Eastern University

[eleverson]

I applied the other day and in the middle of filling out the application, an advisor called to see if I needed help or any questions answered. Talking about good customer service or just good hustling..lol. Right now my application is under review, will keep you posted.

Thanks for the update. I agree with you, Eastern University seems to have good customer service. I emailed some questions to two different departments, admissions and financial aid. Both departments emailed me a response to answer my questions on the same day.

I'm happy to say that I was accepted in the program and will sign up for my classes on Monday! Yippie!

Congrats! I am curious to know if there are proctored exams or not. I am not opposed to proctored exams and I have done many of them. Eastern University told me there are not any proctored exams, but another person here said that the platform they use has video capture built-in (implying some type of proctoring even if it is not a live proctor i.e. Study.com). 

I would appreciate hearing those types of details and any other thoughts you wish to share. I won't be starting the program for another 5 to 6 months. 

Good Luck!

No problem, I will be happy to share my journey about the program. I was told the same thing that there is not a proctor for exams. I will be able to tell you more about how things go once I start classes. Will keep you posted.

I just received my syllabus and this is what it states when it comes to exams: Additionally, you will need a webcam to take the exams.  We will use proctoring software that requires a webcam so we can ensure academic integrity.
Grading 
Exams (100%)
Following most modules, you will take an exam through Brightspace.  We will be using proctoring software to assure academic integrity, so be sure to take your exams in a quiet, distraction-free environment.  The software will record you as you take your exam, and will track eye movement, so please behave accordingly.


You will be required to earn 80% on each exam before proceeding to subsequent material; however, you will be able to take the exams repeatedly until you earn 80%.


Exams will consist of multiple choice, short answer, and fill in the blank questions.  You will be expected to answer theoretical questions, solve calculations by hand, and answer questions related to relevant lab assignments.
