Department Policy on Common Final Exams
The following guidelines should govern the implementation of common final exams:
- Any course in which a common final exam is to be given should possess a core syllabus approved by the Undergraduate Committee. The final exam should be drawn entirely from material included in the relevant core syllabus.
- The final exam should count for between 25% and 50% of a student's final grade and this should be reflected on each individual instructor's syllabus.
- The exact percentage is left to the individual instructor, as long as it lies in the specified range.
- These limits may be waived for individual students in exceptional circumstances.
- The Course Coordinator may specify stricter bounds for part-time instructors and teaching assistants.
- The final exam is written by the Course Coordinator with input from faculty members teaching the course. The degree to which part-time instructors and teaching assistants are allowed to participate in this process is left up to the Course Coordinator.
