It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

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)

The neoliberal dream is to de-skill every profession so that uppity skilled professionals are easily interchangeable and replaceable.

Can't wait to be operated on by someone who took a six week training course on how to use ChatGPT to find tumors.

Nevermind tumors, imagine any sort of transportation being assembled by people who don't know how to.

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

[–] queermunist@lemmy.ml 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I thought the comment was about med students not reading their own text books and just looking at the OPs notes?

[–] fox@hexbear.net 13 points 10 months ago

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
