eExams
Electronic exams as course assessment
Participating in an eExam allows you to take your exam in a computer lab with special work stations outfitted with a secure electronic environment.
Aside from familiar exam question formats such as free text, fill-in-the-blanks text, and multiple choice, which you may find in paper exams as well, you may also encounter a number of different question formats in which you are, for example, asked to assign terms and objects or tag details in an image. In terms of questions and assignments, an eExam generally does not differ much from a paper exam. However, there are a number of benefits to taking an eExam.
