Exam 1 - Requires Respondus LockDown Browser + Webcam

Exam Information

• If you exceed the allotted time for the exam, you will be informed that you have used all the allotted time, and the only operation you will be able to perform is to submit the exam. You will not be penalized if the timer appears – it is only there to notify you that you have used all the allotted time and can only submit the exam. A countdown timer will start that automatically submits your exam in 10 seconds if you do not choose to do so yourself. 
•      The timer looks like this:
•  The score you see after submitting your exam is not your entire exam score. Long-answer questions need to be manually graded, and fill-in-the-blank answers are reviewed to see if credit should be applied for a close answer that was marked as incorrect. I will post an announcement once all exams have been corrected, complete exam grades are available, and exams are available for review.

Respondus LockDown Browser Information

• Exam 1 will be completed in Canvas using Respondus Monitor LockDown Browser and a webcam. To complete this exam, access it through Respondus LockDown Browser (see Using Respondus Lockdown Browser for instructions).
• No additional electronic devices or websites may be used during an exam, and no collaboration between classmates or help from others is allowed.
• Ensure you're in a location where you won't be interrupted.
• Turn off all other electronic devices (e.g., tablets, phones, second computers).
• Clear your desk of all external materials not permitted - other electronic devices, books, notes, etc.
  
• Remain at your computer for the duration of the exam.

Once you click Start Quiz below, you will follow these steps:

• Agree to the terms of use.
• Complete a webcam check to ensure it's working properly (including audio recording verification). Ensure your webcam is not blocked at any point during the exam; otherwise, a zero will be given for that exam.
  
• Review and follow the guidelines + tips provided.
• Take a photo of yourself using the webcam.
• Take a photo of yourself holding your student ID using the webcam (state ID covering sensitive information is also acceptable). Ensure the ID is held close enough to the webcam that it’s legible in the picture.
• Complete the required environment check by panning your webcam around the room showing all areas including the desktop surface where the computer is located (using the entire laptop or just the webcam if it's external).
• Follow the additional instructions provided in the "Additional Instructions" comment box. No other electronic devices are allowed to be used during an exam; the exam must be taken with no help from any other people.
• Complete the facial detection check.
  
• Begin the test. Stay focused on your test at all times until completed, and ensure that your face stays in the frame for the entire webcam recording.
• Explain into the webcam any interruptions that occur during the exam.
• The videos taken by Respondus will be reviewed for adherence to the course testing policies.

To produce a good webcam video, do the following:

• Ensure you take the exam in a quiet location where you will not be interrupted by other people or excessive noise.
• Avoid wearing baseball caps or hats with brims.
• Ensure your computer or tablet is on a firm surface (a desk or table) - not on your lap, a bed, or another surface that might move.
• If using a built-in webcam, avoid tilting the screen after the webcam setup is complete.
• Take the test in a well-lit room and avoid backlighting, such as sitting with your back to a window.
