> You can’t wear glasses while taking the exam.

How is this not massively illegal? This is a clear ADA violation. I cannot see without glasses. Not like, things are a bit blurry, but like I have 20/800 vision that's correctable to 20/20 with glasses. Forcing me to take an exam without glasses is forcing me to fail an exam for a reason that has nothing to do with my academic abilities.

Yes, that's shocking. Many, many people are simply incapable of using a computer without glasses.

I can't, why is this even a requirement? Are they worried about a Google Glass like thing?

Actually surprised they don't require you to take the test naked.

Why not have an electrified anal plug inserted that they can zap if you look away from the test while we're at it?

This shit is crazy.

My guess would be so their algorithm can ID my face. Same reason I can't wear glasses in my passport photo.
