Straighterline Proctored and Closed Book

[Daithi]

I took three finals today. Western Civilization I & II and Business Communication. I didn't have any problems with the first two, but when I went to take the Bus. Comm. course the proctor said it was closed book. First I argued, then I had to log on to the StraighterLine site, navigate to the course, and show the proctor that it was open book.

While doing that I noticed that if I finished the quiz portion early I could use the left over time on the written portion. So, after arguing with the proctor, I didn't bother with the book. I just read the questions and answered them as quickly as I could to give myself as much time as possible to write the Short Report.

I passed the two Western Civilization courses and think I passed Business Communication. I got 85% on the Bus. Comm. final quiz without using the book, and now I'm just waiting on getting grades on all the written reports I turned in.
