DIRECTIONS FOR YOUR ONLINE EXAMS
(1)  The day before the exam I will send individual emails to each student with the link to use in order to call up the  first step of the exam.

Unless you have informed me otherwise, I will either use the email address that you put down when you registered for this session or semester or the email address that you have been using for your most recent assignments.

The link will look something like this: http://www.internetlogic.org/21examcall22.html

(2)  When you are ready for your exam but no later than two hours before the deadline for submission, call up the link you were sent (not all students will have the same link).  Make sure you have two hours uninterrupted access to the Internet.   This page asks you to fill in your name, email address, and your promise not to use any other help for the exam apart from your own books--including the website material--and notes  (you may not, for instance, use a search engine such as Google--and any reasonable indication that you have done so will invalidate your test).  When you hit the submit button the actual exam will appear.

(3)  Your exam with its directions will now appear on the screen.  When you have completed the exam, again hit the submit button.  This must be within the two hours from the time you first called up the exam by  hitting the previous submit button.  An exam that runs over this time limit will be invalidated.

(4)  If you have any problems with receiving or submitting the exam, please notifiy me immediately by email  (dmcf34@yahoo.com).

(5)  Your scores will be posted on the grades web page once I have received all the exams and had a chance to grade them.  If for some reason I have invalidated your exam (it went over time or there is a reasonable indication of not having followed my instructions about outside assistance, including the use of a search engine), I will contact you and provide instructions on what you will need to do next in order to receive a grade.  For a final exam, you would have an "incomplete" recorded until you make up what is needed.

(6)  Having exams online rather than on campus or in a proctored situation off campus is primarily a convenience for online students, and it is a privilege and not a right.  Although I do ask for a pledge of honesty,  I do have to allow for the possibility of abuse and for that reason the form of the exam itself may very well be different from what I would have in a classroom situation.  The most significant restriction I have is on the the use of a search engine.  You may continue to access the class materials that were already posted on the Internet, but you may not Google an answer. 

Please note this:  there may be questions on the exam for which the answer could come only from using a search engine during the test itself.  These are trap questions, and the answers do not actually count toward your grade but could result in your test being invalidated.
