Online open-book exams
General Information and Tips for Studying
https://students.unimelb.edu.au/academic-skills/explore-our-resources/exam-prep/open- book-exams
Academic Integrity
Be aware that your exam responses may be checked with academic integrity checking tools.
Please dont engage in plagiarism or academic misconduct. It is a waste of both your own time and that of course teaching staff, and creates a lot of unnecessary paperwork.
Always make sure to use quotation marks and provide the full reference for any information you are quoting.
If there is something you arent sure about, please check with Christoph or Andrew before the exam.

General Points
Just because the exam is open book:
If you think this means you dont have to study. you are mistaken. Exam is timed cant learn that subject matter on the spot.
Use open book as a reference.
The good stuff should already be in your brain.
Questions will often require short, written responses that reflect a meaningful comprehension of the subject matter.
e.g. only giving a definition does not show comprehension (unless the question specifically asks for this).
You need to explain and justify your responses to show comprehension.
You can often use several bullet points to give a short, concise response.
