Even in 2010 at Berkeley I was doing a fair amount of paper coding. Some of the professors gave paper-only tests, and we'd practice a bit since you didn't want a midterm to be the first time you had to do it.

Though I also remember sketching programs on paper as a teenager for my TI-83, since it was annoying to type everything out and then have to make a bunch of edits.
