Proctoring is required by the University of The People to make sure during specific exams, students are utilizing their resources, and information learned throughout the course. Proctored exams are an excellent way to prove integrity on behalf of the student or individual, and provides legitimacy to their transcript. Proctoring is also necessary because of the nature of our school. Since everything we do is online, monitoring students for specific

At the very least, you must be an adult of the age of 21. Also, the proctor is not allowed to have any conflict of interest with the student. A good example is being in a romantic relationship or family ties. Anything that can lead the University to believe there is a personal interest in the student's grades. The proctor must also be responsible, and physically present at all times during the exam. There are no exceptions for this.
Students are also not allowed to provide any compensation to the proctor for their time or assistance. Payment is only acceptable if the student chooses to use ProctorU or another third-party service. The Proctor must have stable access to the internet, and a reliable e-mail service for contact. The biggest requirement of them all is the Proctor must be willing to follow all rules, and regulations provided by the University for the exam. Following the standards of the University, validates the integrity of the exam.”

...people his confession. If the rest of the town knew he had confessed, his image and his name would be destroyed. He wants his private life to remain private at least within the court. He begs for his privacy because it is so important to him. However, he changes his mind because his name is too important, and he is hung because of it. Proctor believes so strongly about the separation of public and private life, that he is willing to die for it.
Overall, I believe that John Proctor is a good man who did have a slight moment of weakness. Generally, throughout the play, Proctor is seen as a good man whose character also has the right intentions throughout. Even though he had a moment of weakness he tries to make up for what he has done. He is also seen as the character who talks through wisdom and not Puritan and biblical teachings. The main reason I think he is a good man is because he admitted to witchcraft to stop lots of other people in Salem from being hanged. The character of Proctor is seen as good because he was also innocent just like the rest but thought that he should protect the others.
For many reasons, John Proctor is an honest man. By no means is Proctor afraid to tell you what is on his mind.
John Proctor is portrayed throughout the play to be a man who has high moral values that he must abide by. He can spot hypocrisy in others easily and judges himself no less harshly. Elizabeth Proctor says to him in the second act:
Proctor has integrity is because of the way he handles the people in Salem, and their obsession with church. John Proctor was interrogated by Mr.Hale about his commandments and why he hasn’t been at church every Sunday. “It may be I have been too quick to bring the man to book, but you cannot think we ever desired the destruction of religion,” (III. 530). Mr. Parris, the pastor in Salem, in not who Mr. Proctor wants to baptise his kids. This is why he decides every Sunday not to go to Salem, and attend church. When Mr. Hale asks John about his commandments, John was able to recite nine of the 10, which caused Mr. Hale to believe that the Proctors may praise Satan. Snapping back at Mr. Hales assumption, John Proctor then tells Hale about how he helped build the church, and hung the door. I believe that John Proctor being able to keep his integrity, even when he is targeted by others in his community, makes him a great character in the play.

To begin with, Proctor was considered a strong person in the community, and he was respected for it. He was a handsome, hard-working, and revered man in the community. To the people of Salem, he was a dedicated farmer that had done nothing to blacken his family name. His attitude was “. . . even-tempered, and [he was] not easily lead. . .” by the rumors and hysteria surrounding Salem at the time of the witch accusations (Miller 21). When other were jumping to the conclusion of witchcraft and starting to fear, Proctor kept a realistic, skeptical look on the situation. Contrary to the ideas of the time, Proctor would miss church and openly disagree with Reverend Parris (Scheidt and Calandra). Despite this, he had a strong belief in God and followed his own moral standards more than strict rules the Puritan church set out at that time. He was revered in Salem as an honest man who always spoke his mind, and who had the ability to silence the hypocrites with his quick logic (Sparknotes Editors). Whenever Reverend Parris would try to tear Proctor down with criticism on his church attendance and Sunday activities, Proctor would always cou...

Throughout the play John Proctor was an honest man, as was his wife, Elizabeth until she was asked to testify against her husband about his affair. One thing that never changed about Proctor throughout the whole play was his willingness to stand for his beliefs. Time after time, he was bombarded with questions about why he didn't regularly attend church or why he didn't have one of his sons baptized. He answered these questions with integrity and questioned the ministry of Parris. No one in the town of Salem had done that before.
Everyone has to wait for that last student, the slowest one that takes their time, and uses it to their advantage. Students deceit do, anything until everyone has executed the test. Others will say the extra time students get can be used for something else, but everything that anyone does now is noisy.
