\begin{itemize}

\item Select {[}PARM{]} from the Remote Control or Main Menu. This will
take you to the Course Parameters screen, where you can set the open date, due
date, and answer open date just like you do for homework.  

\item You may wish to give your students a time-limit to complete their exam. Use the table mode and click the {[}--{]} in the {[}Default Value{]} column next to {[}Time-Limit (interval){]}. This will give you a pop-up window where you can set how long a student has to complete the exam once it is accessed between the open date and due date.

\item To inhibit students from seeing if they got a problem correct, click the {[}--{]} in the {[}Default Value{]} column next to {[}Show Problem Status (problemstatus){]} and choose No.  Multiple tries behave like a virtual eraser and the last submission recorded by the student is the one that is graded.

\item To only allow students to access the exam from specific comptuters, click the {[}--{]} in the {[}Default Value{]} column next to {[}Client IP/Name Access Control (acc){]}. In the window that pops up, you can type in the specific IP address or hostname, ex. \texttt{s1.lite.msu.edu} or \texttt{35.9.119.101}.  You can also specify a range such as \texttt{35.8.*}, \texttt{*.msu.edu}, \texttt{35.8.[35-49]}.  You can enter a comma-separated list of multiple values as well.
