My digital logic professor was so lazy he reused previous year homework questions on exams and exams were completely open notes. The old questions were available with answers on old versions of the course website that were still online. Everyone just brought the answers to each exam.

He may not have been lazy; he may not believe in the system.

He was probably still believing in the salary he was drawing from the system.

Exams are for you to evaluate your progress, a professor doesn't give a flying duck about your grades, maybe only in the statical sense. You are only lying to yourself.

Your GPA may be what gets your foot in the door, but your knowledge and your ability will determine the long arc of your career.
