How does one fail an open book test?

That approach might work for some students but not for all.

Writing EVERYTHING down means that the student is not truly listening. All he is doing is copying. He needs to think and take the time to ASK questions. It could work for courses that require memorization and are more "fact based" like in medicine, law, social sciences and art courses but it would not work for courses like chemistry, physics and math.

Based on my experience, I think sometimes just getting a test in an unexpected format can throw the grade out the window.

This is Canada. We mark harder,much harder. We expect a larger spread of marks (as per the normal curve) in a class room. Marks are meaningless if every second kid gets a 90%. I find it shocking that,in many parts of the US, there is such mark inflation.

We have had this discussion before so I will not go on but the very fact that Canada has consistently rated high in international studies of educational quality says it all.
I wish we marked harder; went back to the days when kids wrote final exams worth 100% of their final mark.
