Objectives: After studying the article entitled “Open-Book Examinations (OBEs) in an Ultrasound Physics Course: A Good Idea or a Bad Experiment?” you will be able to:
Discuss advantages of open-book testing
Describe different uses of resource material during open-book examinations
Explain different open-book examination (OBE) methods
What is the most common cognitive assessment method? Restricted open book Closed book Unrestricted open book Scanning competencies
According to student feedback, one of the biggest benefits of OBE is: Improved scores Reduced stress and anxiety Increased retention Shorter test time
As shown in Figure 4, how did most students use their textbook during examinations? Looked up all examination questions Looked up only unknown questions Completed entire examination before looking up any questions Did not use the textbook
What is the advantage of OBE over CBE? Improved test scores Increased retention Improved study habits Increased memorization
What kind of resources are students allowed to use with restricted open-book examinations? Course textbook Lecture notes Internet search/Google Instructor-approved material
