You know what's funny...
All this talk about Health Scis being obnoxious know-it-alls...snobbish...pom pous and stand-offish...
I'm in Health Sci, and I get the standard "Health Sci" treatment from my peers.
Some of them.
I can point them out to you.
Must be because I'm the misfit, eh? Charity case?

but personally, i'm more upset towards the selective treatment from the school towards health sci's benefit, rather than health sci's themselves. everyone's probably aware that they have access to a network called learnlink which is pretty much like a localized avenue that runs off a software. but what a vast majority isn't aware of, is that they have access to a pool of old material that nobody else is given (previous quizzes, tests etc.). i'm pretty sure they all know that it's exclusive to them, yet i've never seen any of them willingly announce that they will distribute the resources for others to use. its funny because i've taken a couple health sci courses before, and had temporary access to learnlink (other biochem and nursing courses use learnlink as well; the entire health sci umbrella), but it stands that only health sci'ers have access to all the goodies. i know this because i had a friend in the program that let me on his account to download the material that i needed for my courses. i get that mac holds a lot of pride in their health sci program, but come on don't neglect your other children :'(

there's no denying that health sci's are smart, but i thought it was an unfair favoritism shown by mac as an institute. its like us civilians racing against pro athletes who are given cleats while we run in our humble sneakers
just to be clear, i very much so like health sci students; i dont like what mac's doing for them, and them only
I don't understand why everybody makes a big deal about how there is old material on LearnLink. Profs, faculty members, or McMaster does not give us past years stuff. These notes, etc. are posted on LearnLink by upper year Health Scis who just want to share it with their work and resources with other students. Any other faculty can share their notes they make fora class and stuff with anybody in their program if they chose to.

That's not the point. Well, it is for sharing notes and stuff, but I already addressed that. It doesn't matter if you don't see the point in others making a big deal of it, the reality is that it contributes to the negative image people have of health scis, which is what was originally asked.

As for sharing old tests and assignments, the fact that the profs AREN'T sharing them makes it academic dishonesty. Saying that the stuff is posted by students really doesn't make anything better.

Ahem. Please deviate from bashing on health sciences and stick to the topic of the OP.
