Examinations
Assignments and examinations are the basic means of evaluating your understanding of the pre-defined learning objectives in each course. Your final grade for a course is normally determined by a weighted average of the marks for all assignments and exams completed in the course. Because tutor support is discontinued on the course contract end date, all of your course work, including assignments, quizzes, and examinations, must be completed by that date.

Preparation
Good study habits, time management, reading to understand and remember, frequent reviews, and relating your studies to your everyday life all go a long way toward preparing you for the final examination.
Anxiety can prevent you from doing well in examinations. Many of our students have benefited from some coping strategies offered by Athabasca University's Counselling Services. Athabasca University also produces a brochure “Mastering Exam Anxiety,” and provides online resources. If you are having difficulties preparing for your examination, please review Advising and Counselling's Web site, or e-mail an AU counsellor.
