I had someone straight up ask my professor if it was a good idea from study from his previous tests, he just asked for the kid's name and continued with the lecture.. scary. anyways, why did they have 500 students in a capstone course, shouldn't that be like 10 students? cmon ucf

That professor is a lazy bastard. I know plenty of professors like him at my university who constantly reuse the same stuff. Most people i know have the past questions for tests/exams (the good profs will even give it to you). They reap what they sow. If he's going to be lazy and taking questions from a publicly available set of questions or re-use questions from past tests/exams, that isn't cheating, its smart studying. I'll tell you what cheating is, copying friend's assignments, notes in an exam etc. Studying past questions cause the professor is too lazy to make up new ones isn't cheating.

Hm I don't see the difference between doing (publicly available) past tests with a professor that re-uses questions from past tests and using a (publicly available) test bank with a professor that re-uses questions from said test bank. So how is one fine while the other is not?
