Sounds kinda adversarial from the teachers perspective.

Ehh moreso that the expectations of the student with all possible resources available are much higher than an in person exam from rote. Some proofs on the in person exam would be trivial as they were similar to ones in the textbook. Take home proofs could go several pages and require you to extrapolate from what was learned so far.

I understand the "lesson" he's teaching them and also understand that open book tests should be harder.

Point is that he's tricking them. Or letting them trick themselves. That's not what a friend or trusted adult would do. That's what an adversary would do.

He has power over these kids in a big way and should be honest and up front about the reality of the situation.

In college everybody knows that open book exams are harder
