Given the nature of this course, in which our three exams were open book and open note, we find a closed book final exam to be unfair and would prefer an open book exam or other substitute. Having open note exams all semester, in which we were encouraged to use any source for answers, and then cramming for a closed note final does not foster positive study skills.
Seeing this much traction confirms that I am not the only one feeling blindsided by this sudden change in expectations. It feels validating to know so many of my classmates agree that we need a fair assessment.

Makes zero sense to change the rules now. We have been learning this way all semester.

If the point of the class was to learn how to research and use resources then why stop now? Seems like a trap.

Seriously? After using notes for every single test? That is so ridiculous.
