All students collaborating on notes kind of defeats the point no? As I see it study notes are reminders to link you back to when you were reviewing the material. If you never wrote the notes you wont get that connection back to the material.

The shared study notes represent shared understanding of the topics at hand. Different people grasp concepts in different way and seeing how other people think/understand/deduce/... (at least for me) makes a world of difference.

Like seeing a PR and going "holy s**, would never have dreamed of doing it that way" - I have learned A LOT in a looooong SWE career from that...

I agree that collectively they understand but they dont sit the exam collectively. If it works, it works I guess.

On the one hand, this is the kind of closed mind the zen guy in the root comment was talking about.

On the other hand, you're probably right...

Perhaps wisdom is closing your mind to common stupidity.
