![]() Of course, if your institution handles this differently, then things are different. Note that all students were well aware of the material, which was provided either free of charge (written exams, you pay only for the copies) or for a "bottle return" fee (oral exam accounts, you get your money back after writing up your own). ![]() ![]() In all cases, they were valuable tools for checking the study progress and useful practice. In some cases, learning from these old exams was about the only way to understand the questions, unfortunately. Other written exams would be handed to the students after grading, and the most successful ones were retained in the repository. Some of the written exams were provided by the instructors, though typically without answers, to the student government. This is in fact one of the primary functions of that institution for most students. While I agree with most other answers regarding the copyright issue, I want to give a different perspective on "subverting the educational process" or "academic dishonesty": in my country and field of study, the student government had an offline repository of written accounts of oral exams and written exams. Per my understanding, "known, rational facts" cannot be copyrighted, since then you wouldn't even be able to do math to begin with because you'd be using way too many formulas written for other people. ![]() First, I want to make clear that I will not charge anything for this website or access to it, second of all, I would change all the numbers of the questions, from say 2 + 2 to 7 + 5, and I don't think mathematics in any way shape or form can be copyrighted, of course exact wording and scenarios like Alice went can, but not something like prove the sum from 1 to n is (n(n+1))/2 or if it indeed is please point me to a US copyright law that says that. But also, I think I need to clarify some things to get a more concrete answer. I just want to know if this is OK or would I get a cease and desist or something similar from my university? And does posting the exams with/without answers make a difference?Įdit: Sincerely I didn't expect such quick responses and so many of them so thank you guys and thanks to all that may answer in advance. I want to create a database of notes and previous exams for classes at my university, however, I am not sure if this is legal. ![]()
