Detailed explanation is included in the expanded syllabus developed
by each instructor for each section being taught.
Tests: Four equal 100-point tests; the fourth will be a
comprehensive
final. These tests may include questions of the following types:
matching, multiple choice, fill-in-the-blanks, definition, or essay
