Assessment will be in accordance with the Douglas College Evaluation Policy. The instructor will present a written course outline with specific evaluation criteria at the beginning of the semester. Evaluation will be based on the following:
| Quizzes | 0-20% |
| Test(s) | 20-70% |
| Assignments | 0-15% |
| Attendance | 0-5% |
| Class participation | 0-5% |
| Tutorials | 0-10% |
| Final examination |
30-40% |
| Total |
100% |
Instructors may use a student’s record of attendance and/or level of active participation in the course as part of the student’s graded performance. Where this occurs, expectations and grade calculations regarding class attendance and participation will be clearly defined in the Instructor’s Course Outline.
