The exam style looks strict because students report final questions not matching the study guide and requiring the whole textbook, while reviews do not clearly prove proctoring or open-book policy.
Assessment risk
Strict

In-person reviews mention short-answer finals, study guide mismatch, and broad textbook coverage, but they do not clearly prove webcam, proctoring, Lockdown Browser, open-book, or closed-book rules.
“Dionne's final exam question are all short answers but her final questions are not from the study guide.”
