Digital lecturer's round

Below you will find important information about how to conduct a digital lecturer's round during home exams. For digital home exams shorter than 24 hours, MN recommends that you conduct your lecturer's round in Zoom. It is the teacher's decision whether to conduct a digital lecturer's round or not. Remember to inform the students of  the lecturer's round on the course semester page or in Canvas – even if you decide not to conduct it.

Lecturer's round in Zoom

Lecturer's round for the 24-hour or less home exam should be conducted in Zoom one hour after the start of the exam. You must set up a meeting in Zoom that is available to all candidates. You receive one candidate at a time using the meeting room function in Zoom.

For large courses, you can set up more than one Zoom-meeting (with different teachers in each meeting). Distribute the student mass to the different Zoom-meetings using their candidate numbers ("15001–15100=Zoom meeting 1". "15101–15200)=Zoom meting 2" etc.)

The link to the Zoom-meeting(s) must be posted on the course semester page.

NB: You must also be available by e-mail and telephone during the exam time (during office hours).

Lecturer's round using e-mail

You can also conduct a lecturer's round by e-mail. This is more fitting for home exams lasting several days. You should post the times when you are actively answering e-mails during the exam on the course semester page. NB: You must also be available by telephone during the exam time (during office hours).

Important messages

Important messages to all students (eg clarification of ambiguities in the exam text) should be posted on the semester page. If your course uses Canvas, you can post messages during the exam in Canvas instead. If so, you must post a text on your semester page stating that messages during the exam will be given in Canvas. Most home exams are 4 hours long, so it is important to post such messages quickly. 

Other information

It is the subject teacher's responsibility to answer questions during the exam in lecturer's rounds. This is not a group teacher responsibility.
