Mid-sem exam review
Exam logistics and overview
Exam logistics
• The university exams office is responsible for administering the exam, through the special ‘In-semester Test for:
ECOS3002’ Canvas site.
• All official information on the exam and its administration, comes from them, and overrides anything I say in this
video or elsewhere on the ECOS3002 Canvas site.
• I will not be available on the day of the exam, the Ed site will be offline the day of the exam, and exams cannot be
submitted by email.
• Any exam-related issues will have to be dealt with through official University systems (e.g., Special Consideration), and
approval of appeals is not guaranteed.
• This video is providing an informal review of the logistics of the exam, and a review of some of the relevant
content on the exam.
• I highly recommend logging in to the exam site as soon as you have access, reading through everything, and
making sure you have access to all the materials, resources, and software necessary for an online exam.
Exam details
Date of test: 19 September 2022 (Monday)
Start: 14:00 AEST
Duration: 1 hour, with 30 minutes upload time (90 minutes total). This includes:
• 10 minutes reading time, but you are free to start the test as soon as you are ready.
• 50 minutes of writing time.
• 30 minutes of upload time to allow you to upload your files as per your test instructions.
• Do NOT treat this as extra writing time. The upload time must be used solely to save and upload your files
correctly as per the test instructions. Manage your time carefully. Check that you have saved and named your file
correctly and uploaded the correct file. If your time runs out while you are uploading this is not considered a
technical issue, and you risk receiving a score of 0 if your Special Consideration application is rejected.
Exam details
• Materials required: (i) scientific calculator, and (ii) a sheet of blank paper with a writing
instrument (pen or pencil), OR a digital drawing tool.
• All exam answers, expect the figure, must be submitted typed, in machine-readable form. Any
answers other than the figure not submitted typed, in machine-readable form, will automatically
receive a score of 0.
• Your final exam submissions will be in the form of 1 or 2 pdfs (only).
• 1 pdf option: type up text answers, and paste figure into document.
• 2 pdf option: type up text answers, submit as pdf, and create a second pdf of your
figure.
Analysis
• The exam will not involve complex calculations or manipulations in Excel, however it
may involve basic operations that you can implement on a scientific calculator.
• You will also need to create a figure – you can do that using pen/pencil and paper, OR a
digital drawing tool.
