Remote testing rules:
1. You are required to do an environment check by moving your camera all around your testing area.
2. No smart technology allowed in the same room, other than the computer on which you are testing. (no tablets, smart watches, etc).
3. You may not leave the room for any reason during the exam.
4. If you are booted off the exam, you may retrieve your phone because you must take a screen shot of what it shows when it boots you off and send it to the instructor immediately.
5. If you are booted off, you must immediately attempt to log back in to the exam.
6. No two students (or more) may test in the same room at the same time. Each student should be alone while testing.
Failure to comply with any of the above rules will result in a 10 point reduction in the test grade for EACH infraction. For example, if you get booted off and wait 30 minutes to log back in (which the instructor can monitor) and you don't take a screen shot and send it to the instructor, that will result in a 20 point reduction of your test grade. If you are sick and think you may need to leave to go to the restroom, do NOT begin the exam. Contact the instructor to work out a different time to take the exam.
Cheating: Cheating on any assignments, quizzes, or exams will not be tolerated. Having a smart device on your person during an exam is considered cheating. This course has a zero tolerance policy for cheating. If you are suspected of cheating you will automatically be given an F for your final course grade. The instructor also has the option to remove you from the program without the possibility to re-enroll at a later date (per the Student Handbook, "Course Ethics" section).
