<p>Sounds a little dubious to me – are these take-home exams things you can easily look up online and get the answers to or something? I’d not think so…</p>
<p>I’m a huge skeptic of how moral students can really get myself, but the way things are structured at Caltech, at least as has been described, I’m not sure if it can be called a joke at all. Where does your concern stem from specifically?</p>
<p>My honest belief is that if you give take-home work, it should be treated more like a report than an exam, which means things like time-restrictions seem a little out of place and waiting to be broken. I think, though, that difficult take-home work with no pretenses is probably the best way to get students to learn their stuff.</p>
