The Methods of Assessment section on the syllabus is different from most others because it doesn't include an open text box in which you enter information. Instead, you build a list of all the methods of assessment in your course and how much each method of assessment counts toward a student's final grade in the class. For official, academic courses at the School of Public Health, you will need to submit any changes you make to this section to the BSPH course system for review and approval.
