Glasgow University says the return to closed-book exams follows concern about artificial intelligence.
Students have criticised the University of Glasgow for reintroducing in-person exams for some courses at short notice.A group of Life Sciences students say they have been given two months notice that exams will be reverting back to their traditional closed-book, handwritten format.It will affect Life Sciences exams for students in years three and four of their degrees.
"Up until now we've been tested on the way we format an argument, we've never been tested on our ability to recall information. That's something we are going to need to teach ourselves. "They are telling us to use past papers to study, but the past papers for the past four years have been for online exams and before that the course content was different," she said.Ms Harris is concerned the exam could affect her whole degree outcome."I'm 30, the last time I sat an in-person exam I was 15. Others haven't ever done it, it's a three-hour handwritten exam.
"I have social anxiety so it can be difficult to attend classes sometimes. Adding an exam in too has been really difficult." The University of Glasgow said a range of measure have been put in place to support students in their preparations.
