Do you think there's plausable deniability with the user agent switcher? Like if a professor says I cheated, can I say "I don't know, I just started the program like I thought we were supposed to? I didn't make any changes"? On second thought, considering we're IT students, they can reasonably assume we're smart enough to install and cheat SEB.
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.
I think they make you download some software to take their tests. I've done what you said now, will that mean I can just open a test straight up in firefox, and they'll think I'm using the software (and have gone through the process of PC lockdown, clearing clipboard etc)?
EDIT: I ask specifically because, both in my modified firefox and in my chrome browser it looks the same and says "Your browser is accepted" all the same.
That first method I've now installed. It's what /u/TheCaconym suggested aswell, but is that safe? It's kind of the only thing I'm technologically literate enough to install, too, so I've not got much of a choice.
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.
