Students can hide tiny cheat sheets under them.
Cheating report or policy violation?

Unauthorized materials
Besides the student's assigned seat, what should proctors look for on the check-in screen?

What children's song can help you remember to check all areas as you do a walkthrough?

What is the policy concerning water bottles at desks?
Water bottles are only allowed for 3 hr. + exams, and they must have closed lids.
Cheating report or policy violation?
A student has folded their scratch paper several times.
Neither! This is something to keep an eye on though, as it could be a sign of cheating. Report on Slack and make sure the paper doesn't leave the lab. Check it after the student leaves for anything else suspicious.
After completing a walkthrough, what should a proctor do?
Continue watching the room.
Why are students not allowed to use their own calculators on CBTF exams?
Many calculators are programmable, meaning unauthorized information could be stored on them.
Which of the following takes greater priority?
A student has their hand raised.
A student is wearing a smart watch.
The student with the raised hand takes priority, as this is more time-sensitive.
You see a student with different colored scratch paper than what has been put out for the hour, and this student is not continuing from another hour. What do you do?
Confiscate the paper and check for possible cheating. Give the student the correct color paper.
Cheating report or policy violation?
The student had their i-card on their desk the entire exam.
Policy violation. Unless you noticed anything else that made you suspicious, it's unlikely this student was cheating.
What can we do to get a more complete view of students? (HINT: not cameras)
Do walkthroughs from both directions/get around to both sides of students as much as possible.
You're checking a student in and they don't have a reservation. What do you do?
1. Make sure their reservation isn't just for another lab or time, then let them know what's going on.
2. Tell the student they need to go to the CBTF website to make a reservation and help them as needed.
You notice a tattoo that looks like an equation on a student's arm. What do you do?
Get on Slack and tell everyone about the cool tattoo you just saw!
What three steps must you take if you find someone with a phone?
1. Confiscate the phone.
2. Take a picture of the screen if it's still up, and share to Slack.
3. Make a cheating report.
Cheating report or policy violation?
A student is being very rude to proctors and has a hostile attitude.
Neither! But, mention it on Slack. Unfortunately there's not much we can do about this, but we can give each other a heads up and have each others' backs.
