Undergraduate Core Assessment Rubric (CAR)
Description of the Core Assessment Instrument
(such as Final Exam, term paper, project, etc):
This assessment is designed to access primarily
Core Learning Outcomes #1 to #4, and will make up to 20% of the course grade.
Final Exam is the tool Core Assessment tool. The final grade is in the form of a percentage
where the percentages equate to the following level of success.
