To be clear, the correct response to testing in the all-online semester is to design tests that are open-book or where internet access is less useful. So focus on analysis/synthesis (read: essays) over fact-recall...rather than using invasive distance-proctoring methods.

What about subjects like foreign language? It’s hard to give analysis exams in low-level FL classes. Learning a Foreign language is basically elaborate memorization anyway

Depends on the language, I suppose. I'm qualified to teach Ancient Greek and Latin and either would be fairly easy to test - at the lower levels with exercises and at the higher levels with translations (prepared or sight), with time limits to prevent look-everything-up-ism.

What kind of exercises would you use that wouldn’t be easy to look up?

So, I'd open-book something like that (because why not) but with a time limit narrow enough that looking everything up would take too long. That's not hard to do - a student trying to look *everything* up is going to take forever.

But inside that? Decline a noun that you haven't seen before but conforms to a pattern you know. Here are some principle parts, conjugate the verb. Here are a bunch of simple sentences (composed of vocab and grammar you are supposed to already know), translate them.

Here is a short story in English using entirely vocab and grammar you know, render it into Latin or Greek (though, to be fair, Greek composition is a hell of a lot harder than Latin, so if you're going to do this, you'd better have done comp-work in class first).
