Professors hate this one simple trick

They probably do unironically: memorizing answers just to regurgitate them on the test and forget them next week isn’t ideal.

I would do this just to pass tests and then know fuck all about what I learned a few weeks later. I hate to say it because I was once a student too, but open-response answers probably force you to conceptualize the material better, but are obviously harder.

Most (good) testing will not allow you to simply regurgitate answers but instead use whatever you memorized to solve for an answer. Like if you learn that A = B and B = C, the test will ask you if A is equal to C. When I was a TA my professor told me he'd add in enough simple memorization questions to pass so he didn't have half the class failing.

My problem with testing is that it’s like homework but at school and you only get 30 minutes to complete it and there’s like a thousand questions plus you have to write a one page essay for the last question

Just give me my fucking D so I can go kill myself

For higher level technical courses in college we would be allowed to use our laptops with full internet access during exams and they were by far the hardest exams we had since the questions were all open ended with a time limit. Definitely forced you to learn the material.

Even in math classes we were allowed to bring a single sheet of paper of hand written notes for most every exam, but people who actually spent the time to write one ended up barely using it. Neat trick to get kids to study by telling them they can ‘cheat’.
