I do think, seriously, that a take-home is the worst of both worlds: with a three-hour exam you build up to it, you ride over it on a crest of adrenaline and suddenly it's over and you can sleep. With a paper you can take your time to know what you're doing.
Completely agreed. I also love how some profs try to frame them as kindness to students, like, "Oh, it's only a take-home! It's open notes! Feel PRIVILEGED."
Gosh, it's gorgeous today. I hope you're out in it.
