Rules and requirements for the test today

1. You will need to have :

• Your laptop or desktop.
• A quiet and private space with a desk or table to take your exam.
• The zoom app installed on your platform (desktop, laptop or phone). 
• A webcam set up on your platform, or failing that your phone must have the zoom app installed.  (you should make sure that your laptop or phone is plugged in, because it would probably affect your score negatively if you ran out of power in the middle of the exam)
• Your own blank paper, about ten sheets should be more enough. 
• Your calculator. Please review the section on calculators in the syllabus, because we will inspect your calculator. 
• pencil and paper. 
• ZOOM VIRTUAL BACKGROUND MUST BE TURNED OFF.

2. The test will be administered and answers will be entered on the webwork platform. 

• You will need to have access to webwork during the exam.
• The exam will be called "test" in webwork. It will open and become visible at 4:45; you should have webwork open before this time, and reload webwork at this time. 
• MAKE SURE YOU CLICK THE "SUBMIT" BUTTON so that your answer is recorded.
• Using the "CHECK ANSWERS" button will not give you useful information. It is deliberately set up to give the wrong answer--sometimes. So feel free to use but don't trust the result. Click the SUBMIT button anyway with your answer when you are ready. 
• Make sure (if you want your scratch work to be considered in your grading, which you do) that your scratch work on paper is neatly organized and each section is labeled with the problem number, as well as clear indication of which calculation you are performing. 

3. Please be on time to class today. Your camera must be on, and your microphone on and unmuted the until you check out.  You will arrive in the zoom space in the waiting room, make sure your speakers are turned up at this time. I and the proctor will check you in one at a time: this will involve showing your id next to a view of your face, a room scan with the camera as well as showing us your scratch paper and calculator.  At this point TURN DOWN your speakers until you are ready to check out.  After you are checked in and until you have finished checking out your camera must have a view of the room.   

4. When you are finished with the exam and wish to leave the zoom meeting you need to check out with me or the TA. When and been checked out, your checkout time will be recorded in our gradebook. From this time you have TEN MINUTES to lay out your scratch work in test order, then use your phone to photograph each sheet of your scratch paper in test order and email me the photos.  I suggest your practice this ahead of time, by photographing some sheets of paper and emailing them to yourself, while a timer is running. 

5. I suggest that you review this information this afternoon before the exam starts, as it may improve and improve during the course of today.
