In doing so, though, it leaves behind bits and pieces of those blocked paths scattered around your registry. In order to completely stop you from accessing other stuff during an exam, Respondus goes into your registry and manually (supposedly temporarily) stops it from drawing those lines, and it also overlays over your entire screen so that your task bar and windows menu (or app bar on mac) is harder to reach. It's the part of your computer that streamlines basic tasks, like knowing how to open different file types, and drawing the lines from your double-click on an application to the code for that application, and how to read that code. In short, there's a very good reason why this part of your computer is so well-hidden. Respondus requires access to a very well-hidden part of your computer, called the registry, in order to stop you from changing to other windows/applications, or having anything else open. Think r/eli5, but not quite that dumbed-down. Being a computer science major and knowing that not everyone out there is tech-savvy, I'm going to try to explain it as well as I can, in fairly simple terms that most people should recognize. I'm here to tell you: DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, INSTALL THIS SOFTWARE ON YOUR PERSONAL COMPUTER. As I'm sure many of you fellow students have noticed, many (or all) of our classes at the U of A this semester are requiring Respondus Lockdown Browser for exams. I'm a junior computer science major at UARK.
There are a couple ways to avoid installing it at the bottom of the post. Avoid putting it on your personal computer at all costs. TLDR Respondus has a very high chance to break your computer to the point of being nearly unusable.
