Punctuality must be observed.
When a student accumulates absences that are equivalent to 20% or more of the
required number of hours in this subject, he/she automatically obtains a grade of
5.0.
This equivalent to 11 hours of absences in the lecture
2. Missed Exams:
Students are required to take special examination for a missed major exam upon
securing special exam permit at the accounting office.
There is no make up for missed quizzes and practical exam thus a students gets a
zero mark equivalent to 50% final requirement must be submitted on the specified
schedule, otherwise, an incomplete grade will be given for the subject. The student
is automatically given a grade of 5.0 if the grade is not completed within a year.

3. Grading Policies
There will be four examinations. Grades shall be determined by the following:

Subject: IMMUNOHEMATOLOGY (BLOOD BANKING)

Prerequisite: Immunology, Cytogenetics

Course Credit: 3 units lecture (2 units lecture and 1 unit laboratory)

Contact Hours: 2 hours lecture and 3 hours laboratory per week


Total of 36 hours lecture and 54 hours laboratory per semester

Code: IH Year: Fourth Year Semester: First Semester

Course Description:
The course deals with the concepts and principles of different red cell antigen systems
and the application of specific blood group antigens and antibodies to compatibility testing. It
also deals with the entire blood donation process or transfusion medicine.

Course Objectives:
At the end of the course, the student should be able to:
1. Explain the principles and procedures in immunohematology, blood banking collection,
processing, preservation, storage and distribution of blood and its components and
derivatives.
2. Perform accurately the techniques of blood grouping, compatibility testing, coombs test
and other special tests in immunohematology.
3. Explain the basic concepts in the organization of Blood Bank
4. Establish quality assurance program in blood bank.
5. Manifest the following values: integrity, honesty, critical thinking, empathy and value for
life.

Course Policies:
1. Attendance & Tardiness:

A student is required to attend his/ her classes regularly.


Punctuality must be observed
When a student accumulates absences that are equivalent to 20% or more of the
required number of hours in this subject, he/she automatically obtains a grade of 5.0
This is equivalent to 11 hours of absences in the lecture.

2. Missed Exams:

Students are required to take special examination for missed major exam upon securing
special exam permit at the accounting office. There is no make up for missed quizzes
and practical exam. Thus, a student gets a zero mark equivalent to 50%. Final
requirement must be submitted on the specified schedule, otherwise is automatically
given a grade of 5.0 if the grade is not completed within a year.
3. Grading Policies

There will be four examinations. Grades shall be determined by the following:


Lecture 60%
Quizzes/Journal analysis 40%
Attendance 10%
Monthly exam 50%
________________
Monthly grade
Laboratory 40%
