What a wonderful teacher! I wish all teachers were like him.

Regarding the collaboration before the exam, it's really strange. In our generation, asking or exchanging questions was perfectly normal. I got an almost perfect score in physics thanks to that. I guess the elegant solution was still in me, but I might not have been able to come up with it in such a stressful situation. 'Almost' because the professor deducted one point from my score for being absent too often :)

However, oral exams in Europe are quite different from those at US universities. In an oral exam, the professor can interact with the student to see if they truly understand the subject, regardless of the written text. Allowing a chatbot during a written exam today would be defying the very purpose of the exam.
