If you're taking a class with proofs, you're being prepared for research. Doing your own research into, and reverse engineering, proofs is an important skill.

Proofs in math journals are given 'as-is' and you learn the intuition through social means and discussions.
- cclown 6y agoi think general math courses would benefit from teaching that skill _at all_. you'd be hard pressed to find people who took that lesson away from a course.
