Agreed, I now greatly regret it knowing what I know about the theory of learning, but I crammed my entire way through college and graduated with honors. It's embarrassing to say but I can recall close to 0 of the facts or formulas that I regurgitated onto any of my exams.
- rramadass 5y agoI can assure you that 99% of ALL students have done the same whatever they may claim otherwise. This is simply due to our educational system and social/biological pressures. The way i have tried to remedy this in my own self is to buy lots of books and try and give myself a proper education in the sense of really understanding something to the extent possible with the amount of work and time i am willing to invest. There is no pressure, no deadlines, no competition but simply a desire to learn and understand i.e. knowledge for knowledge's sake. The use of technology in the above endeavour is problematic. The Internet is a huge distraction and time sinkhole and there is too much junk to sift through to get at any actual nuggets. Hence i use it to get an idea of a subject domain and then try to get actual books to study in that domain. The final point is to sit with pen and paper and take notes, read aloud the subject matter to better imprint on the mind, all aimed towards engaging the body with the mind to strengthen the learning process. Typing on a keyboard does not have the same effect.
