I am surprised that this module does not mention open-book tests. Some of the topics that I teach within a course are very challenging. On occasion, I will give an open-book test on that particular chapter. Granted, these tests are not the easiest. The students are still expected and encouraged to read/study the material. I find that students learn quite well from these type of exams as they are literally reading through the text to find the correct answers. Many times students do not study and come time for the test, they may just take lucky guesses or not. When a student does well on an open-book test, I know that they are motivated to do very well. They are actually learning. Remember that tests are not a measure of intelligence. They are just a measure of how well one does in taking the test. Students can be an A student and because of anxiety, they freeze up. On the other hand, you may get a student who does not show up to class, is late with assignments, but when they may have a stroke of good luck in guessing the right answers. I believe open-book tests are another way to assess students' learning.
