When I have used take-home exams I usually make 4 different versions of the
exam for the class and require that all work be shown to receive credit. I
usually structure the exam so that the questions are more involved, forcing
the students to do multiple steps and higher level thinking skills. Sometime
I will include essay questions also. I find that these test take longer to
grade, but for the "right"class they can be quite useful. Good luck.

S Take Home Exams
Aloha Mathfolks!
Does anyone have experience with the use of take home exams?
Do you think they are effective?
What about cheating?
I would be interested in your thoughts, wisdom and anecdotes.
Many Thanks,
Robert Garry
