Examination Policies


1 Collaboration

Exams are "open book" but you must work entirely on your own.

2 Delivery of Exams

Each exam will be delivered as a .doc file.

3 Formatting Answers

You may work in a word processor, editor/IDE, or other tool. However, before you submit you answers, you must insert them into the .doc file in the appropriate place. You may also print the exam and write your answers by hand.

4 Submission

You must submit a single .pdf file (containing the questions and your answers) using Canvas. You can create the .pdf file using a word processor (e.g., by exporting the document as a .pdf or printing the document to a .pdf, depending on the word processor) or by scanning a "hard copy" (e.g., using the Adobe Scan app for iPhone/Android or using a scanner).

5 Getting Help

I will be available for clarification questions only, during the scheduled meeting time via the normal course telepresence tool (at the "Office Hours" meeting code) and via email.
