That is unfortunately still very common at many schools. Luckily, the profs are usually pretty forgiving, and will give you lots of space to write. They are mostly aware it's a dumb task and may require an entire sheet of paper for like 10-15 lines of code. I wouldn't sweat it too much. If you can hand print a message on a post-it note for someone, you probably have legible enough writing for those questions. They aren't normally big essay questions.
