Respondus Monitor – Show Your Work

The Show Your Work feature in Respondus Monitor makes it easy for students to upload photos of their handwritten work at the end of an online exam. There are no folders to create, no PDFs to generate, no filename conventions to follow – in short, no hassles.

Show Your Work will prompt students to take a photo of their calculations, worksheets, diagrams, drawings, doodles – whatever you require – at the end of the exam.

Here’s how it works:

Show Your Work is enabled by the instructor from the Respondus Monitor settings (under Advanced Settings). The default instructions for students can be edited too.

Students take photos of their written work (up to 20) immediately after the exam is completed.

These photos appear in the top row of the proctoring results for the student. Click an image to view a large, high-resolution image of it.

Building an Essential Ed Experience: (Re)Designing Your Course to Become an E3

Date: March 4, 2025

Time: 12:00 p.m. until 1:00 p.m.

Location: MUB Ballroom A

Interested in designing and teaching an Essential Education Experience (E3)? Join E3 leadership and fellow instructors for a course redesign workshop. E3 courses should prepare students for an ever-changing, dynamic, and diverse world by increasing social awareness, global understandings, and/or cultural competencies through hands-on learning. Students will apply their learning toward a project or activity that engages with community beyond the traditional classroom.

This workshop will cover the basics of E3 requirements and provide participants time to workshop with others an existing or proposed Essential Education Experience course, while learning more about practical tools for transforming their own courses into E3s. Faculty who are interested in E3 courses but don’t have a specific course in mind yet are welcome to attend and can expect to gain insights that will aid in future course development.

For questions or to request accommodations, including dietary, please feel free to contact the CTL at ctl@mtu.edu or (906) 487-3000.
