- 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?
In all my statistics examinations, calculators are allowed. In some of my examinations, items are given that require use of a computer. For example, students might be given a small data set and asked to compare two-groups using an independent samples t-test. As such, the technology used on examinations corresponds to the technology used on homework and in class. When technology is used by students in examinations, I do not take extra safeguards to minimize student cheating.
