John Bear Wrote:During my nine years of involvement with the Heriot-Watt University/Edinburgh Business School MBA, which required nine 3-hour proctored exams, thankfully the Scots thrived on the challenge of complicated exam situations: the sailor on a nuclear sub under the polar ice cap (the Captain proctored), the sole literate person in a remote Siberian village (they found an Orthodox Priest two villages away), the 100% paralyzed woman (but she could operate a letter generator through eye motion; they gave her extra time). One of the few they rejected was a missionary couple on a tiny South Pacific island, the only English speakers, they said, who proposed that they proctor each other.
Thank you for the clarification. We are all indebted to the legendary Dr. Bear for raising awareness for distance and nontraditional education. It would appear that TESU is off the table. According to their website, UIU Flex Semester courses aren't proctored. Their traditional self paced paper courses require a proctor. I hope UIU works out because he doesn't appear to have other options.
Thanks again
