1) Webcams: Invasion of privacy, some are abroad with poor internet connections, some are in lockdown with their families and have young siblings, some simply don't have webcams. Not all EAHM collegues adhere by this, it's not fair. It's uncomfortable for women especially the ones that wear hijab.



2) Students may not feel comfortable doing an exam while webcam is on, as they may feel that they are being watched the whole time and this will lead to lack of concentration.




3) Homes do not make for appropriate exam conditions since some students do not have their own private room, hence exam length and time should be adjusted accordingly or canceled for fair grading.




4) Backtracking should be enabled since exams questions will be shuffled and we might get stuck at the first question and shouldn’t have to make the decision of totally losing the points or wasting time attempting it




5) There's a chance of laptops crashing during exams and internet signals disconnection. Therefore, an alternative in assignments might be a better solution.



6) We need to be able to drink water and write down calculations as well and the camera will detect if we even look to the side.



7) As students we expect to have our opinion taken into consideration before purchasing and implementing a new system. We were surprised by the news especially 4 days before the commencement of exam week.

I have been reading your messages about how these webcam requirements feel like an invasion of our private lives. It is clear that so many of you are struggling to find a quiet space for exams while managing technical barriers that the administration refuses to see. Please know that I am actively working to get a meeting with the administration to present these concerns directly.

Seeing this grow so quickly confirms that I am not the only one feeling anxious and degraded by these new exam requirements. Knowing that so many of my fellow students feel this same level of disrespect gives me the strength to keep pushing for a change that actually accounts for our home lives.

Poor internet all time at EAHM student accomandation. The internet at my room did not even let me watch a whole YouTube smoothly once, not to say Webex and online exams.

Folks, Please note that keeping the use of webcam is an unethical and completely utterly pathetic invasion of privacy. Cheers
