| == There is also the possiblity of "Testing Out" == If you think you know this application (Word or Excel) so well and you can take the final before the first cutoff date. Let me know BEFORE you take it and I'll grade it and give you as your final grade the score you earn on the exam. WARNING - this is a one time offer. You may not do this if you are repeating the class. Also consider carefully this option for Excel. The CPTE 106 test is not nearly as easy as one might guess. For CPTE 107 I don't recommend this at all. Essentially this is like "challenging the course." |
== Why are there two tests in CPTE 105? == We test you to see if you really need to take this class. The first test is '''optional''' in the sense that if you don't take it, you may not test out of the class. I'll grade this exam ASAP so that you can see if your score earns you the option of testing out. If you get a 70% or above on the exam you may '''waive''' the requirement. This means you need to drop the class and fill out a waiver form and turn it in to the records office. This option is not free! If you are happy with your grade as a B- or better, you can count this test as a Challenge exam. This also requires you to drop the course and fill out the challenge exam form. Challenge exams cost even more money than a waiver, but is the cheapest credit you'll ever earn. The last option is to stay in the class as part of your course load and take your score (which must be an A- or better) by notifying me that you want this option. You may not take advantage of any test out option if you are repeating this class. |
Testing Procedure for CPTE 105, 106 & 107
Absolutely step one is to watch the pre-test video (CPTE 105 Videos). Next there are two ways you may take the final exam. One for on campus students and the second for distance education students.
If you are on campus, you must take the final in the HSC 116 lab on or before the date/time listed in the course schedule. Go to Hickman Science Center to room 116 when a Lab Consultant is on duty and tell them what class you are in and that you would like to take the exam. They have a whole procedure to walk you through and will help you get started.
If you are taking this course as a distance education course and are not able to come to campus to take the final on or before the due date listed in the course schedule, you will be responsible for obtaining an approved proctor for the final exam. An approved proctor is a non-relative pastor, teacher or other education professional (such as a librarian). Getting approval for a proctor and making other arrangements for the final exam should be done no later than two weeks prior to the end of the course. I prefer to communicate with the proctor via email, but their email address must verifiably belong to the teacher or pastor. Yahoo, GMail, Hotmail etc. address may not be used. I will be happy to communicate with a proctor via snail mail if verification is problematic. You should plan to take the exam in time to give the proctor enough time to return the test to me before the final due date.
