- 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?
When I teach in a computer classroom, I allow students to use the computer on exams. They are only allowed to use MINITAB, and aren't supposed to be looking at web sites or emailing! If I am not in a computer classroom, I allow students to use the calculator of their choice, although in this setting I try to make my exams fairly non-computational either by providing computer output or summary calculations. I try to make the technology used on the exams consistent with what we use in class.
