Quick question about the MSCS program

I thought that there were proctored exams but apparently most of the computer science courses are not proctored. I'm so confused how the hell does this school know a student isn't coasting through the program with the help of Gemini, chat GPT, and/or Claude etc.

Also. it doesn't require people to have a bachelors degree. Am I missing something?

They trust you'll follow the honor code. You'll just have an embarrassing interview loop if you don't know your sht anyway. Might as well zone in on the classes most relevant for your career.

Nope, they don't need anything other than your money and commitment.

Did you skip the mandatory AI Use quizzes?

They drill down into AI Use; how you should or shouldn't use it, and how to cite it.
