Yeah if you go to a less than stellar university your data sources and paper sources are not that great.
I went to a poorly ranked undergrad and had most of the standard stuff.
I went to a top 10 for my post grad and we had so much stuff, market research reports that normally only consulting companies can afford, top data sources, virtually every journal subscription imaginable, top level subscriptions to online textbook resources.
Imagine a school which pays for a license so you can download PDF's of the textbooks for free.
Made a huge difference, the fact we all had access to this stuff meant the courses could teach literally from the research papers so we learned cutting edge stuff.
My exams were made up of content from research papers written between 2015-2018. Practically brand new developments.
Compared with the poor university which taught from the standard texts.
- overkalix 8y agoI'm a PhD student and my university has a pretty decent subscription. But while downloading a paper from a uni IP is very straightforward, from outside campus one has to jump through so many hoops that sci hub is the most comfortable option.
