+Context
+-------
+Data validation in the Django Rest Framework "is performed entirely on the serializer class". Doing validation at
+the serializer level provides a few key advantages, such as making the data validation code easier to understand and 
+reason about.
+
+The Advanced Settings view is a Django view that allows reading and writing course metadata to the modulestore. These data
+proctored exam settings (e.g. "enable proctored exams", "proctoring provider", etc.). This view leverages the CourseMetadata class
+to read from and write to the modulestore. The CourseMetada class supports data validation in the validate_and_update_from_json method.
+The results of calling this method can be saved to the database.
+
+We are adding a Django Rest Framework REST API that exposes an endpoint for reading and writing proctored 
+exam settings to the modulestore. This REST API will be used by the course-authoring MFE to support a new
+Proctored Exam Settings page.
+
+Decision
+--------
+
+We will not implement additional validation 
+
+Consequences
+------------
+
+This section describes the resulting context, after applying the decision.
+All consequences should be listed here, not just the "positive" ones. A particular
+decision may have positive, negative, and neutral consequences, but all of them
+affect the team and project in the future.
