Exam 2 - Proctored Midterm Exam

Opens: Tuesday, February 26th

Closes: Monday, March 4th

This exam will cover concepts from Module 1 and Module 2

Exam 2 will serve as your proctored Midterm Exam and will be available in MyMathLab. Once the exam is opened, you must complete and submit the exam within the time limit provided and in the presence of a proctor. Your instructor 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 Midterm Exam 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.

Remember to check out the Exam 2 Review in MyMathLab. 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. Such devices have been pre-approved for local students at the IUE Testing Center. If you are a distance education student and plan to find a proctor in your geographic region, be sure to talk with your proctor in advance about how to best submit your "Show Work".
[[ALERT: If you plan to use Examity as your proctor, then you will not be permitted to load written work. You will have to type your answers into the MyMathLab "Show Work" space for the Midterm or Final.]]

Time limit for Midterm: 120 minutes

The following message will be sent to your proctor prior to your exam if you are working with the IU East Testing Center or finding a proctor in your geographic region.

Attention: <proctor name>
Subject: MATH-M125 Proctor Information
M125 Student: <student name>

Thank you for your willingness to help <student name> by proctoring the MATH-M125 Final Exam. As mentioned in our phone conversation, you are welcome to have someone within your testing facility (non-student) proctor this exam on your behalf. Below is the exam password and instructions for the exam.

The exam process should be familiar to the student. It is the same process that has been used for testing throughout the course. The only change is that this Exam is proctored and you (the proctor) will need to enter a password for the test to begin. Please do not give the password to the student as I will be using the same password for everyone in the course. When the student is ready to begin, have the student log into the course, open the Final Exam, and then you can enter the password.

The student has up to 120 minutes for the Final Exam. This time will be clocked automatically via the Pearson MyLab system once the exam is opened. The student cannot use any notes. However, the student is allowed to use a calculator, pencil, and scrap paper. Please be sure to keep the students scrap paper and shred it once the test is completed.

If you are willing to supervise the use of scanner, cell phone, digital camera, or a digital inking device, then the student may use said items to obtain a digital file of his/her written work under your supervision for the “Show Work” questions on the test. There are typically 10-12 questions on the exam; 3-4 of them require the student to “Show Work”. If you do not wish to supervise the use of additional electronics, then please ask the student to use the equation editors built into the exam to enter his/her work for those questions. Once the student has loaded any necessary files into MyLab, please be sure electronic files are deleted from the students electronic device before leaving the proctoring location. As an alternative, you (the proctor) may scan the student’s “Show Work” and email it to me directly at the conclusion of the exam.

MATH-M125 Midterm Exam Password: ******

Again, I appreciate your time and effort as a proctor.

If you have any questions, please email mathca@iue.edu or email the course instructor at neewilso@iue.edu.
