There is a summer reading assignment due the start of the semester.
Grades are based on multiple types of formative and summative assessments, including a culmination project, and a concept thesis paper.
All assignments are posted. Dates for tests and long term assignments are posted in advance. Students should review class notes and assignments on a nightly basis to be prepared.
