The Final Exam, worth 32% of grade, covers units 4, 5, and 6 and consists of 60 MCQs and 4 short essay questions drawn from the study questions. The 60 MCQs and 4 short essay questions will be drawn equally from the material covered. The MCQs will be worth 1 point each and the study questions will be worth 5 points each for a total exam mark out of 80 points. The Final Exam should be scheduled before the end of your course contract and is completed online.
Please note that you must obtain a passing grade on the final exam in order to pass the course. Although non-cumulative, the last three units of the course are directly related to the history of psychology. If you are not satisfied with your grade on the final exam, or if you receive a grade below 50%, you are urged to re-study the material and write a supplemental exam. Should you write a supplemental exam, your official score for the final exam will be the higher of the two grades received.
You may not take the Final Exam before you have completed the appropriate set of unit quizzes. You will have 3 hours to complete the exam. You may not take notes, texts, phones, watches, or other materials into the examination room. If writing the exam with ProctorU, you may bring 1 or 2 sheets of blank paper but these will need to be vetted as per ProctorU’s policies.
When you feel you are ready to take the Final Exam you may request it by using the telephone exam request system or the email exam request system, or by mailing in the examination request form. Please consult the Exams and Grades section under AU Undergraduate Calendar. Please be aware that the submission of your request needs to be made well in advance of the date on which you wish to take the exam.
