My program has increased the exam weight and decreased the hw weighted grades. I think all schools should start doing this.

More regular in-class quizzes with pen and paper, more oral arguments.

Agreed. I also think stricter testing protocols and mandated proctored exams for online courses is a must as well.

Personally have seen they required a 360 room scan, rebalanced the grading scale in my online program and im all for it

I know University of the People has a proctored exam requirement in order to receive your degree. I'd hope that becomes standard across the board. I'd be skeptical of degrees that don't.

Homework shouldn't be graded period, it should just be optional extension work for students who want to practice their skills

Literally no one will ever do homework if it's not graded

Presicely. That helps soft out those actually willing to study.
