Testing Procedures
To create a fair testing environment for all students, the following test procedures are generally observed for in-class exams:
- Students must show a photo ID with their full and correct name. Husky IDs, passports, and driver's licenses are acceptable forms of identification
- Students are assigned to workstations or seats at random by the instructor
- Students may be moved to different workstations or seats at the discretion of the instructor
- Students may receive different assessments, tests, or work instructions
- Students may be asked to use a lockdown browser or to log into a specific user account with reduced network access privileges
- Any type of cheating will result in a 0 for the assessment, a full two letter reduction in the final course grade, and a report to OSCCR for academic dishonesty.
Syllabus Quiz
All students must take the syllabus quiz and earn a score of 90% in order to pass the course. The syllabus quiz does not count towards a student's grade. The quiz can be taken as often as needed to pass with a score of 90%. The quiz is administered through Blackboard.
Topic Quizzes
Topic Quizzes are located in each topic in Blackboard. Topic Quizzes will count for 5% of the overall grade and the lowest quiz score will be dropped. These will help you to assess the degree to which you understand the lecture content.
