It's cheating by copying the answer from an answer sheet without opening the book. I think a much more beneficial thing to do would be to post all the rule references for each question and leave the answer as an exercise for the student.

The point of an open book test is to get the person to OPEN THE BOOK. Many, if the answers are provided, will simply enter the answers and learn nothing. How many times do you make a correct call and catch hell for it because half of your partners you ever have believe one of the many myths that are so common? Too often for me.

And you can tell from,"Please send me the answers at..." that these posters are not taking the test, not looking up the rule, and just filling in the little circles.
|
That's the whole point. You can't tell. But, if you provide direct rule references, you konw that they will at least have to open the book to see for themselves.

I wish we could get a page with both the answers and the references. It's so incredibly frustrating to just get an answer and not find a reference to back it up. And some of the references are in the weirdest places...
