Assignment 1: Assessing Your Growth - Exams
As a neophyte in a rite of passage and on a pilgrimage, it is important to periodically assess your growth. To accomplish this you will take four "exams," covering lecture presentations, events, videos, and textbook readings. These exams will be essay in nature and not "objective," asking true-false or multiple-choice questions. In each exam, a series of short and long essay questions will be posed. You will be asked to select and respond to a limited number of these questions. The exams are cumulative, as questions draw upon materials considered and discussed in previous sections of the course. The final exam will cover a culmination of the entire semester's materials, include all four religious traditions. Exams must be taken at their assigned times and dates. In the event of a documented emergency, a make-up essay exam must be take within one week of returning to class. The student must notify the instructor prior to an absence from an exam date (by phone or e-mail, or in person).
