Its human nature in the technological world these days. If a professor gives the same exact assignments semester after semester after semester after semester (like they do at Mcneese), then chances are somebody has everything you need on a jump drive or in a binder from someone who already took the course. Now exams are a different story. You study your a$$ off and dont sleep for a week and pass the test. College teaches you how to learn and use critical thinking and problem solving skills. Using 3 pages to solve one problem for a homework assignment worth only 5 points that in the real world I can google in 2 seconds? Yeah I think I will copy that down so I can go work my double shift at the restaurant and pay my bills. Call it lazy or unethical but I'm pretty damn good at my job and I've never once had to do a differential equation at work.
