Who doesn't supervise an exam?

Some instructors don't supervise grad course exams for the following reasons:

  1. Grad school grading is a joke anyways, everyone gets a B+ at minimum
  2. The content is so state of the art you won't be able to cheat. You won't find reasonable answers online, or on your neighbors exam
  3. If you're paying full tuition for grad school and still slacking off, that's on you personally.

My undergrad also have an honor code, this means some professor do explicitly not supervise exams. Most of these professor would sit outside in the hallway for questions.

Some would do crossword puzzle, some would play kriby on 3DS
