METHODS OF ASSESSMENT
FOR DEGREE APPLICABLE COURSES:
Students will be graded, at minimum, in at least one of the following categories. If
"essay" is not checked, it must be explained why essays are an inappropriate basis
for at least part of the grade in the course.
ESSAY OR SUBSTANTIAL WRITING ASSIGNMENT
Includes not only "blue book" examinations but any written assignment of sufficient
length and complexity to require students to select and organize ideas as well as to
explain them.
