Tasks. 1. What is Proctoring? Proctoring is the act of invigilating or administrating, supervising or watching, monitoring or simply examining an exam being taken by a student, in order to make sure that the standard academic code of conducts---preventing cheating--- is maintained during that exam. A Proctor is the legitimate person who is qualified to perform the action “proctoring”. According to Dictionary.com: - “a person appointed to keep watch over students at examinations” (dictionary.com, 2016). Exam, in this case, can also be in form of writing, interview or even Practical. 2. Why the UoPeople requires proctored exams. From my own point of view, whatever purposes there might be, all are linked to just one reason. …show more content…
When a final exam is administered by an objective proctor, it lends meaningful authenticity to a student’s demonstrated mastery and competence of the subject.”(Laurel Spring, February 13, 2012). By the UoPeople for instance, if a course required proctoring prior to the student graduation, · The student is responsible for finding his/her own Proctor for that exam. · Without a proctor the exam will not even take place and the Student will be given a grade “F” for that course. · Meaning that the student failed that course automatically. Because The UoPeople is a distance learning higher institution and bides to the laws of Academic integrity, proctored exam is very important. So to obtain a Degree and for the transcript to be Authentic, a Proctored Exam is required prior to graduation 3. Criteria for an appropriate Proctor. There are so many Criteria for an appropriate Proctor. Most of the criteria are imposed by the Higher education institutions and also by law. By the UoPeople for instance. The criteria according to the UoPeople Undergraduate catalog are as follows: o be responsible adults, such as a local official, supervisor at work, librarian, or a religious figure, and be at least 21 years …show more content…
Students are strictly prohibited from offering the proctor any payment or other benefit in return for the proctor’s willingness to supervise the exam”.(UoPeople Undergraduate Catalog, 2016-2017, Page 55.) Meaning that the Proctor much be a person of dignity. 4. Registering a Proctor at the UoPeople. Registering a Proctor is relatively easy and is done always at the beginning of the term of the course requiring a Proctor, prior to graduation. This is done at the Student Portal Website after logging in. So during the online registration of Courses, if the oncoming term type of course requires Proctor, the student have to add a proctor. To do so the student have to click on the “add a proctor” button link at the page where all the courses and types are presented. There the student will be required to introduce some information regarding the proctor. Information such as below will be required: - First and last name. - Email Address. - Telephone
...people his confession. If the rest of the town knew he had confessed, his image and his name would be destroyed. He wants his private life to remain private at least within the court. He begs for his privacy because it is so important to him. However, he changes his mind because his name is too important, and he is hung because of it. Proctor believes so strongly about the separation of public and private life, that he is willing to die for it.
Overall, I believe that John Proctor is a good man who did have a slight moment of weakness. Generally, throughout the play, Proctor is seen as a good man whose character also has the right intentions throughout. Even though he had a moment of weakness he tries to make up for what he has done. He is also seen as the character who talks through wisdom and not Puritan and biblical teachings. The main reason I think he is a good man is because he admitted to witchcraft to stop lots of other people in Salem from being hanged. The character of Proctor is seen as good because he was also innocent just like the rest but thought that he should protect the others.
Proctor has many character traits that contribute to him being so difficult to figure out. His crime of lechery against his wife, and his willingness to save her, are both intermixed in a tangle of ethics. After committing adultery with Abigail, John clearly has a guilty conscious. When
For many reasons, John Proctor is an honest man. By no means is Proctor afraid to tell you what is on his mind.
His refusal to go to church and avoid baptizing his kids is due impart to him thinking that Reverend Parris is a dishonest church leader. All these acts against conformity truly define who he is at the end of the play when he avoids succumbing to the conformity. Proctor was falsely accused of being a witch and was facing execution. He was desperate to give in to the conformity because he was facing death, but he stayed true to himself and did not give in to conformity. Proctor says, “And there’s your first marvel… for now I do think some shred of goodness in John Proctor”; this implies that he realizes he made the morally right choice (Miller 144). He just saved the life of many innocent people by giving his own life. For Proctor saving the people and giving up is life was the only option. “I am no Sarah Good or Tituba … it is no part of salvation that you use me… I have given you my soul; leave me my name”; as John Proctor says this it implies how morally strong he is because he thinks it is shameful to go along with the conformity (Miller 142 – 144). Most of the court was against Proctor and were pressuring him to surrender but he refused. He says, “for them that quail to bring men out of ignorance, as I have quailed… we will burn, we will burn together”; this emphasizes the fact that he truly understands that there is
The first signs of Proctor being an anti-hero evolve when accusations of witchcraft arise and he is torn between confessing to adultery and revealing the information he knows to save innocent lives. He understands his obligations but is still hesitant due to his fear of the consequences. He says to Elizabeth
This is the point where you start to think; what could he have done to become a sinner? Was it a sin in the eyes of god, his friends and family, the law? The description tells us that Proctor was respected so much he was also feared. This is proved when John Proctor enters from the door and Mary Warren ‘leaps in fright’.
Proctor concentrates on his name, because it would be destroyed of he signs. He finally comes to a true understanding of what a good reputation means, and his defense of his name enables him to muster the courage to die heroically.
he persists to bring out the truth. Another obstacle that Proctor must surpass occurs when
Proctor: You will not use me! I am no Sarah Good or Tituba, I am John Proctor! You will not use me! It is no part of salvation that you should use me!
To begin with, Proctor was considered a strong person in the community, and he was respected for it. He was a handsome, hard-working, and revered man in the community. To the people of Salem, he was a dedicated farmer that had done nothing to blacken his family name. His attitude was “. . . even-tempered, and [he was] not easily lead. . .” by the rumors and hysteria surrounding Salem at the time of the witch accusations (Miller 21). When other were jumping to the conclusion of witchcraft and starting to fear, Proctor kept a realistic, skeptical look on the situation. Contrary to the ideas of the time, Proctor would miss church and openly disagree with Reverend Parris (Scheidt and Calandra). Despite this, he had a strong belief in God and followed his own moral standards more than strict rules the Puritan church set out at that time. He was revered in Salem as an honest man who always spoke his mind, and who had the ability to silence the hypocrites with his quick logic (Sparknotes Editors). Whenever Reverend Parris would try to tear Proctor down with criticism on his church attendance and Sunday activities, Proctor would always cou...
The Proctors start sticking up for each other. Toward the middle of Act II, the Proctors get a visit from Hale who
John Proctor is portrayed throughout the play to be a man who has high moral values that he must abide by. He can spot hypocrisy in others easily and judges himself no less harshly. Elizabeth Proctor says to him in the second act:
John Proctor made the right choice when he decided to sacrifice his life in order to recover his self-respect and integrity - opposed to the alternative of sacrificing his dignity to live a life he would have been miserable with. He is able to redeem himself while defying the court he knows to be unprincipled at the same time just as Arthur Miller defied the HUAC in the panic of anti-communists. Proctor died content with his soul instead of continuing to live his life in anguish and
Throughout the play John Proctor was an honest man, as was his wife, Elizabeth until she was asked to testify against her husband about his affair. One thing that never changed about Proctor throughout the whole play was his willingness to stand for his beliefs. Time after time, he was bombarded with questions about why he didn't regularly attend church or why he didn't have one of his sons baptized. He answered these questions with integrity and questioned the ministry of Parris. No one in the town of Salem had done that before.
