Theidea of capturing the energy from a geyser or even from the flowing lava of an erupting volcanois very exciting to students. However, the truth is that in the United States there is very limitedaccess to hot geothermal sources. On the other hand, the possibility exists throughout the

Because of this, take-home exams can be less stressful for students, however, theseexams can also create more opportunities for academic misconduct, particularly throughprohibited collaboration.This paper uses a hybrid-exam consisting of a take-home portion of the exam followed by an in-person portion.
