This course includes the option to take exams at home, using an online exam proctoring service - Examity. This service has been thoroughly vetted and is also being used in courses at the university level.

Students intending to use the free Examity proctoring option should be aware of the following:

You will need a functioning webcam, microphone, and speakers.
You will be required to upload an image of a photo ID (use a cellphone or scanner) and then present this ID at the beginning of the exam.
During the exam, you must allow the Examity proctor temporary keyboard control (you will just click ‘allow’ when prompted) for them to type in the exam access code.
Before taking an exam, or the suggested practice exam, you MUST click the 'Examity Page' link found in the Syllabus. Then click 'Load Examity in a new Window' - this creates a registration link between you and the course in the Examity system. If you only enter Examity through a different course, the exams from this course will not be listed.
The first time you use Examity you will need to create a 'student profile' and set security questions (many of these are oriented towards adults, so please choose ones you can reasonably answer). You should test your computer system to see if it satisfies all requirements.

More details and instructions about Examity can be downloaded here.

A practice exam for Examity is available here. We highly recommend scheduling this practice exam with Examity before using the service on an actual exam. (The practice exam is trivially easy, but it should make things go much smoother during your actual exam. You will have already solved any technical problems.) To take the practice exam, you will need to complete this Exam Application.

If you choose to use the online proctoring option (rather than in-person proctoring), then when submitting your exam application simply select "Examity" as your proctor choice.
