Exam for Unit One
First half of class will be the Exam. This exam covers all the materials assigned and covered in class for Unit 1 from Week One though Week Three. Your exam is online and will begin at 0930. I will provide a brief test review this first exam online via Zoom from 0900-0915 am. You can connect by clicking the link here, or copy/paste this url: https://csuci.zoom.us/j/8054373308
Once you start the exam you must complete it. You have 60 minutes to complete the exam. The classroom is available to you for testing, or you may test from off campus. Be sure you have adequate internet connection and computer battery. The library is another resource to use if you need access to a computer.
You can access the exam through CI Learn>>Nursing 420>>Tests and Assignments. You will immediately receive your score, but you will not be able to review the exam until after all students test. The exam will reopen for your review from 1130-1150 am within CI Learn; or you can review the exam during office hours or by appointment. This is not an open book test. Resources should be put away and you should be testing alone. You are not to click outside the online window during the testing period. Please text me at (805) 404-7308 if there are any technical issues during the exam so I can respond promptly.
