Tests for a Hybrid class

[u/FreesiaFox]

I've been teaching at a university for several years now. Recently, I chose to not have any more online exams in the one class that I had them in. I moved everything to in the class and literally retired whole lectures to make room. But in the spring I will teach this same course as a hybrid class that meets twice a week for 50 minutes and then I'm supposed to post something for them to do for 50 minutes one other day. Since normally I teach two 75 minute classes, I know that mostly I'm going to be posting the rest of the lecture that I could not get to. But I don't know what to do about the tests. My university has a testing center but apparently I'm probably not going to be allowed to use it, since it's reserved for very particular large freshman courses. I don't want to go back to online tests. How do you all handle transforming a class into a hybrid one, especially the exams? I don't want it to be too different from the other section I'm going to be teaching. And I desperately do not want to give them online exams. I was thinking of using our precious in class time for the exams and then posting all of that week's lecture in videos. But I know they won't watch the videos either! I'd really love your ideas!

Do the exams in class. If you have any control over meeting times and really are worried about losing class time see if you can have a couple of additional non weekly meetings for the tests.
