final exam or no?

I usually don't give final exams because I've always been a bit skeptical of the way they purport to measure "knowledge."

At the same time, society seems to still reward those who can package their knowledge into the standardized box. Am I doing my students a favor by generating other forms of assessment or should I be providing them more opportunities to learn how to fit in?

Currently, the final exam for Public Speaking is scheduled for Friday, December 16 at 10:30 am in Macher W-26.

The final exam for Introduction to Mass Communication is scheduled for Tuesday, December 13th (the last day of class).
