1. The Midterm Exam is open book, open notes. The maximum time you can spend in the exam is three hours, 30 minutes. If you have not clicked the Submit for Grading button by then, you will be automatically exited from the exam. In the Midterm Exam environment, the Windows clipboard is disabled, and so you will not be able to copy exam questions or answers to or from other applications.
2. You should click the Save Answers button in the exam frequently.
This helps prevent connection timeouts that might occur with certain Internet Service Providers, and also minimizes lost answers in the event of connection problems. If your Internet connection does break, when you reconnect you will normally be able to get back into your Midterm Exam without any trouble. Remember, though, that the exam timer continues to run while students are disconnected, so students should try to log in again as quickly as possible. The Help Desk cannot grant any student additional time on the exam.
3. See the Syllabus Due Dates for Assignments & Exams for due date information.
4. Reminders:
You will only be able to enter your online Midterm Exam one time, and once you have started the exam the timer will run continuously – you cannot stop it to pause and return.
Click the Save Answers button often.
If you lose your Internet connection during your Midterm Exam, log on again and try to access your Midterm Exam. If you are unable to enter the Midterm Exam, contact first the Help Desk, and then your instructor.
You will always be able to see the time remaining in the Midterm Exam at the top right of the page.
