If you are seeking to assess learning in a more flexible way but still want to have some form of exam, an open-book take-home exam may work. These exams rely on time constraints although they are generally longer than an in-person exam. If you use a take-home exam to replace a final exam, you must use the date set by the Registrar’s Office as your due date. Take-home exams may include limiting resources used, requiring students to rely more on course materials and their own learning. Such exams have less pressure on memorization, and often rely on more knowledge construction, helping to reduce the likelihood of cheating. They also allow a bit more time for students to work through answers and focus on analysis, synthesis and critical thinking which is especially useful for those students who are EAL or who have exam anxiety. These exams tend to be more challenging and have higher expectations than traditional timed exams as students are expected to edit their work and the focus is on knowledge mastery rather than quick thinking or recall.
