Greetings:
This is an important message for all Law students concerning
laptop computer use for final exams in Spring 2009. Please
read this message carefully & thoroughly. You are
responsible for knowing the contents of this message.
(Important Note: you need to follow these
instructions even if you have previously taken laptop exams here (in Fall
2008 or earlier) or at some other school.
At this point, you need to be aware of several
things:
1. If you do not want to use a laptop for an exam, you will not be
required to. You may write in a bluebook. Bluebook users will
take their exam in the same room as laptop users. (Note: some
instructors may require use of a special exam form or packet for all
exam-takers.)
2. If you wish to take your final exam(s) on laptop, you need to
follow the Software Download directions below well IN ADVANCE of your
exam date(s). (Again, you need to
follow the download instructions below even if you have previously taken
secure laptop exams.)
Software Download. If you intend to take your
exam(s) on laptop, you need to do the following:
(1) Ensure your laptop has a wireless capability that is
functional.
(2) Go to the following web-site:
http://law.wisc.edu/help/for_students/securexam/
(3) On the web-site, do the following:
(a) review ALL of the information provided;
(b) follow the "Download" instructions provided.
(4) If you experience difficulty with any of the above steps,
bring your laptop to the Technology Services office on the second floor
(Room 2270) during business hours (Mon-Fri 7:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m.). Do
not wait until the day of your exam!
(5) If you have technical questions, do not reply to this
e-mail. Rather, e-mail your questions to: help@law.wisc.edu
.
Thank you for your attention.
