Proctoring for Exams | Essay based for everything else

[dfrecore]

In person is still far worse. That feeling when you are on question 50 out of 100 and people are done and getting up is awful…

When I was doing CLEP exams, we had our own private rooms.

I liked my in-person experience far more than doing it online though it was more convenient to do online. 

As far as online proctoring, things can go wrong sometimes. 

• The browser can crash, or slow to a crawl if you don't open/close the browser right before the exam. 
  
  
• My cam had some loose wire or something where it would DC as I was trying to show my room.
  
  
• My net seems to have a 50/50 chance of having problems at the exact time I need to take my exam. Lol.
  
  
• One time TESU's website crashed at the exact time I was trying to take my exam.
  
  
• These proctors sometimes have problems as well.
  
  
  
  

When I was doing CLEP exams, there were issues there too.  I much preferred my online proctoring through ProctorU (TECEP's mostly) to having to go to a campus to take exams.  But ProctorU was a pain, and there were always issues.  That being said, it's a toss-up as to which is better, they both have their pros and cons.  The thing I don't understand is people's issues with being watched on camera, vs. being watched in person.  Both were fine with me.  But one isn't better than the other - they're both someone watching to make sure you don't cheat.  I don't get how people differentiate between the two.
