Assessment of Academic Achievement
A comprehensive final examination, weighted in a manner that is worth at least twenty percent (20%) of the final course grade, is required for all sections.
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.
General Course Requirements and Recommendations
A non-graphing scientific calculator is required of each student. Any calculator capable of calculating the values of trigonometric, logarithmic, and exponential functions is acceptable.
Application problems must be covered in all mathematics courses. In any course outline, every section that includes application problems must be covered.
