This might shock and amaze you, but I took many midterms and finals for my CS and EE classes using pencil and paper in the 21st century, and this was at a well-known Californian private university.
- endless1234 4y agoWere everybody else also doing it on pen & paper, or were you the only one?
- csmcg 4y ago? Every exam I ever took for my BS in EE was pen and paper. 2015-2020.
- shard 4y agoGood question :) Yes, all students took the test together on paper and pencil in the classroom; a digital version of the test was not available. I just went through my files to check, and indeed the final exam for my artificial intelligence class was in-class, 2 hours, pen only (no pencil).
