IV. Examinations
Proctoring
of examinations is undesirable, but this in no way limits the authority of
persons who administer examinations to take such actions as they deem necessary
to maintain decorum in examination room(s). Students shall be allowed adequate
classroom space during an exam to minimize distraction and discomfort while
working. It is suggested that exam administrators limit the taking of
examinations to the main classroom(s) and the student module areas.
-
The following statement shall be typed (or written) at the end of each written
examination or at the end of the answer sheet if it is separate from the
examination,
"I pledge, to the best of my knowledge, I observed or
know of no violation of the
Honor Code having taken place.
Signature
of the student."
-
An unsigned pledge shall be construed as intent
to report a violation of the Honor Code. No examination paper with the pledge
unsigned shall be returned, nor the grade recorded, until the student
acknowledges
his failure to sign the pledge. It should be noted that false signing of the
pledge constitutes a violation of the Honor Code.
-
One of the Honor Court members will be available to
check for unsigned exams and compiling a list of these names if needed.
-
The
Honor Court member shall be responsible for confidentially inquiring of
each name on the list regarding intent to file a report of a violation.
-
The
person observing a violation of the Honor Code should report the violation
to a member of the Honor Court within two weeks of its occurrence, with
longer time granted according to the stipulations in
Section V.
-
In
the event of a National Board Exam, FLEX, or end of rotation exam, the
person who witnessed an
Honor Code violation is solely responsible for the notification of the Honor
Court.
-
The
Honor Court member responsible for a particular exam should inform the
proctors of the exam, if
there are proctors, as to
who they are and that they will check the exams for signatures after the
exam, if needed. He/she should also inform the proctor on proper procedure
for identification and reporting of potential violations.
