Credit and Evaluation Policy

The credit and evaluation policy given in the program covenant under the sections on student expectations applies. Specifically for this component of the program this means the following.

Successful learning requires active involvement in learning activities: reading, writing, problem solving, discussion, and lecture. The credit and evaluation policy is based on this observation.

Credit will be awarded for participating in and completing the entire body of work for this component of the program at a passing level of performance. Credit decisions and evaluations will be based on

The quality of your work, the level of your understanding, and the extent of your improvement will be reflected in your evaluation. As a general policy credit will be awarded on an all or none basis for each of the four threads of study, although the faculty reserves the right to make exceptions to that rule. No incompletes will be given.

Attendance is required at all program activities. Failure to attend three or more of scheduled class meetings of History of Science or failure to submit an assigned paper is sufficient grounds for loss of credit. Failure to achieve satisfactory results on exams or failure to submit satisfactory written assignments in a timely way is sufficient grounds for loss of credit.
