Hello,  we have received this notice from Examsoft:

As you may have heard, both Apple and Microsoft are releasing major updates to their operating systems this fall. Apple is expected to release iOS 11 and macOS High Sierra later this month and Microsoft’s Windows 10 Fall Creators Update is expected in October. At this time ExamSoft is actively testing beta versions of each of these operating systems. Based on current testing results, our goal is to formally support both new systems on Examplify within one month of public release.

Please note:

• Until official support is announced, students on devices with High Sierra will be unable to install Examplify.
• As a best practice, we recommend you (and students) refrain from updating devices to the new operating systems until after we have announced full compatibility.
• At this time, ExamSoft does not have plans to support these new operating systems on the SofTest and SofTest-M applications

Up-to-date system requirements can be found at www.examsoft.com/akronlaw.  If you have already installed the latest OS for  and have an upcoming midterm, please contact law-support@uakron.edu to discuss your options.  Thanks!

Professor Dermot Cahill is coming all the way from Ireland to talk to us about Brexit – the United Kingdom’s controversial decision to withdraw from the European Union. If you’re indifferent about this topic now, you won’t be after Professor Cahill’s talk. Come see how Brexit affects Americans – Wednesday September 13th from 5:15 p.m. until 6:15 p.m. in room 180.

Professor Cahill is the co-director of the Ireland/Wales Study Abroad Program many Akron Law students have attended over the last three years. If you’re considering studying for two weeks or four weeks in Ireland next summer, come meet Professor Cahill for an idea of what his class is like.

If you have questions about Professor Cahill’s talk or the Ireland/Wales Study Abroad Program, please contact Associate Professor Dana Cole at dkc@uakron.edu or (937) 219-1759.

Hello,

Examsoft has discovered an issue with the latest version of MacOS and Examsoft.  If you have not upgraded to 10.12.4 already, please hold off until after exams.  Other schools have noted that some students with this version have had troubles with the exam freezing while in the software.  For them, restarting the machine will typically fix the issue.  Remember that you can use the software even if you have upgraded, but it may freeze multiple times during the exam.  Examsoft is working with Apple to get a fix in place.

To determine what version you are running, click on the Apple Icon in the upper left hand corner and select “About this Mac”.  The 10.12.4 has a build number of 16E195.  Below is a link to Apple’s support documentation.

Exam files will hopefully be available later this week for your actual exams.  However if you wish to download and run the mock exam now, you may do so.  If you have any questions, please contact law-support@uakron.edu.  Thanks!!
