Yeah then you just have to find some other way for students to show that they've mastered some skills. It's hard to do that with intro classes without exams. They wouldn't be able to cheat, but they also wouldn't take a note or pay attention either (most of them).
As for the suggestions by babariba....I really don't know any teachers here that'd take money for your grade. Honestly if one of my students doesn't do well, I care, but not to the extent I'd risk my job for their grade. That's just insane.
As for the phone and photo stuff, we check for that. Phones aren't allowed out, you can't listen to your ipod, you can't text message anyone, etc. Some instructors check for student ID's (you get one when you first come to the college) when people turn in exams, and you also have a university published list of people in your class (with pictures) that you can compare with. The most likely way to cheat would be to hide the notes on a small piece of paper that was mentioned....to try our best with that we do have more than one person walking around looking for things in the classroom.
