Interesting move by the Danish government. Raises lot sof issues about assessment, the nature of the questions, what we are training students for and academic integrity.

Open book exams are not new. Students taking exam questions away and returning a week later with an essay was happening 30 years ago.

I agree, but this makes it more upfront and challenges what we think of as an exam - bits of paper and a pen. Who needs those anymore?

I've always favoured the format used for the entry exam to the Chinese Civil Service during the Han dynasty.
