I had lots of open book/note exams. They were also much harder. I even had an exam where the professor allowed us to use our laptops and the Internet. You can imagine how much harder that exam was. There were very few exams where I wasn't allowed a limited amount of notes (usually a full notecard or sheet of paper). The ones that weren't were in classes like intro psychology where most of the class is just memorizing things anyway.
