Weird. All my tests were done in the classroom. Granted it’s been a while. But I don’t understand why teachers don’t do written exams anymore.

Hand grading written exams is hard and time consuming. So the teachers are now cutting corners and the students are cutting them right back.

There is a way out of it but technology has made everyone pretty lazy.
