Question: How do you feel about open book tests?

They bug me when I know the source material really well because it’s a crutch for those who don’t know the material. Although I’ll have to admit that if I don’t know the material they make things much much easier.

On the whole, I’m against them in classes I enjoy and for them in classes I hate. Although if I had to choose between all open book and all closed book tests, I’d choose all closed book.
