You shouldn't cheat in college, however I used text messaging to find out formulas today on some of my finals and I feel bad about it. Guilty Conscience.....

My algorithms tests are open book and open note, and it's still going to be hard. I've never understood making people memorize forumlas.</div>

Anyone who needs them is going to be able to look them up. Same with CS - an instructor of mine said he stopped having students code on tests because as Zhuge said, most people code with a few reference books around.

Really, it's the exact opposite of what you said. In the three core subjects I've studied at school - CS, math and physics - people who work in those fields have mini-libraries of reference books lying around.</div>

[Kupek]

<div style='font: 10pt verdana; text-align: left; padding: 0% 10% 0% 10%; '>Oh, and those doctors have very thick books for diagnosing patients. Some are obvious, others require looking something up.</div>
