Many students feel uneasy about using webcams or monitoring tools during online tests, as it can feel like an invasion of privacy. While some appreciate the fairness and security provided by proctoring software for online exam, others worry about being constantly watched. Technical glitches or poor internet connections can also increase stress and anxiety. Some students fear being unfairly flagged for innocent movements or background noise. However, when schools explain how data is used and ensure transparency, trust improves. Overall, student comfort depends on balancing security with respect for their privacy.
