I've seen this quite a bit during the pandemic, universities seem almost more concerned with exams than how to teach well in the current situation.

The amount of money being poured into tools to prevent cheating (which can be circumvented relatively easily) is astonishing.

Doesn't surprise me. They're in the certification business more than the education business.

Promising rigorous proctored tests gives their degrees more credibility than a self-awarded collection of MOOC course completions.
