Proctored Assessments

There are four proctored assessments in this course. Each proctored assessment is worth 100 points consisting of multiple-choice and matching questions.

Proctored assessments not taken on time will not be allowed to be made up without prior written 24-hour advanced notification and approval. Anything below a 72 is not passing.
