Depending on what "more" is comparing to, I do not necessarily agree with this assessment. Last year's exam assesses a pretty good representative sample of the skills and understanding necessary for the learning outcomes.

I do not intend to reveal anything about the specific content of the exam. Any of the material covered in this unit may be assessed. I do not see how being open book would suggest there would be more or less coding. Do not read too much into it being open book. It is not intended to communicate any extra information as to the content of the exam. I encourage you to watch the final revision lecture, if you have not already, where I answer questions on the format of the exam. I have attempted to write an exam that fairly assesses student ability in the learning outcomes. None of the learning outcomes require rote memorization of any information, so there is no reason for me to restrict access to memory aids such as reference materials. In an ideal world no one would need any reference materials, but it is impossible for me to predict what a student will struggle to remember, so instead I choose to permit any reference material, and design the exam so that having any particular reference material should not be an unfair advantage. I am trying to assess the student, not the book they bring. Gozz
