I spent a few years at Caltech in an academic role (not as a student). I never understood the rationale behind the unsupervised take-home exams. Could you elaborate what is it that makes it a 'success', in your opinion?
The shortcomings that seem obvious to me are:
- Penalizes honesty
- Implied notion that Caltech students are "honourable" and honest. How is this achieved in practice?
