I understand that exams in this course are closed-note, with the exception of being able to use our course Canvas resources as a reference, including my submitted study guides and our class species profiles. In this case, Canvas must be accessed from my exam browser, because secondary devices are prohibited in my testing area. Other than our Canvas resources, exams must be taken independently by me without the use of any aids. I agree to follow this policy because academic integrity is important and adds value to my education.
