NBC online Global Evangelism / Communicating the Gospel in a Pluralistic World
What is a final exam?
Final exams are given at the end of most academic courses. They help determine what you
are taking away from the class. This would, of course, include specific knowledge and factual
data. In an NBC online course like this one, the final exam can also reveal things like;
Data interpretation ability
The awareness of global challenges
Critical thinking skills
Problem-solving techniques
Research skills
Effective written communication
The ability to manage deadlines and organize study schedules
Effective reading and information processing skills
The understanding of cultural, social, and global perspectives
The final exam grade is not what winds up on your transcript. Final course grades are
cumulative of all the work you've done throughout the course.
