- 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?
I'd like to be able to have students use tech on exams, but there aren't enough computes to allow that to happen. If we did do that, we'd have to write lots of versions of the common exam. (Whether or not the course is coordinated, and if so how loosely/tightly, is also a huge issue.) The only thing we let students use is a pencil, tables (provided), cheat sheet, and a scientific (non graphing/non programmable) calculator. They always have to show their work for credit, which is important, I feel.
