Midterm Exam and Final Exam Instructions for Off Campus Proctor

Instructor: Mona Baarson

When it is time for you to take the exam, the proctor will open the appropriately labeled exam envelope and administer the exam to you.  The proctor will sign the exam in the area provided at the top of each exam.  When you have completed the exam, the proctor will put the exam in the return envelope, seal the envelope, sign across the seal of the envelope, and send the exam back to me by the due date. (It is acceptable for either you or the proctor to mail the exam to me once the envelope is sealed.)

Exams will be completed in hand-written format and will be graded

on the completeness of your work (process of doing the problem),

as well as your answer.  In order to receive credit, you must show your work for each problem.  This means that you will receive some credit for a partially complete process (even if the answer is not correct), and you do not get full credit for sloppy or incomplete work (even if the answer is correct). 

All work must be done in pencil.  Papers done in ink will not be graded.

Graphing Calculators may be used on all exams.  However, work done

on the calculator (like graphing functions), still needs to be shown in a neat organized manner on the exams.  The calculator is just a tool, it does not replace the necessary work that needs to be shown.

This is not a timed exam. Most people will be able to finish the exam in two hours, but there is no need to quit working after any particular length of time.

You may use notes for each exam. 

I am not limiting the number of pages of notes.

However, your notes must follow the restrictions listed below.

1. The notes used may not have sample problems.

2. The notes may contain formulas, vocabulary, processes (or steps) of how to do a certain procedure…..but no sample problems.

3. You may use the Trig Handout Sheet and other notes on Concept Rules and Formulas found on the course website

Books may not be used.

Once you are finished working, please return the exam to your proctor.

Proctors: Please use the enclosed envelope to return the test to me. Sign across the seal of the envelope, indicating that the test was administered by you in accordance with the above guidelines. Thank you for your help!

I ask that the “Midterm and Final Exams” be mailed to me (US Mail), using the return envelopes, postmarked by the due date.

“Midterm and Final Exams” will not be accepted late.
