“Respondus” sounds like either:
1. the AI police bot agency in a cyberpunk story (“don’t make so much noise or Respondus will be on our asses!”)
2. a suicide drug (“things got pretty bad. I found a Respondus box by their bedside at one point”)

There are competitors in the space. My wife’s university uses Respondus Lockdown Browser. An advantage of it is that students have laptops anyway They don’t like installing stuff though and could be hacked respondus-lockdown-browser.en.softonic.com

Took my last final exam for the semester yesterday, forced online. Mid exam my ISP had an outage that lasted OVER 6 HOURS! I couldn't submit my answers online but I have a PDF copy of my work that I had to submit anyway, I'm praying I'm in the clear. Fuck Respondus lockdown browser and fuck optimum!

I swear, Respondus Lockdown Browser has the most absolutely cursed way of handling license association on Mac deployments. (It pulls it from the fucking package file name. If you rename it so you know what version you have, it breaks!)
