A proctored exam is a supervised exam that is taken online, ensuring the security and integrity of the examination process. In the case of the MicroMasters program in Supply Chain Management, the Comprehensive Final Exam (CFx) is primarily administered online but may also have an in-person option depending on the course team's discretion.
During a proctored exam, a proctor acts as a liaison between the course team, the edX platform, and the learners. The proctor's main responsibility is to ensure that the testing is conducted under fair and secure conditions. They perform various tasks to uphold the integrity of the exam, including verifying the identity of learners by checking their government-issued photo identification, monitoring the learners during the exam to prevent the use of unauthorized aids, and ensuring that learners follow the instructions provided by the instructor.
By implementing proctoring software and involving proctors, the MicroMasters program aims to maintain a controlled and secure testing environment, minimizing the risk of cheating or any form of academic dishonesty. This helps to ensure that the exam results accurately reflect the knowledge and skills of the learners who have completed the program.
