Recently, I had an exam through ProctorU and thought I'd try to reclaim some privacy using Windows Sandbox when I learned that they utilize TeamViewer to take full control of your computer. This was not allowed only because parts of the control panel were disabled and they couldn't verify that I had only one monitor. I used a mirror to show them my laptop and desk but that was not sufficient. Spent a lot of time that weekend just trying to take the open-book exam.

I really hope that universities will consider their students before adopting this type of software.
