Another interesting comment from Maclean's
"Elkin
Asian university students are false high achievers. I have a graduate engineering degree from UofT and also took several undergraduate courses on math, physics and computer science there. I can assure everybody that 100 percent of the asian students I met got their good grades by working in teams when forbidden, copying solutions from solved old assignments and by having unfair access to previous years midterms and final exams gotten as legacy from they fellow countrypeople who were their seniors. For asian students plagiarism and academic fraud was something natural and the way of life.
Now, you can wonder why those asians high achievers do not trascend as scientist, researchers, entrepreneurs, social or political activist while the less high achieving caucasian, black, latin or middle eastern people do transcend.
Here's the reason: unlike the asians they did not cheated their degrees just by fraud!!!! the less achievers worked respecting the rules and put some true effort on everything they did. This achievement-by-clean-work attittude drives to true results and true scientific, economic and social development contribution."
我做学生和做TA的时候,不仅仅中国学生这样,哪里的学生都这样,当地人还找我要原来的卷子呢,切~~~
再说了,没有明文规定不能借原来的卷子和笔记吧,我的老师在课堂上都说了,我不在乎你们有原来的笔记和卷子,因为我的题目年年变。原来的笔记和卷子总结的考试考点,data一变,几个考点一交叉又是新题,还不是看个人的理解和掌握了,说白了还是这些学生自己没有用功。应付考试,他们不是中国人的对手。
