Welcome to Module 4

Welcome to Week/Module 4.

For this week's assignments, you will complete the midterm lecture exam and Chapter 22 - The Respiratory System.

You will access the exam in Canvas. The exam is 50 questions and is worth 100 points. You will have one attempt on the assignment. The assignment is timed. You will have 60 minutes to complete the exam. Do not open the exam until you are ready to complete the exam. Your time will begin once you open the exam. The exam will cover the NS Review, the Endocrine System, Blood, the Heart, and the Vascular System chapters. The exam is based on your homework and lab assignments and the learning objectives in each weekly Canvas module.

Please remember the use of resources, such as phones, other computers, notes, books, and any other resources is prohibited during the assessment. Violations of this policy will receive a zero for the midterm exam and I will be required to report the violation to the Dean. Academic Integrity: Academic dishonesty is also destructive to the College community, which is grounded in a system of mutual trust and places a high value on personal integrity and individual responsibility. Please refer to Policy 5.15: Academic Integrity Policy in our Policy Manual (Links to an external site.).

LockDown Browser
This course requires the use of a LockDown Browser for online exams. Watch this brief video to get a basic understanding of LockDown Browser feature. https://www.respondus.com/products/lockdown-browser/student-movie.shtml

Download Instructions

Select a quiz from the course
If you have not already installed LockDown Browser, select the link to download the application and follow the installation instructions
Return to the quiz page in a standard browser
LockDown Browser will launch and the quiz will begin

Note: LockDown Browser only needs to be installed once per computer or device. It will start automatically from that point forward when a test requires it.

Guidelines
When taking an online exam, follow these guidelines:

Select a location where you are comfortable having a video recording taken of yourself and your workspace environment. This area should be free of distractions and interruptions.
Turn off all other devices (e.g. tablets, phones, second computers) and place them outside of your reach
Before starting the test, know how much time is available for it, and also that you've allotted sufficient time to complete it
Clear your desk or workspace of all external materials not permitted - books, papers, other devices
Remain at your computer for the duration of the test
If the computer, Wi-Fi, or location is different than what was used previously with the "Webcam Check" and "System & Network Check" in LockDown Browser, run the checks again prior to the exam
To produce a good webcam video, do the following:
- Avoid wearing baseball caps or hats with brims
- Ensure your computer or device is on a firm surface (a desk or table). Do NOT have the computer on your lap, a bed, or other surface where the device (or you) are likely to move
- If using a built-in webcam, avoid readjusting the tilt of the screen after the webcam setup is complete
- Take the exam in a well-lit room, but avoid backlighting (such as sitting with your back to a window)
Remember that LockDown Browser will prevent you from accessing other websites or applications; you will be unable to exit the test until all questions are completed and submitted

Getting Help
Several resources are available if you encounter problems with LockDown Browser: Lockdown Browser Student Support

The Windows and Mac versions of LockDown Browser have a "Help Center" button located on the toolbar. Use the "System & Network Check" to troubleshoot issues. If an exam requires you to use a webcam, also run the "Webcam Check" from this area
24/7/365 Live Chat Support is also available from the Help Center, or from within the "it's not working" troubleshooter.
QC is here to support you.

It is your responsibility to have the necessary skills to manage the hardware and software systems of this course. If at any time you need help getting started or navigating through this course.
With all technical questions, feel free to contact the QC IT support
Respondus has a Knowledge Base available from support.respondus.com. Select "LockDown Browser & Respondus Monitor" as the product to view helpful articles.
If you're still unable to resolve a technical issue with LockDown Browser, go to support.respondus.com and select "Submit a Ticket". Provide detailed information about your problem and what steps you took to resolve it

In addition to the midterm exam, you will also complete the respiratory system, chapter 22. You will complete a homework assignment, lab assignments, and a quiz in Mastering. The Respiratory System will begin your content for the final exam. Please review the learning objectives for this unit as a study guide for the quiz and for the final exam.

Both the Midterm Exam and the Mastering assignments will open on 11/20/24 at 12 am and are due on or before 11/26/24 by 11:59 pm. Please review the grading policy for late assignments.

As always, should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
