FULLY ONLINE COURSE with PROCTORED EXAMS
This course is asynchronous which means it is delivered completely online. There are no scheduled class meetings. All your course materials and assignments/exams will be accessed through Canvas.
This course requires the use of Proctorio, an online proctoring service, for exams. There is no additional cost to students for the use of this service. To verify your identity, you will need to show a valid government issued photo ID with your name and photograph clearly visible. You may block out or cover any other personal information such as your birthdate, address, or driver’s license/passport number.
Students are required to purchase access to McGraw Hill Connect to participate in this course. Exams for this course will be administered through Canvas/Connect and will use an online proctoring system. The proctoring system requires students to have a computer with a Chrome browser, web camera (stand alone or built into the computer), and a microphone. Loaner laptops are available free of charge to check out for the semester at the Saddleback College Library. Proctorio does not support Chrome OS and iPad OS. Students will be given an orientation and practice assignment with the proctoring software prior to taking exams. This course cannot be completed on an iPad; it requires the use of Canvas and a laptop/desktop with reliable access to the internet.
