WGRZ: Princeton ends 133-year no-proctor exam tradition amid AI cheating concerns. “Princeton’s honor system dates back to 1893, when students petitioned to eliminate proctors from exams and instead pledged not to cheat or assist others in cheating. Faculty formally banned exam proctoring that same year, creating one of the university’s most distinctive academic traditions. The newly […]

🚨 Oh no, Princeton! 😱 After a century of #trust, they've finally realized students might *cheat* on exams. Who knew? 🤯 Now, armed with proctors, they’re ready to assume every student is a criminal mastermind. 🎓🔍

Princeton faculty mandate proctoring for in-person exams, upending 133 years of precedent

The faculty voted Monday to require universal proctoring for all in-person examinations in response to mounting concerns over AI-assisted cheating and declining student reporting of Honor Code violations. The policy, which takes effect July 1, preserves the student-run Honor Committee system while requiring instructors to serve as witnesses.

Und Angestellte könnten nur geschützt werden, wenn #Proctoring in D grundsätzlich verboten würde.

So ist jede Online Prüfung für MA eine Qual.

Gericht: Biometrische Kontrolle bei Online-Prüfungen ist Grundrechtseingriff

Die Online-Überwachung von Prüflingen per Proctoring verstößt gegen die DSGVO, hat das Thüringer Oberlandesgericht nach Klage einer Studentin entschieden.

heise online

so, universities have an honor code policy

but also classes require stupidly invasive online proctoring for async

they use these programs like ProctorU which require you SHOW YOUR DRIVER'S LICENSE NUMBER TO A CAMERA and DO A ROOM SCAN

EXCUSE ME???

THIS IS AGAINST THE GODDAMN CONSTITUTION! '

IT LITERALLY IS!

Federal Judge: Invasive Online Proctoring "Room Scans" Are Unconstitutional

Online proctoring companies employ a lengthy list of dangerous monitoring and tracking techniques in an attempt to determine whether or not students are potentially cheating, many of which are biased and ineffective. This week, one of the more invasive techniques—the “room scan”—was correctly...

GarantePrivacy Vs Bocconi: il #proctoring è troppo invasivo

Il sistema adottato dalla #Bocconi in pandemia per verificare lo svolgimento delle prove da remoto configura una raccolta di dati biometrici e non di dati comuni. La Cassazione (12967/2024) accoglie il ricorso del #GarantePrivacy contro la decisione del tribunale

Otra vez una universidad usando vigilancia biométrica, ahora la Univ. Católica de Ávila. El uso de IA en reconocimiento facial para exámenes tiene un nombre: proctoring. Está desaconsejado por la AEPD, por problemas de privacidad. Además, tiene demasiados fallos y provoca más problemas que los que resuelve. En España ya hubo casos con Smowl, la misma app que usaron en UNIR en 2021. Lo conté aquí https://www.newtral.es/proctoring-que-es-evaluacion-examenes-vigilancia-unir/20210512/ #proctoring #privacidad
Cuando la evaluación de exámenes es vigilancia biométrica

Cuando el reconocimiento facial y el tratamiento de datos biométricos entra en los exámenes online hay derechos fundamentales en juego. Qué es el proctoring y por qué está desaconsejado por la AEPD y los expertos

@vosje62 @fransdroog @ReneDamkot Tentamens/Examens en Proefwerken zou je op speciaal daarvoor bedoelde en door de school/installing beheerde computers moeten doen. Hier privé computers voor willen gebruiken opent een onoplosbare doos van pandorra qua #privacy en beheer, terwijl het het spiek probleem niet oplost.

@ScienceDesk so, are you implying that the #ama was not #Proctoring our #md (s) #EthicalLicenses (ethical)?
