NUIP 4004

Yes, it is an A, unless you deliberately try and fail. You do learn a lot but the focus is obviously on passing written and practical. For the written, I would read through the book- but this not emphasized during class.

Also for the written make sure you know critical criteria. Also not emphasized during class but for practical- you will legit fail if you try and give something by mouth if patient unable to respond or mentally incapacitated

Also other failing criteria for practicals not emphasized in class- transporting pregnant women on their left side

Awesome class, makes you eligible to take the National Registry EMT exams. Many people think that you become a licensed EMT by taking this class, and that is not the case. Once finishing the class you have to take your two NREMT exams. Amazing class. Dayton is hilarious, very nice, and flexible about submission dates and letting class out early. For the 2014-2015 year it was 2 credits in the fall (Sunday and Wednesday 6-10PM) and 3 credits in the spring (Monday 6-10 until first week of March). Tests are easy, and you get to take it a second time after being given all the answers. We had a couple homeworks throughout the year that were easy .Definitely recommend it.

Professor Haugh is a great teacher. He really does well teaching the concepts in a way that you can understand with relatively little knowledge about medicine. This class has now been changed to be a 2 semester 5 credit class (2 credits in the Fall and 3 in the Spring). Practical days are super fun and it gives you a chance to use what you have learned in class.

Easiest 5 credit class ever. This is the class to become EMT certified. Sure, it's a pain to have two four hour off grounds classes at night BUT pretty much a guaranteed A. Just do the homework and complete the quizzes which are done at home. Lecture can be boring at times but practical days in which you do practice your skills can generally be fun. I suggest reading along with the schedule so you don't have to read a lot before your quiz but no one really does that bc you're not tested in class and the instructor teaches you everything.

The absolute easiest class at UVa. I spent no time and got an A.
