Open book online-proctored test announced by Anna University seems to have caught the attention of senior professors of Bharathidasan University.
Further refining the initiative pioneered last year by Delhi University in the country, Anna University has allowed students to refer to course material in print and in the web, but considers any form of discussion among students as malpractice.
All questions, according to engineering college heads, will be of analytical type for which no direct answers could be found in reference books.
‘Not easy as it sounds’
According to a senior professor of Bharathidasan University, open book exam is not as easy as it sounds. It requirespresence of mind on the part of students to know how to chaff out the answer from reference books within the specific time duration.
