ProctorU testing in the Summer of 16

[sheptr]

Just an update on the ProtorU, after doing the 5 exams over over the 5 days, I really appreciated being able to choose at will when to test. Due to circumstances that couldn't be avoided or changed, coupled with my incredible powers of procrastination, had me with my back to the wall to at least complete the TECEPS by term end, July 24.
I received a CR in myEdison, for the CIS-107 Computer Concepts and Apps, and MAT-105 Applied LibArt Math, with an IP for the remaing three exams. Not holding my breath on those and will probably be using ProctorU again for at least one of them.
After the 2nd time slogging through the personalidentification/athentication, and verification of my testing space, the last 3 session went without a hitch. I knew if I had 2-3 hours, I could schedule the Take it Now test, spend 10-12 minutes authenticating & verifying, and then still have the majority of the time to complete the exam. Never did find time to get a detachable camera, so I would just spin the laptop in the docking station, and had a hand help mirro and ID ready. Once in a while, when slouching or staring at the ceiling I would be prompted to re-adjust camera so my face could be seen. The prompts were either via chat window or voice.
On more than one occasion my wife could be heard yelling at kids, or the dog would howl up a storm. I asked once to be able to get up and let the dog in, as she was let out by the kids and trying to batter her way through the back door where I was testing. Proctor aproved, it took me 15 seconds and the Proctor had me do the 360 sweeep again, and the mirror check. I appreciated that she was concerned about keeping the integrity of the testing session. I liked my ProctorU experience.
