Students in this course are required to take an online Blackboard test according to the schedule given in the online syllabus.
You can access the test by selecting Test01 in the menu on the left side of your Blackboard page for the course. (See detailed instructions below for taking the test in an ACC Testing Center using the Respondus Lockdown Browser.)
The test will expire and disappear from Blackboard when the scheduled submission deadline passes.
You may take the test up to two times before it expires. Your highest score among the two scores for the test will be used to compute your final grade.
Test questions are generally of a multiple-choice and True/False variety. They are drawn from the textbook and from various sections of my online e-book titled XNA Game Studio. If you understand the material that is used to complete the assignments, you should do well on the test.
Different students will be taking the test at different times during the semester and each student is allowed to take each test up to two times. Therefore, in order to maintain the integrity of the test, I cannot review your answers with you after you take the test.
However, when you Save and Submit a test, you will be given an opportunity to Click OK to review results. Your view of the results will include each question followed by your Selected Answer. The score for each question will be shown on the right side of the screen. If that score is zero, the answer that you selected was not correct. Therefore, you will be able to see which questions you answered correctly and which questions you answered incorrectly when you review the results.
If you do poorly on the test, you should go back and study the material described above and then retake the test.
Distance learning students are required to take your test in an ACC Academic Testing Center (except for remote proctoring as described below).
If you are required to take your test in an ACC Academic Testing Center, it is your responsibility to make all necessary arrangements with the testing center to complete the test, including accessibility, hours of operation, etc. It is also your responsibility to comply with the Testing Center Guidelines. (In the event that you find the above link broken, you can search for and access testing center requirements from the main ACC web site.)
Click here to view a set of instructions compiled by Dr. R.L.Martinez, who has been using this mode of testing with his Distance Learning students for several semesters.
If you are not located in or near Austin, TX, you will need to make arrangements for remote proctoring. See the Distance Testing page at http://dl.austincc.edu/students/DistanceTesting.php In the event that the link is broken, search the main ACC website for Distance Testing and notify your instructor of the situation.
Prof. Baldwin has no way of knowing where Distance Learning students are actually located. If this requirements applies to you, it is your responsibility to make the necessary arrangements without input or assistance from Prof. Baldwin. However, you will need to notify Prof. Baldwin that you are making such arrangements so that he can provide the necessary passwords to Distance Testing personnel.
Students who are not enrolled in a Distance Learning section of the course simply need to notify Prof. Baldwin of the desire to take the test during the first ten minutes of any regularly scheduled class or lab period for the course. Prof. Baldwin will supply the password and supervise the taking of the test during those periods.
