Technical Requirements for Using Proctorio

The quizzes and the final exam for this course will be proctored electronically using Proctorio to ensure academic integrity for online exams so that all students are evaluated fairly. It is an online proctoring tool that records a video of you, your computer screen, and your room  during the quiz/exam and shares that information with your instructor.

  • if possible, make sure you are the only one using that specific router/modem for internet connection while you are taking an exam
