Exams...and advice!

This post by Prof. Gordon Smith at Venturpreneur (link via JD2B) details his fabulous version of the law school exam as well as some great advice...it's probably too long for the cut and paste routine, and for some reason (probably operator error given my mechanical ineptitude) I wasn't able to leave a comment or do a trackback. Suffice it to say, the idea of allowing students to display creativity, problem solving skills, prioritization, and time-management skills on the exam seems like a great idea to me. I speak for no one but myself, but I hate the "cramming" and "regurgitating" routine probably as much the professors do (or at least as much as I imagine they do)!
