2 Nov 2009, 3:40 AM  | Laptops in open book exams? You can hide this advertisement by registering. A thought suddenly struck me: are laptops permitted in open book exams? I'm thinking with Law especially, it'll be really useful for organisation of notes and think of how cool the search/find function would be?  Somehow I doubt this is allowed though, but... I've never seen it mentioned anywhere?EDIT: But even if they aren't allowed, wouldn't it be much better to have typed up notes (neat, logically structured) for easy reference in the exams?

 unless you got an abnormal fetish for calligraphy, type up your notes in well-spaced out, indexed paper.

Today, 9:42 AM | no, not really. two reasons: a) computer all over campus, computer at home. the only reason you need a comp is while in transit, which even i don't need. plus, batteries, weight blahblah. best to take notepad, pens, USB flash memory stick and voice recorder. b) impractical really for a law student. risk of theft.

2 Nov 2009, 3:40 AM | Well, a laptop for writing notes in lectures. Then I won't have to retype my written notes when I get home. Closed book...? Shit that means a lot of memorising... Are you sure about that?

31 Jan 2009, 5:50 PM | Depends, about ~80% of usyd law exams are open book and another ~19% is 'limited open book' (course materials allowed) The legal test to see if asqy is talking shit is to see if the words 'usyd law' are in his post
