These are general instructions for the midterm exam for COMP 2211 on April 2 at 2pm.

Instructions:

1. The midterm exam may consist of T/F questions, short questions and long questions. The details are to be confirmed.
2. The questions will be shown on screen one-at-a-time.
3. The midterm exam must be completed within 2 hours from the time you start. Manage your pace accordingly so that you do not run out of time.
4. The midterm exam will be conducted on Canvas. We will separate the questions from the answers by creating 2 set of Canvas "quiz", one consisting of only questions and the other consisting of only answers, and allow you to open 2 Canvas tabs, one for each so that you can read the questions on one tab and answer on the other tab WITHOUT leaving Canvas. Also, you must start both parts, i.e. Questions and Answers, at the SAME TIME.
5. The midterm exam will be proctored via a Zoom meeting (see guidelines below) which will be recorded. In order to take the midterm, you must be logged in to the Zoom meeting.

1. The midterm will test your knowledge on the followings:
   • Topic 1: Introduction to Artificial Intelligence

   • Topic 5: K-Means Clustering
   • Topic 6: Artificial Neural Network - Perceptron

2. It is a closed-notes exam. In addition, you are NOT allowed to use any textbooks and electronic devices (except the device you will use to connect to Canvas and a HKEA approved calculator).

Guidelines & Regulations:

It is your responsibility to make sure that you adhere to the following regulations. Failure to do so may lead to your midterm exam being voided.

1. First, join the assigned meeting (please check HERE) using your UST account connected to Zoom. Make sure that you join the meeting 50-minute before the midterm time so that we can check your student ID/HKID/passport and to make sure that your configuration works fine.
2. You must use two different devices as follows:
   1. A laptop/desktop that you will use to connect to Canvas and take the midterm (note that the tablet/mobile version of Canvas does not always function properly with Canvas).
   2. Another device (mobile phone/tablet/laptop/desktop) that you will use to join the Zoom meeting.
3. Device (b) must have video and audio capabilities and you must make sure that its camera clearly shows your face (at least partially), your hands, and desk area so that we can make sure you are working on the Canvas midterm on your own. The screen of device (a) (i.e. the device where you are taking the Canvas midterm) must also be visible. However, the camera does not need to show your midterm input but just show enough to demonstrate thay the only active window is Canvas. See here for an example of "correct" configuration.
4. If you have your camera turned off or not correctly configured, you will not be allowed to take the midterm and there will not be any make-up midterm for you.
5. You are not allowed to access any other programs, applications, browser tabs, or windows on device (a), except for the Canvas window for taking the midterm. Keep in mind that Canvas tracks when you switch to a different window, application, or tab and we will check this.
6. While taking the midterm you must be alone in the room and no one else should be with you. If you are unable to have access to such a room, then you must inform the instructor of this at least two days before the midterm, explain why this is not possible and state who else might be in the room with you during the midterm.
7. During the midterm, you may be asked to adjust your camera if it is not well-placed or to show that you are the only person in the room so make sure that you have audio turned on in device (b), but don't put on your earphones or headsets. During the exam, you must remain silent and are not allowed to communicate verbally, electronically or in any other way with anyone, except for the invigilator.
8. If you have a question about the exam, you may click "raise hand" button. Then, the invigilator would take you to a breakout room and address the question through verbal communications.
9. You are allowed to have blank sheets of paper that you will use for rough work.
