Proposed Alternatives
* Because the Engineering Education department assumes students have a tablet PC, they mandate installation of Windows-only software. DyKnow, for example, is an invasive classroom presentation tool with spyware capabilities, enabling lecturers to remotely control students' computers.
===Proposed Alternativesalternatives===
* USB Wacom tablets are available for fairly cheap and fuction as well as onscreen tablets. Many studets prefer USB tablets because the keyboard can be used while writing
* If tablets were made optional, students can purchase the technology they find optimal for them, rather than be forced to use a certain platform.
