Summative Evaluations

Please note: All courses must have a minimum of four summative evaluation measures, and those measures should include a variety evaluation methods (e.g., test, oral presentation, group project). Please list all summative evaluation measures. In addition to these summative measures, a variety of formative exercises/quizzes/other assignments should be used to guide instruction and learning but do not need to be included on this template.

For each measure, please include a scope of the assignment: for example, if requiring a research paper, include the range of required number of words and numbers and types of sources; for a test, include the types and numbers of questions; for a presentation, include the minimum and maximum time, and so on.

FINAL COURSE GRADE

(Calculated using the following weighted average)

Evaluation Measure / Percentage of final grade
Summative: 3-4 Exams (equally weighted) / 50%
Summative: 10-15 Laboratory Experiments (equally weighted) / 40%
Formative: Homework/Pop Quizzes (equally weighted) / 5%
Formative: Quizzes (equally weighted) / 5%
TOTAL / 100%

LIST RELEVANT COURSE POLICIES (e.g., makeup policies for evaluation measures and learning experiences agreed upon collegewide)

Quizzes are announced formative assessments that have a heavier weighting factor than pop quizzes, which serve to complement homework assignments and provide feedback on student progress toward mastery learning.

Laboratory experiments will include design, analysis and practical applications of analog circuits. Students will display their understanding of the material through proper analysis/design/construction of the amplifiers, active filters, oscillators, and industrial circuits.
