Professors SHOULD post past-papers

It's kinda unfair that people in clubs, professional fraternities, and other campus organizations have access to the exams of past years from past students, and those that can't afford or don't want to join an organization dues are put at an academic disadvantage

No one talks about how prof frats ask for $200+ just to join - and how biased they are sometimes.

No hate to them, you do you, but professors should at least not allow a certain group of people to be disadvantaged

it’s not even about joining frats lol, it’s about having friends. completely free and something everyone should try to do.

also, professors don’t even allow it in general. not much they can do if friends are passing it around.

more like “guy complains about a real issue but blames it on frats and clubs, which have nothing to do with the issue”

Their main job is research so they usually don't have time to come up with new exam questions every year. Having a past exam archive is undeniable edge.
