    - Part I exam: You will create a 120 minute final exam via Quizzes.
    - Part II exam: You will create a 15 minute, a complete/incomplete assignment via Assignments, called final exam paper submission.

    How the Part I & II exam work for students 

    1. Part I exam: Students will complete the Part I exam submission via Canvas Quizzes within 120 minutes.
    2. Part II exam: After students submit their Part I exam, they will take a picture on their paper (or use Adobe Scan app to take a picture and save it as .pdf) and upload the picture(or .pdf) to Assignments via 15 minute.

    After you set up your exam, please 

    1. Inform students to schedule an exam with ProctorU once you have been confirmed that the exam has been set up. (must)
