[Athen] Proctor U

[Karen Latimer]

I can't speak for my organization but my own two college students are
SCREAMING about how terrible it is. Connection issues, overzealous
monitors, losing time on tests for both of these things out of their
control, and at first, were required to pay for each exam they took.  It's
been a household nightmare lol.  The last one (this week, a final), there
were issues on the PROCTORU end which she had to wait while they figured
out; and that left her with 5 min to finish and submit the exam.

My other daughter with disabilities is totally FREAKED OUT by the idea of
someone watching her on camera; so she has done way worse with this
platform.  She always has had testing anxiety, but this sent it into the
stratosphere.

I haven't heard one good thing about it since we started.   Again, speaking
from a household experience, not an institutional one.

God bless the end of the semester...
