I once got "implement a BCD decoder" with about a 1"x4" space to do it.

We just had our first set of in person quizzes and I gave them one question per page, with lots of space for answers.
I'm concerned about handwriting, which is a lost skill, and how hard that will be on the TAs who are grading the exams. I have stressed to students that they should write larger, slower and more carefully than normal. I have also given them examples of good answers: terse and to the point, using bulleted lists effectively, what good pseudo-code looks like, etc.
It is an experiment in progress: I have rediscovered the joys of printing & the logistics moving large amounts of paper again. The printer decided half way through one run to start folding papers slightly at the corner, which screwed up stapling.
I suppose this is why we are paid the big bucks.
