    - I usually don't understand why Profs issue take home tests anyway -- nm - Hotkiss Dec 8, 07:13 17
      - takes off the pressure of a timed test? -- nm - loosilu Dec 8, 07:16
      - It would be impossible to give them a test that could take 2 hours. -- nm - nubby Dec 8, 07:16 10
        
        I get that. But they seem to almost encourage cheating. What can you test that a student can't end up googling? -- nm - Hotkiss Dec 8, 07:18 9
        
        Essay questions. -- nm - mara Dec 8, 07:22 3

        At least you intentionally miss a couple -- nm - Strongbad Dec 8, 07:25 1
        
        I once caught two cheaters in my labs by how they phrased sentences. - loosilu Dec 8, 07:27
        
        No doubt some take-home tests are relatively easy, but the hardest tests I ever took were take-home. -- nm - Don Homer Dec 8, 07:22
        
        I'm willing to bet nubby can write google-proof Physics questions -- nm - Strongbad Dec 8, 07:20 2
        
        I picture all of nubby's questions starting with "A baseball traveling 90 mph ..." -- nm - decline Dec 8, 07:24 1

        problem solving. -- nm - loosilu Dec 8, 07:18
      - so students can learn -- nm - CQ Dec 8, 07:15
      - Sometimes, because they want to cover more material than they can test for in a normal 50-minute class. -- nm - Strongbad Dec 8, 07:15 3
        
        They test for morality more than material. -- nm - Hotkiss Dec 8, 07:17 2
        
        I don't see that they test for morality any more/less than standard tests. -- nm - Strongbad Dec 8, 07:31
        
        And they should get docked for failing the first part. -- nm - loosilu Dec 8, 07:18
    - These kids now a days and their fancy websites haha. :-) -- nm - MDH Dec 8, 07:04
- Nice... -- nm - Strongbad Dec 8, 07:02
