As someone who is 98% done with my CS degree, at a decent school, I think that 50% of fellow graduate cheated or had enough help from roommates to the point where a CS degree doesn't mean anything.

I once found myself in a small friendship that I found was fake (recognized someone from a large group project in my algorithms class) and he asked me for help on a problem so I went to meet him with the intention of helping while still following the academic policy. It then turned out to be 8-10 people all around a giant table passing a laptop around giving different problems a try. I subtly asked how they didn't get caught and they said they would complete a pset, distribute it to everyone at the table and on their own time would change things around.

Actually, if you get stuck on any problem you can just go to office hours and I've even seen TAs just typing code on a student's laptop.

My roommate TA'd a 4000-level class once and said that a lot of assignments looked similar to each other but no one went after anybody for honor code violations.

I absolutely believe it's possible to graduate without knowing much about CS or programming.
