Most college classes that require papers don't require exams. They usually have final papers or paper projects. Exams generally occur in the sciences. If you'll note, most of the work he's done is not in those kinds of classes.
Plus, many people can retain information and sit exams, but that doesn't mean they can put together a paper that requires research and independent, critical thought. That's a very different skillset Than memorization and regurgitation.
