As the student, I’m responsible  for reading  the honorlock page found in the canvas “START HERE” module that Prof. Melendez created for students to get familiar with how to use this tool to take my exams.  It is required for test takers to run the Honorlock Desktop App for the duration of their test. You will be prompted to download and install the Honorlock application when they launch their test. You may also download with  links in advanced: Windows: link found in syllabus MacOS: link found in syllabus Be aware! Enabling this feature will require students to install and run an application, which may not be permitted on managed or restricted devices, such as a shared computer or in a computer lab. Use practice test to see how this works on your device before trying to take the first real exam. 

These are the guidelines you must adhere to during ALL exams…

These are the guidelines you must adhere to during ALL exams when using HONORLOCK for this course. (Other professors might have different guidelines): Students need to do a Workspace scan during authentication process. Please read this guide before takin any exams;  link on canvas for : “Workspace Scan – Test Taker Guide . Please go to the class modules, to check out  “Honorlock information  and testing guidelines” page and review the link to a video titled:  “how to do a proper room scan”. You will receive this message when opening an exam: “This exam uses Honorlock and requires a Workspace Photo for authentication. You will need a smartphone for this step. You will be asked to scan a QR code and take a single photo of your entire desk and workspace. You must put phone away and off when done with this step.” If you do not have a smartphone, you can use your webcam as an alternative for a video room scan.”  Here (in the canvas page) are the instructions for that: “Completing a Room Scan Using Honorlock link” You need a webcam pointing at you at all times. View of the test taker at all times is required. Covering camera or moving face away from camera is considered a violation. Microphone required: Audio of the surrounding is required. People talking around you or noise not allowed Official photo ID is required. (during the initial 360 scan or  workspace scan) Bathroom breaks are not allowed. Walking away from testing environment is not allowed. Other people in the room while you take this test is NOT allowed. People talking to you is also NOT allowed! Electronic devices nearby even if turned off are not allowed. Notes or papers are NOT allowed in the area eve if you don’t look at them. Clear your desk. (Eliminate unauthorized resources from your area. It could be notebooks or other electronic devices) Earphones or wearing any electronic devices are not allowed. Right click with mouse is not allowed. Profanity or indecent behavior is not allowed. Behave as if you were in a classroom taking the test. (It’s just not professional of you to say bad words or take a test with little clothes. Depending on what it is, it might be referred to the Dean of student affairs for student misconduct) Unauthorized applications during the exam must be closed before starting the exam and Honorlock . Close all applications before starting the room scan to avoid being flagged! (Like Teams, wasap, applehandoff, note, other browsers, parsecd, messages, Grammarly, music, and all other applications that are not just Honorlock) Violations will result in an F on that exam with a warning that if it happens again you will get an F in the class.
