Evaluation Approaches
This course includes at least 4 exercises, with totally 4 questions or so.
Exercise results and other test results account for 30% of the final course score. Times of late or missing submitting works should be less than 40% of the total times of exercises. Otherwise, it will affect the score of the exercise.
It is promoted and encouraged for students to discuss with the teacher and clas**ates. Students must finish the exercise on their own. Plagiarizing or copying others’ work will violate the academic morality and it is forbidden. Students who involved with severe case will be handed over to the Committee of Student Disciplinary Treatment.
It is helpful to do the exercises, because it makes students to master the course better and then to get a higher score on stage examinations and the final one. The final examination may contain similar questions or even exactly the same questions that had appeared in the previous exercises.
Asses**ent System
The examination and asses**ent is the main approach, with the assistance of homework and classwork asses**ent, to objectively and strictly assess the learning quality and effect as far as possible, in order to improve the basic quality of students in this major.
Students are allowed to participate in the final examination with the specified exam objects, and answer the questions individually. Any activities of cheating in the examination will result in the processing from the Student Indiscipline Commitee.
The timespan of final examination is 120 minutes, and the specific time and location will be published at least 1 week before the examination.
Achievement evaluation takes centesimal system, which Exercise results and other test results account for 30% of the final course score (30 points), close exam account for 70% of the course (70 points).
