![]() What ended up happening there is that students just took all those questions and pasted them into Chegg and other sites, and immediately got an answer. Physics I and II also tried doing this, but they limited the amount of questions so that it could actually be finished under the time limit. Many students in the class felt it was not a good measure of their knowledge in the course because an exam like that is not able to thoroughly test every topic on the test, and still reasonably take under 50 minutes. Even if a class were able to do this for every student, this is near impossible to keep as a fair exam.Īs you may have seen from the CS 1331 Stasko thread on here a few weeks ago, he did exactly that where every single student got a completely unique exam with questions that were designed to not be easily answerable, even with open internet and a text editor/compiler in front of them. One point I want to address is "stop using auto-generated questions and actually create unique questions". By signing up for a course that is remote, you are agreeing to the proctoring requirements. LockDown Browser is fine and all GT uses it for is to kill other processes on your computer. Especially now with everything shifting online, my professor isn't even holding synchronous lectures. I get that it takes time and effort to rewrite tests, but I'm paying almost 50 grand a year (not including summer) and this seems like a reasonable expectation given Tech's prestige. At least unique enough to not be answered in detail by the first result when you paste it into Google. IMO the best way to prevent cheating is for professors to stop using auto-generated tests with question banks and actually create (relatively) unique questions. How much more effort is it to just look up stuff on your phone or another computer? It's like locking the door when you have no walls. Open-source software would be a lot better too.īeyond security, I don't think this will even be effective. The only way this would be acceptable is if we had laptops or something provided by the institute to separate our personal and academic data, but they would never pay for that lol. ![]() Given how Tech manages to consistently leak large amounts of student data every year, I have little trust in them ensuring our safety and privacy. The level of access this implies plus general obscurity of the software seems like a security issue. The terms and conditions dictate that the software can record your webcam and microphone (creepy) as well as "certain" system and network data. I support deterring cheating but I feel like this is an invasive and ineffective way of doing that. I have a professor for the summer semester that wants us to install this LockDown Browser for tests. Accounts impersonating staff/faculty are not allowed unless appropriately flaired.
