Assessment

All assignments (quizzes and tests) are timed and the majority limited to one attempt (Greek and Latin derivative quizzes being the exception) and students need to be comfortable with the restrictive timing and attempt limits! No exceptions!
• One hour for 100 question tests
• Four minutes for 10 question quizzes

Quizzes (weighted 20%): 16 quizzes (lowest 6 dropped).

Tests (weighted 80%): 7 exams [if all exams 1-6 are taken your lowest score for exams 1-6 may be replaced with exam 7 (mandatory Final) score].

Test coverage will draw from both the textbook and the laboratory. Questions over textbook material may be multiple-choice, true-false, or matching and may cover any aspect of the subject. Questions over laboratory material are short answer (NOT to include multiple-choice or a word bank). Quizzes cover Greek and Latin terminology and laboratory material.
