Dear All,

0. An OARS request that has been dated and approved 7 days before the 
   exam generates a paper exam. Contact/Visit OARS for exam taking.
1. Else show up in the classroom at the designated time for the exam.
   Designated time is class time for Exam1 and Exam2.
   Dual factor autherntication issues. When you activate your

4.  The exam link will be published in canvas on Mon before the exam.
    The exam link will be  ***visible***   then.
    The exam link will be  ***clickable*** then. 
    The Exam will NOT  be  ***viewable***  yet. 
    The Exam will NOT  be  ***doable ***   yet. 
(If you click  on the link you might get an authentication error.)
5.  The Exam will be ***viewable*** and ***doable ***
  (a) after Available-From time (canvas setting) 
      has been reached,  and
  (b) after you enter the classroom, 
      you power on your laptop, 
      you use the browser to connect to canvas,
      click on the exam in Quizzes in canvas, and 
      you type in the password given to you by the instructor 
      (it will be written inside a drawn rectangular
      box at the start of the class and it is case sensitive).

Exam time starts then (completion of step (b) usually within 5 minutes
of the start of class) and a countdown is visible in the canvas 
quiz/exam area (at the top of a possibly scrollable page).

6.  From that point on, the exam completes in one of three 
possible ways, WHICHEVER OCCURS FIRST, and as long as any 
credentials of yours do not expire 
(this is based on info communicated by IST),

  (i) YOU press a  SUBMIT button in canvas and submit your answers,
      [YOU HAVE ONLY ONE SUBMIT OPPORTUNITY]

 (ii) the canvas COUNTDOWN has reached 0  (time limit expiration),

(iii) AVAILABLE-UNTIL event has been triggered 
      (and exam ceases to be available).

Based on Canvas behavior communicated to me by IST, in cases 
(ii) and (iii) canvas ordinarily autosubmits. 
In case (i) you initiate a SUBMIT event.

If your myUCID password expires sometime during the exam or after
a prior NJIT authentication, Canvas MAY NOT BE ABLE TO AUTOSUBMIT.
This is the reason you were instructed at the start of the semester
to reset / renew your credentials (myUCID login+password).
