Test Content
Test 2 will cover the material covered in unit 3 of this class, although to do so it might also reference content from units 1 and 2. The exam will consist of 20 five-answer multi-correct multiple-choice questions. You will have 60 minutes to complete the exam, and you are permitted to use books, notes, or the course video material. You may not interact with anyone during the exam, but you may visit the course Piazza forum if you would like as long as you do not post.
Getting Started with Proctortrack
This semester, we’ll be having at least one proctored exam in this class. We administer proctored exams using a tool called Proctortrack by Verificient. Proctortrack uses your webcam, microphone, and screen capture to proctor your exam. These instructions will take care of getting you set up with Proctortrack so you will be ready when the exam window opens.
The first thing you’ll want to do is complete the onboarding test. The onboarding test ensures your computer is ready to run Proctortrack and administer your exam. Accessing the onboarding test also ensures that you can access your Proctortrack account.
First, go to testing.verificient.com. On the right, you’ll see the account login area. Your username is your official Georgia Tech email address, not your alias. This is always <your Georgia Tech username>@gatech.edu; your Georgia Tech username is the one you use to log into T-Square. Typically, your login email will look something like djoyner3@gatech.edu, although it may look more like daj3@gatech.edu or gth815k@gatech.edu.
You may have received your password in an email. If so, enter that password to log in. If not, walk through the Forgot Your Password dialog (found below the login box) to reset your password and log in.
After logging in, you will see a list of available tests. Generally, the onboarding test will always be available. It will remain available even after you’ve completed it once so that you can set up new computers if need be. Click the onboarding test, follow the prompts to install the software, and complete the onboarding process.
Once you have completed the onboarding test, you’re ready to go! Once the exam opens, you’ll follow a different set of instructions to complete the exam itself.
Taking a Proctortrack-Hosted Exam
Any time between the open time and close time, log into Proctortrack at testing.verificient.com. Remember, your login name is <your Georgia Tech username>@gatech.edu. Your username is the one you use to log into T-Square and, for most people, looks like djoyner3 (although for some it may look like daj3 or gth815k).
After logging in, you will see this class’s exam visible. Click the exam to begin taking the test, then submit the test when you are done. This exam is open-book, open-note.
After you’re done with the test, make sure to leave Proctortrack open while it uploads your test data. This may take some time. If you lose power or your computer restarts before data submission is complete, reopen Proctortrack when your computer returns to finish uploading data.
Late work is not accepted without advanced agreement except in cases of medical or family emergencies. In the case of an emergency, please contact the Dean of Students.
Grading Information
This test is graded out of 100 possible points. Your grade and feedback will be returned to you via T-Square. An announcement will be made via Piazza when grades are returned.
