Time Frame On Taking Exams at Virginia College Online

We, the students of Virginia College Online Education who are enrolled in the Criminal Justice Program, under the Director Dr. Charles T. Kelly, Jr. petition the Administrative Staff to freeze the “…restriction of time frame on taking exams down to 20 minutes for a fifty-question exam….”

We believe that this new exam process would be discouraging, and a great injustice to the “online students” overall education. We also take great offense to the possibility that under this new direction Virginia College Online as relinquished the fact that we are students that are not applying for positions which would require “…split-second decisions…” and as a learner would benefit greatly from the ability to have the necessary time to concentrate on the questions being asked. Being afforded 1 to 2 hours for mid-term, and finial exams would also give the students a successful opportunity to successes in the program.
