Each exam will contain essay, short answer, and multiple choice questions.
Approximately half of an exam grade will be based on essay and short answer
responses, and the other half of the grade will be based on multiple choice
questions.
Essay and short answer questions are probably the best way to assess
students' depth of understanding. However, multiple choice items are also
used (a) so a large number of topics can be covered on the exam (especially
important in an introductory course), and (b) to provide a more fair test
for students who do not write well.
Possible essay and short answer questions will be announced in class
in advance. Students should be prepared to answer any of these questions
on the exam.
The professor will choose the actual exam questions from the list announced
in advanced.
A tentative list of questions is available on the study guide for each
exam.
