I did a fair amount of my master's degree in computer science online. With that being said, it wasn't very easy. The tests were legit. The classes were "pre-recorded" by the instructor, but every year had new recordings. We were able to ask questions in an online forum and/or via messaging with the teacher or the TA.

It felt like my undergraduate studies. It sounds to me like schools have gotten a bit softer and/or your school is really bad.

With that being said, take it for what it is if you don't have any other options. Dive deep into your textbooks, learn as much as you can, look into outside resources, keep on coding. You'll come out better on the other end of it.
