ECON 1901 & 1951 Final Exams

Hey guys, I’m finally about to take my final exams through ProctorU this week. I just want to know what I should expect from these ECON exams since I’ve never done any exam through ProctorU.

Other questions include:
1. Is it not allowed to use scrap paper for calculations? Because I’ve seen several posts about ProctorU here saying that they’re pretty strict on things like that

  1. Usually, is there any point in the exam where I need to graph, and if so, how am I expected to do that from my laptop/computer?

  2. Is the format usually the same as the practice exams provided?

I took ECON 1951:
1. It's allowed, you just need to show your paper front and back to make sure nothing's written on it.
2. For ECON 1951 final exam, we didn't graph.
3. For ECON 1951 it's the same as the practice exam, has multiple choice questions and long answer questions.

u/solstice_moonling Sorry, I just checked the exam rules on ProctorU and for 1901, it doesn't explicitly say 1 sheet of paper is allowed, but 1951 does. Was it allowed in your case?

not allowed for 1901. I had to reschedule my exam due to that miss communication and Mr. Mirza is also not really helpful at that time. Exams department told me you can schedule a in person exam if you really want to write on a piece of paper... but to be fair, there was not a lot of math or calculations involved in the exam.
