Wow, looks like I graduated from WGU just in time.
Iโd never, ever, ever in a million trillion years install this piece of crap hellishly invasive surveillance malware on any machine of mine ever ever. I never wouldโve considered WGU if they had this requirement when I started there. Real-time proctor monitoring of your screen and testing environment was bad enough; this is full Stasi.
This should be required of no one and is incredibly harmful.
Yes, yes, I couldโve easily gotten around this by buying a cheap computer only used for WGU. But why should I have to do this? And many students who attend the school (like every school) cannot afford to do this or are in an environment where this would not be possible (overseas soldiers, those testing on company computers, etc.).
I just squoke by before this was implemented; I wouldโve gone to ASU Online or U Pennโs online program or UFโs if this insane requirement had been in place at WGU, despite those being a lot more expensive.
Will no longer be recommending this school to anyone, despite having a mostly great experience there myself. Avoid avoid avoid.
