After you have completed the textbook, and are ready to take your mid term and final examinations, please notify me and request access to the exams. Please remember that your final exam must be completed by the end of the tenth week. No exceptions.
There are two examinations for this course, mid-term and final. The exams cover the material in the book, "Fundamentals of Air Traffic Control". The final examination must be taken by the end of the tenth week in the course.
Both examinations are programmed and are located in the classroom for this course. The examinations are "open book" objective type. You will have three days to complete your exam, once you access it from the classroom. To access the exams, you must send me an email and request to have access to the exam. I will then program your access in. You will receive an email back from me telling you that you are now authorized to go ahead and access your exam. To access, you will come into the classroom, click on testing, and click on the exam you are taking. You will need your User ID and PASS WORD to access the exam. The exam will appear on your screen. Once you access the exam, you have 72 hours to submit your answers. The program provides me the date and exact time that you accessed the exam. The program also notifies me of the exact date and time that you submit your answers. Thus, the program is timing you. When you are ready, go back into the classroom and click in your responses and then click submit. In a short time following you will receive the exam in your email box with your computed score. You will also know what questions, if any, that you missed, and what the correct answer is. I too receive the copy of your exam and your score.
There is no written assignment for this course.
The grading scale for this course is as follows:
90-100% = A
