Procedures for Packaging Tests and Exams.  The security of tests and exams is very important; it is the responsibility of the faculty member and the classroom facilitator to ensure that security is not compromised.  Although ITV faculty will continue to provide oral instructions to the students and facilitators regarding exams and tests during class, the following procedures will help ensure security and provide consistent standards to follow.

                     Faculty Responsibilities:

·         Faculty must complete an Examination Control Form for ITV Courses (see page 21) for each test or exam given.  

·         For each course, one form, that provides explicit instructions, must be completed for each on-campus section (e.g. Warf-Pickel Hall) and/or off-campus section.

·         A form must be included inside the envelope with tests or exams.

·         Tests and exams must be packaged separately from homework assignments and other class materials returned to the student in the same class period

·         Test materials and Examination Control Form must be inside a sealed envelope with the name of the sender written across the sealed flap.

·         The sealed envelope information must include date, to (facilitator and site), from (instructor's name, dept. and course number).

                   EXAMPLE:

DATE             DELIVER TO                         DEPT.               SENT BY               

(Facilitator / Receive site)                                           (Instructor)

       3/15/99 John/Jane Facilitator John/ ETSU-Greeneville    (ETSU 4950)     Dr. John/Jane Doe                   

             Classroom Facilitator Exam/Tests Responsibilities:

·         Packages are to be opened and sealed only by the facilitator for the class.

·         Faculty will tell classroom facilitators when they can open the sealed package. 

·         Upon completion of the tests or exams, Classroom Facilitators certify that they have administered the exams or tests in compliance with instructions provided by the faculty on the Examination Control Form for ITV Courses.

·         Classroom facilitators will return tests and exams in specially marked envelopes.  Classroom facilitators have these envelopes available for them at each site.
