Have you thought about getting rid of exams? Honest question.
I had a few progressive professors in college that completely ditched exams and went with either in person exams (think office hours with PG) or all participation and projects. I learned more from those classes than any class I took in all 4 years.
I know this style doesn't lend itself useful to all subjects but I feel that the academic community needs a massive overhaul in how it tests knowledge retention.
