It doesn't even have to be on paper. That computer science exam can be done on a monitored university computer. The only bit that needs enforcement is not using outside resources, to show that a particular knowledge and how to apply it is actually in one's head.

Here in czechia they still do oral exams where you sit in a chair in front of an instructor and they ask you questions which you have to answer by speaking. I don't think there's any better way to show actual content mastery than that
Not everyone does their best thinking under pressure—some students know the material well but struggle to perform in a high-stress oral setting.
Jo, bohužel takový postup nefunguje tak dobře při větším počtu studentů. I kromě toho problému, jak najít čas na osobní výslech každého studenta, musim navíc vymyslet pro každého úplně nové otázky; jinak předchozí student prozradí obsah zkoušky následujícím. Asi v Česku máme menší třídy?
