Timelapse can be recorded online, just like a security camera with upload to cloud does, so it will be impossible to edit later. Cheating will be visible because of sudden changes in text of the program.
That is, as I said, unacceptable. Among other things, it means students can't use their editor of choice, and students with disabilities who use assistive technologies will be much more likely to be flagged as cheaters. It also won't stop anyone from cheating by doing the exercise with Copilot and typing it up a second time for the time lapse.

I love this idea. Maybe some extra credit if your Stage N-1 is the most popular choice?
That is exactly what happened. You got 1% extra mark if somebody picked your code. Seemed trivial at the beginning of semester,right? ...did I mention my team had previous real life experience? We put extrnsive code and documentation and FAQs online (this was like 99 or 2001 don't remember, but we'll before Github etc) , and committed to 7 day support of our code base. We got 18 out of 22 picks after phase 1. Of cour…
i mean... at 18 out of 22 you look at the teacher and say: look at me! I'm the teacher now!

Depends on the school and depends on the person. The same way many companies in the US assume any grad from MIT is a good engineer, there are companies who look at resumes w/ an MSc and bump them up. From personal experience, MScs are particularly well-regarded in Brazil, for instance.
My question wasn't "do companies think that an MSc is good" but rather "Have you, personally, ever noticed that a candidate with an MSc was better than a candidate with equivalent experience without an MSc". I think we can all agree that whether a company thinks something is good is completely unrelated to whether that thing actually improves your programming ability.
Yes, some times.
