Desktop recommendations for taking a ProctorU exam. A student has asked about the desk setup for a ProctorU exam. Other students have advised that a secondary keyboard might not be allowed, and Bluetooth is disabled for external devices. However, a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard seem to be acceptable. They also recommend that pictures and other objects be moved off the desktop, and any objects in front of the computer may need to be removed. At the start of the exam, it is suggested to shut down the computer to remove background programs. Another student suggests creating a separate user on the computer, as ProctorU runs a script that may not be reverted to prior computer settings after the exam.

Are AU accounting courses difficult? A student inquires if accounting courses offered by AU are difficult. Other students have recommended YouTube channels such as Edspira for learning accounting online. They suggest that learning accounting online through Pearson’s textbooks, quizzes, and assignments is much harder than learning it at a physical university. However, one student found an accounting professor from a physical university as a tutor and watched Tony Bell’s YouTube videos. This student mentioned that the course needed to be supplemented with external learning resources.
