The Black Market of Information is not about cheating. It's about competition.
Most of the material being passed around is irrelevant at best, due to the fact that it's been passed down from 1998. If useful, it was written by a previous student tutor or even made up by students in our class. There is nothing shady going on here, at least not that I've seen. I'm enough of a prude to report it to the administration if I ever found out anyone was actually cheating.
The Black Market of Information simply prevents some people from obtaining this helpful information, so that only the most dedicated, chosen few achieve the highest grades. People around here are gluttons for knowledge, I might even say addicted to it, and hence, the Black Market of Information.
More on that in my next post...
i like how the goal is not to get ahead, but to keep others from doing so. haha. Much easier that way ;)
