Re: Good ideas for final exams?

If anyone is using the Pearson online ‘Mastering’ software, it seems to be relatively easy to set up an online final exam to a large group.

My Pearson rep made a short video for me: https://share.vidyard.com/watch/iyLkSNtpTz9XiuBeoMDUZT?

For everyone, I found some of the suggestions here useful (https://www.pearson.com/news-and-research/working-learning-online-during-pandemic.html), including protocols to minimize cheating (like Google your multiple choice questions in advance to check)

Hi all—I’m wondering if anyone here has come up with an interesting solution for administering a final exam to a large class (230+ students).

I thought about doing a final within Canvas at my allotted time slot, but I think a fair number of students might be back home in very different time zones or without good internet access.

My course is an intro to film studies, fwiw.

Has anyone come up with something good?

Thanks
