Proctoring for Exams | Essay based for everything else

[Mint Berry Crunch]

I think the confusion here comes from the Brightspace intro course you can take right now. In the course it states that Brightspace uses "Respondus" for proctoring exams/tests, but that only applies if they're doing exams/tests and not going strictly assessments and assignments. I've seen this shared around on Discord and the Sophia-UMPI facebook group also, but again I think it's just the confusion from the Brightspace intro course.

People are saying that there won't be any exams, but I doubt it for classes like math.

I just finished Financial Management last week.  It was the longest, tedious, difficult class for me so far.  You were all so right about that class!  Wow, I am so happiy to have that done!

Did you start back in July? I was curious how that class was. I wonder if Sophia will ever have it.

That's interesting because just this week Jessica has told several currently enrolled students that there will no be exams. She even said Financial Management is moving to problems for the Final Assessment.

thats a relief because that class was a doozy when it had an exam

This is fantastic. Essay / problems for finals is wayyyy better than exams

I concur. I just took EDU 302 at UMPI and it was a fantastic course talking about PBE. I think with the move to PBE, UMPI will eventually just rid itself of exams (I doubt with the math classes though). Its hard to measure competency with an exam.
