Quote from: I wanted a rude username on December 06, 2019, 08:18:33 pmI had a physics teacher that said exactly that. Some years ago someone asked during a class why we can't have a test with the help of the internet. Some people jumped in the bandwagon of the initial idea.The teacher just replied, "If all of you want, we can have, but it will not help, I will choose questions tailored to be hard to search for solutions. Just because the tests without consultation have questions you can easily use the notebook to solve them, that doesn't mean that said "internet consultation" test will have the same level of questions." After she finished we could listen the silence in the classroom. The proposal were dismissed. Remember we are talking about the late 90s, early 2000, the years of the Internet Boom were everyone who were young think that the Internet had solution for everything, just shy away of a search in Altavista or Yahoo.
His answer: Anything that you can drag in by yourself. 70% failed.
