August 29, 200718 yr Greetngs. I am looking for a university teacher who can monitor me while I take a test online. It would be for two hours at two different times. I will pay you if you like I can come to where you are. Thank you so much Sincerely, Siri.
August 30, 200718 yr While you take the test? Great word - mentor. If you are looking for the actual meaning try "Cheat". Edited August 30, 200718 yr by jbowman1993

August 30, 200718 yr The person who officially monitors exam takers is called a proctor in the USA, an invigilator in the UK. Not to be confused with a proctologist, who examines you.
August 30, 200718 yr Your host institution should provide you with a list of approved institutions that may proctor you. If you think just any old body will do, I doubt you really need one at all. Think about it, non approved non accredited proctors invigilating on behalf of who? Sounds dodgy. Doesn't wash mate.

Think about it, non approved non accredited proctors invigilating on behalf of who? Sounds dodgy. Doesn't wash mate. It is a common and accepted practice among many accredited institutions of higher leaning to use Proctors from from the local communities. The expectation is that a student in a distance learning class, i.e. internet course, find a person that is associated with a respected institution of learning and demonstrates integrity by virtue of thier position and reputation. Most accredited universities in the USA require the Protor to be a proffessional teacher/instructor with a recognized univerity. If anyone in this forum meets these requirements they may be able to help a student that is trying to continue his/her education via distance learning ( a modern way of instruction common in most parts of the world.)
September 2, 200718 yr Yeah, it could totally be legitimate. I've needed something like this before --- I had to write an exam away from my university and it was ok if I found a legitimate proctor. Like another poster said, many universities will accept professors from other universities, professional engineers, doctors -- people who would have some something to lose if caught helping a student cheat. It's also not uncommon to pay a small honorarium for their time. Edited September 2, 200718 yr by canadiangirl
