METHOD OF EVALUATION
Students will be evaluated by a 2 hour, open-book examination worth 100% of the final grade; however, each student will also have the option of reducing the value of the final examination by writing up to two quizzes and one in class assignment during the term. Each quiz will be worth 5% of the final grade. The in class assignment is worth 15%. So, for example, if a student writes two quizzes and does the in class assignment, that student’s final exam will be worth 75%.
