evaluation component. The database component for the Mid-Course Test and
the Final Examination is a selection of questions from the "Review Questions" found
at the end of each lesson The function of the database is to ensure that
the student has an elementary knowledge of the ideas presented. Seventy
percent (70%) of the Mid-Course Test and Final Examination score will
come from the database component. The evaluation component is an
essay question requiring the student to apply the ideas under
study to some concrete problem, to determine how well the student understands these
ideas. Thirty percent (30%)of the Mid-Course Test and Final Examination
