Reminds me of a similar but more recent anecdote while I was in school (2005). During our lab exams, the teacher used to give us about 3/4th of the total time to write the solution to the programming question on a piece of paper, and the remaining time to type what you wrote on paper, make corrections, and compile. The programming questions were elementary like string manipulations, printing some pattern of `*` etc.. In retrospect, this approach made us to think about edge cases which now I'll think about much later in the coding process. The overall grade was based on the correctness and also on the number of alterations in logic made in the final running code. edit: by school, I refer to senior high school as in US [0] [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Senior_high_school#United_States https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Senior_high_school#United_Stat...
