Two exams (mid-term and final) will be given in this course and are worth the same amount of points. The mid-term and final exams consist of multiple choice, fill-in-the-blanks, and short essay questions. The mid-term exam covers all materials from the first day of class through the week before the exam. The final exam is not cumulative but only covers materials from the mid-term exam through the end of the course. The mid-term exam will take place on Oct 20, 2009 (Tues.) and Oct 21, 2009 (Wed.) in the room that is normally used for the in-class sessions. Final exams will be given on the days assigned in the schedule of classes for each section. Exam content will frequently be discussed during the in-class sessions and some exam questions will be developed based upon the results of in-class activities. Therefore attendance to the in-class sessions is HIGHLY recommended. Most exam questions will be produced from the video episodes and the reading assignments. Students who have difficulty taking exams should discuss their situation with the instructor at the start of the semester. Students who miss the examination with a valid excuse will be given a different make-up exam. Those with foreseeable absences should arrange in advance to take make-up exams. A make-up exam will not be given to students without a valid excuse. The instructor reserves the right to determine what is valid and what is not, based upon the University of Hawai'i policies. |
