Students are required to carry a valid student ID with them at all times both during regular class meetings and during examinations.   

There will be three examinations conducted made up of two mid-term examinations and a final examination.

 Mid-Term Examinations

The two mid-term examinations will be held on the fourth week and seventh week respectively. For the night classes, the examination will begin at 8:00 p.m. and end at 9:30 p.m. For the classes that meet twice a week during the day time, the examinations will be held on the second class meeting of the fourth week and seventh week respectively. In this case, the examination will commence at the beginning of the class meeting and span the entire duration of the class.

The tests will be composed primarily of multiple-choice questions. The number of questions will vary between 75 and 125 depending on the material covered prior to the examination. Two Scantrons are therefore recommended for the examination. In each examination, the focus will be on material covered from the time the last examination was conducted. In other words, the examination is in not cumulative. Both mid-term examinations are closed-book examinations with the exception of a cheat-sheet allowed to be used as a reference.

The final examination will be held on the date and time printed on the Class Schedule. The duration is 2 hours and 30 minutes. Emphasis will be placed on the material covered after the last mid-term examination. Although unlikely, the examination may also include an essay component in addition to the section containing multiple-choice questions. The number of multiple-choice questions will be in the neighborhood of 100 to 125, again depending on the material covered during the period following the second examination.
