At my university (Caltech), professors are not allowed to give proctored exams. Most quizzes, midterms, and finals are take-home. I'm curious why you think such strict oversight is needed when it's possible for things to work with no oversight at all? Wouldn't that be easier for you and the few TAs you have available?

Hi xvedejas -- I so wish we had adequate resources so we could consider better formats for the course. I completely agree with you that this is not the optimal format.
