Is there a chart style document that lists the materials allowed and time allotments for exams by course? As a quick reference guide? (I think there is... can't remember - if there is not, can we make one?) (Reason: The version is not a concern for me, but I often forget what the administration guidelines are and need to know those to plan the exam - instead of asking Shiela everytime I forget, a reference guide would be helpful)

The main problem in adult education seems to be there are not enough versions of an exam and that they do not change often enough. So.... Why can't the ministry create more versions of exams, or every 5 years change exams, as opposed to ever 15-20? Is there a way to communicate this to the ministry through our administration?

Many exams usually take place in the last few days of the session. During those days, it would be helpful to have someone (perhaps a student supervisor) circulating the halls to give teachers a quick washroom break or accompany students to the washroom.

PACC has a rule that students can't write the exam without having submitted 75% of the required work. If a student challenges this rule, do they ultimately have the right to write the exam? What should we do if a student insists that they want to write the exam?

PreCOVID, all cell phones were in their bags on vibrate mode and the bags were kept at the back of the class. During COVID, students could keep their bags at their desk. I suggest returning to the old protocol for the bags and place the all the students' cell phones/smart watches on a desk close to the teacher.
