Does anyone keep Workspaces open when answering quiz?

I keep Workspaces open in a separate window while taking quizzes. Realize I am using it as a crutch and might be considered "cheating", but all the engineers I work with look at Stack Overflow several times a day. Seems like "cheating" is an accepted norm in tech. What is the official Treehouse recommendation? Workspaces closed or open during quizzes?

I wouldn't really say it was cheating looking on Stack Overflow and etc because it is part of what a programmer has to do. It would be impossible to remember every single library and method and etc in a language.

What I would say about the quizzes is try your hardest to answer all of the questions without the help of workspaces as this way you are more likely to remember it in the future.
