In our theory classes the students turn in hand-written examples. In fact, I've been using Finale less often in the last few years.
I encourage my students to do their harmony assignments on Finale Notepad because they can actually hear what they are writing.
Makes the world of difference for non-keyboard players, let me tell you.
