Fine Friday XI: Open-book Quizzes.

So usually when a teacher says that a quiz or test is going to be open-book, most people feel relieved.  I however, feel that in much smaller amounts.  Most teachers try to keep their exams at least a bit challenging.  For example:  Once a week in my World Geography class, we have an open-book and open-note quiz.  Problem is, most questions are from the in-class discussions.  Almost never can you find the answers in the book or the notes you took (sadly, I take terrible notes).  But usually you'll find a couple questions where you find it's worth it to lug the overweight textbook up the hill to class.

  1. oh man i have a complaint. so our teacher tells us we're going to have an open book quiz. normally her quizzes are multiple choice... this quiz she gives us, isn't even a quiz! because we have a few days to figure out how to draw the inside of a wall to scale. that was just rude. she said quiz!
