I think at least somewhat, exams in general are less stressful these days
for several reasons....
1) it seems like many college classes are opting more for "capstone" type papers/projects in lieu of a traditional exam. So a project due on the exam date rather than showing up in McBryde 100 for an actual exam.
2) believe it or not, many now classes have "virtual" exams. Sign in to a secure browser and have at it from anywhere.
3) professors seem more willing than ever to work with student athletes. I think just generally speaking there aren't as many old hardasses that have to have things done "my way or the highway".
I think some of this was ushered in with COVID, and some just a sign of the times...
