I have to ask: what mechanisms are in place to thwart cheating? Specifically, paying for someone to take all those tests in your stead. Though it's possible to cheat at traditional universities in individual courses, it becomes increasingly hard over the duration demanded for attendance even on an accelerated schedule for lots of small reasons that add up.
- miguelrochefort 5y agoEvery exam is proctored: - A live human proctor watches your screen and webcam the whole time. - You need to show a 360 degree view of your room, walls, ceiling, table, floor, ears, scratch paper, etc. - You must use an external webcam elevated on a stand that can see both you and your screen at all times. - You must show your face and your passport or ID card before each exam. - You can’t talk, stand up, get out of view, or take a break during the exam. Although I’m sure some people could find a way to cheat, they make it extremely difficult. I have taken over 30 online proctored exams from WGU, Study.com, Sophia.org, Saylor.org, TOEFL, and Georgia Tech’s OMSCS, and I can confidently say that WGU’s proctoring process was by far the strictest.
