Dear All
I would be very interested to know how other institutions deal with mobile
phones going off in examinations.
At Queen Mary students are warned that they must turn off mobiles before
entering an examination room and that if their mobile goes off during an
examination they will be reported to the Academic Registrar and may be
fined.
In practice no-one has ever been fined, rather they get a stern lecture from a
senior member of staff. We don't appear to have had any problems with
repeat offenders.
We have nothing specific in our examination regulations about mobile
phones. I would like to tighten up on the information we actually give to
students before an examination starts.
I would be happy to provide a summary of information gathered from
responses to this e-mail.
Thanks for your help.
Regards
Andy
