Exam Review
Every Wednesday from 12-12:30pm, the program will host an exam review. The purpose of an exam review is to allow every student to review concepts missed in their recent exams. The purpose is NOT to have a discourse (between students or students and faculty) over details of exam items.
Sharing information about the exam with anyone is considered a violation of academic integrity and will result in professional sanction.
The review will happen every Wednesday in Room 131 unless otherwise announced. The review will include any exams that have been completed by ALL learners in the prior 7 days. If the exam included a hand-graded component (that may take longer than 2 days to grade), then that exam may be held over to the next week for review. No phones, paper, pencils, food, drink, etc. are allowed to enter with the student (only the student and their device). If a student wants to participate, they must be present at 12 noon. At 12 noon, the doors will be shut, and no one else will be allowed entry to the room. Students cannot schedule a review outside of this held time (no make-ups). The review period will be 10 minutes per exam (30 minutes maximum per Wednesday review session). Students may NOT ask questions about the exam or for assistance interpreting exam items. If a student continues to have concerns after an exam review, they should consider completing an item appeal following the procedures in the course syllabus and/or scheduling a 1:1 discussion with an instructor to better understand how they are missing concepts.
Appeals to individual exam items should be made via email to the course director with at least two (2) peer-reviewed references to support the student’s perspective within. 48 hours of the exam review. Challenges submitted after the 48-hour deadline will not be considered. Credit for the test item appeal challenge is at the discretion of the course director.
Students with exam scores between 70 and 80 are showing development of knowledge or skills but reviewing the exam with the instructor and making a plan based on that information is recommended for continued growth. Students who score <70 on exams need to make larger strides to master material and must contact their course instructor after reviewing their ExamSoft reports and within a week of the exam to better understand concepts that are unclear and to initiate the remediation process.
Written appeals regarding individual exam items should be sent to the course director via email with at least two (2) peer-reviewed references to support the student’s perspective within 48 hours of the exam review. Challenges submitted after the 48-hour deadline will not be considered. Credit for the test item appeal is at the discretion of the course director.
