Administration of large-scale exams
Multiple testing venues and times
With classes sometimes reaching nearly 1,900 students (e.g., CS 61A), a single classroom is insufficient, so instructors must book multiple large venues. The exam is usually scheduled outside of regular class time to avoid conflicts with other courses. For example, a midterm might take place on a Tuesday evening and run for two to three hours. To reduce opportunities for cheating, large classes often administer different versions of the exam at staggered times, or for shorter, low-stakes tests.
