That was common when I studied computer science in the nineties as well. Hand written exams mostly. Writing papers is a useful skill to have. And many students aren't very good at that. I taught some classes during my Ph. D. and supervised some students with their master thesis and PhD thesis work. Many students get their degrees without that really getting addressed. At least Computer science degrees in the Netherlands just spend very little time on writing skills. You get students with high school levels of English and Dutch and that's it. I learned to write properly only when I started my Ph. D. My supervisor made me do it right before he allowed me to submit papers for publication. AI might actually be good for education long term. It will result in a more personalized approach, which I think is good. There are plenty of ways to test students that are more engaging and interesting for both teachers and students than some of the old ways. You can't fake knowledge when you do a verbal test. Or test people with a good old written exam. And of course for teachers, you can automate a lot of the verification work. This can be a lot of work.
