When I was going to Uni my professor was strict about the fact that we could not use compilers/computers during our programming tests.
We had to physically write out code on paper.
I was really pissed about this at the time and felt it was antiquated.
His argument was at least we didn't have to deal with punch cards.
When he was a kid he would MAIL in his punch cards that he built at home and would have to pay for their execution so he would often have to wait 2-3 weeks for the results to come back.
