I don’t get why exams are made more complicated than it needs to be. When it comes to homework and projects people could cheat on the entire thing, but when it comes to exams just keep it offline and those who know and those who don’t get exposed quick. And if 70-80% of a grade is the exam grades those who don’t know end up failing even if they get 100% on the take home stuff.
For comp sci classes there might be more reasons to allow internet access and computers on exams. But, for traditional math, history, writing, and science courses there’s no real need for anything beyond paper and pencil.
