Exam Do's and Don'ts

 

DO:


1.   Write your answers down.  You will need them to check against the posted answer key or if for any reason the exam window closes before you’ve submitted your responses.

2.   Use a calculator if one is needed during a quiz or exam.

3.   Open Pop-up images one at a time.  Be sure to close each image when you are done viewing it.  If the first image is still open, the system will not open the next image.

4.   Contact the on call person either by phone or email if anything unusual happens while you are testing.

5.   Contact the on call person by email immediately if you are testing after on call hours and experience problems.  You can also stop by the office (3950E LRC) before class on Monday or the next business day.

6.   Double check your responses before submitting them.

7.   Contact the on call person if you accidentally enter your response in the incorrect column or simply forget to answer a question.   Email the on call person right away with your honor code number, the name of the quiz/exam, question number and response and she will enter it for you. 

A.  Remember you must email this information before the answer key is posted on Monday morning at 8:00am. 
B.  **The Exam Coordinators can NOT change submitted responses.

8.   STAY CALM and remember technical issues are fixable!

 

DON’T:


1.   Don’t use Mozilla.  It isn’t compatible with the online exam program.

2. Don't copy, download, or photocopy quizzes/exams or quiz/exam questions in ANY way.  This includes the use of print screen features on the computer and camera phones.  These are all against the honor code.

3.   Don’t drag and drop an image window by clicking on the image.  Click on the title bar at the top of the image window.  You could embed the image in the exam window and be unable to get back to the questions.  If this happens, go to the backup server.

4. Don’t use the scroll feature on the mouse.  You could accidentally be scrolling through responses on a pull down question and change your answer without realizing it.

5.   Don’t forget to submit your responses.  If you simply close out of the quiz or exam your responses won’t be saved.

6. If you have problems viewing images, don’t guess and enter a response.  Leave it blank and contact the on call person.

7.   If you are timed out of a quiz/exam, don’t close out of the exam.  Give the system time to submit your response.
