Wait... are there universities that don't have an anonymous exam system?

    I was a university student around ten years ago and we usually wrote our names and student identification numbers right on the exam. For the most part our professors didn't really know us very well anyway (due to the number of students), so I never questioned why it should not be so.

    Probably. We have a system where you only need to write your student id number but often people also write their names since it makes kt easier to find your exam when going to see what you did right and wrong.

    Sorry but this seems almost archaic to me. When I was a student we were assigned a number by the exam office that we wrote on our exams, then after the exams were corrected the exam office would send us back our result. It was quite simply putting in a middle-man that did the student <-> number mapping so that the people correcting the exams never saw any names.

    Here, students can also view their graded exams online. There are some professors that don't do it out of fear of the exams questions being leaked. In that case, you'd go there in person, but you would definitely not be able to just go through the exams on your own until you find the right one. That would never pass data protection laws.

    I have never heard of this in my life, and I have no idea if my school does that. US student if that matters. I've either done exams online (but logged in), in person, or just had a final project that served as an exam. Hell, even popular HS exams like the PSAT and ACT should have our names on them, as far as I remember. Like maybe when they grade them via scantron they don't see it, but idk.
