Final Exam

Instructions

The final exam will be online and is scheduled on Friday, Dec 13 from 6:15pm until 7:45pm CST. The exam is an individual assignment, and is closed-notes and closed-book. You can use your calculator and scratch paper. You must use Respondus LockDown Browser with your camera on. Please ensure that other individuals are not being recorded by Monitor while you are using the tool.

The exam has 20 multiple choice/multiple answers questions. The exam questions will be presented to you in random order one at a time. You will have 90 minutes to complete the exam. For those of you who may have a time conflict on Friday, I will make the exam available starting at 3:00 pm CST. However, make sure to start no later than 6:15pm as the exam will close at 7:45pm sharp regardless of the time you start.

Canvas keeps track of your score and which questions you have seen and for how long. If there are any issues during the exam, such as your computer crashing or your camera not working properly, you will have the opportunity to finish the questions you did not answer, but it will have to be in person in my office. I reserve the right to change some or all the questions.

Material Covered

To prepare for the exam, please read the slides and do the problem sets. The questions will be similar in difficulty to the ones in Problem Set 5.

LockDown Browser + ID + Webcam Requirement

This course requires the use of LockDown Browser and a webcam for the online final exam. The webcam can be the type that’s built into your computer or one that plugs in with a USB cable. You will be required to show your ID at the beginning of the exam.

Watch this brief video to get a basic understanding of LockDown Browser and the webcam feature.

I created a quiz on Canvas with just two questions that requires the use of Respondus. You can try to answer it to check that your computer is working fine.
