I do love how they throw in that their test scores were totally up to the standards.

They're wacky, but they're also real smart. They could have gotten in if they really wanted to.

Yeah they always seem to throw that in. With college ones it's always something like that, with things like the ones from stores banning people it's always something like "we found this hilarious but rules are rules" or whatever.

If that was any kind of difficult class, she probably still didn't do great because she spent so much time on the giant notecard than actually doing practice problems. I had an exam that was open book, open notes and most of the class except those of us who have taken exams like that were rejoicing. The class average was somewhere around 55/100 because there was very little in the book that could get you beyond the first few steps of each problem (there were only 2 of them).

Isn't that the teacher's tweet on the left saying exactly that?

Unless the STDH is the student actually showing up with that and not a stunt photo.

There's no way a restaurant would have even considered honoring that order unless they paid in advance. I mean, even the biggest chain pizza on the planet couldn't put that many pizzas out in a single order without them all getting cold as hell, so they wouldn't do it unless the person understood they would all be cold and it would take half the day to cook them all. Even 20 pizzas is a huge order that they should have called and discussed with the manager instead of just ordering on mobile.

There's also no way an online pizza ordering form accepts "2000" as the quantity.

re: notes for testing

Every teacher and professor I've had was cool about letting us use their slips as loopholes. Personally, I was a fan of blue and red colored pencils, and using 3d glasses. You can technically get 2x the amount of info on the card, using the respective blue and red lens to read each color.

Also, putting that much effort into making a giant rear end notecard will help you study by proxy, because as you're writing/typing all that info out, you're subconsciously committing it to memory. Open book tests have a higher rate of failure because instead of relying on memory for correct answers, and trusting those answers, kids are more prone to look up each and every answer, often running out of time.

How do you manage to walk outside and not have any idea what the weather is before you step in it? It’s snow, it goes literally everywhere and is hard not to see unless you have no windows inside your house and no connection to the outside world

Also, that’s still not an endearing way to go, “LOL you guys just in case you forgot I’m an insufferable shut-in and here’s why, lol isn’t it hilarious that I hadn’t been outside in so long I didn’t even know it snowed? aren’t I crazy?!”

I had a professor for an English class always have her test open book. She openly told students “if you have to look up every single thing, you’re not going to do good on the test anyway, so what do I care?”

She also didn’t give a poo poo if people walked out of class together even to give each other answers because “if you have to stop your test to give someone else the answer. It’s only hurting you and helping them. So if that’s what you wanna do, go for it.”

She was a fantastic prof.

My driver's ed teacher would drink a 2 liter of diet coke during every in-class session and take frequent bathroom breaks. During the final written test, he left the room altogether so everyone just collaborated and got a perfect score.

Which was good, because most of us would have failed. Which was bad, because I wonder how many car accidents that guy is responsible for.

I think one of the cleverest questions I had in an English class was one where it gave an excerpt from a sparknotes page about the book, and then said “write an essay explaining why this is wrong.”

Also if it's cold enough to snow, it's been too cold to walk outside in bare feet for quite a while.

If anything that would go double for a shut-in, since the outdoors would feel extra-cold compared to their nerd den.

There's some truth to that. You actually learn a lot from making a small notecard, because it forces you to prioritize and pick out what's most important. Just copying everything is a lot less useful.

You've never been to Colorado. It was shorts and T-shirt weather Sunday afternoon, and down to single degrees (Fahrenheit) and snowing by later that night.

I guess it varies from subject to subject, but yeah blindly copying every equation in the book is counterproductive considering the tests are always about using them, not memorizing them. Like I used to know people who would spend hours hiding notes in the form of TI-89 programs and it just seemed like a big waste of time, especially since giving out formula sheets was pretty common in those types of classes.

I studied in Norway, and we used slightly different wording for open book exams. On open book exams it was written that "All aides are allowed". One of my professors told us that one year, one student brought in his older brother who was some sort of phd expert in the subject as an aide, and due to the wording they had to allow it. That could very well be stdh.txt.

There's old caltech lore similar to that.


Caltech physics courses usually do their exams as open book tests. The intro physics final allowed "All your class notes, and Feynman".

The professor meant the textbook by Feynman, but one of the students went down the hall to Actual Feynman, who thought it was hilarious and took the test for them.

Next year the rules were phrased a bit differently.
