npub1uw8g8f3g29gw8uxfcj5863rnc783xyk0alqm9mcsx3leut98dausxy88kr (npub1uw8…88kr) thanks for the answer, and I apologize if I sounded accusatory in my comment.
I left academia before I handed in my PhD dissertation which was three quarters written already because of burnout and systems I couldn’t exist in with a clear conscience were the culprit.
I’m neurodivergent and the way my brain is wired makes me extra sensitive to perceived injustices, dysfunctional rule sets such as the science credit requirement you mention etc.
I didn’t know I was wired differently at the time, and whenever these anti cheat measures and such practices put unnecessary stress on top of the expected amount from the assignment or exam itself, I blamed myself for not being smart enough or not studying enough. In reality, I was just having autistic meltdown after autistic meltdown during tests but I didn’t know that.
I guess I’m just venting here now but if I somehow managed to at least bring up a certain perspective as to how potential neurodivergent students might be affected from the additional stress, I’ll feel like I’ve done something useful.
Thanks again for the reply :)
