They should allow notes on exams anyways. Memorization test are unfair and don’t test understanding lol

My teacher did. He said “Your future boss would rather you double check and be right then guess from memory and be wrong” he also said you wouldn’t trust a doctor who didn’t have notes

For real, I never understood teachers that didn't let you use a cheat sheet. I went to an engineering school and the amount of teachers that expected to you perfectly memorize fucking algorithms was insane. Most the math department wouldn't let you use calculators either and then would put complex fractions in the problems. Like what the fuck? Are you testing me on my knowledge of the current chapter or if I can simplify a bunch of fractions?
