Students and on the homepage of the Dean of Students at www.utep.edu/dos, may result in sanctions ranging from disciplinary probation, to a failing grade on the work in question, to a failing grade in the course, to suspension or dismissal, among others.

Week of 04/21 Management of hearing amplification and sensory systems. Week of 04/28 Principles of audiologic treatment, multicultural issues. Week of 05/05 Comprehensive Review Week of 05/12 Comprehensive Exam Means of Assessment: Assessment is based upon Bloom?s Cognitive Taxonomy; Knowledge (K)-recall of facts and specific info; Comprehension (C) ? Understanding, the ability to describe and explain the material; Application (Ap) ? use of info in a new situation, ability to use knowledge in a new situation; Analysis (An) ? ability to break down material into component parts and identify the relationships product; Evaluation (E) ? judgments about value based on internal and external criteria, extent to which materials and objects meet criteria. Measurable Outcomes 1. Identify and differentiate various qualitative and quantitative methods available for screening and assessment of hearing disorders (K, C, Ap, An, E). 2. Identify, describe and interpret orally and in writing the physiological, neurological and structures involved in hearing (K, C, Ap, An, E). 3. Identify, describe and interpret orally and in writing the structure and function of the central and peripheral nervous system when involved in normal functions of hearing with progression of aging (K, C, Ap, An, E). 4. Identify, describe and interpret normal and abnormal reflexes of the hearing mechanism and their role in differentiating normal from abnormal functioning (K, C, Ap, An, E). 5. Describe the hearing of an individual from an audiogram (K, C, Ap, An, E). 6. Define the three kinds of hearing loss: sensorineural, conductive, mixed, and explain the physiological causes of each (K, C, Ap, An, E). 7. Describe the properties of sound as it moves through air and as it resonates in the vocal cavities (K, C, Ap, An, E). 8. Define the key terms relative to sound wave propagation (K, C, Ap, An, E). 9.
