ProctorU is dystopian spyware
The whole notion of online proctoring seems pretty whack to me also: what world are we training and testing people to live in?  The real world has internet, you can search for stuff, you can work from home and take a break.I'm not good at things because I'm always able to magically materialize the right answer out of my mind inside an anechoic faraday chamber, I'm good because I get the right answer in a reasonable amount of time using all the tools available to me (the internet, my brain, books, whatever).I get that there are a few professions where you're really going to need to know the right answer quickly without looking it up under high-pressure situations, and it seems like testing and certifying doctors and lawyers is important enough to society that we can arrange to proctor those tests in person (and still maintain covid safety, disability/poverty access, etc).  That level of extreme proctoring security seems pretty dumb for random exams WHERE school If you elaborately cheat your way through all online classes all the way through undergrad, that seems mostly bad for you
