AU telephone quizzes? A student asks what the AU telephone quizzes are like. One student with phone anxiety requested and received a format change to an open-book written exam. Another student also experienced anxiety and blanked out during the phone exam. Another student has severe anxiety and was advised to email the tutor for a change of test format. Other students who didn’t experience anxiety had favorable impressions of the phone exam, indicating tutors are encouraging, may provide study tips, and may engage in meaningful conversation. Some students also prepared the answers in advance, so the responses were read from their notes.
