Interesting write up! I’ve thought about how university exams are done effectively nowadays. I took my degree in CS almost 20 years ago, and being a user of LLMS - I can’t really see how any of my old exams would work today if students would be allowed LLMs.

I graduated 15 years ago, and I think the exams in my degree were actually the most LLM-proof part of the student assessment. They were no-aid written exams with pencils and paper, whereas the assignments were online-submitted code only that an LLM could easily write.

Spoiler: they don't.

CS exercises that we can expect an average student to solve is trivially solved by LLMs. Even smaller local models.
