Hi

> The exams are proctored, and all the exams/assignments are graded via Goldsmiths University. It's 100% legit.

- Are all exams done remotely?

- Is it possible to skip classes and go straight to the exams in case I feel confident I can pass?

Yep, all exams are done remotely, using Inspera proctoring software.

The "classes" are just videos on Coursera - totally optional. You have mandatory midterm assignments, and either a final assignment or an exam, depending on the class.

Looking at Inspera proctoring requirements, it only mentions windows/mac. Is it possible to use it inside a VM on Linux?

Searching the course Slack channels looks like it doesn't run on Linux, nor a VM (though I'm sure with enough fiddling the latter can be done)
