These sort of folks run rampant at Baylor. I know of at least 5 or 6 students who hoard a lot of the "prime" material (tests, etc). It doesn't bother me so much because we have a ton of resources as it is, and it's not worth getting bent out of shape over.
I can recall an incident last year just before the end of our first semester. A student took it upon himself to email the class regarding a certain "private" website that was hosting class objectives. At Baylor, we are given a list of objectives before every lecture, and this is where most of the testable material is supposed to come from. I was personally in charge of running a sort of "study group" composed of about 15 students that would get together and complete these objectives. One person would handle 1 or 2 lectures per week and submit them to the group via email. We had a nice email system going, but I decided it would be best to archive these objectives on the web for future reference in case anyone misplaced an old objective.
At any rate, I thought it was ridiculous to make this website well-known and open to the world since this was OUR intellectual property that we were submitting (thoughts, etc about the material), so I simply password-protected the site to make sure everyone's name, etc was kept confidential. Granted, we didn't want to do the work for everyone, so password-protecting the site wasn't a bad idea. All in all, it was just a simple study group, nothing more. One classmate became rather irrate over this situation and demanded that we work together, etc etc. I didn't see the big deal with having the site password protected in the first place since it was a study group and our completed objectives could easily be reproduced by looking at the syllabi/textbooks.
Apparently, we weren't the only ones hosting a sort of objectives list. At least two-thirds of the class were exchanging emails regarding these objectives. We were the only ones archiving, though.
What really gets me is the fact that the person who accused me of not playing along with "the team" is one of the biggest exam/information-****** in our class. Med school is full of hypocritical lame-os 🙂
