#32A school that tracks attendance cannot be called a college or university. Kindergarten, I can swallow.
I'm not sure if you are in the industry, but attendance tracking is high up on most institutions lists of metrics to track. Aside from helping out the usual back office data, it's often a key indicator for students who are in trouble. The institution can then reach out and assist these students.
I think OPs point was about using attendance as part of assessment.

#33The media would have a field day and say that he hacked his school database. It's crazy how so many institutions are doing the digital equivalent of leaving an unlocked car in a bad neighbourhood and no one holds them accountable. Most people understand the concept of an unlocked car, not many understand that he didn't do anything special to hack his school db. He just strolled right in.

Exactly, it's like leaving your customers' cars unlocked in a bad neighborhood

Like keeping your unlocked filing cabinet on the front porch...

#36Good spot, but be careful in the future in your approach. Some places will nail you for having not stopped at the point where you unpacked the apk resources and noticed the API keys. Downloading the credentials might not have been the smartest move.

I attend a public school in the United States, and attendance is de-facto enforced by questions that you answer during class (using iClickers, or by quizzes you turn in at the end).
You never had a friend bring your iClicker in for you????

#38Is there any way to hide keys from the extractions? I tried it before and ended up to find that users can do that if they really want to.
No, you can just obfuscate it and make it painful to extract to potential reverse engineers.

Unfortunately, my friends in the class have annoyingly moralistic views on academic honesty, and the professor made it quite clear what the consequences of doing this would be :(

Here in India, the University I attended requires a minimum attendance of 75%, or they won't allow you to sit the end of semester exams. Your attendance even accounts for 5% of the score of your end of semester exams for that course. Quite insane when you think about it.
And having a full day class on Saturday when a weekday was lost due to bad weather or strikes.
