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.
