a. Make sure to visit the “Laptop Exams” website posted at http://www.law.columbia.edu/law_school/info_tech/Notebook#4124 for the latest information on: The official exam-software for Spring 2009, the School’s policy regarding computer-aided exams. b. Make sure to (at least) backup your most important files before installing the exam-software. If you opt for a more significant backup, software products such as Norton Ghost 2002 may prove extremely useful – it provides high-performance utilities for fast and safe system upgrading, backup, and recovery. Such software may be available at the Columbia bookstore for academic pricing. c. Download and install the exam-software earlier rather than later. d. Practice with the exam-software as much as possible: …so you feel comfortable with the software, …so you can identify potential technical problems and fix them in a timely manner, …so you can decide earlier, rather than later, if taking the exam on your own computer is right for you.
