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.
Having said that - I believe many companies view OMSCS as a strong signal. It’s a difficult degree with high drop out rate.
- mixmastamyk 1y agoHow is the privacy on that? Have an aversion to being watched on camera, etc.
- nvarsj 1y agoDuring exams you mean? They swapped to honorlock which seemed way better and less invasive than proctortrack. It’s a necessary evil unfortunately.
- mixmastamyk 1y agoSomeone mentioned going to a testing center, maybe it’s an option? Although they could put you on camera/facial recognition as well.:-/
- nvarsj 1y agoI 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. I'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.
