I did it over 5 years and it would consume all my free time during crunch periods. Definitely make sure your family is supportive - it’s like having a second part time job with occasional overtime.
replyHaving said that - I believe many companies view OMSCS as a strong signal. It’s a difficult degree with high drop out rate.
How is the privacy on that? Have an aversion to being watched on camera, etc.
replyDuring exams you mean? They swapped to honorlock which seemed way better and less invasive than proctortrack. It’s a necessary evil unfortunately.
replySomeone mentioned going to a testing center, maybe it ’s an option? Although they could put you on camera/facial recognition as well.:-/
replyI think you had to use the proctoring software. Some people had a dedicated USB stick and would just boot onto that for exams specifically. TAs have to review any flagged exams.
replyI'm pretty sure it's required for the degree's accreditation. Unfortunately, there is always a small percentage of people who will cheat if they can get away with it.
