4.2 Exam Numbers on Midterm and Final Examinations

Through the use of student examination numbers, most midterm and final examinations are reviewed by faculty members without knowing whose examination is being reviewed. In certain cases, the nature of the class and the quantity and characteristics of the feedback process provide an educational justification sufficient to justify the use of another system for that class. Students will be notified by the teacher if exams will be identified by name rather than exam number in advance of the exam. Unless otherwise notified, however, students will use examination numbers for identification purposes on midterm and final examinations and may be asked to use examination numbers on other work products during the course of the semester. Students are assigned private exam numbers that they access through the CUNYfirst Student Self-Service Center. Each student will have an entirely new exam number each semester.
