How could they have tested them without detection?

Probably, until it happens everywhere. My main point was that, at least in their perception, this is something happening at many/most UC campuses

I see it slightly differently. It "levels" up the poor programmers in the sense they can submit a ton of output that seems plausible to managers. But it can also help Sr engineers, differently. They tend to use it in smaller, mo

My CS program required one year of upper division math. But you could take anything (I took set theory and meta-logic from the philosophy department, it was actually pretty hard!). They did not care about the specific math skills, they wa

My (UC) CS (pure software) program required a bunch of math, but not for the math. You could talk almost anything (I did set theory and meta-logic), it was required to ensure a certain level of mathematical formalism and reasoning. Which

I read the subreddit for the UC I went to. When acceptance letters went out this year there were (as you expect) a ton of questions from accepted students. About 1/3 to 1/2 included questions about how bad "grad deflation&q

I'd say most of my CS classes (in the 90s) had us write out code by hand, on paper, during in-class exams. It was fine.

To expand the UC system to accommodate everyone who could do the work would require repealing Prop 13, much harder.

While this is worse in degree, it’s not new. I TA’d in the early 2000s and the first day students were warned that we used automatic analysis to find programming assignments that were similar to previous submissions. And renaming things, m

I know this is not a popular / mainstream position, but I managed a very large fleet of systems this way: - no system swap - enough memory for core system services set aside in a cgroup for them to use - by default, all prod service bi

Among many, there is a zero sum attitude. This goes back to the founding and slave owning in the south.

The index they use is altering the rules. I complained to my account rep, he agreed it was not great and is asking the fund mgmt what the plan is. I doubt there is a lot they can do.

And you don’t want a 100% cutoff. You need to admit some people just under the threshold since the scores are relative. You need fresh data to keep the model tuned. Some kind of weighted lottery
