I think “take home open book exam, good luck,” followed by evil laughter, is mostly a math department thing.

I remember having 7 day take home open book open internet exams in my math classes in college. We were also expected to typeset all our answers.

Those exams probably took the median student 30 hours and had a median score of 50% including partial credit.

Sad to think current students will never get that experience, because a chatbot could write something good enough to get a 50% in 10 minutes, for many of those classes.

Yeah, many of my physics exams were take-home open-book. One that I particularly remember: "Here's your exam. There's one problem. It's due when you come back from spring break."

		I graduated forever ago, but I still have bad dreams about this type of homework. That and the "oh no, I somehow forgot to go to this class all semester and now I have to take the final exam!"
