The administration decide this semester to activate the geolocation for the iClicker student app and the distance range is so small that if you are not in the classroom, you can’t enter the poll. So, anyone had been able to cheat the system? Maybe with a VPN or something else?
You can try a vpn and/or GPS spoofing on your phone… but you screw it up once and get caught your ass is grass. Probably not worth the effort. Just show up, put headphones on and study in the back.
ima be honest with you chief, if we’re talking the same clicker system i used in undergrad it probably works by the receiver in the classroom manually receiving the whatever waves from the clicker itself. the only way to cheat the system is to have something (or someone) manually click the clicker for you in the room. i dont endorse cheating, im just telling you objectively what would need to get done
Just go to class lol
If you know how to code, I think Selenium lets you set an override for geolocation. Not sure if it works if you do it directly in browser but I haven’t really spent much time trying.
The ol fashioned solution is have a classmate use your clicker lol. Did that in undergrad in an emergency because I used to take the bus to reach my 8am class and sometimes the bus would skip my stop or get delayed lol.
If you knew how to do this you’ll be a entry level government cyber security specialists and not in med school
My classmates used to have one student click for the whole friend group so only one of them had to go, but it was considered cheating and there were major consequences if caught including lowering your grade by a whole ten points (so if you had lower than a B you’d fail the course).
Thank you! I forgot to write that we use the iClicker student app.
