In-class exams or "take home" exams - which of them provide better assessment of students understanding in engineering?
Sometimes it is really hard to decide what type of exam reflects students' conceptual knowledge best. From one point of view, in-class exams assess students' ability to think in fast and efficient way; on the other hand, take home exams can reveal deeper understanding of the topic through more sophisticated problems. What is your experience in this area?
Thanks!
