berde Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 If your professor announces that your next exam will be open-book (meaning, unlike in normal circumstances, you will be allowed to open your books / notes / math formulas / etc. while you take the exam), do you look at it as an extra challenge? (Because if your professor were sadistic enough, open-book exams mean the same as saying "I'll give you an exam so hard that you won't get a passing grade... even if you've got your books open." ) Quote Link to comment
howard_the_duck Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 OK to sa subjects that need calculation. kung hindi, what's the point? Quote Link to comment
baratobama Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Extra challenge! Though I'd keep the book just in case I need it. OP, nice avatar. Quote Link to comment
ButtChicKick Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 Should be a challenge. Open-book exams simulate the situations professionals face every day, when they use resources to solve problems but they tend to be useless in introductory subjects in which facts / skills must be learned or thoroughly mastered if students are expected to progress to complicated concepts in advanced subjects. Students who are lacking basic knowledge may waste too much of their time consulting their references rather than writing/answering. They seem to reduce stress though. Quote Link to comment
boobooboi Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 these kinds of exams are effective IF there are a lot of concepts to be memorized and you simply what to make the student pick one. Quote Link to comment
discoduck34567 Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 usually these exams are super challenging and its not really an advantage to have the open book Quote Link to comment
jermitano Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 usually happens on psychology exams... Quote Link to comment

Retired1234 Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 sa engineering matakot ka pag open book ibig sabihin sobra hirap ng exam. Baka wala ka rin mapala sa mga libro mo.hehe Quote Link to comment
azayco Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Open book exams mean that you have to either: 1. study very hard because you will most likely not find the answers in your book; or 2. improve your searching skills ala Google. Quote Link to comment
shrike Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 what's the fuss, open book or not, still the same exam. if you know the subject matter very well, no amount of effort from your prof can bar you from achieving high grades. focus. :thumbsupsmiley: Quote Link to comment

Di m alam kung matutuwa ka na open-book o hindi. Kasi nakakapangliit pag open book na tapos bumagsak ka pa Quote Link to comment

jun dela cruz Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Used to have open book exams in chem lab course back in college. Prof was an American Jesuit priest, really learned a lot from him. Quote Link to comment
grandmaster Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 In my quantum physics(FINALS), open everything as long as you can write it on paper, you can bring it on the examination room. Anyway, I had written the whole ppt but it was useless. The exam was so difficult. The same goes with my Electrical Engineering subjects. The examples in the book is way too easy compared to what is given in the long exams. Magtataka ka nalang sa results kasi wala manlang naka singkwenta porsyento sa klase niyo. Quote Link to comment
DOLOY Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 ok ang open book exams lalo na kapag proving ang examination dahil nasa libro yung mga theorems, corollaries, postulates, etc. Quote Link to comment
mnlbay45 Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Open book dahil wala sa book ang answer, applications. Quote Link to comment
ButterOfAntimony Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 Ang alam ko lang pag open-book ang exams sobrang hirap. In our course kahit board exam open book because of so many constants that we need. Quote Link to comment
RuinasLasCorazon Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 added pressure... it depends on the subj. and the prof kung mahalimaw siya magpa exam... ero malimit gwin yan sa ust... isang beses lng ako nakaranas ng test na open book. Quote Link to comment
erato Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 Pag ang exam open book or minsan take-home, nagdadasal na ako ng matindi, tinatawag lahat ng saints in heaven. Minsan ay kinailangang magdikit-dikit ng 10 sheets of long bond paper para makagawa ng accurate graph at gumawa ng tie line, operating line, etc. s@%t that was hell. Quote Link to comment
