MATH100

All students are required to complete a comprehensive final examination that assesses the learning of all course objectives. This final examination must be weighted in a manner so that this exam score is worth a minimum of twenty percent (20%) of the student's final course grade. In selected semesters this final exam may be a common final exam administered to all sections of course.

All students will be required to complete at least two (2) proctored on-campus exams. The cumulative value of these exams must be at least forty percent (40%) of a student's final course grade.

Additional assessment of student achievement may include assignments, quizzes, and exams.

Attendance is defined as presence. While regular engagement is critical for student success, no grade-bearing credit shall be awarded solely for attendance.

Participation (also referred to as engagement) is defined as the completion of an academic activity. To ensure that course grades continue to primarily reflect activities that lead to or demonstrate mastery of the mathematics curriculum, participation may account for no more than 10% of the overall course grade in all Mathematics Department courses.

Application problems must be included on all exams, including the final exam.

The Critical Thinking Activities must be administered during the semester. Due to the challenging nature of these activities, instructors must use class time to start each activity and to engage students in the critical thinking portion of the problem-solving process. The collection of all critical thinking activities must be weighted in a manner so that the total of this collection is worth between six percent (6%) and twelve percent (12%) of the student's final course grade.
