Exams still online

SIR – It beggars belief that leading universities are “using Covid as an excuse” to keep exams online (report, May 15). Are those in charge living in a different world from the rest of us?

For the majority of people (including at schools) life has practically returned to normal. Letting students complete their examinations online – and, in the case of Durham University, giving them 24 hours to do so – is ridiculous. What kind of test is it when students have access to the internet, notes and perhaps even help from others?
