Diagnostic Essays
At the beginning of each semester it is important to get a baseline writing sample from students. Sometime during the first
week, have students write an introductory sample to help you diagnose their writing skills and strategies.
Final Exams
All teachers are responsible for designing and administering their own final exams.
These exams should be in-class, timed writings or reflective essays that ask students to demonstrate their learning and progress
in the class.
All exams must be administered according to the times and dates listed in the Registration Bulletin.
