12.GRADING PROCEDURES OR ASSESSMENTS: (Course Syllabus – Individual Instructor Specific)
EXAMPLE:
70% of final grade will be from tests, quizzes, and projects/ presentations
Breakdown of the 70%
60-65% of your final grade:4-5 tests. Each test will consist of a take home and in class portion
5-10% of your final grade:4-6 quizzes, announced and unannounced
0-10% of your final grade:A group project / presentation
30% of final grade will be from homework, attendance, and participation
13. COURSE METHODOLOGY OR COURSE FORMAT: (Course Syllabus – Individual Instructor Specific)
EXAMPLE:
The course design provides instruction and materials to support the course objectives. Classes may consist of a variety of means to accomplish this including but not limiting to: lectures, class discussions, small group projects, supplemental materials, and outside assignments. Practice is an important part of the learning process. For every one hour of class time, two additional hours of study time should be expected.
