That last line got me. I laughed way to hard at that.

This is a better tip than any tik tok life-changing mind-blowing tip I have seen.

aweee [EDIT: i meant “awe” because i don’t say “aw”]

same

that is soooo cute

What the hell is wrong with people, who seriously could ever have a problem with two people in love getting married?

So basically don't give any f***s and live forever

lol….I can’t Un see this now

Love it.

Look at that smile :D

When I was a college professor, all the exams I gave were open book.

As a math and science teacher for more than 25 years, I agree! It takes tremendous effort on the teacher's part to effectively structure a test for this. Students that want to learn the material like and do well on well structured open book tests. Students less interested in the subject would much rather have closed book multiple choice and true/false tests.

Interviews should follow this too

Open book tests were so much harder in engineering, but definitely more reflective of real life. Just knowing how to apply a formula is fine but what separates good and bad engineers is being able to truly understand these laws intuitively and derive new ways of applying them on the fly. The thing is, though, some people will just never be able to do that. So in that case I feel like all you can fairly test them in is just knowing things.

People who have never taken an open book exam think they’re easy. Thing is, you have to have actually read the book before the exam, as you have to know where to look for an answer—-and the prof will choose the most obscure stuff to ask about. If you didn’t read the book, you wouldn’t finish the exam, and you would be incredibly stressed out after having shuffled through the book frantically looking for the answers as the clock ticked its way to the end of class.

I have zero memory, and I have a pretty good career working for a great company, decent benefits, good pay. If I didn't have a wife and kids I would be a millionaire by now... Edit: That's not entirely true, if I didn't have a wife and kids by now I probably wouldn't have the drive to have that great career, I'd still be working at the job that I had right out of college and probably enjoying it, but I would probably still be in debt...

You can absolutely make a challenging exam that is open-book. Some of my hardest law school exams were the open-book ones actually.

Either open book or using notes. Either of those would work better.

Agree. In actual practice, in the workplace, people research all the time to ensure they have the right "current" answer. Information changes all the time! Are we training people to say, " That's the way we've always done it," OR "Gee, let me check that to be sure my understanding is correct" ??? Jeez, it's all a matter of how people are trained.

Yes! Open book but really hard exams to test the student's ability to apply the knowledge.

Perfect!!!

I agree.

This is actually how the real world works. You look up everything.

I'm a teacher. I give a lot of open note tests. That said, you can't refer to "the notes" or Google for everything in life. There's not a textbook for every situation. Sometimes you just have to know things. That's a big reason why not all of my exams are open note. I'm training my students to understand the importance of internalizing and retaining knowledge. It's actually an extremely important life skill.

Go the next step then. Instead of handing in your test paper, hand in the book ?

True

I agree - as that is the way life works...

All my uni exams (which weren't actually that many) were open book, except one that was all multiple choice

Retired teacher says Yes ,Yes & Yes !!!

I agree

I could have as many open books as I like, if it's maths, I'm still failing.

You may be right.

Would you like your surgeon to do your open heart surgery with a book propped up beside him?

I wouldn't say all. I don't think open book exams work with every language skill. You do need to memorize vocabulary, for example. But I do agree that some subjects can benefit from open book exams.

I gave the students worksheets to fill out at home using the textbook. We reviewed the worksheets in class. They could bring their worksheets to the test (but not the book). So if they did the worksheets and corrected them when we reviewed them, they would pass the test just fine. And I used the majority of the class time teaching what I thought they really needed to know and giving them time to share - not wasting time on a basically useless textbook.

Upvote X 1 million

Thanks to Saoirse Ronan, I know how to say that name.

I would love if they were all open book, I often forget everything the minute the test starts, and then I get super stressed and have to guess at least 2-4 of them

If I'm being prepped for an operation, I don't want to see the surgeon paging through a medical textbook, scratching his head, and mumbling "Where the hell did I see that before?"

Nah. You have to be able to memorize stuff. If s*** hits the fan at work you don't wanna be like "hold on a second, I just gotta look it up in the manual".

This is me everyday

OMG the ❤️ on the leg 😍😍

What a great family ☺️
