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 fifteen percent (15%) of the student's final course grade. In selected semesters this final exam may be a common final exam administered to all sections of MATH-103.
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.
For proctored in-person formal assessments (quizzes, tests, and exams), the only technology students can use is a non-graphing scientific calculator. Quizzes, tests, and exams may have non-calculator parts. Class projects and informal assessments will require students to use a free graphing application to support learning.
Additional assessment of student achievement may include assignments, quizzes, and exams.
Application problems must be included on all exams, including the final exam.
General Course Requirements and Recommendations
A non-graphing scientific calculator is required for formal assessments.
Free graphing applications may be used to support learning for informal assessments and class work.
Application problems must be covered in all mathematics courses. In any course outline, every section that includes application problems must be covered.
