EXAMS

Since this is a distance course, you will be asked to take two  proctored exams. These are necessary so that ELI can assure the accrediting boards that the course work is actually done by the student enrolled. You may take these exams at any NVCC Testing Center.

If it is not possible for you to get to an NVCC Testing Center, you may arrange for a proctor at another location. If you need a proctor, go to the ELI Policies and Procedures Screen. Select the link for Examination Proctors, from the Table of Contents, for information on how to arrange for a proctor. 

You need to pass both exams with at least a D (at least 60%) in order to pass the course. 

Click on Exam Passes to go to the passes for your two exams. Print them out and take the appropriate one to the Testing Center for each exam (e.g. pass 1 for the Midterm Exam and pass 2 for the Final Exam). You will also need a photo ID  and your emplid (this is your college identification number) when you go to the Testing Center to take an exam.

Although you may not bring books to the exams, you may bring preparation materials (web site printouts, notes, a plan sheet or an outline, but not actual drafts). Any materials you bring with you will be collected by the Testing Center and sent to me at ELI. You will not receive either the exam or the materials back, so please do not bring materials you want to keep, unless you have other copies of them.

After I read your exam, I will send you an email note with your grade and my comments. The exams are un-timed, so you can write without feeling pressured. You should not find these exams difficult, because you will have prepared for each one by doing the course work for the unit.

The Midterm Exam  is worth up to 100 points and the Final Exam is worth up to 200 points.

NOTE: This entire COURSE GUIDE is subject to revision according to the instructor's judgment of the needs of the class.
