Book: Radiographic Exposure – Principles & Practice, Jerry Ellen Wallace, F.A. Davis
Goal: This class will cover two vital areas. The first area is the items used in creating a
diagnostic radiograph. These items include the film, processor and chemicals,
intensifying screens, beam restricting devices, and grids. The second area covered
will include factors affecting image quality, and technical considerations. Work
will be performed in the lab, which further demonstrates the characteristics of
radiation and exposure.
Lab: Students will have the principles of exposure reinforced and demonstrated in the
classroom and radiographic lab. Grade is based upon attendance of lab. Participation is
essential to the lab experience. Missing a lab requires meeting with the instructor for
assignments to make up for missing the lab experience. If arrangements are not made
with the instructor and a lab is missed, a deduction of 10 points will be made to the
students overall grade.
ADO: This course requires the student to utilize algebraic computations to understand
key principles of radiographic exposure(ADO3). The course also requires students to
analyze and evaluate key factors and reach a viable solution(ADO4). Students will
demonstrate the ability to understand and apply occupational information(OCC1).

completed on time prior to class so that the student may have the best opportunity to
understand the lecture material and make inquires of difficult topics. The very nature of
this program makes it very difficult for one to catch up once they have gotten behind.
Collaboration
While JCC encourages students to collaborate in study groups, work teams, and with lab
partners, each student should take responsibility for accurately representing his/her own
contribution.
Consequences/Procedures
Faculty members who suspect a student of academic dishonesty may penalize the student
by taking appropriate action up to and including assigning a failing grade for the paper,
project, report, exam, or the course itself. Instructors should document instances of
academic dishonesty in writing to the Dean of Faculty.

Student Appeal Process
In the event of a dispute, both students and faculty should follow the Conflict Resolution
Policy. This policy is presented in Student Rights and Responsibilities (Student
Handbook) and the Master Agreement.
Conflict Resolution Policy
Step #1 Student meets with the instructor to discuss the conflict and establish a
clear understanding of each other's concerns. A third party may be
requested by either party to participate in this informal meeting in order to
resolve the conflict. The third party may be, but is not limited to:
Another student
Another instructor
An administrator
The department chairperson
Step #2 If the conflict is not resolved in Step #1; the student then meets with the
Dean of Student Development to discuss the results of the prior meeting.
If a third person was NOT present, the Dean of Student Development will
initiate a second meeting between the student and the instructor with a
designated third party to facilitate the discussion.
Step #3 If step #2 does not result in resolution; the student then submits a written
statement of the conflict to the Dean of Faculty. The statement should
also include a description of the informal meeting(s). Refer to Article III,
U, 1. Of the Master Agreement.
*****Students must have a minimum 2.0 in this course to continue in the
Radiography program.
