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.
