NPA creates ample time for students to demonstrate their mastery. In 90-minute, end-of-semester class periods students have assessments that can range from formal exams, project presentations, essays, and the like. The ultimate goal is for meaningful activities that demonstrate student mastery.

Expectations
- Modified tests should be conspicuous so that other students, and even students taking the test themselves, have no discernable way of knowing it modified. Perhaps a title of Version B or similar. Please do not furnish exams with crossed out problems, or reductions using marks of any king.
- Students who will not be attending during the finals schedule may take their finals early, after the break, or in an alternative format agreed on by both teacher and student (online, video presentation, exemption, etc.) - teacher discretion may be used as to which options serve the student and teacher best (more below).
- The final activity must not exceed 15% of total semester grade
- The 90-minute period must be used for meaningful activity (formal exam, presentations, culminating project, etc.)
- Students must stay in with their teacher
- Respect the environment of your neighbors, a quiet serious environment is expected
- please furnish a copy of your mid-term to department chairs by end of semester
Grading
- Midterms will simply be an assignment in Infinite Campus
- If you use weighted categories, simply add or use the appropriate category
- If you use total points, crunch the numbers for the points you'd like your mid-term to be worth
- These cannot exceed 15% of the semester grade
