- Wowfunhappy 7y agoThat part just did not describe my experience in college. Maybe I was bad at knowing what "could turn up as a test question." My college also did not have any old tests floating around, at least as far as I was aware.
- fhennig 7y agoI think we should just drop book work questions altogether and allow students to take notes into the exam. Just make the tests about analysis and synthesis, which is the stuff you should be able to do if you truly understood something and didn't just memorize some facts.
- watwut 7y agoIn classes I have seen, things you could ignore were minority of it and usually side stuff like funny anecdotes, minor players that are there for you to get feel for the context, famous nun dick tree and such. This stuff helps you learn important stuff and makes it all less dry, but it absolutely does not make sense to penalize students for not learning it actively.
