@SgtApple it's not going to solve the cheating problem or reduce it. Cheaters will just change their methods.

Pen and paper are tools; they might evoke romantic memories, but they do not necessarily make learning better or worse. They do make the process more antiquated, and that may be an issue in itself.

@locksmithprime @SgtApple While I agree that cheaters will find other ways, I support the use of different assessment techniques — writing essays, practical projects, lab reports, and written exams without tools all test different relevant skills and knowledge, and suit different people/profiles. Variation does help assessment but it is more time-intensive for lecturers. Re cheating, variation of means does make it harder, at least in my experience.
