Methods of Evaluation of Competencies:

Evaluation of student mastery of course competencies will be accomplished using the following methods:

In-Class physical demonstration of competencies  40-60% of grade
Written Examinations                             20-30% of grade
Skills Development Examinations                  20-30% of grade
Projects                                          0-10% of grade
                  Total:                           100%

Caveats:

1. Strenuous and/or potentially dangerous exercise.
