Exam dates are shown on the course schedule. Examinations will consist of a mixture of multiple choice questions, short answer questions, definitions, problems, and essays. Essay questions will appear on every exam and are designed to give you an opportunity to demonstrate the breadth and depth of your knowledge. You also will be expected to integrate your personal viewpoints into your essays. Failure to do so will severely limit your score.
Problem sets consist mainly of text book chapter-end problems and questions.
Problem sets are identified in the course schedule. They will help you to understand the material and to identify areas in which you require further attention. Assignments are due on the dates indicated in the course schedule. See below for requirements of written work. You are asked to write a one page critical abstract of any one of the readings assigned for a designated class period.
