The
course consists of twelve lessons, including two supervised
examinations. Each of the ten regular lessons assigns problems
from the textbook for the student to complete and submit for
evaluation. |
EXAMINATIONS:
This
course requires two supervised examinations. Lessons 6 and 12
are two-hour supervised examinations containing questions similar
to those in the writing assignments and to those in the self-check
tests which precede each of the examinations. The final examination
is comprehensive.
