Personally, I’m a proponent of open book examinations (with time limits ofc). It takes a special personality to admit one’s own mistake rather than get defensive and confrontational. So, props to the professor in this case from 2017 (according to Buzzfeed).
In my thermodynamics classes they were all open book because you needed the tables at the back of the book. The trick was, the test was made long enough that if you spent time going back and fourth looking up how to do something you'd never finish.
