Toronto Metropolitan University (formerly Ryerson University). I only had a 90% in HS and didn't get into good CS/ECE programs (thanks grade inflation, my marks went up in uni). If you're not in Waterloo/UBC/UofT the quality drops drastically. We don't even have an automatic grading system for code. You have to go in-person to a lab and demonstrate your code "working" while the TA asks questions. It's actually a requirement that you put all of your code into a PDF and submit it. I have LaTeX macros that do it for me but most people literally attach 50 screenshots. I don't see this getting better. CompArch is a required course (COE608) but the assignments are too hard so the school just gives out prewritten code to everyone. The hardest part is copying and pasting from the PDF and removing the smart quotes. Also, the provided code is wrong. I found this out because I wrote everything from scratch and had to explain to the TA why my implementation of a shift instruction didn't match the correct one. I think everyone involved views software as a cash grab.
