Exams

At the end of each section of the course, students complete exams. Exams are done on paper, and then entered into the computer. Students get immediate feedback on their answers. At the end of the course, students take a final exam.

Each week, students submit a report of their work electronically to their instructor, who reviews the student's work on the exercises and looks for potential trouble areas. The instructors are available for phone or email consultation should the student have any questions.
