Open Book Exam

Overview

Questions in open book exams need to be created to assess the interpretation and application of knowledge, comprehension skills, and critical thinking skills rather than only knowledge recall.

Here are some tips:

• Use case studies and scenarios that require students to apply critical thinking skills
• Create clear and unambiguous questions to limit time spent interpreting the question so students can spend their time making use of their textbook or memory aid to effectively answer the questions
• Devise questions that require students to apply and make use of the information from their textbook or notes rather than simply requiring them to locate and re-write this information
• Design your questions and overall exam paper with the learning outcomes in mind
  • i.e. what skills and knowledge are you assessing?
• Consider an exam that involves groups of students answering questions together 
  • promotes collaboration and deep engagement in the questions when students work to arrive on an answer
