It is not illegal in public spaces but it's definitely not ethical. I plan on mentioning it

I guess to "read" the non verbal reactions of the people we are filming? Idk really. It's just sketchy

I was definitely shocked to see it. There is a disclaimer of "don't put yourself in danger" but these are still worth a hefty percentage of our grade. I'm honestly very uncomfortable with it.

Honestly I'm not sure. The professor has been there awhile and I'm assuming this assignment isn't new, but I might shoot an email off to my advisor anyway

Exactly! It even states you cannot tell anyone it's a class assignment until after, but I will likely go in and be like "sorry, but..." And explain what's going on first

Let's be real here, is it really a level or more of a spectrum?
