Course Requirements Evaluation Judgment about the progress of your work is based on the quality and depth of critical and constructive thinking exhibited in quizzes, homework, tests, discussion list, and an occasional paper. Your course grade is determined by averaging the points you achieve from the following scores:
Your final course grade is assigned according to your final average. The Comprehensive Final Exam is an opportunity to improve any or all test grades.. If you choose to take any or all sections of the Comprehensive Final, that part or those parts will be averaged with the corresponding regular test grade taken during the regular semester. If you have an excused absence for any test during the regular semester, the corresponding part of the final exam is the only make-up offered during the regular semester. Grades Judgments about the progress of your work is based in large measure up on tests. The course is essentially performance-based and consists of a progressive series of concepts to be learned and mastered. In general, the course is not difficult if you keep up with the homework daily and do not attempt to learn a large amount of information at one time. Doing homework is the most important factor in doing well in logic. Tests Tests are usually a combination of objective, short answer and problem-oriented questions. They are based on the quizzes, lecture, reading, and homework assignments. If you understand how to do the homework problems, you will do well on the tests. Some particularly difficult optional questions are often included for extra credit. Example Tests for this course are provided on the philosophy Web.
