Programming tests on pencil & paper?

How hard is it to cut off access to the Internet in a computer lab and give programming tests with a text editor and compiler? Do most universities administer tests on programming on paper, or does my school (a state university) just suck? I would have been done with that test today way faster if I had access to cutting and copying and shit, not to mention who writes a program and doesn't even compile it?

All universities suck.
You sound bitter.

No programmer EVER writes code in paper.
Maybe, but good programmers can do it.

Wrong. FFS, how do you think most bugs are being found to applications?
There will always be bugs a compiler cannot find. But with a good language and a good programmer, most bugs will be found by the compiler.
