Proctor Your Own Midterms/ Finals


In order to prepare your students to take the exam on Zoom, please send them the following instructions:

 

  1. You may only use a computer or laptop. No iPads, mobile devices, or Chrome books may be used.

  2. You will be required to share your entire computer screen (including the task bar at the bottom of your screen). Please test this out on your device prior to the session to be sure that it works for you. At the bottom of your Zoom screen, click Share Screen. Choose the picture on the top row, all the way to the left (it may be designated as “Desktop” or “Screen”).

  3. You must click here for a tutorial that explains how to prepare your computer before coming to Zoom. If you need additional help, please email itsupport@sarasch.myiqsolutionsllp.in.

  4. You will be required to keep your microphone unmuted for the duration of the exam. Therefore, you must be in a quiet room with no background noise while taking your exam.

Make sure you have enabled the setting “Zoom Background Noise Removal > High” in your Zoom Audio Settings.


  1. You may not exit the Zoom session until your test is submitted on Blackboard/Canvas and the instructor gives you permission to leave. If you leave before this, you will receive a 0 on the exam.



Please follow the instructions below to proctor your exam.

  2. Ask each student to share their entire screen.

Student should select the top left screen that appears when they click “Share Screen.” They should not select individual window(s) to share.
