Student Exam and Grading Guide 2023 2024

EXAMINATION INFORMATION

ExamID Function

We do not use the ExamID facial recognition feature to identify exam takers. Instead, students should show their school or government-issued ID to the camera at the beginning of each ExamSoft exam. Accordingly, in all classes in which the faculty member has chosen a closed book, proctored exam, the Law School will implement remote proctoring (using ExamSoft’s Exam Monitor feature) , but students taking these remote exams are not subject to the facial recognition features of ExamID.

What type of computer or other technology do I need for remote exams?

• Internet Connection (when downloading and uploading exam) • Webcam Required • Microphone Required • 2 GB Free HDD space • 4 GB RAM Required, 8 GB recommended • CPU: Intel, M1, or M2 processor. Devices using Apple’s M1 and M2 processor and Apple Rosetta 2 are supported. • Windows 10 22H2, Windows 11 21H2, and Windows 11 22H2

Remote Proctored (ExamMonitor) Exam

At the start of any remote proctored exam, the system will take your photo. Please hold your student ID (or government-issued ID if you do not have a student ID) up next to your face for the photo and proceed to your exam. There is no need to move your computer to show the space in which you are taking the exam.

Restroom Break or Eat/Drink During Remote Exam

Absolutely. We understand that a quick break might be necessary, just as it is when you take exams in a live proctor situation. If you are taking a quick break, please say out loud that this is what you are doing. This will help us in excluding the quick break from any consideration of irregularities. And because you will be taking the exam in a private setting, there is no concern that eating or drinking will disturb another student. However, you must use clear containers for your food or drink.

Behavior Expected During a Remote Proctored Exam

Students are expected to behave in the same manner they would during a live proctored exam. In addition, the Law School understands that there are variables in a remote test-taking environment and that students cannot always control these variables. Dogs will bark, kids will interrupt, forgetful roommates will blast the TV, neighbors will start the leaf blower, etc. Do your best to minimize disruptions to the extent you can control them. Our goal here is to offer all students a fair exam experience.

Flagged for some issue ExamMonitor thinks is irregular

It is important to note that being “flagged” is only the system notifying us of something that could potentially be an irregularity. Being flagged does not mean that you did anything wrong. Instead, being flagged only means that a human will review the report to see if there is something that occurred that could be a violation of our academic integrity rules. ExamMonitor reports will be treated like the proctor reports that are collected from live proctors when we administer live exams. The Assistant Dean of Academic Services will review the reports, and in the unlikely event that there is something that appears to involve a violation of the exam integrity statement or student conduct rules,
