From the article:
* Unisa’s decision to conduct open-book digital examinations as part of this semester’s assessments has sparked outrage among some students.
* These include the possibility of the high volume of exam scripts clogging the system, and poorer students complained about a lack of data to download exam papers and then upload their answers. Other students were worried about their “online typing skills”.  
* Some students were concerned they would be stigmatised for qualifying by passing open-book exams.
