Question
In season 3 of Veronica Mars when Veronica and Wallace go to university, Wallace buys previous exam papers and answer keys. Apparently, this is cheating.
In my alma mater, this was being resourceful: My alma mater's instructors (href="https://academia.stackexchange.com/questions/27871/are-identical-make-up-exams-fair">usually) assume word of the exam will get out and makes the succeeding tests accordingly.
What's going on? Is this some dumb university that stubbornly refuses to change exam questions each year and gaslights students into thinking they're cheaters for looking up previous exam papers when really they're lazy/negligent for not making new exam papers as explained here? (Update: Also here.)

I don’t think they were previous exams… didn’t Max talk about how much work it was keeping them current when defending his slacker profession?
