Or just a paragraph of eight questions presented as number 1.
The hardest exams I ever had to take were from a professor who would hand out a list of 4 different multi-part questions, and tell you to answer 2 of them. The exam was open book and open note, no time limit. He would spend the 4 day exam week sitting in the classroom from 8 to 5 and students from any section of the class could start early or leave their unfinished exam with him and come back to finish it the next day. But your answers had to be comprehensive, and also demonstrate original thinking. You were essentially writing the rough draft of a book in response to the course, and so it might take you 16 hours to marathon your way through it.
Honestly, that seems like a really good education. It would certainly suck at the time, but you are paying a lot of money to be educated so it would be nice to walk away from a class and know you could genuinely speak to the subject.
