No, earlier I was just saying that they should probably move to a different kind of assessment than a traditional exam. But that is a lot easier said than done, and many upper level classes do so anyway.

When my girlfriend studied abroad in Denmark, for instance, all four of her classes were assessed based on end of term project work rather than exams. So it's not impossible. But it's also untenable to do something like that in a 200 student intro class, so idk.

I'm not sure how much all this matters thanks to online test banks anyway. When I graduated undergrad a few years ago, and even in my masters, old test banks were so thorough that a professor couldn't use a question from the past 5-10 years without several student having seen it beforehand. They basically dealt with this by never giving out finals, where the average score and grades would often plummet and create the bell curve. I guess you wouldn't be able to directly reference the old test material during the test if you were monitored from a separate web cam.
What level was your girlfriend? Because thats how grad school usually works here in the US
