Depends on the material. We had quasi take home exams in math because there was no reasonable expectation for you to be able to determine a series of proofs in an hour. We’d get a list of like 8-12 problems and like 5 would be on the exam for you to regurgitate your proof.
we had take final exam in a animal physio, but it gave a time limit so you cant just sit around searching google to look at all the answers. Also its done it a away its hard to search for the answers, and this was 10+years ago
