Actually, my comparison said nothing about the hypothetical college test being closed book. The professor's reaction would still be the same.

Clearly you have some reading comprehension issues yourself.

No, I read just fine. I guess I just didn't attend a university that allowed me to take a test as open book. Apparently you did, or assume that some colleges allow that.

In the end, taking an open book referee test when you want compared to a college test is nowhere near the same thing. Comparing the two just makes you look like a bigger fool.

Quit trying to force your morals on others and get over yourself. Can't believe how the OP is getting ripped by some of you holier than thou types on this board. I would hope we could help each other along and share information rather than rip each other impose your morals.

I actually did take a couple of tests in college that was open book. Not common, but that is what happened. We were given the test questions before and could review before the actual testing time.


I think it is a silly comparison to talk about what happens in a college exam where there might be some standards for a professor to a test that might be taken across the country and each professor comes up with their own test and how they administer the test.

If he is not from your state, then why would you or I care what he thinks or what the result of the test does when it has nothing to do with you and me? Testing is done so different from one place to another, getting a test early does not mean you are unethical. It just means you like reviewing the test early. And professors in my experience often had study sessions before a final and often we went over questions that were going to be asked on the test.

I think that is a bad comparison. People are owed deductions they do not report or do not give other information properly because they did not know they were supposed to. That is why you go to a professional for that help and even then things are done improperly. I do not see the IRS going after everyone that does not report certain things of their income either.

Peace

I took a calculus exam in college that was open book, and not only that, but we had a week to complete it. It happens.

I did too...and the best score was still just over 60%, even though it was open book. I still have nightmares about that one! :eek:

You are so funny man.

He gained no advantage. He didnt even get brownie points for turning in the test faster than others. Our state normally opens this up in Mid Oct. Dunno why they opened it closed it and said we must wait until Nov 1 to see a national test that was out there. I like Jess was excited to work on it. How was an advantage gained? No one cares what score we get.

In fact we had a situation last year where the test 2 came out and had a question about a technical free throw after the horn in a tied game. The big time referees who just took the test and cheated by copying the answers got the ruling wrong in the game and they didnt have OT. That is pure cheating. He said he got the questions so he could study an open book test...

Bud you are something else. Glad Jess is ignoring you. Glad you are ignoring the dictionary definition of the word and what it means. Thanks for others who have come to Jess defense. No reason. Clearly someone is looking for drama when there is so many better things to discuss.
