My son is taking several courses through a community college in our state as a distance learner. I casually asked him if his work for the week was done last night, and he said there is a block on his quiz and couldn't take it- it wanted a password. As it turns out, the instructor decided to require that test be proctored on campus.
My frustration is about a 10. There is nothing in his syllabus about coming to campus for quizzes, and of course my son didn't ask permission to use a different proctor at the "start" of the week which is his fault, but the whimsy of adjunct faculty makes me crazy. My son is out of time and will take the zero, but since she doesn't open weeks of the course until the day of, neither of us can figure out if future quizzes will require proctoring and the teacher doesn't answer emails, so arranging this is going to be ridiculous.
This is why I love CLEP. Ugh.
