Hi everyone,

Today is our “test run” for the new exam-taking process. Please READ the instructions below, and COMPLETE all the steps. NOTE: This is not a ‘real’ exam, although it is required – it will not count towards your grade, but it will serve to record your attendance in today’s class. The primary purpose is to make sure everyone can successfully navigate the technology – WeBWorK, taking photos & combining them into a single pdf, uploading work. If you have any trouble with any of the steps, please reach out to me by email or on the OpenLab – let’s figure it out together!

Exam Instructions – (Exam opens at 10am)

Step 1: Complete the exam in WeBWorK.

• The exam is called A Practice Exam about pets and appears in the Homework Sets area.
• The exam will be available for just over 24 hours, from 10:00am Tuesday 4/21/20 through 11:40am Wednesday 4/22/20 – you can start the exam whenever you like during this period.
• You will have 2 hours to complete the exam from the time you start it (WeBWorK will keep track of this for you – you must submit your answers within two hours of starting).
• Please choose a time to complete the exam that provides you with the best opportunity to work uninterrupted.
• You must complete each of the problems on paper (see Step 2) – this is not required for the practice exam – instead of written work, you will submit two pictures of your pets).
• When you complete the exam, enter your answers and submit them in WeBWorK.

Step 2: Upload your written work as a single pdf file to the link provided (in the case of this practice exam, submit two pictures of your favorite pet/pets).

• You must submit your written work within 30 minutes of completing the exam.
• Please take clear photographs of your written work (one photo per page). For the practice exam, please take two photos of your favorite pet/pets – OR, if you don’t have pets or prefer not to share them, take photos of any item or location in your home that is helping you get through this difficult time).
• Combine all the photos into a single pdf file. If you need help with this, see the box “Tips for combining photos on various devices” below.
• Upload the pdf file by clicking the following link: https://www.dropbox.com/request/au96estQQDVxF7GnTqtz

Step 3: You’re done – great work! If you had any trouble with the instructions above, please let me know. Information about our next “real” exam will be coming later this week.

Final note: Since this is a Practice Exam only, we also have a lesson today – keep your eyes peeled for Lesson 19, appearing at 10am!
