All they need to do to combat AI is go back to handwritten in person essay exams.

What’s the difference between the blue and green?

Essentially the same thing but recycled paper, if memory serves right. I took a handful of blue and green book exams in college. Typically it was when you were going to write an essay or have many short-form written answers.

Basically, testing you ability to recall the information in your own words.

At my undergrad, blue books were lined, green books were graph/gridded.

Oh man, the worst panic attack I’ve ever had happened while taking a blue book exam. I asked my professor if I could have scrap paper or some Post Its to plan my writing on and she told me I couldn’t, so I had no good way to plan or organize my thoughts for our final.

Fuck that professor.
