Are open-book exams actually that simple?
The Open Book Exam (OBE) is not as simple as it first appears. These tests are frequently quite challenging. This is not a memorization test; rather, it is meant to assess the student's practical knowledge and comprehension of the subject.
Students do not need to memorize the material for an open-book exam; instead, they should be able to comprehend it, evaluate it, and consider it from several angles. Answers in books cannot be copied by students. because responses that are copied verbatim from literature receive no marks from the examiner. When students use concepts from the book to write successfully in their own language, they receive marks for their work. Let me explain with an example: If a student copies the teacher's text verbatim from his notebook, he will not receive any credit. But he will receive full credit if he comprehends that paragraph and rewrites it in his native tongue.
