Take-home exam. I'm sure it's on cramster or something. -- nm - nubby Dec 8, 07:03 19
- 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
        
        which I'm sure is how nubby could tell right away the answers were copied. - loosilu Dec 8, 07:23 2
        
        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
        
        ....goes really really far when I'm done with it. - Jason Heyward Dec 8, 07:31
      - 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
