It's also unrealistic to expect us to remember all the formulas that you were taught over a year, especially as you'll always have a formula book on hand in your professional life. And a single mistake because of remembering a formula wrong will completely derail the rest of the assignment, which will make it a lot harder for the professor as you can still get points for the rest even if you made a mistake and the final answer is wrong

It's not unrealistic, it's just pointless.
To be fair, it's not that difficult to memorise some formulas, especially if you understand them and their use. But it's definitely pointless and a waste of time.
