Assessment of Academic Achievement
All students will be required to complete a comprehensive final examination that assesses the learning of all course objectives. This exam must be weighted in a manner so that this exam score is worth a minimum of fifteen percent (20%) of the 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 not only be included on chapter exams but also on the final exam.
General Course Requirements and Recommendations
A scientific calculator is required of each student.
Application problems must be covered in all mathematics courses. Every section of any course outline that includes application problems must be covered.
