I recently stumbled across a cool site at http://freshexams.com that offers College and University exams & essays for download. While not necessarily fitting the bill as a "fileshare" story, it’s definitely something that students should take a look at. There’s an assortment of stuff in both *.PDF and *.DOC format - exams, essays & papers for Electrical Engineering, Anthropology and a bunch of other stuff I know nothing about!

Here’s the site blurb:

"FreshExams, started in the spring of 2008, is the project of a college student tired of professor inadequacy and lack of exam prep material. Practice and past exams should be freely available to students desiring that extra edge in their endless attempts to pass exams and avoid scrutiny from both parents and peers.

"In this day and age, where exams make up a sizable portion of final grades, and those final grades allow us to continue on to a successful living or fast food career, we as students should not have to wonder and guess what questions will appear on our exams, or whether our study guides and materials contain everything we need to know. Staying up all night studying and stressed to the extreme, only to open the exam to a question that was never discussed but assumed to be known, should not happen, yet occurs to us all at some point during our college years.

To get access to the downloads, you’ll need to first register (and login) with FreshExams. Got something you’d like to contribute? Feel free so submit your school papers, essays or exams. Users can even add a particular request in any of the available study fields.

We spoke with the admin of the site, and he’s in the presently in the process of adding another 200 documents to the site:

"The goal is to have a base of couple hundred to start with, and then while constantly updating personally, rely on the users to donate exams and such.  The recent uploads keep track of newest 10 exams uploaded, with a link directly to their description page, which you will see once exams are uploaded."

Now if only they could put out a paper to admonish BitTorrent users against the dangers of using lame public trackers!
