For math and writing, we still have in-class exams as an LLM-free evaluation tool.

I wish there was some way to do the same for programming. Imagine a classroom full of machines with no internet connection, just a compiler and some offline HTML/PDF documentation of languages and libraries.



This is perfectly possible.

+-12 years ago I took a course on concepts of programming languages. The exam consisted out of programming exercises in a classroom without internet access.

Grading was based on the number of (hidden) unit tests that succeeded.
