- Use of Technology
Do you allow/encourage students to use any technology on exams? If so, what type (computer, calculator) and what restrictions do you put on their use? Do you include any additional safeguards against cheating based on the technology? Does the technology used on exams correspond to the technology used on homework or in class?
Students are always allowed/encouraged to use a calculator and often a computer as well. We do sometimes safeguard that they are not accessing the internet during an exam. The technology required on exams directly parallels what they have already done during class and on assignments. Students are also encouraged to ask me Minitab questions during the exam, as I am not testing their Minitab knowledge as much as encouraging them to use the technology to expedite their analysis of the data.
