Testing center necessary for students - LaVoz DeAnza
For 12 years, the De Anza College instructional testing center proctored about 5,000 student exams per year. This year, it's gone. De Anza closed the center over the summer in response to budget cuts, leaving alternative testing to each instructor's discretion and creativity. The center provided alternate exam times for students who were unable to take their tests during the regularly scheduled times. Students who were ill, worked, had child-care emergencies, transportation problems or military service were among those who used the center. Distance learning students, who couldn't come to campus during the times their instructors gave exams on campus, could choose from a varied testing schedule at the center.
