EXAMINATION INFORMATION

they take their exams

ExamID:

software application (by Examsoft) that uses facial recognition technology to verify a student’s identity. This functionality will not be used in any of Suffolk’s fall final examinations.

ExamMonitor Virtual Proctoring : Students are recorded using their computer’s video camera while they are taking their exams. The recordings are uploaded with students’ exam answers after the exam and are processed and reviewed at a later time. An internet connection is not required during the exam. All monitoring recordings are forwarded to the school. ExamMonitor implements a combination of AI software algorithms and human validation to mark certain recordings for review by the law school. ExamMonitor does not employ facial recognition technology. It is entirely up to the school (the deans and faculty) to determine whether to pursue any matter with a student. Based on prior experience, this is rare. Routine activities such as restroom breaks are expressly permitted and will not be problematic.
