MATH-M126 Final Exam

Student Instructions and Proctor Instructions

Student Instructions: Read each one carefully and completely.

In advance of your test time, arrange with your proctor the method you will use for entering your “Show My Work”.
Meet with your proctor at the agreed upon time and place.
Be sure you have everything you need – picture ID, paper for working out the problems, pencil, calculator. Some proctors will require that you use their paper and not your own.
You may use a scientific calculator as needed. NO cell phones or other electronic devices with calculator apps as calculators.
Your cell phone is to be turned off and put away before the Final Exam begins. If you use it to upload digital images of your work into MML, you may take it out at that time for that purpose only - if you are using Examity, you must use the equation editor in MML to show work.
You may use the Trig Formulas sheet that I posted in Canvas - your proctor will have a copy - If using Zoom proctoring through the IU East Testing Center, you may print out a clean copy of the formula sheet to use - this must be destroyed at the conclusion of the exam.. There should be NO other marks on the sheet.
Get familiar with the computer you will be using if it is not your own. Make sure everything associated with MML is operating as it should.
The Final Exam has short answer questions and Show My Work problems. Use your time wisely.
For the Show My Work questions:

Your solutions are to show ALL of your work not just the answer. You will be graded on the development of your solution paths.
I have left additional bolded instructions for Show My Work problems in MML. Look for the instructions so that you can answer the question completely.
Your solutions should be neat and follow a logical presentation. Don’t assume that your instructor will hunt for information.
Indicate your final answer by some method -- box, asterisks (unless the final answer is the graph). Write a sentence that explains your final answer.
If you upload a file into the “Show My Work” box, please have your proctor supervise the process of taking a picture, sending the digital image, uploading the digital image into the box, and erasing the image from your electronic devices/computer.
If you use the MML math editor, you need not worry about the previous bullet instruction.
If using Examity, you must use the equation editor.

While working on this exam, you may not use any outside resource such as a book, notes, web source, or another person, either directly or indirectly. (Exception: see #6 above) This exam is to be your own work. Your computer should not be opened to any other website. The only exception is your personal email IF you are uploading a digital image in the “Show My Work” box.

Proctor Instructions:

Please review the student instructions above and make sure they are adhered to by the student while taking the exam.
Please check the student’s picture ID so that you can verify the person taking the exam is the correct person.
The Final Exam is in the web-based program MyMathLab. Most of the Exam problems require that the student enter just the answers. They will use “scratch” paper for their calculations. Some problems require that the student enter the solution path for each problem into a “Show My Work” box.
Clarify with the student which of two methods he/she uses to enter the required information into the Exam for Show My Work problems. If using Examity, the student must use the equation editor.

One path is directly into the box by MML math editor.
The second path has the student create a digital image of their work.
With this method, the student may write out the solution on paper, make a digital image of the paper, and upload that digital image into the “Show My Work” box. This may require the use of their email, camera, cell phone or electronic device (for taking a digital picture).
Or, with this method, the student may use a pen-and-ink computer which creates a digital image of their work on the computer screen. The student then uploads this image into the Show My Work box.
Please supervise the process to ensure that the student is only entering their solutions and not consulting with other resources.
Please verify that the student has removed all Exam digital images from their electronic devices and email.

When the student is ready to begin the Exam have them log into MML and click on the Final Exam. You must enter the Password for the Exam to open. The student has a maximum of 180 minutes for the exam. MML will automatically close the Exam at the end of the allotted time.
The student may use the Trigonometric Formulas sheet that I sent to you, please print it off and have available for the student. Please collect this sheet and any scratch paper the student uses at the end of the exam.
Please observe the student so that you can verify that they have not used any other materials for the Exam besides paper, pencil, calculator, and Formulas sheet (No cell phone or other electronic devices with calculator apps may be used for calculator).
Your student knows the details of the Exam procedure because they have followed these instructions for Exams throughout the semester.
If you have any questions or the student experiences technical issues with MML, feel free to email me at KKoger@iu.edu or call me at 765-277-1240. If I cannot be reached please contact Neena Wilson at neewilso@iu.edu, or call 765-973-8368. Neena is Director of the Math & Science Resource Center at IUE and has access to MML.

Thank you for helping this student complete their Indiana University East MATH-M126 Trigonometric Functions course. I appreciate your time and involvement.
