Course and Study
Commitment:

It is estimated that you will spend over 120 hours in the
classroom and an additional 10 hours in the Emergency Room for patient
observation.  To say the least, this course is INTENSE and moves very
quickly!  It requires MATURITY, DEDICATION and plenty of extra STUDY
time.  We suggest that for every classroom hour you attend, you must
commit to an additional hour of outside study.  If you are an MSU student
with a heavy course load, we do NOT recommend taking the course.  In the
past, MSU students who carried heavy academic course loads had a very hard time
completing this course.  Attendance is required. 

You may not miss more than two excused classes and must pass
all exams with a minimum score of 70%. If you fail two or more exams –
including retests – you will be dropped from this course.
