I had an…interesting…take home exam in college. The max score was 100, but the test had 200 points. So, if confident, you could answer half the exam and still get the highest score; if not confident in answers, you could answer more questions and rely on partial credit
It was a week long take home, “open everything” (book/Internet, but no discussions online or IRL). In some ways the hardest exam I ever took, but I learned a lot, and some of the questions were specifically meant to introduce new subjects.
Apparently college computer science classes are now doing paper exams… I can’t even imagine learning the standard library of the language the prof chose (nowadays probably C++ which I despise and has a crazy standard library) so well I could write code on paper without completion and LSP. And without editing! Writing code outside of neovim already seems like torture.
And it’s all AI’s fault. I swear to god, AI has ruined programming.

And then OpenAI ruined it all. They’d never give us an exam like that today
After failing the test ”You’re absolutely right, the answer is most definitely C.”

I’m guessing you never had to write an IT exam in Germany at any point before the introduction of LLMs. (╥﹏╥)
