Professors will create examinations that fairly, adequately, and accurately test important material from their course.
In general, professors should test on material that has been covered in class. Professors should avoid testing students on topics that have not been discussed at all in class. If an exam question is derived from sources other than the contents of the lecture and/or class notes, the professor is obliged to precisely indicate to students what material will be examined, where the information is to be found, and to what level of detail the student should know the material. Any in-class discussions, including those in response to student questions, are eligible for exam questions.
Test questions should be of sufficient complexity and appropriate style to prepare students for the USMLE and for professional medical practice.
During examination, there should at least be two proctors present at all time.
Proctors should be at the test center 10 minutes before the scheduled exam time.
