I don't remember take-home exams in the nineties when I did computer science. Is this really that common to start with?
Because it is not an issue if you don't do it in the first place.
The problem with take-home is similar to the problem I saw with open-book. Now, you were maybe biasing the results to favour people who can skim through the book more efficiently. It is not really about people using knowledge they absorbed. I hated open book -- it put me at a great dis-advantage because i was much better at slow absorption.
Is this a left-over artifact of the covid-19 times? Why would there be take-home exams? I know I'm getting old, but wouldn't a return to in-class exams be the first line of defense?
Instead of using AI to cheat, we should leverage AI to give individuals personalized guided instruction. I’ve asked LLMs to help guide me with learning a new concept. They can do a phenomenal job assessing your knowledge and gaps and building an individualized learning plan. I find it a more effective way to learn that college ever was.

How AI plays the right role in the learning process is currently an important task for educators
They do not have the competence to do this.
Recognizing this is the first step.
