The student will focus on the nature of this experience and how it differs from ordinary or other similar situations. The student will take care to articulate the nature of their experience, the context in which it occurred, and the nature of the object or phenomenon that was the subject of this experience. The student will also attempt to identify the value criteria they applied in that situation. 2. The exam assesses the student's knowledge and understanding of the topics covered in lectures and the required reading.
