I think the main reason there is a regulation against giving the students
questions already discussed is to minimize the chance of a professor giving
away grades by teaching the students how to pass the exams rather than
teaching them how to pass the class. It also gives them something to use
against a teacher found pulling stunts in his classes with certain students
(remember the $64,000 question game show scandals? Same things applies). In
real life (not to be mis-construed with the reality that most university
administrations seem to live in) these regulations are usually useless,
because a professor can do most of the things they are supposed to regulate
very easily....
