The abilit y to submit comments is
important, because it allows a test-taker to
justify a debatable answer or to offer sugges-
tions for revision of a dubious question.
All comments are manually reviewed, so
they must be readable. With this in mind,
Bethelmy brought to our attention a bonus
with regard to online comments: "With the
online option, providing feedback and justifi-
cation was much more convenient via typing
as compared to writing (where penmanship
would have been an issue)."
Subbu compared his online MLT II expe-
rience with that of his previous paper exams
and identified yet another way in which the
Figure 2: Desks must be made clear for online exams before proctors will allow test-takers
to proceed. ICML explains these requirements in the "Live Proctoring Test-Taker Guide,"
which is provided to every online applicant.
"We can literally
study for the exam
and write it from the
same desk that we
use every day. I hope
that the online exams
are a permanent
fixture!"
