All students need to choose to type or hand-write the assessment item (mid semester test/exam):
Those who want to type - see next step! (hand-writers jump to Step 4).
You have some options...
Note; for those intending on hand-writing their exam you do not need to attend.
All sessions are the same . Pick one! You do not need to attend for the whole duration.
Please bring the laptop you intend on using on exam day, with a fully charged battery. We recommend you also bring a wired mouse.
It is estimated that it will take 30 minutes at most for you to set-up your laptop (excluding any major technical hitches) as well as practice using the e-exam software. There will be DIY guides (see below) and staff will be on hand to help.
Warning!!! Recommended only for the very technically skilled!

For those typing their exam - please bring your laptop with a *fully charged* battery and a wired mouse.

All students - after you finish the exam, please kindly complete a post-exam survey to tell us about your rationale and experience.
