Same memories here for the everything through senior year of BS, but after that things were more self defined projects with a lot more gray area for functionality, API definitions, etc.

I thought/have heard secondhand here that MS was more along those lines, but I may be completely wrong there.

I only did undergrad there, but was friends with several MS students. It seemed to largely differ course to course. Some were more research/project oriented, and others seemed more like an undergrad course with a narrower focus. Format might have even differed based on professor. Either way it doesn't seem a stretch to use autograding for a MS, at least for non-thesis options.

Perhaps, either way I'm always hoping for the alma mater to do well in all areas its involved in.
