I have zero issue with anti-cheating measures insofar as two conditions are met: Student here, and I get what you are saying, really. u/Image_Fluid describes the problems with this software in more detail at the bottom of the thread, I recommend everyone go read it. This is not a simple webcam recording software, that I would be fine with, it is a software that captures all data that flows through your home network, from any device connected to that network.

Now how have they violated this agreement? By forcefully introducing software that is a violation of not only my privacy but a violation of everyone who shares an internet connection with me.

So I am forced to continue with this summer agreement even though the school has violated the agreement. You see but I can't do that, I've spent my own money on these courses, and it's past the drop date for financial credit. Nobody is forcing you to go to uni during this time. If you dont like the rules, drop out of school and come back when it's normal again. I voluntarily entered an agreement for the summer semester with the school and now they are changing the terms of the agreement presumably before exams. When you enter into any agreement, you agree on the terms before the agreement, if you change the terms during the agreement you have just voided your agreement. If this is how the school wants to operate then that's the way it will be. please understand that even if you think people should "grow up", there are a lot of factors to consider about all of this.īy paying tuition, and attending school, you are agreeing to the terms. Some may not even have the funds to get one theirselves so. Also, not every university student has access to a webcam. You aren’t entitled to have people seeing your home space. Being filmed on campus is different simply because that’s a public place. BUT I’d still feel uncomfortable with the concept of it all, which is why I’m one of the many people in the replies who are not okay with this. I don’t cheat and if they want proof of that, fine. Personally, I wouldn’t have a problem showing my surroundings. That’s good for them but there are still lots of people who won’t be okay with this idea. I’m not invalidating people who aren’t ashamed of showing their rooms for an excuse. Like I mentioned, not everyone is okay with showing the conditions of their study spaces. There is a difference because these are planning to be done for in-home exams. Some people don’t always have the nicest places to show to their teachers and may be embarrassed to show their studying place, even it’s going to be seen by one person. There are students who aren’t comfortable with that type of stuff, period.
