Got this email from Shmoop
Hey, Shmoopers,
You asked, so we delivered: we're introducing live proctored tests in our ACE CREDIT recommended courses. All Final Exams will now be proctored.
Each final's proctoring session is $23.
Ready for even more good news? If you take a proctored Shmoop exam over the next month, your first session is on us. We'll credit $23 back on your Shmoop subscription fees.* To claim your credit, email support@shmoop.com with your username and proctor date/time, and once we've verified the details we will credit your account.
Still have questions? We've got you covered.
Why did you add proctoring?
Shmoop may be in the business of being funny, but there's no room for funny business when it comes to academic integrity. Many schools are beginning to look for increased security measures (like proctoring) before they decide to accept transfer credit from content providers (like us). So by bumping up our security a bit, we're hoping to expand the opportunities students have to transfer their coursework from Shmoop.
Are the courses still self-paced?
You bet. With proctoring provided by the folks at ProctorU, there are no time restrictions on when you can schedule your final exam sessions. So it's still entirely up to you to choose when you take an exam, where you take an exam (as long as you're the only one in the room), and what you wear to take an exam. Your proctor is gonna love those stylish kitten pajamas.
What about my online privacy?
Taking an exam with the reputable ProctorU isn't so different from taking a test in a real-life classroom. Your online proctor definitely isn't going to cramp your style—or peek at your personal files while you take your test. Pinky promise. Check out the Security/Privacy FAQs here to get the scoop straight from the source.
Any info about Shmoop courses at Thomas Edison State University?
Our fingers are crossed that they'll be big fans of our shiny new proctoring feature like we are, but at this time we do not have an update on whether or not TESU will accept Shmoop courses again. Feel free to check in with an advisor at TESU directly if you have any questions about that. We'll also be sure to give you a shout when we hear anything new.
Whenever you're ready to start Shmooping again, check to see if your equipment supports proctoring.
If you have any additional questions, please give us a shout at support@shmoop.com.
Happy testing!
*User must have a paid subscription at time of proctoring, and proctoring session must occur between June 30, 2018 and July 31, 2018.
