10. When answering the take-home exam questions, remember that an open-book exam is a test
at a higher level than the usual type of exam, where memory is tested as much as insight. In
an open-book exam, you need not memorise any information. You are expected to prove that
you can use information, rather than merely repeat it. In brief, what is being tested is factual
knowledge, understanding and the correct application thereof, not memory skills. For this
reason, you do not earn marks by merely detailing a list of all the information that you think
might be relevant to a particular question. This gives no indication that you know what statutory
or other provisions are applicable in a specific context. You are expected to identify precisely
what information applies, and then explain why you think so.
