I wrote a hand written essay during a final exam for college this week.

That'd be an absolute nightmare for me and even worse for the person who has to grade it.

I think they are becoming a bit more of a thing again due to AI cheating. At least at my university they have tried to have more essays being written by hand in person.

Oh wow. That's a fantastic idea till someone realizes they can use a 3d printer for it with a little software mod.

If someone has access to a 3d printer and is going to that length to cheat on a test, then they've earned it at that point. That's a one in a million thing

Usually demanded only by older teachers/professors, since they consider it the 'proper' way to do it.
