 |John Galt|no|I hold the same opinion as Schrodinger's dog. I am for this individual quiz grade revision, I suppose, but I don't like the idea of an open notes or notecard test. If at all possible, I would rather see more homework or more example problems, but I do remember seeing nearly everything that was on the test (except for maybe problem 3).| |John Galt|no|I hold the same opinion as Schrodinger's dog.

 |Liam Devlin|??|I like the idea of having a standard equations sheet written by Yuichi.  I think it is more fair in a test situation if everyone has the same resource.  Also, if we are given the sheet before the test, we could use it to study.  Also, I'm completely against an open book test because I feel like that will just make the test questions ridiculously hard.| |Liam Devlin|??|I like the idea of having a standard equations sheet written by Yuichi.  I think it is more fair in a test situation if everyone has the same resource.  Also, if we are given the sheet before the test, we could use it to study.  Also, I'm completely against an open book test because I feel like that will just make the test questions ridiculously hard.|
 +|Hydra|no| Maybe a standard equation sheet by Yuichi, but otherwise no eqn sheet.  I'd rather have the test start everybody off on the same ground.  And definitely no open book test! |

 +|Daniel Faraday|no|We are already able to ask a proctor for the form of an equation if we know what equation we need. To me, that removes any incentive to have note cards. Also, it takes time and effort to prepare a note card, and that time does not go towards learning quantum physics. If there were a note card, I would want it to be done the way Prof Lysak does it, where every student gets a sheet of formulas with the exam. The formula sheet is also posted a week before the exam so students can see what is going to be on it. Then our skill at preparing note cards doesn't affect our exam performance.| 
 +|Jake22|No|This is an introductory course, and I do not believe we should be allowed any supplemental material other than an equation sheet provided by the professor with the test. We are not allowed to bring notecards for the GRE. If we should be allowed anything extra to help us during the test, we should be allowed to access the text and have the difficulty raised accordingly.|

 One of the most difficult parts of QM is just understanding it, so being given a problem that is over our heads is not usually very productive.  I realize we should learn how to do these harder problems as well, but a lot of the time it just feels like "Okay I understand how to do it after you told me, but I never would have thought of that myself..." One of the most difficult parts of QM is just understanding it, so being given a problem that is over our heads is not usually very productive.  I realize we should learn how to do these harder problems as well, but a lot of the time it just feels like "Okay I understand how to do it after you told me, but I never would have thought of that myself..."

 +There's no "right" solution to this issue but I believe there are some prerequisites that must be satisfied. 
 + 
 +1) Reading must be completed prior to lecture and discussion. For whatever reason (busy schedules, higher priorities) I've heard more then once that someone hadn't completed the reading prior to class.
 +2) Beginning (attempting) homework prior to Monday. This goes along with reading. Attempting the homework expands upon what basic knowledge was attained after reading. In addition, attempting homework generates questions for lecture and discussion. Putting off homework until the last minute is a bad, but very easy, habit to fall into.

 +Before we point fault elsewhere let's first evaluate ourselves!
