Each course requires students to complete a total of FOUR Writing Assignments. The Writing Assignments give students the opportunity to demonstrate a level of subject mastery beyond the objective unit examinations, which reflects his/her ability to analyze, synthesize, evaluate and apply his/her knowledge.
Writing assignments are judged on the quality of the response. Word count is NOT one of the criteria that is used in assigning points to writing assignments.
However, students who are successful in earning the maximum number of points tend to submit writing assignments that are 350-500 words (1-2 pages) per question.
