>That's not how learning works.
I've learned lots of information from classes by just paying attention to the lectures and doing no out of class studying/conversations unless I had particular trouble with something, in a wide range of subjects like physics from Newton's laws to relativity, various history classes, music theory, epistemology, calculus. Is this that unusual of an experience?
- r00fus 10y agoYou may just be predisposed to that form of instruction. Many other folks aren't. One of my most interesting experiences was US history Class in high school. The teacher was supposedly boring as hell (like that guy from ferris bueller). I kind of went into a trance in but recalled quite a bit of facts and did great on his tests. Now did I really grok the subject? Perhaps not.
- lutorm 10y agoNo, I learned lots like that too. But the mere fact that "I've learned a lot from doing X" doesn't mean you wouldn't have learned more from doing Y.
