Virtually Proctored Exams: Proctored exams are one of many assessment tools used in MTH to assess student learning. Our class will be participating in a Virtual Proctoring Pilot that is being run in collaboration with Math, Online Learning, and the Testing Center. The exams in this class will be proctored virtually in Zoom with me, your instructor, on the following dates and times:

• Here are the dates planned for each exam. All exams and quizzes for each chapter must be taken during class time and proctored virtually during the Zoom meeting.

  • • May 1, June 3, and June 12 -  Exam days
    • 30-minute Proctored Quiz in Zoom - April 15, April 29, May 15, May 29

    To have your exam proctored virtually, you must fully read and understand the Student Guide to Virtually Proctored Exams in Zoom and meet the technology/environment requirements; technology support will not be provided on exam day. Virtual proctoring was designed and piloted in collaboration between Math, Online Learning, and the Testing Center. 

     

    If you do not meet the requirements for virtually proctored exams, prefer to take your exams in person, and/or have an unavoidable scheduling conflict, be sure to get in touch with me as soon as possible. Alternative testing arrangements can be made for virtual or in-person proctoring at a testing center given adequate notice and depending on testing center capacity and availability. Scheduling appointments with a testing center and communicating with the instructor are the responsibilities of the student, as well as paying any associated fees with using a non-PCC testing center. 

     

    If you have accommodations through Accessible Ed & Disability Resources at PCC, don't hesitate to get in touch with me so we can discuss your specific accommodations and how I can best support you.
