Exam Schedules

Midterm Exam: 24 April (Thursday) 13:00--14:40 in-class.
- Important: Bring your straightedge (a ruler).
- Coverage: Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 (only those sections we completed by April 17th class).
- Total 8 questions. There will be one set of True/False questions (Please note that you get full credit if you are correct, no credit for no answer, and negative of the assigned score if your answer to this question is incorrect). This exam will be geared toward giving advantages to those who were carefully following class discussions while keeping a good pace of doing homework.
- If you cannot make it to the in-class exam due to an official cause (including properly documented illness), you have to submit a Make-up Exam Application Form at your department. Here is a handout about make-up exam policies.

Assessment of Project-Based Learning (PBL)

For an extra credit, you should record a 20-minute long video lecture about one of the following:
(1) A sample lecture on any topic listed on the syllabus of this course.
(2) A sample lecture on a concept from secondary school geometry curricular.

You should submit the video in a form of a YouTube video link by choosing the sharing option "unlisted." Please use this form to submit your work.

Your video will be disclosed to your classmates in this course as a part of a YouTube playlist. You may turn your video into “private” or even delete the video after your letter grade for this course is assigned.
