  The part you remembered is the important part, you’re only missing the extra flourish. Overall that’s a much better outcome than the inverse

  This is actually the crux of why education needs to be reformed. Are exams really testing our intelligence?

    Test taking is a skill all its own. It shouldn’t be, but man I have slacked so many classes because I have that skill.

    The best class I ever had, a course on the physics behind the functionality of renewable energy systems, the professor would give you the equation if you couldn’t remember it. You’d have to go up and talk to him, if you were really struggling, and you needed to know what you were trying to do, but he’d try to hint you through it first, then provide what you were missing. Ultimately he didn’t see students failing on dumb memory stuff as any sort of win for anyone.

    As he said, despite being physics, memorizing math, and especially formulae, isn’t the point of the class.

    He was my favorite. He wore white socks with soccer ball-patterned sandals every day, with dress pants and a blazer/tie combo, even winter, and rode his bike to campus. Dude was an absolute gem.

      I only see maths as really examinable, but other forms of knowledge should be garnered from experience, such as using a microscope and identifying cells, etc.

  Hey at least you remember most of it, maybe not the parts of it you should remember , but still most of it
