General Information
Students and faculty are provided personalized final exam schedules in LionPATH. Final examinations may be given only during the special final examination period at a time and place assigned by the Office of the 注册商.
Final Exam Policy
Final examinations (政策曾经) fulfill two important academic objectives: student integration of instructional material, and end-of-semester evaluation of student achievement. However, valid means other than the final examination also accomplish these objectives (e.g., term paper, final project report, take-home examination, 等.). Course instructors determine which of these methods is best.
Course instructors are expected to:
-
Offer a full schedule of instruction.
-
Schedule no comprehensive examinations during the last week of classes. Quizzes and narrowly limited tests worth no more than 10% or less of the course grade may be given.
-
Schedule final examinations worth more than 10% of the course grade during the established final examination period.
-
Set a due date during the final examination period for alternative means of evaluation (term papers, 最后的项目, 等.) worth more than 10% of the course grade. Alternative means of evaluation worth 10% or less of the course grade may be due prior to the last day of the course.
Students who believe this policy is being violated should review the 上诉程序.
