Preparing to Take Online Exams
« pada: September 15, 2022, 08:30:59 PM »
Both instructors and students have had to adjust to teaching and learning differently because of the COVID-19 pandemic. As with everything else, exam season is changing at VIU. Technically, most exams this fall will be some type of take-home exam. VIU has listed all timed exams on the exam schedule. You might however be allowed more time to complete the test. Your instructors will provide all the details.

Along with the timed exams listed on the exam schedule we expect many other non-timed, take home exams to be given during the last week. These exams will be due back the following week. The instructors will provide all the details including the deadlines for submitting exams to them. This means that you may need to take more than one exam on the same day. Time management skills are essential.

You will find out what types of tests you might encounter this year. How you can prepare. Also, you'll find some general tips that can help you get ready for success.

There are many types of online tests

These are some of the different types of assessments your instructors may use this semester to evaluate you learning.

Multiple-choice exams

An instructor might decide to conduct online tests as they would in class. This will encourage collaboration, with peers talking to each other and sharing their best responses for peer review. They recognize that this type collaboration is a very effective learning strategy. Some students will learn while taking the test, and they will also benefit from everyone's preparation.

Strategie for student prep

Make friends with the other students, study together, and plan on taking the test together. Your instructor will assume you have your books open. This may lead to a time limit for the test. This means that you won't have the time to search for all the answers. So prepare well by learning the relevant vocabulary and facts. You'll also need to know how to quickly access information if you aren't sure what you learned. Microsoft OneNote allows you to quickly create tags for key words to help you find relevant information in your notes. You can also follow the tips for exam preparation on this Learning Matters website.

Multiple-choice exam with multiple versions

An instructor may decide to take online tests as they would normally. However, they will create a bank of questions using VIULearn. This is a work-intensive process. The students get their own sub-sets of questions and collaboration is reduced. While it is possible for students to still discuss and answer each question in the same place or virtually, this would mean that they answer all questions on both the test they have been assigned and therefore do twice the work.

Strategie for student prep

Make a commitment to each other and pick at least one study friend. If you're studying with someone else and learning from them, you learn more and have a deeper understanding of the material. You can also socialize more when you work with someone to study. Loneliness in virtual learning can decrease if there is at least one friend. Trent University offers some tips on how to study for open-book online exams.

Short-answer test

Instructors may set exams in which answers can't be found online. Short-answer tests for critical thinking or problem-solving are a great way to do this. Short-answer tests are used to ensure that students practice critical thinking.

Strategie for student prep

Learn the terminology, facts, and concepts to be better equipped to apply them in cases and short answers. If your instructor uses short-answer tests, it is likely that they also taught the course with cases that encourage you to apply concepts. So make sure you go through all the cases and examples the instructor assigns as homework. Actively participate in exercises, cases and examples in class. They are meant to help you pass the test. To help you understand the concepts you have learned, you might consider joining a study group. Here are some tips from Education Corner to help prepare for short answer exams.

General exam preparation tips

These strategies will allow you to succeed in your take-home exams, regardless of the type.

Time management

To ensure that you don't submit all your exams at the same time, create a schedule. To make sure you are able to block the time for your exams, set up your own due dates and then try to adhere to them. Your stress will be reduced by being in control of your own schedule and following the guidelines of your instructors. You can create positive pressure by agreeing to a test date with a friend and holding them both accountable for sticking to the task. If you are studying for an exam or working for an hour, turn off your notifications on your phone or computer. You can find more tips on the Learning Matters Manage Time and Concentration page.

Self-care

When the clock is ticking, it's possible to decide that we don't need as many activities that increase our energy, alertness, or positive mood. This could mean that we have less time for activities that provide us with joy and belonging, as well as nutrition and sleep. When you see yourself as more than a human doer with lots to do, you will find that you have more motivation to self-care throughout your exam period. You'll be able to bring your best self every day that you sit down for your take-home exam.

Study strategies

You should start by reading the course syllabus. Instructors create quizzes to measure progress against the learning outcomes. This is covered on the Learning Matters' Study Skills and Techniques section.

It is often forgotten that instructors are a crucial learning resource. If you have any questions, your instructor can help. This link explains how to connect with instructors.

It is a great way to keep on track by joining study groups or finding a study buddy. You can share information and quiz one another. Peer-Supported Learning is available in most programs. PSL is a peer-supported, free study program that offers regularly supported sessions with a trained peer.

Manage anxiety

Finally, practice calmness and learn how to manage your anxiety. Learn to be mindful of your breathing and silence your mind daily. This will allow you to practice calm breathing. If you can control your mind to concentrate on the task at hand and silence it, you will be able to remain present and calm. You can find resources and links in the episode notes for Successful U's episode 3: Handling stress.

Preparation is the key to success in test taking. Checking in with your instructors to discuss expectations about content and test style, as well collaboration on assignments and exams is a good idea. The positive experience of preparing for an exam and then executing it well can be achieved by utilizing a variety study strategies, including time management and stress management. You have many options for support.
