A teacher of mine had similar rules in highschool, and I remember one girl brought a fucking scroll that unfurled down to the floor.

Eventually it’s less a test of what you know, and more a test of how quick can you get through a reference guide.

It’s a way to trick kids into studying and to raise test scores.
Also to have some rare fun when people do the above.

I’m not a teacher, but honestly I think that’s a fine way to do things. If you can create a resource to answer questions from and find answers using it in a timely manner, then the problem is solved. You’ve learned how to answer questions
Several of my coworkers cannot use resources already provided (Google) to find answers to common questions

Btw if anybody is still in school, this is still a great study method. I make cheat sheets for my exams and the challenge of streamlining the important information from a semester to a single page is the best study method I’ve found, because not only do you have to devise what is and isn’t important, but by handwriting it you remember even more. The best part is, it doesn’t take a ton of time to study this way, especially compared to rereading the text or going over notes.

Accept my teachers increased the difficulty for those test and if we had to use calculators oh man did they make it complicated. Total jerks.

You kind of have to accept it, the teachers write the tests.

Well usually that way the tests aren’t just about if you remember a specific formula but if you can actually use them effectively and that is a much more important skill.

Someonw should have told that to my school. It was always the thing we learned with overly complex numbers. Always cost us so much time.

Cool professors just give you a formula sheet.

I remember buying jumbo note cards after my professor said we were allowed to bring a notecard without specifying the size.
I also remember commandeering my school’s ultra high resolution poster printer in order to print notes in extremely small font, alongside using LaTeX to let me format the document in a way that maximized my ability to stuff it full of information. The person who helped me do that let me know that the note sheet alone cost the school roughly $4.00/double sided page, or 1/100th the lab fee for the class I printed it for, even though that class had no lab and was in a regular, non-lab lecture hall.

One time in high school, someone asked about this shape during a math exam and our professor showed us this shape. Nobody could do it, as the formula sheet was just a sticky note, but it wouldn’t be a problem if someone could’ve made it, the professor said.

In practice simply asking the professor if using a Möbius strip is acceptable will get them to amend the rules to allow double sided.
