Because my upcoming C++ test is hard I want to be able to alt tab into VSCode to test things. Obviously, safe exam browser doesn't let you do this. Any of you with first hand experience in getting around this? Hypothetically.

    It seems as though the punishment for getting caught is only a temporary suspension from the university, something like 2-4 weeks. I have also been studying plenty though. I may attempt to cheat without modifying the SEB, something like hiding notes in an angle the zoom call won't reveal.

    it’s honestly horrible to me to see programming taught this way. same goes for those dogshit C#/Java courses that introduce students to programming with a boatload of GUI dev shit on top of it all

    To be fair, most of our grades comes from assignments, we only have 1 test here at the end of the course.

      if most of your grade comes from assignments, why are you determined to do well on this test, even to the point of risking punishment? If i were you id just do the test, and if i suck at it ill still end up at like an 80 for the class. Unless of course you really need this grade to pass the class, in that case i understand. but if youre just trying to be a perfectionist and get perfect grades, dont bother, its a toxic mindset to have and ive seen it first hand.

        Oh, sorry, it's not really a grading system. It's moreso we either pass or don't pass every assignment, and we need to pass every assignment (Not necessarily at an A-level) and every test to pass the course.
