That is a great idea!
Most students would find getting their hands dirty in this way more valuable than reading about something from start to end.
Yes, it led to well-rounded learning. But we had too many courses and, overall, I think it was too much. All CS courses had a theoretical exam, some project-based learning, and some coding exam to prevent cheating in the project-based learning part.
FWIW, exams testing rote learning without the ability to look up things would have been much easier. It was really stressful to sit down and make major changes to your project to satisfy new unit tests, which often targeted edge cases and big O complexity to crash your code.
