The worst of Polish education. No wonder Polish universities are bottom of the list. [142]
My teacher in middle school was saying that's good to write cheating sheets because when preparig it kids learn!
some of my teachers allowed one standard sized cheat sheet. Those were works of art. One time I wrote so small to fit it all in, I could not read them myself. I think the teacher knew we were not really meant to memorize all these formulas.
In US, as far as reviewing the past test from the teachers - that is pretty much a standard. In some of the more advanced engineering classes, going cold to a final without a clue of what kind of questions that teacher usually asks is considered unsufficient preparation. Sometimes the students get lucky when a lazy teacher does not change the tests at all. It's the same as telling others what kind of questions were asked, except now, it all gets stored electronically. Within an hour, the test is recreated from memory and saved for posperity. That's one of the fringe benefits of the greek system.
Of course, during tests: no cell phones allowed, no calculators, no bugs in ears, no leaving to the bathroom, if two students are caught communicating, both get an immediate F, which usually means failing the class.
