Quite a thoughtful way to adapt exams to wave of new tools for students and learn on the way.
I wished other universities adapt so quickly too (and have such a mindful attitude to students e.g. try to understand them, be upfront with expectations, learning from students etc).
Majority of professors are stressed and treat students as idiots... at least that was the case decade a go!
OP here: Majority of professors became professors because there were very good at passing standard exam (and, TBH, some are not good at anything else).
I’m different because I was a bad student. Only managed to get my diploma with minimal grade, always rebel against everything. But some good people at my university thought that Open Source was really important and they needed someone with a good career in that field. I was that person (and I’m really thankful for offering that position)

Is this a French thing? In the US we don't have standardized exams to become a college professor. Instead, we need to do original research and publish.
