Portland Community College | Portland, Oregon

As an online learner, make sure you are prepared to motivate and re-motivate yourself toward your goals throughout this term. Online learning often requires more internal and self-motivation for success without the constant live in-person reminders and interactions that come with seated classes.

Proctored Exams: Proctored exams are one of the many assessment tools used in MTH/STAT courses to assess student learning. For in-person sections, exams are proctored in-person on campus during class time. For remote sections, exams are primarily proctored virtually by the instructor in Zoom during remote class time. For online sections, exams are primarily proctored virtually by the instructor in Zoom on dates/times scheduled by the instructor. 

The exams for this class will be proctored virtually by me (your instructor) on the following dates and times. You will have two options for each exam. Please make every concerted effort to attend my virtually proctored exams listed below. 

• Midterm either
  • Fri, Feb 13, 9am-11am (check in between 8:30 and 8:50) via Zoom OR
  • Fri, Feb 13, 7pm-9pm (check in between 6:30 and 6:50) via Zoom
• Cumulative Final Exam either
  • Tues, March 17, 9am-11am (check in between 8:30 and 8:50) via Zoom OR
  • Wed, March 18, 7pm-9pm (check in between 6:30 and 6:50) via Zoom

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, please contact 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 is the responsibility 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, please contact me so we can discuss your specific accommodations and how I can best support you. 

If you have any questions or concerns about virtually proctored exams, please feel free to contact me.

This is an online class that does not have scheduled meeting times. However, there will be scheduled exam times periodically. You will need a calculator for basic arithmetic. You may find it helpful to have a calculator that can use parentheses, do fraction arithmetic, and interpret order of operations on its own, but this is not required.
