I thought the same thing. We students could get straight A’s if we were allowed to use the book and our notes on the test. I wonder if we allowed Medical students to do the same what the result would be
<We students could get straight A’s if we were allowed to use the book and our notes on the test.
I’m a professor. In some disciplines, it is not unheard of for students to have an open book exam or be allowed to bring in a page of notes or formulas.
You’d think they’d get A’s, but they don’t. Some will do poorly, some will fail - even with the text in front of them.
Why - because they mistakenly think they don’t have to study. It doesn’t help to have the book if you don’t know where to look. It doesn’t help to have the formula, if you don’t know what formula to use and when.
