Assessment and Grading
Testing Procedures: All exams are completely online exams. For more information, see Course Orientation. Grading Procedure: Assessment of course goals is accomplished through two methods. The first is by written examinations and quizzes. These exams and quizzes-- which cover lecture material, class discussion, textbook reading material and programming assignments and possibly other outside reading material--can include fill-in-the-blank, multiple choice and/or short answer questions. Although writing skills are not assessed directly, the student's ability to present ideas in an orderly manner and the ability to write clear and comprehensible statements affect the instructor's decision about the student's level of achievement. The second method is by computer assignments that the student is required to perform outside regular class time. These skills demonstrate if the student has grasped the material in such a
