Student Exam and Grading Guide 2023 2024

EXAMINATION INFORMATION

Multiple Choice Examinations

Examinations may be entirely multiple choice or have a multiple choice component.

For the 23/FL In-Person and Remote examinations, students will respond to the multiple choice examinations on Examplify, and will not use scantrons.

If your exam includes multiple choice questions, make sure to select an answer. Do not "strike out" an answer.

Essay Examinations

If your exam includes essay questions as well as multiple choice, the multiple choice questions will come first. You can answer the questions in any order.

Character Count

There will be examinations for which the faculty member will impose restrictions on the number of words or characters. Examplify keeps track of character count and word count, by question, for you.

Remote Examinations

Students who are enrolled in courses offered remotely will take examinations, if scheduled for these courses, remotely on Examsoft/Examplify.

Glossary of Exam Administration Tools

Examsoft: software vendor that owns Examplify , ExamMonitor , and ExamID Examplify: software application (by Examsoft) that allows students to take exams on their laptop ExamMonitor: virtual proctoring software application and service (by Examsoft) that records students while 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 th eir 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.
