What has been your experience with the dual camera proctor setup?
Hello,
I’m hoping some fellow students can chime in and share their experience with this dual camera requirement for remote class exams.
This was not an enforced GSU-wide policy for spring semester. Supposedly, this is a mandate and not teacher specific. Weird that they would not make a larger announcement via email. Let’s say they rolled it out for Summer:
I’m not normally this regarded but I’ll take responsibility for it.
After you scan the QR code, a browser opens up and says begin exam. In Firefox, there are no identifiable characteristics to determine if the camera needs to point via front or rear camera towards me and the desk.
- Rear camera facing desk
- Front camera facing desk
- In a wild effort: scanned QR code for browser then switched to camera to see myself. Bad idea, this ended up locking the phone, and since you can’t look away from the laptop camera, there is no in session corrections allowed.
Three weeks, three exams where the second camera has not worked successfully. I’ve been in communication with the PhD candidate the entire time trying to resolve this. Due to policy, my grade was flipped from a 95 to 0.
Outside of going to campus to take the exam, please send any recommendations or suggestions my way. I’d also be interested in knowing how to navigate appealing the 0.
Thank you very much.
