#DOES EXAMITY LOCK YOUR SCREEN TV#

Please message me if this *ever* comes up for you and I'd be more than willing to support you as an ally! (It's actually what I do for a living :)) It was the first time it was raised as an issue and I was 3/4 done with my program when this came up.Īs I mentioned above, I believe it is ableist and classist to require formal documentation of a diagnosis to support a student in receiving accommodation. Student Accessibility Services said that the proctor was probably worried about me copy/pasting information from the exam and that's why he stopped me from highlighting. Thus, because I had the accommodation to use that Chrome extension, I was 'allowed' to highlight text. I don't require it to be read to me, but you have to highlight text for it to work. The accommodation that we came up with was the 'Talkie' extension for Chrome, which is a text-to-talk application where you highlight text and it reads it out for you. This was frustrating because I do not believe that it should require a doctor's explanation or medical diagnosis ( which are massive privileges) to support accommodations. I submitted an accommodation request: and had to submit a note from my doctor (in my case my psychiatrist) stating that I needed to be able to highlight text to focus while taking my exam due to my neurodiversity. Wishing you better luck in the future, friend. I take my exams in my office/comic room, that has posters, models, and comic books on display from wall to wall, it's a very busy room, and i've never had any of the problems you've had. I've stopped my exam and said, 'i want a piece of gum out of my backpack, are you watching?' I've also had my cell phone directly in front of me facing the camera b/c my wife is pregnant. running through it like that 16 times out of my 17 OA's I've only had the one proctor ask me to move the clear glass, which ultimately went back on the desk. I then go sit down and show task manager and get ready to rock n roll. I then take out my phone and show them my photo ID, i put my camera back where it belongs and then walk over to the shelf behind me and say, 'here's my phone, i'm putting it behind me'. After they see me do that i go to my monitors and show them the ends of the HDMI's from the monitors.

I use a wedge b/c i have 1940's doors with mortices and skeleton key locks. I then TELL the proctor to watch you close and lock/block your door. I start the session, i start the webcam and share my screen. B/c i do not have ANY of the issues most of you have described. How they saw that through light blocking curtains 🤷🏻‍♀️? All in all still really glad that I don’t have to drive to an in person proctored exam because I live in a pretty rural area. During a storm they interrupted to question the noise made from thunder and the flashing outside the window from lightning. They then later suggested in the future to just leave it plugged into the laptop so when I share the screen they can see if I were to attempt to use it. Another that made me crawl under the desk to unplug my external monitor from the wall and show them the cord even though it was unplugged from the laptop. One had me move off my desk and use the bed behind me to take my exam on because there “wasn’t enough room to see me take my exam”.

I have had one proctor ask me to show the tv was unplugged. I have just started out suggesting that to make it easier. I have a laptop and temporarily switch to the HD camera on that so they can see it better. Always have had a problem with being able to see my ID.
