Exam season is happening a little differently at VIU this fall. Some of your courses may have timed exams that are shown on the exam schedule, but you may have ...some non-timed, take-home exams. These will typically be given out during the last week of classes (this week!) and due a week later, which means you may have more than one take-home test due on the same day. To help you prepare, the latest #VIUBlog post covers Preparing for Online Exams: https://www.viu.ca/b/viu-student-pulse-news-december-2-2020
