1. Uses up class time that could be spent teaching
2. Restricts the sorts of questions you can ask to those that can be answered within one class period
3. Grading hand written work takes longer
All that said, I only do in-class exams, but there are real drawbacks.

The argument has been “Dems shouldn’t talk about this issue because ‘immigration’ isn’t an issue where Trump is underwater.” Van Hollen has very clearly shown that that argument was wrong, both from a morality perspective (which was always obvious) and a media strategy perspective.

I think Senator Murkowski should decide what sort of world she wants to live in: one where people back down to bullies or one where they stand up and fight for their values.
