Quizzes and Exams
In place of large, cumulative exams, you will have the opportunity to demonstrate your mastery of the course Learning Objectives through a series of several quizzes. Every four weeks, there will also be an “Exam Day” when you can take new versions of old quiz questions to demonstrate mastery of any missing Learning Objectives.
The final exam, which is scheduled according to the Carleton College final exam schedule, will be similar to Exam Days, except that it will contain every Quiz Learning Objective for which you have yet to demonstrate mastery.
- Exam Day #1: Friday, April 25th (in class)
- Exam Day #2: Friday, May 23rd (in class)
- Final: Sunday, June 8th (3:30pm-6:00pm)
