“A” PROJECT—FINAL EXAM (exam now available)

If you are looking at this page, then you are thinking about trying to earn an “A” grade in AST 101. Super!

In Astronomy 101, an “A” student learns everything a “B” student learns, but can also discuss it, in depth and in writing. To earn an “A” you must complete the requirements to earn a “B”, and also take the final exam.

The exam will be of an essay format. It will be posted at the mid-semester point (on or around March 9). It will be due during Final Exam week. You may turn in the Final Exam only after you have completed the requirements to earn a “B” grade.

The exam will be an essay, approximately 2000 words, in which you will discuss what you learned in AST 101. To receive credit for completing the exam, the exam must be completed properly. If the exam is not properly completed, it will be returned to you for no credit. There is no “grade” on the exam—it simply must be completed properly, or no credit is awarded and you receive a “B” grade.

Completed properly means:

· Everything asked for in the exam is completed.

· Work is organized and neat.

· Written work is typed.

· The word length minimum stated for the exam is met.

· Written work uses proper grammar, spelling, punctuation, etc. as is suitable for college-level work.
