Exam4:\u00a0<\/strong><\/span> Make sure you have downloaded the latest version of Exam4.\u00a0 Ms. Edwards provided instructions, including the link, last week.\u00a0 You can also find the instructions on the Exams & Grades<\/a> page of the website.\u00a0 Complete one or more practice exams so that you are comfortable with the process and the software; be sure to go through the process of obtaining your exam materials when completing the practice exam(s) (see below).<\/p>\n

Exam ID and Password:\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>Ms. Edwards sent your Exam ID and Password by email last week.\u00a0 If you have not received this email, please contact Ms. Edwards at cedwrds2@memphis.edu<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Exam Modes, Exam Display, and Exam Availability\/Schedule:<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span> For each exam, your professor has chosen the Exam Mode (CLOSED, OPEN, OPEN+NETWORK or TAKEHOME), Exam Display (Download\/Print OR On-Screen Viewer), and the Exam Availability\/Schedule (i.e., when you must take the exam and how long you have to take it once you access the materials).\u00a0 Be sure to review all instructions and exam information provided by your professor carefully.\u00a0 Additionally, the Exam Course List<\/strong>, posted on the Exams & Grades<\/a> page, collects this information for all exams in one place.<\/p>\n

Obtaining Your Exam Materials:\u00a0<\/span><\/strong> The number one problem students run into with remote exams is forgetting where or when to obtain their exam materials.\u00a0 As Ms. Edwards noted in her email, you may find it helpful to\u00a0 print\/write down these high-level steps and have them handy when you take an exam:<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0 \u00a0Obtain the exam materials<\/strong> from the Exam4 website<\/strong> (https:\/\/memphiscloud.exam4.com:20763\/<\/a>) by logging in with your Exam ID and Password.\u00a0 Your time will begin running when you get access to the exam materials via the website.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0 \u00a0Open the Exam4 software<\/strong> (if not already open) and go through (or finish) the necessary steps to begin the exam in the software.<\/p>\n

**You may open the software and take preliminary steps before you obtain your exam materials, but DO NOT click \u201cBegin Exam\u201d before you have obtained the exam materials.<\/strong> Some exam modes will lock out internet access. So, make sure you write down\/print the Document ID from the website (for On-Screen Viewer exams) OR download\/print the exam materials from the website before you click \u201cBegin Exam\u201d in the software.\u00a0\u00a0If you forget<\/em>, contact LawExams@memphis.edu<\/a> and LawIT@memphis.edu<\/a>; we’ll get you reset.\u00a0 You won’t lose time because your time doesn’t start until you log in to the website.<\/p>\n

**If your exam requires a Document ID (obtained from the website), do not use your Document ID as your Exam ID in the software.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

3.\u00a0 \u00a0Create your exam answer in the software<\/strong> by typing your essay answer in the text box and (if applicable) selecting your multiple-choice answers in the multiple-choice module.<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0 \u00a0Submit your exam answer<\/strong> via the software.<\/b><\/p>\n
