(1) Is the Final Exam proctored?

YES!

You must take the Final Exam with the online proctoring service called ProctorU using your own computer. You MUST show a driver's license or an official state ID, military ID, or a passport. All must be UNEXPIRED. Otherwise, you will NOT be tested! The instructor WILL NOT accept excuses such as "I lost my ID" or "My ID was stolen" or "I didn't have time to go to the DMV".

For more information and to make a testing appointment go to https://profstewartmath.com/General/FAQ_ProctorU_Process.html (also on the Canvas Course Home Page)

If you are registered with the CSN Disability Resource Center you need to send the instructor your official Accommodation Letter during the first week of the semester.  Be aware that you might not be able to take the exam if your documentation is sent too late or not at all.

If you want to take the Final Exam at one of the CSN Disability Resource Centers using their proctors instead of ProctorU, you must let the instructor know because the prerequisite needs to be waived.

NOTE: It is up to you to get testing accomplished! There will be no make-ups possible for the Final Exam!

(16) What happens if there is a technical problem while taking the Final Exam?

Talk to the proctor right away if you encounter technical problems. INSIST that he or she contacts the instructor immediately. Do not take "NO" for an answer. You might have to ask for the supervisor. STAY AT YOUR COMPUTER UNTIL THE INSTRUCTOR RESPONDS. NOTE: If you take the Final Exam after 9 PM do not expect for the instructor to respond (she is in bed)! In that case you have no recourse.

NOTE: Taking the Final Exams at the last possible time, and then some unforeseen technology glitch or family emergency occurs, the instructor will not allow a make-up exam. Therefore, it is recommended that you take the Final Exam as soon as it becomes available.
