If all tests were open book, then what are they "testing"..



-
Still not testing much. Really just checking to see how good our rote memory is cause that’s all these tests do. Useless.

You’ve got a good point, but the only way to ensure students really know the material is to take their book away...
-
I actually disagree, the students who took the best notes and understand the material the best will be the ones who get the best scores regardless.

Making a test open book levels the playing field to an extent, is more accurate to real life, and shows the clearest connection between whats learned in class and whats being assessed. Its just a better experience for the test taker.

Textbooks are a scam anyway. I graduated college without buying any books.

Most of our law exams at Wits were open-book because they tested application and not rote-learning!

Working from memory would be faster thus superior to working with instructions

I would modify this to all tests not specifically for your major. GenEd should totally be open book.
-
And also should have an application component. So, I can find this information in my book (or online) but can I correctly apply to a given situation? This would be much a much more useful method of measuring learning than testing memorization skills.

I disagree. Yes, you get to look at the financials, but you shouldn't need a book on how to complete a tax return.

Not sure about this analogy. It's more like your future boss expects you to know the calculation theory rather than spending company time googling the answer....
