Exam Instructions

The exams  will be short answer, T/F, and multiple choice. Read the assigned material carefully. You may find some questions we were unable to cover in class. This is to encourage you to rely on yourself and develop your ability to judge the value and meaning of what you read. To put it another way, we can't cover everything in the book during class. The questions come from a pool prepared by both me  and Prof. Bolman.

You  take the exam  and turn in your answers. Then your group takes the same exam and decides on a group answer. When you finish the group exam, you  can decide whether you wish to have your individual  exam serve as your grade or use the group exam to determine your grade. All in the group  who have chosen the group option receive the same group grade. 

The highest individual grade sets the standard for grading and any group achieving that best grade or better  receives 100% credit for the exam. The balance of the grades are determined as follows, by example:

If there are 100 questions. and the  best individual grade is  90, any individual who has chosen the group option in a group answering 90 or better correctly  gets 100% of the points assigned to the assessment.

If there are 100 questions and the  best individual grade is  90, any individual who has chosen the individual who answers 86 correctly receives  86/90 of the points assigned to that assessment. The same example applies to a group getting 86 questions right.

Here is another example. Assume  the  best individual grade is  95 out 100 possible questions.  If  your  group answers 80 correct and you have decided to be graded by the group option, you  and anyone else in your group who has chosen the group option receive 80/95 of the points assigned to that assessment. If you have chosen the individual option with 80 correct,  you receive 80/95 of the points assigned to that assessment, and so on.

You have exactly 1 hour for individual exam. You can write on the exam booklet but you must turn it in at the end of the exam or you will not receive a grade.

Don't leave the room between exams.

You have exactly 1 hour for group exam.
