List typical assignments required outside of classroom activity involving reading and/or writing, including demonstrations of ability to use symbol systems (logic, math, music) or to apply skills - and any other activities.

The assignments should reflect the department's minimum expectations for students and serve as a guide for faculty in developing their syllabi.

Degree-applicable courses must include tasks/assignments that require students to think critically and apply concepts taught in the course. Additionally, assignments should be aligned with the learning outcomes for your course.
