Exam 2 - Proctored Midterm Exam

Opens: Tuesday, June 26th

Closes: Monday, July 9th

This exam will cover Sections 2.5-2.7 and 3.1-3.7

Contact Rachel Phenis at mathca@iue.edu or by phone at 765-973-8210 if you have questions about the proctoring process. For the summer session, it is critical that you plan ahead for your proctor. Rachel will have limited internet access during the month of July. Thus all proctoring arrangements should be settled early in the summer.

Notice that both your proctored Midterm and Module 3 Week 1 span the same two week time frame and close on Monday, July 9th. Plan ahead so that you can enjoy some of this time as a break.

Exam 2 will serve as your proctored Midterm Exam and will be available in WebAssign. Once the exam is opened, you must complete and submit the exam within the time limit provided and in the presence of a proctor. The NSM Math Course Assistant, Rachel Phenis, will provide the necessary instructions and information for accessing the exam to your pre-approved proctor/testing center. If you have not made arrangements for taking your Midterm with a proctor, then you should do so as soon as possible. Contact Rachel Phenis, mathca@iue.edu or (765)973-8210 if you have questions about the proctoring process or arranging for your proctor.

You are expected to complete the proctored Midterm Exam in the presence of a proctor as closed book, with no notes and no other resources. The exam is to be your own work without the use of any resources. You can use scrap paper, pencil, and a calculator during exams. Also, remember to have a photo ID with you, as most proctoring centers require it.

The Midterm will consist of approximately 15 questions, and some of the exam questions will require you to show your work. Watch for the prompt “Show My Work” within the test. There are several options for showing your work: you may use the built-in equation editor, insert a digital image of your handwritten work, or upload a file of your digitally-inked work.

Remember to check out the Midterm Review in WebAssign. In addition to helping your prepare for the actual exam, it will count as bonus toward your midterm grade.

UPLOADING WORK: Many proctoring centers are hesitant (and sometimes prohibit) the use of SmartPhones, Cellphones, Cameras, and other electronic devices. If you want to avoid using the equation editor and instead upload a picture of your written work, make sure you find a proctor who is willing to allow the necessary digital device(s) for loading written work. [[Fair warning, it can be challenging to find a proctor outside of the IUE Testing Center who is willing to allow digital devices during a Midterm or Final.]]

Time limit for Midterm: 120 minutes
