Hey all, The IITM team was doing pilots within themselves for the online proctored quiz 1 and has now expanded it to the GLs. So I've given the mock test today morning. I would like to share with you all the operating procedure. So it went like:

1. A meet link will be shared by the proctor which we need to join by mobile at first.
2. After joining, they will do the checking procedure, we've show our IITMOD I'd card and we'll have to show around the room.
3. Then we need to keep the mobile at an specific angle from where the laptop screen and the desk on which we're sitting are clearly visible.
Note: The desk has to be such that we're facing the wall.
4. Then we need to join the same meet link through our laptop/desktop and we need to turn on our desktop's screen recording.
5. They will share a form in the meet chat, which will consist of questions. We then need to disconnect the meet through laptop/desktop and turn the internet off. Then, we need to solve that question in white plane sheets.
6. After solving all the questions on the sheet, we need to present our screen and we need to put the answers in the shared Google form.
7. They'll share another form after this, where we need to upload our rough sheets (pdf) and desktop screen recording.

Apps required on phone:
1. Google meet.
2. Adobe Scan/CamScanner or similar.

Apps required on laptop for screen recording:
1. Vlc media player ( windows)
2. Quick time player (mac)

What things we need to keep handy :
1. White sheets
2. Pen
3. Physical calculator
4. Mobile
5. Laptop

Dear student,

Hope you are safe and doing well. This email is to update you on our plans for quizzes in the May term.

1. Quiz 1 and Quiz 2 were scheduled as in-person exams at centres for May 30, 2021 and June 20, 2021, respectively. Under the current
circumstances, we will not be able to conduct the quizzes at centres as planned.

2. To assess and ensure the learning of students safely, we will be conducting a remote-proctored quiz that students can take from their
own homes. Here are the main requirements for the remote-proctored quiz.
 
a) [Requirement 1] You need to have a laptop/desktop AND smartphone
(both with a stable Internet connection) AND a convenient space in your home (or some other place you can reach safely) for the exam.
Please make arrangements to the best of your ability to satisfy this requirement.
If you are able to satisfy this requirement, proceed to Requirement 2.
If it is not possible to do so, fill this form https://forms.gle/Hk2W3WKPWaJLY7Jf8 and provide more details, if not already done so.
If you are temporarily affected by the cyclone/floods, pls do not fill the above form. This is only for those who don't have the necessary requirements under normal conditions.
 
b) [Requirement 2] If you can satisfy Requirement 1, you need to participate in a system compatibility check on Thursday, May 27, to
check and sort out exam arrangements. For Instructions please check here.
Slots available can be found in the form, whose link is https://forms.gle/KcoUPfjvkCDzUgYP7 Request you all to book your slot and complete this test.
For those temporarily affected by the cyclone, we will open additional slots on Friday/Saturday.
 
c) [Requirement 3] Math I and Stats I students will be invited to a mock exam on Sunday, May 30.
If you are in Math I and Stats I, you will have to participate in the mock exam.

3) ONLY If you meet all applicable requirements above (Requirement 3 is only for those registered to Maths 1 and Statistics 1), you can appear for the remote-proctored quiz on June 5 or 6.
A detailed schedule regarding actual subjects and timings will be announced on June 1.
 
Please write to the support team for any questions or doubts about the above.

Dear student,

We have already extended the assignment 2 submission deadline to last Sunday and are now extending the Assignment 3 submission deadline to coming Sunday- May 30, 2021. This was possible only because quiz 1 is being postponed. If the quiz were to be held on May 30, 2021, we would not have been able to do so.

We would like to state that *THERE WILL BE NO FURTHER EXTENSIONS ON ANY OF THE ASSIGNMENTS HENCEFORTH* this term as the program timetable is quite tight. There are 10 days given for assignment submission under normal circumstances and we also count the best 6 out of first 9 assignments towards eligibility to write the final exam requiring average score in this to be >= 40/100.

This should give enough leeway for students to miss an assignment or two owing to maybe natural causes, college/work tasks, personal contingencies, etc.

Even if you miss submitting, hope you can always come back and practice those for the purpose of learning and preparing for the exams.
Warm regards
IITM BSc Degree Team

Hope you are all doing fine.

 

This is wrt the 4 courses you are all enrolled to and have selected option1  or option 2.

 

1. If you have selected option 1 (attempting the qualifier exam whenever it is conducted and joining the program in Sep 2021) - you can see the content if interested as we are making it available for all. NO NEED TO SUBMIT ASSIGNMENTS FROM WEEK 5 ONWARDS.

 

2. If you have selected option 1 previously and would like to change it now to option 2 - and proceed to continue learning:

We anyway are sharing the content with you also - you can start submitting assignments for whichever courses you wish to follow. No problem in this. 

After you write the qualifier, if you wish to register for courses when we open it, you can go ahead.

 

3. If you have selected option 2 previously - of following some courses and wish to continue with this - PLEASE DO SUBMIT ASSIGNMENTS FOR COURSES YOU WISH TO FOLLOW.

Content for week 5 is uploaded and every Friday subsequent weeks' contents will be released.

 

4. If you have selected option 2 previously - and for some reason, you are unable to follow the courses - dont worry.

Prepare to appear for the qualifier whenever it is conducted and you can register to courses in Sep 2021.

 

Content for qualifier exam: content in weeks 1-4 of ALL 4 courses - Maths 1, Statistics 1, Computational Thinking and English-1.

 

Hope this is clear.

URGENT: Exams Cancelled - June 5th - 10am exam & June 6

Dear Student,

June 5th 8AM exam

Around 1350 out of 1550 students had logged in. But due to some GMeet upgrade which was causing them to constantly be logged out (reported as a bug by many worldover) , many students were not able to complete the exam. We will inform on the decision later.

June 5th 10am exam

Exam CANCELLED as the GMeet upgrade related issue persists.

June 6 - all exams

Regret to say that June 6 Quiz 1 exams are being cancelled as we are unsure if the GMeet upgrade related issues will be sorted by tomorrow.

We will keep you updated on the next Quiz1 schedule.
