Entitled bitch

Today, after telling a student that she had to take the online test on the date that I had assigned, she whined to the vice president of the college, who then told my dean that he needed to do something about it. She made me offer testing days on multiple dates. So much for integrity. FML

Today, I told one of my teachers I have to attend a family member's funeral on a day she's passing a test. She straight up asked if I could reschedule it, and if not if I could just give it a miss. FML

Today, one of my classmates asked the teacher to postpone her presentation because she had to study and the teacher happily agreed. When I approached her, the teacher started yelling at me because postponing deadlines is irresponsible. I just wanted to make sure we didn't need to bring our book. FML

Today, I went in to take my College Placement tests. I'd spent all week ignoring actual homework to study for these tests. When I got there, the responsible told me that the tests were last week. FML

Today, I was sternly told that if I didn't pass more students, I would be out of a job. I then went to my class to collect papers, and was stymied by how I could be giving passing grades to the 12 of 24 who didn't turn anything in. College students. FML

Today, I got cited for "internet plagiarism" and called to the dean's office. I'd been sitting a closed-book written exam, and my teacher had been breathing down my neck the whole time. FML

Today, my class was called to the auditorium. We were told that some asshat proctor took a picture of our testing room during out test and posted it on Facebook. Someone noticed that according to the rules, we were sitting too close to each other, so now we have to retake the whole test. FML

Today, not even a month into the new semester, I have a hearing at the Dean’s office for academic dishonesty. My classmate and “friend” who I’ve been doing online quizzes with at home (considered cheating) decided to throw me under the bus, all because I wouldn’t let her borrow $100. FML

Lock your doors

Today, while taking a test in my online class, my sister unexpectedly showed up. She panicked when she realized what I was doing, as the class has a strict rule of being 100% alone during tests. I assured her that because she wasn't helping me to cheat, it would be fine. Turns out it wasn't fine, as I got a zero. FML

Today, I got my results on a recent, important midterm. During the exam, I'd noticed my instructor had accidentally left an answers page in the test packet, so being honest, I didn't look at them. It turns out she did it on purpose to help us pass. I failed. FML

Today, four hours before a test, I received an email from my professor saying that the test had been canceled. When I checked my email again before bed, I found another email from my professor saying that his email had been hacked and the test was was still on. FML

So create three versions of the test and open up three time slots to take it. Your version of the test is determined by which timeslot you take the test during.

Honestly, he’s right. Though often times, the school will have a deal with a company like that. My college used LockdownBrowser. It screen recorded, filmed you, and prevented you from accessing other tabs. The only way students could cheat would be if they either didn’t have a webcam, or covered their webcam and claimed it was broken or something.

Even if you managed to get them to take it in a tight time window, they'd probably still cheat unless you paid through the nose for a Big Brother outfit like ProctorU. It's hopeless.

it's very common to cover webcams and everyone has a cellphone or two computers. locking one for an online at home exam is next to useless.

I can think of a way around that although it would take a dedicated friend and some secret hand signals. Open zoom or Skype or whatever your choice, initiate conversation with friend in same room, screen share with them. They see your questions, look them up, hold up answers behind your computer that you can see and webcam can’t. Use hand signals for “I need help on this one” or whatever. That’s pretty complicated though. Probably easier to just study and actually learn something.

Sure cheating is easy. Unrelated, academia breeds this behavior.

Honestly, as far as college online courses, it really depends on her reason for needing a different day. For example, I voluntarily took all online courses before the virus because I was going to be having a child during the semester and needed flexibility to be hospitalized at any given point. I had to drop a class because the professor would only give the final exam on ONLY ONE day and it was way too close to my due date. Online students go online because they need flexibility, so if that's at all the case, YTAH.

This is what I hate about today's society. The millennial generation is a bunch of self-entitled, spoiled rotten whiners used to getting everything they want handed to them on a silver platter. They don't know discipline, they don't know limits, and they don't know how the world works. Our future is screwed.

Make the dates on days you know she has plans.

When I went to college, if we had more than 2 exams scheduled in one day, then we could reschedule any one for another time that the professor was testing another class or had office hours.

Did you ask her why she could not take the test that day? What if she had a scheduled surgery or any other appointments she could not reschedule? Why can you not offer more than one date?
