This is thing.
If this choice is between:
1. A gameable system that will be gamed by most students.
2. An ungameable system that will unfairly punish those bad under pressure and time constraints.
There isn't really a choice at all.
One option would be a school-provided proctoring system, allowing teachers to outsource the actual test-taking times. It could be done outside of class time, at the student's convenience, and they could have 3-4 hours if they chose.

- jonahx 1y agoWith a proctored in-person exam, we're talking about the difference between gaming the SAT, say, and gaming a take home English essay. And rates of cheating of "well under 1%" vs "well over 50%". Even if we allow for less rigorous proctoring standards, we're still probably talking about "2-3%" vs "well over 50%".
