I played some. Not much. Didn't have it myself. Played at other people's houses. Thought 3 was impressive but I don't remember why
20% is much better than the 150% or whatever you mentioned earlier XD I enjoyed writing code on paper when I had those exams. They went away around third year ;( I've had some on computer too though. You were given a test setting, so there were no previous files to look at and cheat. Also no Internet
lol the 150% was me messing up my arithmetic when calculating the mark I had going into it. :P I said it right in the tweet. I've never even heard of on-computer exams for programming. :/ We don't have enough computer labs for that, I don't think. And it would be way too easy to cheat otherwise. (And even then, probably too easy to collaborate.)
I know the tweet was correct lol We were spaced out and supervising people would wander around among us. No Internet (or little Internet. Assignment instructions were online and that was the only page whitelisted) and limit on what programs could be opened (they were blocked). They went all out with the testing environment on Linux XD
Mm, I've never been in a course here that hasn't had at least 200 people in it so they'd have to take over a whole bunch of labs to space us out at all. :P
Oh. I have small class sizes. At least the tech ones are. Business classes I've had that size. And written tech exams where they put all course sections in one room. Math classes large too. But for the computer-based exams we would pic a time from a schedule. They were in succession. I'm assuming each session's questions were different or at least they had a few they rotated. We don't have a lab that could fit that many people XD
I think it's totally the opposite here, haha. Most arts classes are super small compared to any of the math/engineering courses. Although, I imagine business courses would still be pretty massive considering how popular an elective/minor it probably is. Never interested me though so I've never even looked into what the classes are like in that section. Typically anyone who wanted to take business went into the Math/Business double degree with Laurier anyway though and they are on a completely different schedule from everyone else at my school so. :/
I went to a small school anyway, so my classes were usually around 20 or so. The biggest one I ever had was like...35 and the smallest was 3.
