Virtually Proctored Exams: Proctored exams are one of many assessment tools used in MTH to assess student learning.

The Quizzes and 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 quizzes (40 minutes), midterm and final, must be taken during class time and virtually proctored in the Zoom meeting with closed notes and books.

If you do not meet the requirements listed above, prefer to take your exams in person, and/or have an unavoidable scheduling conflict, please contact me as soon as possible. With adequate notice, alternative testing arrangements can be made at a testing center. Scheduling appointments with a testing center and paying any associated fees with using a non-PCC testing center is the student's responsibility.
