Assessment of Academic Achievement
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 (MATH104).
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.
General Course Requirements and Recommendations
Students must bring a non-graphing scientific calculator to all class sessions.
Application problems must be covered in all mathematics courses. In any course outline, every section that includes application problems must be covered.
