As college students increasingly rely on AI tools like ChatGPT for completing homework and exams, professors are reintroducing blue books for in-person assessments to uphold academic integrity. Demand for these inexpensive booklets has surged—sales increased by over 30% at Texas A&M and nearly 50% at universities like Florida and Berkeley in recent years.
