Exams at UMPI?

[jaceapollo]

Hello,

For the classes that have an exam. I'm assuming some of the math ones... Is it proctored or how does it work?

There are no proctors

There are no proctors

And don't ask for one.

Shh... We don't talk about Bruno, err... Proctors. I think we should leave it at that otherwise they'll incorporate them. Essentially, only a handful of exams are there for courses that have their own learning material, the bulk should be assessments and assignments, so you'll have to do research/writing, there shouldn't be a need for Proctor most of their exams.

The 1st rule of fight club is, you don't talk about fight club. 
The 2nd rule of fight club is, you don't talk about fight club. 

The same rules for Proctors. Lol jk folks.

Hey all, I'm dancing around the forum posts now filling in some final blanks,

I couldn't find anything up to date on this exact issue above, I scoured UMPI's site and couldn't find anything either,
I'm sincerely hoping they haven't changed policies ^^^

is everything in this post still the same as of today? - i.e. fight club?

You're all finally swaying me towards UMPI, I'm feeling fairly educated enough now and hence pretty confident to know what I'm looking at with colleges, but if the above is still accurate as of 2023, I think I may have found my liberal studies degree

As of right now, the situation at UMPI is largely unchanged. However, I do believe that there are fewer exams and more papers now. We do not know what, if anything, will change when UMPI finally completes its move to Brightspace.

I may be mistaken, but I don't think I've seen a single instance where a course that had an exam now has a paper for the final. We thought UMPI would move YourPace to BrightSpace about a year ago, and even Jessica was advising people that it would happen as soon as January of this year, but still nothing. Also according to Jessica, BrightSpace has no exams. So I guess we'll see?

Exams aren't proctored. Don't let that make feel that you can still treat them as open book as in my opinion you still need to know the material. The questions are generally worded in a "tricky" fashion so you really need to understand the material to answer them correctly in most cases. I only had 2 courses with exams and my highest score on an exam was a 85 and I was pumped about that lol.

I think a couple of UL Business courses used to have an exam, but they now have a paper or project? As far as I can remember, ss20ts had a couple of exams that others now report are papers or projects.
