There will be three examinations in the course including the final exam. Each exam (including the final) will be counted equally. The exams will consist of multiple choice, essay, and problem questions. Study questions will be provided to help prepare for the exams. Plus and minus grade options will be used in the class.
The two midterm exams will be given in the evening and are tentatively scheduled for Wednesday, October 1 and Wednesday, November 5 in 134 Temple Buell Auditorium. The midterm exams will begin at 7:00 PM and conclude by 9:00 PM.. The final examination (7:00-9:00 PM, Tuesday, May 6 the regular classroom) will be non comprehensive. Three classes will be dismissed to compensate for the extra, out of class time required for the exams.
Students enrolled for graduate credit are expected to complete a paper on a topic related to the material in the class. The details of the paper will be worked out on an individual basis with each student. The paper will be due the last day of class.
Chapters 4, 5, and 6 will be emphasized. (Pages 46-50 only in Chapter 3)
