• Exam Grading and Tips

  Proctorio in Canvas

• This is a proctored exam using Proctorio on Canvas. Your web traffic (websites you visit) and your screen will be recorded and monitored during the exam; we will not record video or sound. You can only access the exam with Google Chrome. Please download and install the Google Chrome web browser and the Proctorio Chrome extension if you haven't already.
• You will access your final exam through the EF230 Canvas course site. The links to the multiple choice and coding questions can be found in EF230 Final Exam under Quizzes.
• Important note: You will need to leave the window with your Canvas quiz open while taking the exam in EF230 website! If you close the Canvas window, the proctoring session will end and invalidate your work. When you are done with the exam, make sure to hit "submit quiz".
• You should expect your exam grade to reflect on the EF website, not in Canvas.

  Reminders

• The final exam is cumulative. Review all labs, kahoots, assignments, the midterm and practice exams. Final exam is open book / open web: you may use your m-files and notes, and websearch. You MUST have access to MATLAB.
• Extended time accommodations will only be honored for those taking the final in the SDS testing center.
• The make-up final is Monday May 13 at 8:15AM if you have 3 exams on Friday or a conflict with a simultaneous exam. Submit a missed exam form if you need the makeup exam timeslot by May 7. Requests to take an early/late final at other dates/times will not be honored.
