Dropped a proctored online math class over the summer because of this. Chronic pain, chronic mental health conditions, was struggling with identity issues being a bisexual male.
I did not want to be doing something stressful with someone recording me. Was assured everyone has to do it and we always proctor math exams (been taking online courses since covid and never had to deal with this).
Same course, different instructor this semester. Not proctored. Uses worksheets to make sure students are learning the material and not using AI or cheating some other way.
Not sure if the stink I raised over summer is why. I suspect not based on how I was treated. I think he's just a better teacher that knows how to combine the online courses with traditional techniques more skillfully. The other instructor only used McGraw's online materials and nothing of her own.
An adult treating adults like adults it sounds like to me. Hope you are doing better now.
Yeah, he's an excellent professor and his show your work problems have some good humor in them.
Had to calculate the payday loan payment as if it was interest (using real world values). It's over 300% if you think of it as APR.
Super predatory.
