That can be really hard in certain situations. My background is in biology. One of the more interesting and fun assignments I was given in college was a series of case studies. Basically, the patient has symptoms X, T, and W, what is wrong with them?
This is a situation where you can't give problems to an undergraduate student that are easy enough to answer while they're simultaneously impossible to Google. I'd love to give my own students the opportunity to experience these types of critical thinking questions. Unfortunately, I know that I'm completely incapable of assigning ungoogleable problems without turning them into some Dr. House shit that can't be answered by a college student.
- alextp 16y agoThe solution to this is to reserve a time and space (maybe with a TA) when/where the students are expected to do the work, instead of doing them at leisure. Few people would say it's wrong to not be able to google during an exam, but most would agree that not googling during exercises is insane.
