general

I would just tell them to fuck themselves at that point

I've got a way lower threshold

requiring video would be where I say no, fuck you

same

Its an invasion of privacy

fuck you I am not doing a webcam, and no you can't have root access to my pc

It makes it worse that these companies like SafeAssign and SecureQuote, and apparently McGraw hill

just design better tests

have access to the live feeds of students

and are monitoring htem

Like, my university specifically told profs they cannot do this shit

at least the math and physics faculties did

>Respondus™️ monitor

imagine

You know that feeling on a test, where you look up or look around the room

and you think to yourself "I hope no one thought I was trying to cheat"

I do that in exam halls

I literally sit there for 10 minutes thinking

blindly looking around

a lot of people do it, it's really common

that thought still pops up I'm sure though, from time to time

when you're doing something innocuous

aren't tests basically all open book b/c of covid?

God, what a terrible feeling, to have to be worried 24/7 about a computer false flagging you

and failing you

There are if you do not have these webcam requirements bopit

these profs are trying to enforce closed book by the most draconian overreach possible

All my exams are just open book, and exams as a whole are worth less then usual

thats the proper solution

it's disgusting

covid classes suck anyways and nobody is going to care about grades for them

^

My only bad exam is my stats exam that is 2 hours long instead of an full day

there are tiers though

Zoom/virtual lectures >>>>>> the shitty anytime assignment ones

also if any of my classes try to do webcam

I am telling the prof I don't own one

Video recording lectures with zoom/msteams tutorials >> actual real time lectures though

I never got pika's money to go buy one

Wouldn't you already know bopit

doesn't that just mean longer lectures though Pika?

no

mine are just like 20-40 mins

if it's the full recorded one + the tutorial

as opposed to the 50-90 minutes a lecture usually is

What psychos

I think recordred lectures are actually solid

Don't take any class that requires one of those proctology tests

my profs (except for my chinese stats prof) are all nailing online video lectures

the main problem I have with online learning is it's really hard to show a professor your work unless you are workign digitally

but they're still posting lecture videos, right?

some classes aren't getting lectures at all

they're just getting notes, or powerpoint slides

and maybe a sentence or two from the prof giving direction

or those classes that just grade discussion board participation shit

My fluids class has 60% of my grade doing a "labbook" where I have to solve exercises and shit throughout the term and they grade me based on if I put enough work into learning the course myself

spooky I had a class where the prof literally just gave us writing assignemnets after spring break and that was the class

no notes

no video lectures

shit like that, would make me angry about paying for

especially since tuition is essentially full-price

have fun reading a textbook that you aren't required to own

yeah...

tbf

the pre spring break

was literally just group projects

with 2 lectures worth of teaching

he made us teach ourselves

nice

which is the gayest thing ever

idk, I had a freshman engineering class that was kind of like that it was fun

he also

made us make our own quizes

and grade our peers

the only thing he did was make a midterm and final

See, your profs are just lazy as fuck then

I had to correct him

3 times

idk if its an american versus canadian school thing, UW is doing fine with the whole online learning thing
