Quiz & Exam

IMPORTANT: Quizzes and exams will be proctored online using two-device proctoring. This means you are required to have: 1) A computer for viewing the exam, 2) A mobile device/tablet/second computer with camera for live video feed of your desk/workspace, 3) Sufficient Internet connection to stream your live video feed.
How to position your phone

Quiz

  • There will be 6 quizzes and one lowest quiz grade will be dropped.
  • The quiz will occur in the first half-hour of every Thursday lecture starting from the second week. There are no scheduled make-up quizzes. If you have an unavoidable medical or personal emergency, an exception might be granted. To be eligible for a make-up quiz, you must notify the instructor (not a TA) before the scheduled starting time of the quiz, and you must fully document your absence.
  • Coverage: Each quiz will cover the previous week's materials.
  • The quizzes will be open-book, open-notes.

Final

  • Date: Saturday, August 6, 2022, 1:00-3:00 PM (central time)
  • Coverage: Comprehensive

Academic Integrity

Students are expected to abide by the University of Illinois Student Code. Any academic integrity violations will result in a FAIR report. Furthermore, the penalty will be as follows:
  • A score of 0 (zero) on the assignment or quiz or exam where the academic integrity violation occurred.
  • A second offense results in a grade of F for the course.
  • Note that the standard of proof for a finding of infraction is “more likely than not”. This means I only need to show with 51% certainty that you committed the offense for the allegations to go on your record.

The following is a partial list of academic integrity violations for this course:
  • Copying homework or lab solutions from other students (working together and discussing is acceptable)
  • Copying homework or lab solutions from past solutions
  • Using websites such as Chegg or Course Hero while completing any course assignments or quizzes or exams
  • Using unauthorized materials during quizzes or exams
  • Violating CBTF proctoring policies
  • Communicating with any person during quizzes or exams
  • Discussing the exam with any person within 24 hours of exam completion
  • Not an academic integrity violation: Distributing any course material without authorization. This includes uploading homeworks/solutions and exam solutions to web sites, or sharing these documents with people not enrolled in the course. Although not an academic integrity violation, it is a violation of the law and I will refer you to U.S. Attorney's Office for prosecution under The Digital Millennium Copyright Act.
