I'm not a med student.. but ultimately as a patient think this is how we should want our doctors to work
"as a patient" lol nope! Obama succeeded into transforming patients into consumers of healthcare, that's what Obamacare (aka "Romneycare") is about: privatization. That's why Biden put all responsibility of dealing with covid on individuals navigating the marketplace to buy products from Big Pharma corpos
I don't want them to rely on just the stuff they managed to memorize at some point in time,
some point in time: (ages 12-80)
I'd much rather have someone that knows to research open questions
the PMC who think "Elon Musk is saving the environment!" believes human anatomy is an 'open question'. Nobody has ever isolated a virus before!!! Nobody knew that washing your hands before surgery was important, no one knew!
and is comfortable collaborating with others to finding the answer.
Neoliberals: "collectivism is Stalinist red fascism"
also libs: (demi-human borg drones whose brains (and souls) are so atrophied they can only resemble an actual person with the help of a herd of ChatGPT zombies surrounding them and gibbering like Kamala Harris)
Believing this doesn't make you a neoliberal this is the default stance of chapo dot chat
There's quite a difference between open book and just using other people's notes. The whole point of taking notes is that the process of note taking helps with learning and understanding. Looking at someone else's notes is basically pointless for anything but cheating.
Memorization is garbage, but if you don't have your own notes for the open book test you probably never actually studied the book in the first place.
The comment OP posted was about med students using their texts during online tests
I thought the comment was about med students not reading their own text books and just looking at the OPs notes?
The thread was about:
A med student who took detailed notes and shared them with a select few classmates
Finding out that other students also got access to those notes
Getting upset when no students were willing to share notes or help her in a class she was having trouble with despite her notes helping them in other classes
And refusing to share notes at all as a result
Side note: at the conclusion we find out many of those students were cheating, and that's why they were doing well at classes OP was failing, and thus they were not positioned to help her regardless
Chapo are idiots
no u
