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.
