Final Exams and Term Papers

Courses typically end with a final examination or its equivalent, often a term paper. Some instructors elect a final hour test, a take-home examination, or some other substitute for the final examination. In the data line of the YCPS, a zero in parentheses indicates that the instructor is not planning to schedule a final examination; any other number in parentheses means that a final exam should be expected.
