What does proctoring mean to me and how important is it to my education? What are my responsibilities to ensure the integrity of the exam and the proctor monitoring it?
Since we begin going to the school , we have always observed that any exams was proctored or supervised by a teacher .
Colleges and universities that offer remote education usually require their students, especially degree seekers, to take proctored exams, tests administered and supervised for the entire duration. Proctors, most often authoritative figures such as elected officials, teachers, high school principles, guidance councilors, librarians, or even religious figures, oversee that academic integrity is being practiced while taken. Here, at UoPeople, proctored exams are absolutely necessary to prevent course failure, resulting in the inability to graduate.
The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines proctor as, a supervisor or monitor, specifically someone appointed to supervise students (as at an examination). UoPeople being an online only University, requires proctors for certain exams to maintain the integrity, and honesty during the exam. The proctor will confirm the appropriate person is taking the exam and that all rules for the exam are followed.
From this course I have learned what pre-reading really is. I had always thought that pre-reading was actually reading all of the material assigned, so I would never do if before lecture. It was interesting to learn about the different types of note taking. Sometimes using the same style can get boring, so trying out new formats really helped! My favorite thing that I learned about this course was “smart test-taking strategies”. Although, I have been afraid to apply some of those skills to my exam, I have noticed how they really work when doing practice NCLEX-RN questions.

I realize that this is the short version, with a good understanding of its meaning of a Proctors. Will be required and added upon registration course the University of the People is to require a Proctor. I believe it"s to insure the code of conduct is maintained, which applies to student

“Beginning with the reign of Constantine I and the establishment of the Byzantine Empire, the Eastern Christian church became a tool of the Emperors. Byzantine Emperors and Empresses played a dominant role in the Eastern church and used the Christian religion to strengthen the Empire internally, to spread Byzantine cultural and political influence, and at times, to fortify their own power”
When a teacher is presented with this conflict, going against standard regulations may be tempting. To regulate this, many states have placed strict guidelines where the students’ teacher is not the individual proctoring the test. However, there are still several states that have the teacher administer test to his or her own students, often times without another proctor in the room. This inconsistency between state regulations also proves the biased separation between how students are tested from state to state, causing certain students more opportunities for assistance than others. With this lack of security, it becomes incredibly easy for teachers to go against common regulations, such as allowing more time on sections, allowing students to go back and work on previous sections, or answering any municipal questions the children may ask, or major, such as changing a student’s attempted answer to correct, or opening a test before the test date and teaching the students the exact test questions. These frightening test practices send a message that “examiners should take into consideration the appropriate changes to be done, keeping in mind the professional and standardization of the test” (Farah). Although these test tampering methods can be seen as the teachers way of assisting students with academic disabilities that do not receive the help they need, the

The reason only certain courses are proctored as they are deemed to be necessary knowledge when one says that they have a Bachelor in that area.
For this week, I was required to read chapter 5, 6, and 7 in the "A history of the personal computer: the people and the technology " online book. This week's reading was much more easier and understandable than last week's readings. These chapters were about computer companies in the 1970s and what they did. It was interesting to read about these computer companies' humble beginnings. It was especially interesting because the two biggest computer companies right now, Microsoft and Apple, were so thoroughly covered in the chapters. Aside from that, I was able to read about flow charting by Bill Streib, who did a great job in explaining it. Even though the paper was mostly filled with pictures and diagrams, it was still a good read. I was also able to read about pseudo code, and find out about it's advantages and disadvantages. After reading and testing pseudo code and flowcharts, I feel that I would be more in the pseudo code camp. Personally pseudo code is easier for me.
Describe and explain the ways in which assessment practice has the potential to impact students’ learning:
4) Assessment: the assessor must ensure that learner achievement and progression is checked throughout the learning process (formative assessment) and at the end of the course or programme (summative assessment). The assessment methods have to be fair, reliable and valid and linked to the planned assessment tasks. The assessor has the responsibility to ensure that learners are aware of the requirements and know how to meet the assessment criteria.
