Abstract : Many chemicals have become ingrained in our daily lives, and many of them have the potential to harm our health if not utilized properly. Jordanians' attitudes and awareness about hazardous chemicals were examined in a prior study. This new study intends to determine Jordanians' awareness of the dangers of dioxin, phthalates, volatile organic compounds, arsenic, Triclosan, atrazine, chloroform, aluminum, glycol ethers, kerosene, Methanol, ethanol, and vinegar, among other substances. Between September and December 2020, the study looked at Jordanians in a variety of scenarios, including academics, laboratory work, and chemicals, as well as manufacturers and others. 245 persons were asked to participate in the study (71 women and 29 men); 44 percent of the respondents completed the dioxin questionnaire. And 40% of them were unaware of the dangers of a number of potentially hazardous chemical combinations. 65.3 percent had no idea what phthalates were, and 44.9 percent had given incorrect answers to questions about unstable natural substances. As a result, the girls and college students have been providing precise answers regarding the hazardous effects of various chemicals. With the aid of age, there isn't a significant difference between the common stages of chemical defense. As far as education is concerned, there is no discernible difference between the various stages of chemical protection.

Abstract : Approximately all universities in Jordan now administer online exams. The results of these tests feed into accountability systems. We examine the degree of satisfaction for online testing. Crucial to the study design is the fact that the university students vary in the level of education, age, Faculties and GPA. In most cases of our study, we find that students in favor of online exam. They find the online exam suitable for all stages, easier than paper-pencil tests, they prefer circulating online exams instead of paperpencil tests, time required to perform online exams is less than that for paper-pencil tests, and hence, preferable for future testing. There was somewhat less consistency in reliability of online exams compared to paper-pencil tests, participants find that online exams don’t reflect true level of examiners, suitability for all subjects. Participants find online exams have many disadvantages and increase stress of examiners.
