re: Berkeley Students Protest Exam and Demand ‘Take-Home Exam'

Man, at Tech you didn't ever want a take home test because it was a license for the prof to really shaft you.

This was my experience as well, especially in grad school.

I sure as frick would have preferred an in-class final to a take-home pretty much any day of the week. Professors at good schools will make take-homes so hard (and you will never find the answer on Google or your notes no matter how hard you try) that it can become a farce. I suspect that some of these Berkeley professors are smirking and thinking to themselves "OK, home slice, try me".
