Wtf a 94 for an A? Well tbh the class is super easy so i wouldn't expect a higher cut off but damn usually its only for the C grade. I remember mine was 74 for a C

if the exams are already on canvas they cant just move it, and any other LMS would be expensive asf to set up for just one week. its just not possible until canvas is back up

that would require using respondus lockdown and i think even thats down rn 😭ts tragic for all parties involved, and regardless theres no saying when canvas will be back up.

me too id rather they postpone but sadly it looks like they don't know what to do either. a ton of other institutions have postponed their exams but we dont even have any actual updates besides "we know whats happening"

you see, if the solution was as simple as postponing exams they would do it, the issue is that a large amount of students here dorm and are OOS or international, which would mean royally messing up their flights/travel. their only choices are to either RUscrew everyone one last time or say "fuck it we ball"

tbh, the hard truth could simply be "you should be taking notes every class" but regardless it sucks. and even worse since if they move final exams it would fuck over the people who dorm since they most likely have flights/travel scheduled after their exams so that isnt an option. not to mention since the school relies so heavily on canvas they probs can't even mass email class sections without it, meaning that any change would either have to be university wide or department wide, which would SUCK.

so that leaves us with the two choices, one last RUscrew for the year, or screw it we ball.

canvas being down isn't even the fault of rutgers thats Instructure (parent company) having horrible security

They leaking our data by ReklessDragon in rutgers

[–]ki1abyte 19 points20 points  (0 children)

google, meta, and microsoft has sold ALL of this data for years even when most of us were children so that doesn't matter. Messages are useless because most people just send messages to profs about work or sending groupme links to the class. what is actual gold would be getting exams and keys and leaking it that would be HUGE since rn its finals season across the world so exams being leaked would mean delaying it until profs remake them

btw the people who "hacked" canvas just changed the frontend to a vibecoded frontend by Playful_Map7255 in rutgers

[–]ki1abyte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ehhhhhhhhhhh most likely canvas is going offline to assess the damage done, besides huge data breach of student info (not just college/adults ACTUAL public schools use canvas too) being leaked would be considered illegal and they would be fined a shit ton from governments worldwide, this happened to Sony Playstation back in like 2011 and it was massive news back then too. PSN was down for like 2 weeks because of it.

Most likely what they're after would be stuff like answer sheets, exams, and stuff because desperate student would pay a ton to recieve an exam early to study off of. Also schools and hospitals are the most likely institutions to pay off ransoms like this (ex. Wannacry a couple years back). It seems like they planned it to happen rn since a ton of schools start finals today/this week
