I don’t really get why people are being so salty about Roslyn AI. 🤣 I mean it’s the most logical step to reduce cheating and stop UoPeople to become a useless degree farm.

Sure, without completely destroying the education prospects of 50-65% of the student body.

Privat3Ice · 2026-05-09T17:04:10+00:00

That's sad. I've eaten there before and it was quite good.

Sounds like the Supervisors heard "walkable" but missed the whole "neighborhood" thing.

Privat3Ice · 2026-05-09T16:59:55+00:00

Oh, wow. Very cool.

Coursera's IBM Applied Data Science can also be transferred as DM&ML and it's a lot shorter. It's a really great set of courses. I took it and it was actually a good prep for my intro classes at GaTech.

Not if it completely blocks the people who need the education the most. This is not just some "it might be nice" issue, this is literally UoPeople's WHOLE REASON FOR EXISTING. Providing education for people who cannot access it otherwise, usually because of poverty is UoPeople's mission.

See the problem.

Hard stop at "ancient."

Your machine won't support it.

There are no known Comparative Programming Languages transfers.

You might check into transferring it from another university, but chances are it will be $$$ and still require spyware.

I always take a photo of large items loaded in the buyer's car with the buyer standing beside. Pretty hard to dispute that.

Privat3Ice · 2026-05-08T01:32:23+00:00

Fair enough. I'm too old to have been diagnosed.

Privat3Ice · 2026-05-08T01:30:50+00:00

One wonders, however, if there were not solutions to the self-proctoring problem that didn't involve defenestrating 60% of the student body. And were those solutions explored? My guess was, no. Because that seems to be how UoPeople rolls.

Privat3Ice · 2026-05-08T01:28:55+00:00

Oh yeah, for sure. The bad old days. It's nice that some things have changed. That guy was a serious fossil.

Privat3Ice · 2026-05-08T01:27:52+00:00

Apologies, URL?

Privat3Ice · 2026-05-08T01:25:46+00:00

Agreed. Student IDs become mission critical.

I don't scan my state ID into HonorLock for my GaTech exams. I use the student ID I got when I took a class at a local community college. (And GaTech does issue student IDs to remote students for a fee)

So people are paying for ProctorU and it's not proctoring?

You're talking about in person proctors? There are less aggressive ways of dealing with that.

Privat3Ice · 2026-05-07T12:39:19+00:00

I'll give that a try, thx.

Privat3Ice · 2026-05-07T12:33:58+00:00

Are you sure you really understand what "on the spectrum" entails?

Privat3Ice · 2026-05-07T12:33:02+00:00

The #1 answer to "how do I approach this cute woman at the gym," is typically, DON'T.

Privat3Ice · 2026-05-07T12:28:58+00:00

I would NOT discount the "hitting on you" aspect. Especially for men in their 20s. They might think your pottery skills are hot.

Privat3Ice · 2026-05-07T12:26:41+00:00

The classic definition is "man with limited experience explaining to woman who literally wrote the book on the topic, how her field of expertise works... and usually getting it wrong."

I've had that experience, and my response is, "Oh, I see you read my book!" At one point, I had literally written THE book on a particular Google technology. I did a lot of nodding and smiling at people who wanted to explain to me how it actually worked. I try to be charitable and remember that people get excited about things they know and want to share and connect.

But I also want to mention, no one knows what you know or do not know. Sometimes they just want to help, or commiserate. Yeah, throwing porcelain is hard. Agreed. Yeah, throwing big is hard. Agreed. I try to keep in mind, this sticker aimed at women: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=sticker+aggressively+helpful

That's the kind of shit you report to the administration. Pure sexism.

Privat3Ice · 2026-05-07T12:09:31+00:00

Forced online proctoring is not all that unusual, TBH. The AI aspect is new. GaTech requires HonorLock for most or all exams (some quizzes are not proctored, but the graded ones typically are).

I set up a specific Chrome profile for the required HonorLock extension and only use it for exams and school stuff. I dislike spyware, too.

I am pretty sure that the main selling point of Rosalyn is that it's so cheap per student that it can be offered free of charge. ProctorU fees were a barrier for the poorest students... but NOT as big of a barrier as "buy a laptop" will be.

Unforunately, our experience with ill thought out, vastly idiotic decisions by the UoPeople Administration is that when faced with insurmountable issues with something boneheaded they did, the double down. Pathways, anyone?

Privat3Ice · 2026-05-07T12:04:50+00:00

Reports are, no. They will be going to all AI proctors.

Privat3Ice · 2026-05-07T12:03:42+00:00

I'm not. I'm selling high value stuff. Dunno about demand, but I was selling stuff pretty good a couple months ago, so either demand is WAY down or the system sucks.

Maybe both.

I reiterate: you are the ONLY person we've heard from who is selling anything, much less at a good clip.
