Final assessments are typically comprehensive and are designed to evaluate the full range of material covered throughout the course, rather than focusing on recent topics or specific assignments.
Final assessments commonly use a mix of question formats to test various types of knowledge and skills, from factual recall to critical thinking and written expression.
Final assessments are generally scheduled at the end of the term, after all course material has been covered.
In online courses, final assessments are often conducted through the university's online platform, with timed formats to simulate traditional exam conditions.
In practical courses (such as healthcare or engineering), final assessments are designed to test students' ability to apply theoretical knowledge in practical, real-world settings, often involving demonstrations or simulations.
