@kino yeah that is just annoying but they have their own procedures, unles you have lots of people on your side, nothing is going to change.

One of the adult ed courses I did in 2020 is like that, basic IT Skills ( just did that as it was lock down)here in the UK, I had to type answers in to a box, which is fine but for me, it is really hard, partly as I am used to writing longer answers, including citations, references, which LaTeX allows me to do easily so having to type in to a box, and what is worse having to try and type long urls in to a box is just a pain,.

This method is designed to deter or detect plagiarism, which is easy with proper referencing. Probably fine for most people but I am used to writing more detailed responses.
