PROJECT: COMPLETING THE FIELD MANUAL (20 POINTS)

For your project you are responsible for completing and turning in your Field Manual. A complete description of the requirements and additional details are in the Field Manual Protocols: Completing the Field Manual and the Grading Rubric for the Field Manual (both above). It is essential that you are familiar with the instructions in those documents and that you follow them in putting together your field manual.

 

Field Manual Protocols gives a complete list of the documents you are required to include in your field manual and in what order. All of those documents, except for the final data sheets, have been available for a while. If you have not already begun putting together your field manual, it's time you started.

 

By the deadline shown in the Course Schedule on the main page of the syllabus:

  • Put your field manual, completed according to the instructions, in the box outside my office door. (Please note on the Course Schedule that your field manual is due by 9 pm -- not midnight as with your other assignments. The building will be locked around 10 pm and I will pick up all of the field manuals prior to that time. If you turn in your field manual after 9 pm, it will be 1 day late.)

  • Make certain that you've put your name, the semester and the year on the field manual title page.

  • Late manuals will lose one point per day late, including weekends and holidays. (Although I do take late assignments, I do not take assignments past the end of the semester. Check the Course Schedule on the main page of your syllabus for the final date I will accept assignments.)

 

FINAL EXAM (20 POINTS)

The final exam has 40 multiple-choice questions. Each correct question is worth one-half point. There is a comprehensive review for the final on the Final Exam Review page, linked off of the main page of the syllabus.

 

The final exam is an online exam.  You must read the instructions for the final exam before taking it. Once the final is available the instructions will be on the main page of the syllabus just below the Course Schedule.

 

Please note that students taking the final exam online must complete the exam by the deadline shown in the Course Schedule on the main page of the syllabus. The deadline gives you the maximum possible amount of time to take the exam but it allows NO margin of error since grades are due. If you miss that deadline, regardless of the reason, you will not be able to take a make-up exam. I strongly encourage you to take it early rather than risking damage to your grade by waiting until the last minute.
