This was interesting. In math all of our assessments are given in person, with pen and paper and maybe a calculator.
This is because a "take home math test" kind of makes no sense. It's just too tempting to look up the right answers.
Perhaps in-person assessments should play a bigger role in brief writing assignments.

@futurebird@sauropods.win @toba@zeroes.ca this has been how the teen's high school has gone - Less papers written at home, more written in class Honestly I think it's a win/win, it also restricts the scope of the writing such that she doesn't have to spend tens of hours on it

@futurebird@sauropods.win @toba@zeroes.ca To be honest most college and higher level “classes” are stand-and-deliver lectures from the front that could very easily be a video to watch as the “homework” with the actual assessment than done in class time. Might hurt professors’ egos to be superseded by their YouTube self but it’d fix their cheating problem!
