Exam Protocol


Closed book, closed note.

No iPods, cell phones, or other electronic devices.

No water bottles on the desk.

Anticipate that you may not be allowed a bathroom break and attend to your personal needs accordingly.

Write neatly in pencil.

You may be assigned a specific seat.

Anticipate that you may be asked to deposit your backpack, purse, etc at the front of the room.

Please ask the instructor for assistance if a question is ambiguous or you aren't sure how to get started.

The point value of each question is shown on the exam in parentheses.

No hoodies or earphones.

If you arrive so late that the first person has already finished the exam you won't be given an exam.

The instructor will announce "time's up" at which point you should quickly submit your paper. If the instructor leaves the room and your paper isn't in his possession you get a zero.
