Its only more nerve-wracking for those wanting/needing to cheat.

No, actually having to go through a security check and then being monitored on camera messes up your concentration just a little bit, even if you're totally honest.

If you think this isn't bad, just wait for the big brother state that will ensue. The only hope is Ron Paul.

Too bad they don't do this at the ballot box.

It's only nervewracking for those who cheat? Not when big brother makes it easier to get on a plane than go into an exam room.

Oh by the way take homes are not what they are cracked up to be.

Well Tim, when you actually get to college, you'll think differently. I've never cheated on any exam in college and I get nervous when I am in classes where the professors walk around and do random spot checks, and look over your shoulder. Nerve wracking indeed.

This would multiply that times a thousand.

[Tim @ Oct 11th 2007 10:52PM]

Well Paul, aren't you clever by insinuating I haven't been to college. As part of my first degree, psychology, I learned the insecure try to belittle others in order to make themselves feel better. I feel sorry for you, Paul.

A couple nondescript video domes on a ceiling should be less nerve-wracking than professors walking around and looking over your shoulder. When in a test students will tend to forget about the video domes. Its the professor spot checking that takes students out of the test taking zone and is ultimately distracting. If anything the professors will rely more on this technology and less on random spot checks that are the real distraction. In this case video cameras shouldn't be a cause of anxiety for those who do not wish to cheat. The cameras would soon be forgotten when the test starts.
