examination schedule.
20.6.4.8 Marking of virtual final exam must be marked by all lecturers within Week 16 until Week 18.
20.6.4.9 Registry Officer will calculate CGPA of their students on Week 19.
20.6.4.10 Registry Officer should present the CGPA of learner(s) to Academic Director by Week 19.
20.6.4.11 Result must be released on Week 20 through Campus System by Registry Officer.
20.6.5.1 Offer an online exam only at one set time so that students in the class cannot form a team and
take the exam sequentially
20.6.5.2 Open up the exam for a stringent period of time. If students are given a multiple-choice exam,
it has been shown that approximately 45 seconds per question is more than enough time for
students who know the material to be able to answer the question and avoid students to do a
Google search or do a search (find tool) in their notes to get the answer.
20.6.5.3 Students will not have enough time to be searching for answers if the timing is only long
enough for them to answer the question.
lxi
20.6.5.4 Present exam questions one at a time. By not having all of the questions on one screen, it makes
taking a screen shot of the exam more difficult.
20.6.5.5 Present exam questions one at a time and do not allow back tracking. This will reduce the
ability of students to finish the exam early and then go back to questions and do a web search
or note search to find the answers.
20.6.5.6 Students should only be allowed to access the exam ONCE. This is difficult since each semester
we have students who call and say that the exam crashed in the middle of taking it. If a student
does have an issue of exam crashed in the middle of taking it, lecturer can see how long they
spent in the exam and which questions they already answered (make a print out of their exam)
and then open the exam again but give them a new time limit and the questions that they can
answer.
20.6.5.7 Design the questions so that they are not all recall questions, which are very easy to look up
on a browser or do a find in their notes while taking the exam.
The procedure of Industrial Training during crisis with the standard procedure is remain the same.
