Methods of Evaluation/Basis of Grade.

Writing: Assessment tools that demonstrate writing skill and/or require students to select, organize and explain ideas in writing.		Writing 0 - 5%
Effective Learning Skills Writing Assignment(s)
This is a degree applicable course but assessment tools based on writing are not included because problem solving assessments are more appropriate for this course and this course includes essay exams that fulfil the writing component of the course.
Problem solving: Assessment tools, other than exams, that demonstrate competence in computational or non-computational problem solving skills.		Problem Solving 10 - 40%
Problem sets
Skill Demonstrations: All skill-based and physical demonstrations used for assessment purposes including skill performance exams.		Skill Demonstrations 0 - 0%
None
Exams: All forms of formal testing, other than skill performance exams.		Exams 50 - 90%
Quizzes, exam(s), and final exam
Other: Includes any assessment tools that do not logically fit into the above categories.		Other Category 0 - 20%
