Such assignments may be in the form of term papers, book reports, work journals, portfolios, essays, field study reports, oral presentations, individual or class projects, or the like. Special emphasis should be placed on consistent graded written assignments that further the development of students writing skills. A mid-term evaluation and normally a written final examination are required in each course. The results of the mid-term evaluation should be communicated to the students in a timely manner. The nature of a particular course may dictate a form of final evaluation and assessment other than a written exam.
Final examinations are to be kept on file for one year.
Students must complete all components of the required work for each course according to the deadlines established for each component. Failure to complete a component of the course requirements as scheduled or when due may result in a grade of F for the course. Each Center shall communicate these policies to the students during orientation. Each instructor shall devise methods of recording class attendance and should notify the Director of students who are not attending regularly. No student may take more than one independent study course per term.
