Assessments

Each instructor will include a set of departmental final exam questions on their final exam. Approval to include the questions on another end-of-semester assessment tool may be granted if inclusion on the final exam is not possible.
These questions will be in direct support of the Learning Outcomes. Department-wide results for these questions will be reported when final grades are submitted.

Grading guidelines

At least 70% of the student’s final grade should come from proctored work.
